ROUGH WEATHER
CAUSES RISE IN THE
CHICAGO GRAIN PIT
Oats and Corn Both Were
Stimulated, While PrOvi-
sions Varied, &c Up
to 40c Off

Chicago October 24.-Forecasts OF
rough weather together with reports OF
sub-zero temperatures over the Canadian
northwest did good deal today to put
bears at a disadvantage in the corn mar
ket. Closing prices. although unsettled,
were. e to 1& net higher with December
sl.26is to s1.26A and May s1.2Sss to s1.2sih
Oats finished = to sc up and provisions
varying from SIC decline to 40c advance.
There was persistent buying of corn
throughout the session, whereas offer
ings were at no time large. Besides un-
favorable weather prospects, the motives
for buying included current estimates
that pointed to a shortage Of potatoes
meats and dairy products.
Much notice was taken also Of fresh
strength in the hog market and of the
fact that the visible supply of corn has
seldom been so small as at present. The
high price of cotton and other COM
modities tended likewise to exert .
stimulating influence. Advances, how
ever, were checked somewhat by selling
ascribed to traders who yesterday had
been conspicuous bulls.
Oats were dull but firm in sympathy
with corn.
Packers were said to be selling and
there was talk of larger arrivals of hogs
next week.

New York Futures
New Orleans Cotton

New Orleans, October 24-While the up
ward tendency persisted in cotton today
there were wide reeessions after the hard
spots, as the result of the desire for
profits among owners of long contracts
The disposition to realize was strongest
in the afternoon, that closing prices
showed net gains of only to 81 points.
At one time the active months were IA
TO 1O3 poiNs net higher. The irregularity
of the market was due to the greater
strength of the near months, owing to
covering operations by shorts particularly
in December, which during a good part
of the session was the strongest and most
active option.
Around the opening there was mo-
mentary decline of . to 8 points, COM
pared with the close of Yesterday, under
attempts by bearsh traders to force re-
actions similar to those of yesterday, but
the demand quickly strengthened on bet
ter cables than due, very bad weather
map and prospects of more bad weather
to come and reports of a strong spot
demand in the interior at higher prices
Before the session was very old the
covering movement among shorts set IN
and for while the ring was excited
with a large business doing. In the aft
ernoon it was a quieter market and II
was evident that many traders were even
ing up in preparation for the bureau re-
port on ginning tomorrow.

ELEVENTH HOUR"
COVERING BY SHORTS
SENDS UP OCTOBER
Closed Steady, Net
35 Points Higher to 10
Points Lower on
the Day

New York, October. 24.-The feature
in the cotton market today was the
strength of the near positions and a
erings by eleventh hour" shorts. That
delivery sold up to S2.25c making a new
high record for the life of the contract
and an advance of 2 cents per pound
from yesterdays final quotation.
The movement was automatically
stopped at this level by the maximum
fluctuations rule and the more urgent
demand from shorts had evidently been
supplied, as trading October ended
at midday with the delivery offered at
$500 Other months sold about AZ to
60 points net higher. but reacted in the
late trading with the market closing
steady net 35 points higher to 10 points
lower
The market opened steady at an ad-
vance of to So points on the unfav-
orable weather may and bullish over
night spot advices. There was some
irregularity directly after the call, but
the character of the crop news slim
ulated covering by near month shorts
and the market worked sharply higher
during the late forenoon. December
contracts sold UP to $3.50 and January
to 35.15c, but many buyers of these
months were sellers of later deliveries
and March failed to go above the 3o
cent level. After October was out OF
the way realizing became moro active
and the disposition to take profits on
long contracts in advance of tomorrow s
ginning report was increased by ner-
vousness over the labor situation
December closed al 35.T0c and January
at 35.15c or about % to so points off
from the best.
1t is now understood that the gov
eminent corp report to be published on
Friday of next week will give the con-
dition, but not the indicated yield in
bales owing to the lack of COMPARE
sons
A telegram from Augusta said a
large block of cotton had been booked
there for November shipment to Bre-
men.

GREATER EASE IN
MONEY FEATURED
STOCK MARKET
Call Money Opened at 5 Per
Cent, Lowest in Weeks,
With Time Money
at Seven

New York, October 24.--The most re-
assuring feature of today's less active
but far more orderly stock market, was
the greater ease of money and the
steady accumulation Of substantial ad-
vances of high and low grade railroad
shares.
Call money opened at per cent. the
lowest initial rate in several weeks,
and the more noteworthy, as all loans
hold over till next Monday. Time
money was in better supply, few loans
being reported at slightly under Z
per cent.
Buying of the rails afforded sharp
contrast to the erratic movements of
the two preceding sessions. when spec
ulative issues controlled by pools and
cliques completely overshadowed the
more representative stocks.
The demand for transportations was
SO general as to cause the impress
sion that Developments of the highest
importance affecting those properties
may soon issue from the office of Di-
rector General Hines.
Outstanding features of the railroad
list included Reading, Southern Pa
cific, Atlantic Coast Line and Louis
vile and Nashville, at gains of 8 to 5
points. Among secondary shares, Texas
and Pacific, st. Paul, Baltimore and
Ohio, Pere Marquette, Missouri Pa
cific Western Pacific and Missouri
Kansas and Texas were prominent,
scoring gains of l to 21a points.
Prices in the general list were irregu-
lar at the opening. pressure being ex-
erted by the short interest. probably

industrial conference with it's attend

Joined by food and tobacco issues at
material gains coppers being the only

The bond market was again irregular,
moderate reactions in several of the
rails and industrials contributing to
that end.

issues casing. Total sales (par va1ue)

Coffee Market
n, asea~;.@aS Rrsss

New York, October 24.-The mark ct
for coffee futures was irregular today.
After opening at an advance of 1 point
on May but generally to points
lower. prices rallied several points on
covering and trade buying with Decem-
Der selling at 1920 and May at 16.15c.
The steady ruling of milreis prices in
Rio probably encouraged the advance
but the Santos market was unsettled
and offerings here increased on the
bulge with December later selling off
to 1880 and May to 1890 under
liquidation, chiefly from New Orleans
and Wall street sources. The close was
net 1 point lower to points lower.
Closing bids: October, 5000; Decem-
Der. 1890; January. 1870: March.
1880; May, 1880; July and Septem :
Der, 16c About $4,000 bags of July were
switched into September on even
terms.

mand and very steady at Is Is C to 16R C
for Rio Is, and 25a4 C to 26c for Santos
As. Cost and freight offers included
