Cold weather failed, as usual, to

private crop accounts from the west
were that conditions for picking the
crop were nearly perfect. Accompany

that recent reports of crop damage had
been greatly exaggerated and that the

SCARCITY OF GRAIN
CAUSES A BULL|SH
MARKET IN CHICAGO
Both Corn and Oats Brisk
Up, While the Provisions
List Was 15c Off
to Zoe Up

Chicago, November 5.-Inadequacy of
readily available supplies had bullish
effect today on the corn market Largely
as a result. closing prices, although I'M
settled were to Sssc net higher, with
December 1891 to $40 and May siS2$s
to 81 2h.
Oats gained &c to Lose. In provisions
the outcome ranged from 15c decline to
a rise of zoe.
1t became evident soon after the OPEN
ing that the corn market had developed
notable fresh strength. The most ap-
parent reason was that quotations on
hogs were higher and that indications
pointed to wet weather. Much notice was
also taken Of reports from dealers in
many localities that farmers would not
be free sellers at present prices.
In this connection stress was put on an
estimate that farm stocks of old corn
totaled the smallest aggregate ever
known before except in 1917. Meagerness
OF receipts and continued scarcity of cars
tended to make further buying persistent
and to bring about repeated upturns in
price. especially for the December de-
livery.
Oats were under speculative pressure
from bears, but in the end rallied with
corn.
In PROVISIONS the effect Of the upward
swings of the hog and corn markets was
partly counter balanced through selllnS
ascribed to packers.

New Orleans, November Sit was a
nervous market in cotton today, with
fluctuations much more narrow than
usual and carrying prices both above and
below the level of yesterdays close al
though the bulges were wide enough to
force new high record quotations, De-
cember selling as high as SS.91c. There
was much liquidation at times while at
other times large buying for long ae-
counts appeared. mainly as the result Of
favorable spot accounts Reports from
the interior % Mississippi claimed that
evtra long staples sold at dollar a
pound during the day. Spots here were
80 points higher which made midd!ing
40 soc a pound. Contracts closed points
lower to IS points higher than the final
prices of yesterday.
The failure Of the cold wave to visit the
belt caused selling on the opening under
which prices lost 10 to IS points, but
large buying orders Immediately APP
Deared and there was a quick rise to a
level to 26 points higher than the close
OF yesterday. Following this were recess
sions to levels 10 to 20 points under yes
terda S final, but in the afternoon new
strength development OF expectations of
higher spot markets and the trading was
eent to net advances of iS to Sc points

Iron and Steel Review

Cleveland O., November 5.--(Spe-
ciaI)-Iron and steel production as yet
has escaped any appreclable effects
from the coal strike. a prolongation
of the present curtailment of the coun-
trys basic fuel output, however, is
bound to be expressed in an ascending
scale. The Conne1lsville coke and coke
region, the key point of supply for 6
large fraction of the blast furnaces OF
the country, is nonunion, and produc-
ton this week Is greater than usual
a number of idle ovens. in fact have
been lighted.
By-produet coke plants scattered
throughout the industry are reason
ably well stocked with coal, sufficient
in most cases, for a month or more of
operation. AS contributing factors the
steel strike, now in its last stage, and
the walkout of coal miners at this time,
at least promises to be slight. Tho
loss of production recently sustained
by mills and furnaces, however, ypn-
tinues to exert pronounced market
influence. Early supplies of finished
steel are almost unobtainable and
premium prices are general
Something approaching a famine con-
dition obtains in pig iron for spot de-
livery. Buyers are willing to pay al
most any price asked for the exceeding
ly scant supply available and small
sales at fancy figures are being made
in various districts. Pig iron produce

Ing been severely reduced by the strike
