Despite the fact that in order
to get more revenue our City
Fathers raised the assessments on
all property to the full one hun
bred per cent basis, in order
to meet the legitimate expenses,
those who have to meet this In
debtedness will pay $1.05 less on
each thousand of their assess
ment. The reason for this saving
is due to the fact that no taxes
will be collectible for the New
Iberia & Northern Railroad or the
Electric Light and Water Plant
in the future. Then again the
three mills that was paid towards
the Canal tax is reduced to one
and one-half mills. owing to the
raise in the assessment to one

Chicago october 3l.--Rainy weather
and consequent delay to husking and

in the corn market today. Closing
prices, though, were unsettled. rang

of &c, with December s1.2sB to $1.24A

from a setback of 15c to a rise of 81.
Atmospheric conditions likely to
hinder the movement of corn from the
among shorts who already had begun
to worry owing to excessive moisture
of late and as a result of the meagre-
ness of the supply of railroad cars and
of storage room. Aside from such fac
tors, bullish sentiment was added to
strength shown in other commodities
than grain and in the stock market as
we'll. Heavy profit taking sales, how
ever, made corn values sag somewhat
in the later dealings, especially the
May delivery as the general demand
at present is for December shipment.
Oats were helped upward by mes
sages telling of export sales of 100000
bushels in the last two days at New

Packers were buyers of lard, pre-
sumably against export sales for de-
ferred shipment This circumstance, to-
gether with the upward slant of grain

GOVERNMENT CROP
REPORT SEEMED To
D|SAPPO|NT BUYERS
General List Closed Very
Steady at a Net Gain of
8 to &c Points Over
Previous Close
BY Associated Press

New York, October 31.-The extra gov
eminent crop report making the con-
dition 51.1 against 54.4 at the end of Sep
TENDER seemed a disappointment to re-
cent buyers in the cotton market to-
day.
AT any rate there was heavy liquida-
ton and early advances were followed
by a sharp break with January selling
off from 36.22c to 3550c or ~ points
from the best and IS points net lower.
There were rallies later on trade buy
ing and covering, however, with January
closing at $500 and with the general
list closing very steady at net gain
of s to 66 points.
The market opened steady at decline
of points on July, but generally 4 to
80 points higher on the unfavorable
weather map continued bullish trade ac-
counts and steady cable.
There was probably some disappoint-
ment over the absence of anything to
confirm yesterdays late rumors that the
coal strike had been declared off, but
buying was stimulated by prospects for
frost with freezing temperatures in
northern parts of the western belt. and
prices soon sold 80 to so points above last
nights closing figures
At 36.SSc for December and $3.50 for
March the advance was checked by a
renewal of near month liquidation and
the selling became more active and ur-
gent right after the publication of the
government report which was taken as
indicating that October rainfall had been
more detrimental to the grade than the
size of the crop.
December broke to Sc. l5c and March to
g. csc, or about u to "a points net lower,
but there was good buying on a scale
down and reports that the government
had secured an injunction against the
coal strike helped the tone of the after
noon market.

New York Futures
New Orleans Cotton


New Orleans, October Silt was an ir-
regular market in cotton today. owing
to switching and straddle trading be-
tween the near and the distant months,
on large scale The near months We're
under selling pressure, while the distant
months felt buying pressure.
The wide discounts, which have been
quoted on the late months, finally proved
verv attractive to the long side and many
holders of long contracts in the near OPP
tions sold out and bought the discounts
on the far months. The government re-
port on condition on October Is of ell
per cent of a normal was not as low as
expected, but it caused only momentary
declines of half cent pound, after
which the market recovered fairly well.
Last prices were 8 points higher to 10
points lower than the final quotations of
yesterday.
In the early trading, switching opera
lions were the main feature. Around
the opening prices were to 13 points off
on the most active months, but bad
weather created a demand on which the
market rose to net gains of II to As
points. At the time of the government
report II o'clock the most active months
did not show much net change. January
dropped 80 points when the figures were
read to the ring, but selling pressure was
not sustained, the news of the injunction
against the coal strike proving a sup
porting influence.
