New York, November ff.-Liverpool was

ket opening about unchanged from last
nights closing prices. Values eased on
further liquidation of cotton carried over
the recent decline. Near positions were
easier on the theory that these positions
might be iquidated in face of the pres
ent high money rate. The market is grad
ually recovering its equilibrium after the
shock of the past few days. Consumption
figures were larger than expected and
many feel that it may be some little time
before the effect of the restriction in loans
in New York begins to be felt through
the country On the other hand a good
deal If cotton is offered on any advance.
and It is felt that more will be for sale
on any recoveries. Considerable interest
was created in an article in local news
paper to the effect that the federal bank
intended to investigate the advances mads
on cotton.-Hubhsrd Bros. &Co.

S. R., Stewart & Co.'S Letter

New Orleans, November 14.-Iiverpooi
made better response than due this
morning, which added to the bullish con-
sumption report for October, and reports
of killing frost caused a higher open
ing of our market, but selling was
prompted by ffsetting news and became
aggressive on bulges, with the result
that the market broke 80 points during
the first hour The market developed into
more two sioeo affair in opinion ana
action and there were rallies and reac-
ton, but with continued support inter-
rupted the market worked to lower prices
According to the New York Herald the
federal reserve board is to turn its at
tention to speculative holdings of SPOT
cotton throughout the south, saying hun
dreds of millions of dollars are tied up to
hold three or four million bales of COT
ton and that the board is considering
giving orders to member banks not to
renew 9o-day acceptances and thus force
, holders to unload.
Exports for the week were FOG, 900 bales,
against 1900 last year, and the October
consumption was $4,000 bales, against
440, o. last year.
The rainfall drought Texas during Oc-
tober is reported as five inches more than
normal.
What advance we had today was on
covering by shorts and by purchases by
trade interests.
The into-sight movement for the week
is 5SS,UO bales, against $4,000 last year,
but a larger percentage of this amount
has moved into consumption points than
last year.
The week closes with the advantage
with the reactionaries and weekend COW
ering may advance prices.-Jno. f. Clark

BY Associated Press

Chicago. November 14.-Enlarged re-
cefpts together with prospects of a ma
terial further increase of the crop
movement had a bearish effect today on
the corn market. Prices closed unset
tied at IA to "a net lower with
December $1.S0A to S1.30ss and May
$1,24B to s1.25. Oats lost u to y. The
The finish in provisions varied from
soc decline to 10c advance
Although at. first the corn market
showed considerable strength, the bulls
were soon at a disadvantage, and dur
ing the remainder of the session the
tendency of values was in general down
grade The temporary upturn at the
opening seemed due to advances in
the New York stock market and to
higher quotations on hogs. But there
was lack of aggressive buying and
1t was not long before a majority of
traders swung around to the opinion
that the more liberal arrivals today
pointed to a still heavier expansion of
supplies in the immediate future. To-
ward the last bearish sentiment became
pronounced owing more or less to re.
ports that the railroads were furnish
ing cars with greater freedom than has
recently been the rule.
Oats followed corn, advancing early
only te weaken later.
! New England offers to resell had a
depressing influence
PROVISIONS were governed chiefly by
the action of grim.

w. E. Campbell & Co.'S Cotton Letter

Thus from childhood's early days have
we seen our fondest hopes decay" This
can readily be applied to the over anxious
bull Oar market opened strong, but as
we warned our friends yesterday, the
technical position was greatly weakened
by the sharp rally we had on the close.
The market was at no time during the
day strong. on the other hand it was a
plain case of get me out quietly, without
forcing prices
We fully appreciate the position of the
boys caught long of this market and 1t
looks to us as if the running will be bad
for the bull for some time to come.
We could go into the statistical position
of the market with a long line of grief,
but the best tip we can hand out is to
sell it on all hard spots until the financial
and the technical conditions readjust
themselves.
A higher opening with lower market
tomorrow is our feeble guess.-W. Il.

Why Farmers Buy Motor Trucks.
"A striking example of why farm
ers and the big commission men IN
the food-producing states are buying
motor trucks is an analysis OF the
recent government report on the corn
CROP" says a western motor car manu-
facturer.
This report shows a total produc-
tion of $50, 900, 900 bushels of corn,
an increase of 327 100000 bushels, OF
13 per cent, over last year, and 1S1,-
600, 600 bushels, or 6 per cent above
the 1887 average. Compare this
record with the freight car situation.
While Indications are for a better car
supply from now on. officials OF the
railroad administration are not look
ing for big surplus at any time. In
fact, the car situation in the east Is
very tight.
'When you consider that every 9TH
er crop indicates record production,
you can see that the purchase of mo-
tor trucks to insure transportation to
the elevators, warehouses or shipping
points, is good business"
