Shannon & Co.'S Letter

New York, October 10.-In spite of high money the market has had real bullish tone today. Everything has gone up with United States Steel the leader. This stock Is away below the market, and in spite of the very coservative dividend att titude adopted by the directors it would seem to be the greatest bargain in the market, and we venture to state that if the other industrials are worth the prices for which they are selling, United States Steel is worth 800 a share. It looks as if they were going to surely win their great contest with the labor unions, which will be of tremendous advantage to this company, and the effect of this victory should last for years.
 The buying in steel has been very good today, and we think it has turned per manently towards much higher prices. We hope Shat before long the railroads will comn) )ence to have their turn, as the so- lutioh of this complex problem cannot be long delayed now It would seem in- credible that our other industries should prosper greatly and that the great trans portation industry should be left to stag ger along in it's present unsatisfactory condition The market has been broad and good throughout ana closes with a good ton. Total sales. 7oo,ooo-Post & Flagg

COLD WAVE IN CORN BELT IS CAUSE OF FIRST HUSK|NG BEES
Oats and Corn Both Took a Dip, While Provisions Were 25c Off to

Chicago, October 1o-Opinions that huskfDg would be stimulated by the cold wave now on the way eastward forced the corn market lower today despite preva-

 ranged from 25c setback to a rise of s1. Continued rains here and misgivings that as a result the movement of corn from first hands would be interfered with

 took the position that freezing tempera-

COTTON MARKET IRREGULAR AND
 WATCHING FROST
General List Closed Barely Steady at an Advance of 20 to 5 Points on
 the Day
By Assocfated Pres

New York, October 10-The cotton market showed continued irregularity today. The official forecast for frost in norteern sections of the western belt led to further covering and fresh buy ing, but there was evidently disposi- ton to take profits on long contracts for over the approaching two day ad- journment and after selling at 33.30. December eased off, closing at 3305. The general list closed barely steady at an advance of 20 to 55 points. The market opened first at an advance of 29 to 40 points owing to relatively steady cables, the unfavorable weather map and bullish overnight spot ad- vices There was some irregularity during the first few minutes but after selling at 32.70 for october and 32.e0 for January the market turned firmer on the frost predictions with October selling up to 33.10 and January to 33.4o during the middle of the day of about 60 to 70 points net higher on the more active positions. Realizing showed a tendency to increase as rrices ap- preached the high levels of yesterday morning, however, and the market was unsettled later in the day, although no special change was noted in the news from the south. The close showed re- actions of about 25 or 30 points from the best Local may readers predicted that the cold wave indicated for the western belt would reach northern sec tions of the eastern belt tonight or tomorrow and a good deal of commits sIn house buying was reported on the decline Old longs, however, were evi- dently more disposed to take profits on the frost predictions than to wait for the effects of the cold wave and there was also a good deal of hedge selling. presumably against spot purchases In the south.

New Orleans Cotton

New Orleans, October 1o.--While higher prices resulted in cotton today | from the continued strength of the spot situation and prospects of damaging cold weather in the western belt, it was apparent that the market was being held down by hedge selling and realizing operations Opening higher
 the improvement continued until the trading months were 60 to 62 points above the level of yesterdays close. As the market advanced, there were small reactions from time to time and in the afternoon the recessions were more pronounced The close was at net gains for the day of but 25 to 47 points. good demand for actual cotton was in evidence in this market and the in- terior reported more inquiry than offer ings.
 There was much talk of still wider premiums on the better grades as the result of a constantly increasing inquiry for them.
 1 Reports reaching here from the west ern belt during the day stated that the cold wave was being felt in many sec tions. Official predictions of frost and freezing weather for portions of Texas and Oklahoma and for generally much colder weather over the entire wetsern belt tonight were source of support to the market the session through.

lbULL|SH POOLS IN :. CONTROL OF STOCK LIST YESTERDAY United States Steel Made ? Gain of Two Points, Its
 Best Figures Since
 Strike
sy A...rus.s Pres.

New York, October 10.--Buu pools were in undsputed control of today's stock ,harket, tine broadest and most active session in several weeks, their further operations in miscellaneous issues being well supported by extensive buying of representative steels, coppers and rails.
 The demand for steels preceded the publication of United States Steel ton mage figures for September which showed an increase of about 175,ooo tons, and seemed, to have it's basis in favorable reports from mill centers.
 United States Steel made an extreme gain of points to 112A. it's best price since the inception of the strike and af- filiated shares, especially Harvester, Sloes-Sheffield, Crucible and Republic, were to points higher.
 The same considerations probably ae- counted for the length of steel and cleo trical equipments, where gains of to points were made by General Electric, Westinghouse, Pressed Steel Car, New York Airbrake and Baldwin Locomotive.
 Southern Pacific overshadowed the other rails, it's rise of BE points being accompanied by the heaviest transac- tions in many weeks. Other transporta- tions, notably St. Paul common and pre- ferred, Texas and Pacific and Reading gained l to IF points.
 lAll the prominent coppers were includ- td in the inquiry for metals, more stable trade conditions being attended by re- ports of foreign buying and another ad- vance in the quotation for the refined product.
 Shippings owed their irregular advance to the strength of Atlanta Gulf and United Fruit, but Tobacco and Food is sues manifested little Of their recent activity. Chandler led the motors, gain ing B points, kindred issues and their specialties rising 3 to F points. MeH can Petroleum featured the oils at the new high of 25oA.
 Bonds, excepting utilities, were steady to strong on diversified dealings. Total sales (par value) aggregated s12, 45O,0oo Old United States bonds unchanged on call.

tracts and a rally followed which car ried December to S3.55. There were conflicting currents of influences operating on prices today. The news that the longshoremen had suddenly put a demand in for increased pay with a possibility of tie-up of Gulf ports, was offset by the news from Ft. Worth reporting the weather at 34 degrees in Oklahoma, which would of course settle the crop in the section affected.
 With the continued good spot de-
 mand prices will hardly have much downward reaction.-Jno. F. Clark and Co

Clark & Co.'S Letter

New York, October l0.-Agaln the unusual steadiness of the foreign mar kets and the steadily improving basis for spots acted as a deterrent to bear sh activity. Spinuers now realize the disaster of the crop and are eager buy CTS on all breaks. Spots houses are very bullish and it looks like 40 cent cotton before Christmas. The policy of the south in selling sparingly is proving wonderfully effective in sus- taining prices.-Clark and Co.

Tbomason-parker & Co.'S Wire

New Orleans, October lU.-Cotton stood at moderate advances today as the result of continued favorable spot accounts and predictions of frost and freezing for portions of Oklahoma and north Texas tonight. There was much realizing from the long side as the market worked higher and this alone prevented the market from making wider gains. The opening was higher and the improvement continued until it amounted to 60 to 62 points. There were many recessions and late in the day prices were at advances of only about dollar a bale. The weather indicated that cold wave which recently formed in the northwest was entering the belt over north Texas and Oklaho- ma.
 The spot demand continues very strong for cotton with any character to it and large sales again were made in this market today while the interior reported holders firm and buyers anx- ious to take hold. Liverpool sold anoth- CT 15,o00 bales on the spot. With the strong spot situation and the cold weather it looks like a higher market with temporary reactions because Of the inclination to realize on the long side.
 The market closed at net gains or 95 to 47 points.--Shepard and Chuck
