Redemption of Anglo-French Loan Today Was Again a Factor of Primary
 lmportanC
By Associated Press

New York, October H-Confiictfng ete- ments of domestic and foreign origin combined to bring about further irregu- today, although firm to strong tone ruled at the fairly active finish.
 Redemption tomorrow of the Anglo French $500, 600 loan was again fac tor of primary importance in the money market. Call loans established the high est initial rate of many weeks at per cent, subsequently, repeating yesterday s performance by closing at 10 per cent
 This was not the only drain on local resources, however, banks and other financial institutions sending large addi- tional sums of money to Cuba. where the moratorium seems to have reduced virtually all business to a cash basis.
 Cables from London announcing the decision of the Coal Miners Federation to strike occasioned some selling for for eign account. British exchange eased only slightly, however, and the Bank or Englands weekly statement showed strengthening of it's liability reserves.
 Latest domestic advices pointed anew to further readjustment in the more i'm portant branches of industry. such as the steel and textile trades On the other hand proof of sound investment position was once more afforded by the success which attended the Sears-Roe- buck $50,o0O00O note issue.
 Rails and oils comprised the more un- certain features of the session, steeis, equipments and motors representing the stronger issues. Net gains of l to ronts were made by Bethlehem Steel, Baldwin Locomotive, Studebaker, Retail Stores, Mexican Petroleum and Nickel plate.
 The bond market was comparatively dull on reduced dealings Domestic is- sues, including Liberty Bonds, were slightly easier and internaionais were irregular.
 Total sales. par value. $14,375000.
 Old United States bonds were un- changed on cali.

New Orleans Cotton By Associatetl press

New Orleans. October 14.-Fear of bad weather in the belt was the strongest factor in the trading In cot ton today and it put prices to wide ad- vances after values had been depressed in the early trading by poor cables and very pessimistic accounts of the way things were going In connection with the threatened British coal strike These early declines, at their lowest, amounted to 23 to 31 points. but when the shorts started covering on the weather outlook. the declines were re- covered and the market forced to net advances which finally amounted to 5S to "A points. December fell to 19.23c and reacted to 2o.26c The close on De- cember was at 19.90c, with the list showing net gains for the day of 23 to 4S points.
 While the weather map was favor able enough. the belt being dry and warm, the low barometer to the wes; and north was regarded very unfav- orably and this opinion was confirmed by the official predictions of unsettled to rainy weather for the western and central divisions of the belt. Heavist covering by shorts followed the post ing of the official predictions.
 After midseason early buyers were inclined to realize profits causing moderate sags, but toward the end the tone was steadier on the large exports, 45,3s3 bales against 2S,334 this day last year.

HEAVY SELLING OF WHEAT AND CORN SEND PRICES
 DOWNWARD IN THE PIT
By Associated Press

Chicago. October 14.--Grain prices av- eraged lower today. influenced by heavy selling of wheat and corn on the part of a leading eastern trader Wheat closed nervous at 1ls cents to 2ts cent ne decline. with December s2.07% to s2.oS and March s2os to 2.o3% Corn finished $ cents off to 21s cents up; and oats down F cent to %&% cents. The outcome in provisions was rise, varyinA from 5 cents to G cents
 Acceptance of bearish views in regard to the government report about farm reserves had a depressing effect on wheat values at the outset, but indications that some export business was impending, led to a quick upturn. Then came wave of selling orders from the east and throughout the remainder of the session the buying side was at A disadvantage. although bulls contended that this country has only small amount of wheat left to be sold If the duanti ies already contracted, for are taker fi-o consideration. Receipts were small and reports on country offerings conflicting
 Corn and oats were governed mainly by the action of wheat The chief ex- ception was that October delivery of corn was bid up sharply with little off, fered from rural holders

PRICE MOVEMENTS
 WERE OE VIOLENT
 NATURE YESTERDAY
Threatening British Strike, Cold Weather and Renewed Hedge Selling Were Cot
 ton Market Features
By Associated prsss


 New York, October l4.-There were vie. lent price movements in the cotton mar. ket today. After an early break which established new low records, with De. cember contracts selling at 2Oc. there was a rally of about 1c a pound from the low est, but the market broke again. selling off to 2o50c for December and closing at 70 55c for that position. October was rel atively weak, closing at % 66c with o+he- months showing net advances of 6 to % points. The market opened easy at a decline of s5 tc 60 points owing to weak Liverpool cables, the more threatening position of British coal miners, continued good weather in the south and renewed hedge selling. The latter was much less active than recently, however, while the price of 2oc for December seemed to at tract an active demand which included investment and trade buying as well as heavy profit-taking on sshort contracts Prices rallied in consequence and, the aovance seemed to be stimulated bv re- ports that the federal reserve board was considering measures for making credits more easily available to farmers while the smaller volume of hedge selling sug- gested that holding was becoming more general in the south
 october was slow to follow the advance but sold up to q soc, or 15 points net high CT. while January touched 20. sc. making a net advance of 65 to 72 points on De- cember and later months. The demand then slackened, and the market weakened again during the afternoon under re- newal of hedge selling and Washington reports that Secretary Houston had re- fused to revive the war finance corpora tion for the purpose of financing cotton exports, and had also said the treas- ury had no money to lend interests who wanted to hold their products for higher prices.
