 The technical position of the market is believed to be infinitely sounder for the severe depreciation of quoted values, while bank loans to brokers are said to be smaller by at least $500, ,0O0, 900 than the aggregate of month ago.
 Money rates for virtually all forms of accommodations are quotably and actual .ly lower, but foremost banking interests are emphatically of the opinion that no prolonged change for the better can be expected until the future of commerce and industry becomes more clearly de- fined.
 Industrial conditions as outlined by latest surveys indicate further decrease of non-essential production, lower prices. reduced wages and a marked falling away of the country's export trade for which the existing situation Is held to be primarily responsible.
 With one exception the sale of $S.0 . 0c0 of Canadian Northern railway bondc. which found a ready market, the week brought no new capital offerings to in- vestors. A projected loan to Cuba is hanging fire and other foreign credits, mainly European. are likely to remain in abeyance until the turn into the new year.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'S Letter

New York. November 2.-(Special.)- Heavy selling from the south and Liver pool caused another sharp decline in the market this morning However, after the market reached the 1424c level, there was sufficient short covering and buying of the distant positions, especially July, to steady the market While we can see nothing new in the general outside con ditions, nevertheless it must be renfeTn- bered that we have declined some Pc a pound in the last two days, and therefore the market is entitled to some reaction. We should not be surprised to see a somewhat better market temporarily the first of next week, although there is nothing new in the situation which would warrant buying cotton for a long pull Hubbard Bros. & Go.

EXPORTS Of WHEAT
 AND COVERING BY
 SHORTS IN GRAIN PIT
Reports That British Were Buying Canadian Products BoIstered Up the Chicago
 Board of Trade
Rx Assneiatsd Press

Chicago, November 27.--Heavy exports Of wheat and extensive covering by shorts in corn and oats combined to strengthen the grain market today on the Chicago board of trade. Reports that British in- to Canadian wheat and flour because of the condition of the sterling exchange on the United Statese, thus cutting off Canadian supplies for this country, was also factor. When the shorts started to cover an oversold condition was dis closed in all grains.
 In the final hour wheat prices reacted on heavy offerings by Chicago interests, but when the decline reached 2 cents from the top, buying power broadened and net gains of 2k to 3A cents were reg istered. December wheat closed at s1 551s@0l 55N and March at s1.el14@1. .5i14. The export situation held attention from the start. Early reports raised to 10,OO0.- 600 bushels the total foreign purchases of wheat this week. the gulf outlets being credited with 100000 bushels of this Italy, Spain and Portugal were given as the principal buyers. At one stage there was an intimation that British interests were buying under cover, but this was discounted by what pur- ported to be official figures showing large wheat and flour stocks in Great Britain and reduction of flour prices there as a result. Seaboard houses were steady buyers of December, their object beoing to remove hedges against sales.
 Corn showed net advances of Is to 1h cents, and oats around half cent Gov ering by shorts which had been carried or rather quietly for several days be- came more open when foreign buying dominated wheat and prices nj coarse grains were on the upgrade practically throughout the session. Country offer ings were not as large as had been ex- pected, and it was announced that shipments for the week exceeded receipts by 5000. Further advances in hogs en- hanced provision prices, but trading was dull. The bulk of the transactions were in lard.

Lecture Course Opens

The first number of the Woman's Club
Lecture Course occurred Friday evening,
when goodsized audience. assembled at
the Town Hall to greet the Rondoliers, a
musical organization made up of three
young women and two young men, who
gave miscellaneous program of vocal and
instrumental numbers. While some of the
audience might have liked the program to
have included some of the familiar SINH
classical selections, as well as popular mu-
sic and novelties, the entertainment was
put over with snap ard precision, and the
performers were all good to look upon.
Perhaps the most enjoyable numb of the
evening, from an asthetic standpoint, was
the cornet t. ombone and piano trio, Moth
er Macree." Certainly the most amusing
was the musical recital of the sad story Of
Mary and Her Chewing Gum, by
mixed quartette with piano accompani-
ment. and appropriate gestures.
The young people seemed to be extreme
ly versatile, performing on the trombone,
saxophone, cornet or piano interchange
ably, and all of them possessed of pleasing
voices.
