Weekly Cotton Review
By Associated Press

New York, October s.-The cotton market here broke into new low ground for the season immediately aft CT the publication of the government crop report on Monday, but met an in creased demand at the lower prices and showed substantial rallies later The official condition and crop figures were quite in line with most of the private reports previously issued. There had been enough uncertainty as to the showing, however, to check selling and promote covering and the appearanco or the report proved the signal for d renewal of pressure or reselling by bears who had taken profits on pre- vious declines. This carried the price Of December contracts off to 2O5Oc while May broke to the zoe level-fig- ures which seemed to attract soma speculative or, investment support. Such buying came chiefly from Wall street sources and was supposed to rep- resent belief that commodity values as a general proposition. had sold low enough to discount bearish features and that buying for consumption coull not be much longer delayed. The ral- lies which followed met southern hedge selling and were not fully sustained although adviceS received here from siiC SOHNh Stettu NiiiI lOIulUB ndQ De- come more general and that there has been some improvement in spot de mand. The latter was attributed l, buying to fill October shipments. and the business has resulted in some buy ing to cover short hedges around the local ring.

New Orleans Cotton Ry AssneiufaI prcsx

New Orleans, October Slower prices ruleds in cotton today, the market meet ing persistent selling. some of which plainly came from the long side, but much of which was due to continued good weather over the belt and to reports of further spreading of the short time movement among cotton mills, both at home and abroad The opening was lower under the influence of poor cables and the decline was widened until in the late trading prices stood 27 to 63 points under the finals of yesterday There were many small upturns but they were not sustained. Last prices were at net losses for the day of 20 to 45 points.
 The weather was dry in all sections of the belt and the forecast called for continued fair weather. For awhile the weather disturbance reported yesterday evening over the Bahama Islands looked like a bullish factor to some traders and some long cotton was taken on in the early trading on this belief but it was thrown overheard late in the session when further advices made it plain that the storm was moving northeast over the Atlantic ocean and away from the belt.
 The trade read with interest reports that ginning was slowing down because of the agitation against it, while prices are depressed but smaller ginning was hardly looked upon as a market in- fluence.

WHEAT HEADED DOWN AGAIN IN YESTERDAYS
 GRAIN PIT TRADING
By Associated Press

Chicago, October S.-Wheat went sharp ly lower in price today, with pressure heavy from the big Canadian surplus. and with reports conflicting as to domes- tic offerings. The market closed unset tied at 41kc to 5%c net decline, with De- ccmber s1.9S1z to SEA. and March $1 9oA to sl.91.
 Corn lost 12ic to 41ac, and oats Sc to Bc. In provisions the outcome ranged from 35c set back to 27c advance.
 Bears had the advantage in the wheat market throughout the day, especially in late dealings. when it appeared free of- ferings from Canada were finding an out let here at other domestic centers.
 Gossip current in the first part of the session that rural owners were letting go of their holdings did not seem to be much, if at all, borne out by subsequent, aGvices.
 Corn and oats gave way with wheat, December corn reaching the lowest price yet this season.
 Although advancing at first owing to an upturn in the hog market, provisions later were weakened by the action of grain.
