New York, Oct. 25-While there
were setbacks at times. the cot
ton market today ruled generally
strong and sold into new high
ground for the movement Nearby
positions were most in favor, and
late in the day they jumped sharp
ly on an active demand from spot
concerns and active covering by
spectators. December moved up to
1922, or a net gain of 157 points.
Reactions of 20 or 80 points fol-
lowed the initial advance, but the
market became firmer again.
The market opened 10 to a. points
higher. December moved up to 2l.45
and January to Pills. or about 60,

ly in the afternoon the market
sagged again under selling by New

HEAVY TONE TO
GRAIN MARKET
Wheat Says in Spite of British Coal
Strike News and Good Ex-
port Demand.

Chicago, Oct. 25.-The grain mar
ket exhibited a heavy tone today,
and there was lack of support on
the buying side. Wheat was given
some support, but at the close went
Ac to Ac lower. Corn was up hc
to Ike, and oats was hc to &c
lower.
Traders believed at the close that
business in wheat exceeded the
amount reported. The market
started out higher but later sagged.
A report that the British coal
strike had been settled and the re-
port of good export demand for
wheat were dominating factors in
the market.
Trading in corn was light, the
market following the trend of
wheat most of the day. Liverpool
spot corn was lower, but an ad-
vance of 1c was reported from
Buenos Aires.
Oats displayed a steady under
tone. but trade was light and there
was lack of leadership. Sentiment
still leans toward the bear side,
The country is selling little oats.

ley was unchanged to &c higher.

MONEY.

New York, Oct. Elm the time
market today the usual dullness
prevailed, and rates were normal at
s per cent. Call money was in good
demand and very limited supply at
s per cent renewal figure.
Leading bankers expressed the
opinion that conditions in the light
of last Saturdays actual bank
statement indicated continued firm
ness. One material influence on
the money market is the demand
occasioned by the turnover in in
vestment securities pending their
absorption.
Toward the end of this week prep
arations will have to be made for
the November l interest and divi-
dend disbursements, but these are
not ordinarily considerable COM

about on a parity with the first sale

NEW RECORD In COAL OUTPUT

According to the report of the
Geological Survey, the production of
bituminous coal for the week end
ing October Is was 1885, 900 net
tons, an increase of $4,000 tons over
the preceding week. With one ex-
ception this is the greatest produc-
tion for any week since the signing
of the armistice. The Geological
Survey points out that 1915, 900
tons is large weekly production
that will be appreciated from the
fact that except for the period of
maximum activity in the summer of
the war year of 1918. 1t has been
surpassed but twice during the time
from which records of weekly out
