COTTON FUTURES
CONTINUE RALLY
Market Shows Considerable
Irregularity During All
Of Session.

Cotton futures continued their rally
ing movement yesterday, selling about
81 a bale net higher at one time in the
afternoon on support from Liverpool,
Wall Street shorts and spot houses.
The market showed not little ilregu-
larity throughout the session. After
exhibiting a strong undertone rust
after its opening, a midday reaction
carried prices back TO within a few
points Of Tuesdays finals before enough
new buying appeared. The general
market situation was unchanged. The
direct cause of the early rise was prob
ably the late strength in Liverpool and
more reassuring advices from the South.
The market was firm to strong at the
outset and % to AZ points net higher.
Trade was fairly active In the first
hour, and after a brief display OF un-
certainty following the call the market
higher. scoring a gain of more
than u cent a pound. Liverpool was
probably the heaviest taker OF contracts
early in the session. but scattered in
vestment demand from outsiders was
also present. The weekly weather re-
port was not an important factor. II
mentioned that considerable low grade
cotton had been abandoned in Western
States in the belt The crop was vir-
tually all picked in the Eastern belt,
said the report
A good deal of Wall Street buying
was in evidence during the last hour,
sentiment probably being affected by
the late betterment in the securities
market. There was a marked absence
Of offerings, IL being evident that SELL
ers were acting with more than usual
caution. Rumors Of resumption of trade
with Russia and the days heavy ex-
port clearances were bullish factors, ex-
ports being around 100000 bales. Lo-
cal shorts and early sellers covered
freely near the finish. which was
around the best level, 81 to 70 points
net higher. Local spot was UP SIS points
to 1886.

WHEAT STRONG ON
EXPORT DEMANDS
Prices Are Higher at Close
and Other Commodities
Gain in Chicago.

CHICAGO, Dec. Brisk export de-
snand and crop damage advices from Ar
sentina had a decided bullish influence
on to-day's wheat market Prices closed
strong cents TO "a cents ne. higher,
with December at s1.62@S162h and
March at S1.55 y @1.5e. Corn gained a
cent to 2% cents; oats. 4 cent and *
cent 70 cent, and provisions 80 cents TO
so cents.
Severe storms in Argentina put the
wheat bears at a disadvantage at the
outset. especially as word OF excessive
rain In Australia haG led to more or less
apprehension that new supplies from the
southern hemisphere might not be forth
coming to such a plentiful extent as
some of late apparently assumed wou d
he the case. Eagcrness of export in
tcrests meanwhile to acquire wheat in
the United States was seemingly indi-
Gated by an advance in bids and by the
fact that as. 900 bushels were announced
as having been cleared from New York
FOR Russian Black Sea destination
According to one authority, should ex-
ports from the Unitcd States continue on
a scale approaching those OF the last
tour months domestic buyers might find
themselves confronted with stringcncy
before another crop should be raised
Talk that domestic stocks of wheat IN
country elevators of the surplus nroduc-
ing States are low was current also.
Corn and oats were helped upward

c. O. P. PRIZE WINNER
TURNS TO GOVERNOR COX

WASHINGTON, I oct 29.-car,
Smith Joslyn. the Harvard undergrad
uate who won the $4,000 prize offered
by the republican national committee
last spring for the best suggestion for
platform, has repudiated Senator
Harding and will vote for Governor
Cox. In telegram to the democratic
national committee today. he stated
his reason for quitting the party that
accepted his suggestions.
Il regard the League Of Nations as
the supreme issue of the campaign"
said he. Senator Harding has ste
ceeded in so far as making himself
clearly understood as rejecting utterly
the League Of Nations as It now stands
or as modified by any Of the reserva-
tions so far proposed. 1t is not inter-
probation but rejection that he is seek
ing. AT no time during the campaign
has he intimated in any OF his public
utterances that he would II America
so desired, endeavor to bring about
the ratification of the covenant With
reservations proposed In the senate.
Indeed all his promises have just the
opposite intention. He has approved
the stand taken by those who are bent
on the destruction not only OF the ex-
sting league but of any association Of
nations which would at all be effee-
tive in preserving the peace Of the
world"
