CoTFEE MARKET

 New York, November 1=Early ir- regularity was followed by renewed strength in the market for coffee fu- lures today with all the more active positions making new high ground Tor the movement. At the start there semed to be disposition to take profits on recent purchases owing to the extent of recent advices, and the opening was points higher to II points lower, with December soon selling off from 8. .55c to 8 soc. At this level. however, there was a re- appearance of the concentrated buy Ing which has been the feature of the past four or five days, and De- cember sold up to S.75c in the late , trading, or 21 points net higher. July rallied from 8 0Sc to S.30c, compared with S.19c at the close of the pre- vious day, and the market closed at net advance of to 21 points. No fresh news factor was mentioned in connection with the advance. but the strength of the near month is believed to be bringing about a read Justment of contract values to the basis of costs of replacing local stocks by purchases in Brazil. Sales for the day were estimated at about l03.000 bags. December, S.70c; Janu- ary S.55c; March. .33c; May, s .23c; July soc; September, s.25c.

COLLAPSE IN WHEAT QUOTATIONS ID THE LOWEST FOR YEAR
Corn and Oats Go Down With Wheat, While Provi- sionS List Goes Up
 and Down
By Associated Press

Chicago, November Wheat prices collapsed today to new price records for 1921. The break followed persis- tent liquidation in a market that was without any robust support. There was a nervous finish, , Is to 6c lower. Corn lost 1% W17sc to 2@2ac and outcome ranged from f7c decline to rise of 215c.
 Bearish sentiment which predom- mated from the outset in the wheat trade received fresh impetus on ac- count of estimates cabled from Brit ish sources that the worlds crop to- tai was SS,000, 900 bushels larger than a year ago. Another depressing fac tor was announcement that stocks of grain afloat in Buffalo harbor would hereafter be included in the United States visible supply figures. No acute weakness however, developed until midday when attention was di- rected to reports that congestion of ton had tied up much grain for which the country owners were un- able to get their money very rapidly. Conditions at New Orleans were also reported as embarrassing with 1,200 cars of grain on track there unioaded. Under such circumstances, holders here liquidated freely, and in the fi- nal hour the descent of values proved swift. Exporters were said to have taken advantage of the cent drop which occurred. but the market made no important rally. and the amount of purchasing for Europe could only be guessed.
 Corn and oats went down grade with wheat. Oats reached the lowest level yet this season, and corn nearly so
 Provisions were bearishly affected by setbacks in hog values as well as in grain.

HuBBARD's LETTER

New York. November 1.-(Special) Liverpool again showed strength this morning on the lack of free offer ings from the south. Our market met little hedge selling on the opening and remained quiet and steady up until the early afternoon when fresh liquidation made its appearance caus- Ing a decline to below 19 cents for January.
 Trade interests were fair buyers on the decline but the general feel ing Is now quite bearish on the idea that the world will not pay these prices for cotton goods. We may have a somewhat further reaction but believe that no decline at the present time can be permanent as we doubt if the south will generally give way.-Hubbard Bros. & Co.,

Lack of Pep Is Shown
 Ouer PriUate Wires
SHANNON & CO.'S LETTER

New York, November 1.-(Special) Prices have dragged lower today in cotton under continued pressure. with little support except for occasional covering by smaller scattered shorts desiring to secure profits.
 Interest now centers in possible developments in the spot situation as result.of the decline and whether pressure will make its appearance from that quarter through holders becoming discouraged. It is gener- ally held that while demand of late has been slack. offerings have been very limited and the course of prices in the immediate future Is consid- cred to depend chiefly on whether increased offerings or increased de- mand makes it's appearance first with the opinion expressed that if holders can maintain their ground for two or three weeks consumers will be forced to enter the market again for fresh supplies as purchases through August and September were not more than enough to carry them up to the first of the year.
 Though prices do not as yet reflect it, we believe the fundamentals are bullish and the technical position such as to make short selling very hazardous.
 The stock market started to react on Friday and should have rallied today. but it is simply holding steady and Wall street is very confused as to how to analyze the situation. The selling yesterday was aggressive and It was unquestionably by the old bear crowd so that the market is in stronger position and rally would seem. likely at any time.
 Money is working moderately easy, but we will probably not have fairly easy money until after the turn of the year and the banks apparently do not want to have too low rates at present. There has been very. little news today. and we have lapsed into drifting condition, but as we have said above, with the technical posi- ton strengthening, rather than weakening, all the time. Total sales, 659,00O shares.-Post & Flagg.
 s. R. STEWART & co.
 Birmingham November 1.-While the New Orleans market was closed today account O. holiday in Louisi- ana, New York ruled quiet and mar row with a downward tendency, the bears of yesterday apparently re- maining in control. Liverpool was also quiet spots there were un- changed with sales at 5000, an in- crease of 1000 over yesterday, quota tions were slightly lower than due with little trading reported. De- mand having fell flat in the south ern markets recently seems to have taken it's natural course in bringing about any characteristic buying.
 Whatever the size of the cotton crop might be too much of it is pressing just now on a narrow and sensitive market. The daily crop movement is large, the buying in speculative and spot markets as a rule is small and it is not enough to cope with the present movement.
 Not only western and southern hedge selling but also that of the locals and Liverpool interests dealt prices heavy blows in the past few days. With good news from almost any source we should see sharp advance in prices from this level.- S. R. Stewart & Co.,
