WHEAT MARKET HAD RALLY ON A BETTER STRIKE SITUATION
Staple Closed Unsettled, While Oats and Corn Both Took a Dip-Provisions on
 a SeeSaW
By Associated Press

Chicago, October 27.-Predictions that the railroad strike would be averted did a good deal to rally the wheat market today. but the outlook later was uncertain and prices closed unsettled ss to 1 1sc net lower. Corn lost 1a to $ c and oats 5s to %c. In provisions the finish was unchanged to 5c higher.
 At the opening, wheat prices show ed a downward tendency owing to general commission house selling based largely on hedging pressure from the northwest, including Win nipeg. Assertions that Germany would be out of the market until spring counted. too, as a depressing factor and so likewise did bearish estimate of the Argentine crop. On the resulting decline. however, the market apparently became over sold. and made a sudden upturn when gos- sip circulated made the strike settle ment outlook seem more hopeful.
 Temporary fear that large amount of grain would be damaged treal had also a transient bullish effect. Then came word that no def mite results had been achieved in the meeting of railroad employees and that the Montreal fire was of minor character Heavy selling ensued, and was still In progress when the gong cleared the pit.

NEW ORLEANS COTTON Ky Associated Press

New Orleans, La, October 27.-- Early declines in the cotton market
 today did not persist as a favorable opinion of negotiations to smooth out the railroad labor troubles gained
 ground and pronounced firmness fea-
 tured the later part of the day. To- ward the close prices were put 45sto 47 points higher than the last prices or yesterday, and the close was very steady at net gains of 70 to 43 points December sold as high as 1S.75c a pound and closed at>1S.67c.
 The early declines were partly caused by a lower Liverpool than due and partly by the unfavorable inter pretation placed on overnight ac- counts concerning the rail strike sit- uation. On the decline shorts com menced to cover and this movement
 became pronounced little later. The
 rumor that the labor board was pre- pairing an order forbiddins the
 threatened strike caused some of the
 heaviest buying of the day so that
 before noon prices were 30 to 3s
 points over yesterdays close as com
 pared with declines of 16 to 24 points
 under yesterdays close soon after tn.
 opening, December at one time being down to 1S.05c.
 Moderate recessions from the high est came about early in the after
 noon hut In the last half hour of the session new strength was taken on and the list moved up to it's highest levels.

1-AyTON,S LETTER

Birmingham, October e7.-For the first time since bureau day, October 8. when December touched the high point. 2l95c, the marke today showed signs of returning confidence.
 Meanwhile. as everybody knows. prices declined over cents a pound within three weeks. The ginning re- port of two days ago thoroughly dis credited previous notions of a crop small as $500. 900, by plainly suggest ing one of 7,250.oo0 to 7,5oo.0oo. Now that tho ginning figures have had time to be digested, spinners. the world over, have apparently conclrc ed that yield of 7,500,000 baler added to the carry over of 4,750.o00 In farmers hands at the end of last season, furnish together only about enough supply to meet actual needs of mills for the twelve months with out allowing for any further restora- ton toward normal consumption. At any rate, the temper of the market Is today for the first time in three weeks decidedly optimistic
 Improved reports from the cotton goods markets. firm spot and se- curities markets and aggressive sup port from New York bulls led to ac- tive outside covering and a strong advance in the last hour of the close was fir mat net rise of 3S to 46 points. +. H. Layton.

Market News as the
 Priuate Wires Giue It
SHANNON X co,

New York. october 27.-(Special) The chief feature of the cotton mar ket has been its irregularity reflect ing the uncertain state of mind of traders and the ease with which sentiment Is affected by rumors of one sort or another. Today interest has centered largely in reports as to the progress of the negotiations at Chicago for settlement of, the threat ered railroad strike, and alternate waves of buying and selling have made their appearance according as reports on that subject have been favorable or otherwise.
 If ginning reports in the next 30 days or so confirm the shortness of the crop and stimulate further trade demand of more urgent nature that will follow advances, prices would, in our opinion, move up sharply enough to uncover some good sized stop or ders
 Wall street is waiting patiently for some announcement in regard to the threatened strike of the railway op- ei atives, and sentiment is about evenly divided as to whether q strike will take place or not. The devel- opments of late would seem to indi- cate that Washington is going to keep it's hands off and leave the mat ter to the railway labor wage board. It is hoped that this board will keep up it's courage and take firm stand.
 The market has been strong today, but not very active. excepting in Pacific oil, where concentrated buy ing has been accompanied by re- port that the Standard Oil company of California is going to take over the enormously valuable oil fields Of this company, making some sort or deal whereby they will use their plant, which Is a very complete one, for refining and distribution.
 This story is considered most like ly as It. is said that the oil fields of the Standard Oil company of Cali fornia are rapidly giving out. Pa cific oil has been the feature, but all the oil stocks have been strong and the whole list has acted well when one considers the active threat of a strike with which the country IS ccnfronted-Post& & Flagg.

Birmingham, October 27.-Liver- noo, sent over cables early this morn ing that were little lower than due. sales were light, there being only 7.ooo bales. no other particular cotton news from the foreign mark cts. Our market opened l5 to 2e down on the menacin.g strike situ- atjon. but at these levels met With good buying orders, steadied itself and ruled strong during the entire session, closing around 50 points above yesterday. The Journal or Commerce issued very unfavorable report on the Texas and Oklahoma crops, their reports showed an ex- ceedingly unfavorable state of af- fairs. in many sections of these big cotton states. claiming further de- terioration by either excessive rain fall or protracted drouth, ravages of weevils. army or cut worms as well as other forms of insect pests. Point ed out drastic reductions in the use of fertilizer last spring acting as a handicap to the crop from the start which not even ample cultivation war able to overcome and the result was undersized plants, poorly fruited and partlcularly suSceptipio to utseasV After the market having ruled steady from the opening shorts became ner- vous in the last hour and covered freely, thus helping the advance. While the strike situation continues to hang over the market we believe with any favorable news on the sub ject will send prices higher and con tinue to advise buying cotton, espe- ciall yon any material decline.-S.

HUBBARD's LETTER

New York, october 27.-(Special) After a slg ght decline, on the open ing following weaker cables from Liverpool, prices improved under the influence of large buying orders at tributed to western interests. whether or not this buying was ln- duced by opinions of more favor able character regarding the rail- road situation as a result of the con ferences now being held in Chicago Is difficult to say. but the feeling IS quite strong, even on the eve or the threatened strike that some way out of this disagreement which threaten: the entire industrial and agricultural prosperity of the country will De found before the strike actually takes place.

EARLY DECLINES IN COTTON WERE LATER
 OVERCOME FOR RISE
General Staple List Closed Firm at a Net Advance of 38 to 46 Points on
 the Day
By Associated Press

New York, october 27 Early de- clines in the cotton market were fol- lowed by sharp rallies today, with January deliveries selling up from 1S.40c to 19.o5c. and closing at 19.oac. The general market closed firm at a l net advance of 3S to 46 points. There was continuance of yester- days selling at the start, and after opening unchanged to g points lower, active months sold 12 to 19 points be- low last nights closing quotations under liquidation, local and southern offerings. The pressure was much less active after the heavy selling of yesterday however, and the market soon steadied on covering which seemed to be particularly active
 through brokers with Wall street and western connections.
 Reports of better spot demand in the south contributed to the ad- vance, while early pessmism over prospects for averting the railroad strike seemed to be followed by & much more hopeful view during the afternoon. At any rate. recent sellers showed a disposition to even up their commitments pending definite results from the Chicago conference and the IldTh0I SHOWeu luCTedSlnR dctlNlIy and strength In the late trading, when December advanced to 19.20c and March to 1s.eoc. or 42 to 50 points above last nights closing quotations The close was within 4 or points of the best.
 The early cables from Livepool were a little lower than due, but ac- cording to privat eadvices the feeling there was checked by trade buying to fix prices and Liverpool did better after the local opening. There were a number of telegrams from tine south reporting a better spot demand. and while comparatively little trade buy ing was reported around the ring the absence of southern hedge sell ing probably increased the dlsposi- tion to cover short commitments.
 Reports from the dry goods trade indicated that buyers who had been bidding below the market toward the close of last week had paid asking prices after the publication of the census report on Tuesday, with the result that considerable business had been done during the past two days. New Orleans sold some contracts here early, but bought in the later trading. r

 There were no changes in refined sugar, with fine granulated listed at 5 .20c to 5 ,30c. The demand contin- ues of fair proportions, but most of 1t Is for prompt shipment. which re- liners are unable to fill, as they are already behind on deliveries

Foreign Exchange Was Un- settled at the Opening and Made Little Progress
 Toward Recovery
By Associated Press

New York, October 27.-The further irregular or uncertain tone of the stock market today was primarily due to latest aspects of the railroad situation.
 At no time, however, did railway shares make more than nominal con- sessions and all reversals were can celled at midday, when shorts covered on the substantial buying of trans portation from interior points.
 Steels, equipments and many spe- cialties of no definite character also reflected intermittent pressure in the initial stages of the session. In nearly every instance material rallies were registered before the finish, re- gardlss of call moneys rise from bh to 6 per cent.
