Break i'm Cotton
Below l8c Level
Starts New Buying g
Trade Demand Awakened by
Drop in Prices; Nothing
i'm News to Account for
Irregular Fluctuations

While trading was not generally
active there were irregular fuctua-
tions in the cotton market yesterday.
A break below the 18c level for Janu-
ary under continuation of the recent
selling movement seemed to bring IN
more trade buying. With the develop
ment of this demand recent Wall
Street sellers turned for cover and
from the lowest in the last hour, with
the market closing strong at net ad-
vance of to Is points. January sold
off from 1888 to 1885 and closed at
1927, compared with 1920 at the close
of the previous day; 1928, the high
price touched after the publication of
the ginning returns last week, and
1850, the low price reached on the de-
cline earlier last month.
No special news feature mentioned
as accounting for either the decline or
the recovery. In q general way the con-
tinuation of the recent selling movement
was probably promoted by complaints of
creasing pressure to sell spots particularly
in the Atlantics. and unsettled conditions
abroad, including the Irish question.
The next ginning report of the Census
Bureau giving the outturn up to Novem-
Der will be issued next Wednesday.
There were reiterated predictions yester
day that TINS report would snow Sucn q

gins as would practically eliminate crop

seems to have lost it's power to stimulate

Wheat Collapses

Sentiment Depressed by Re-
port That Worlds, Crop
Is Much Larger Than
Last Year; Corn Lower

CHICAGO, Nov. 1.-Wheat prices
collapsed to-day to new low price rec
ords for 1921. The break followed per-
sistent liquidation in market that was
without any robust support. There was
a nervous finish, SIS to &c net lower
with December $1.O2 to $1O2A and
May $1.o6b to s1.o7A Corn lost Ia
@17sc to 2@21ac, and oats 1 nc to &c
In provisions the outcome ranged from
tic decline to rise Of 21ac
Bearish sentiment which predorinated
from the outset in the wheat trade re-
Inmates cabled from British sources that
the worlds crop total $4,000, 900
bushels larger than year ago. Another
depressing factor was announcement that
stocks of grain. aloat in Buffalo Harbor,
would hereafter be included in the United
States visible supply figures.
No acute weakness however, developed
until midday, when attention was directed
to reports that congestion of railroad and
port facilities at Galveston had tied up
much grain, for which the country owners
were unable to get their money very rap
idly. Conditions at New Orleans were also
reported as embarrassing, with 200 cars
of grain on track there unloaded. Under
such circumstances holders here liqui-
dated freely, and in the final hour the
descent of values proved swift. Exporters
were said to have taken advantage of the
per 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 We're bearishly affected by
setbacks in hog values as well as In grain.

During the month OF June, the Ford

factories and % assembling plants
throughout the country reached the
production Of 10s,9G2 Ford cars and
trucks, setting up new high record
for the month.
Production OF Ford cars and trucks
has been steadily increasing since ear
ly spring, and shows substantial gains
over the same period last year. The
second quarter OF 1921, viz, April,
May and June, shows an output of
301. 100 Ford cars and trucks against
220S7s for the same three months OF
last year, or net gain OF S0,9ls.
Despite the fact. however, that the
Ford plants have been running at max

cars and trucks les not being met, and
at the presetn time, many thousands OF

manufacturing facilities rather than
