Dissolution of the Cotton Trading AS

OF the New York Cotton Exchange from
financial ruin when the outbreak Of
the war caused a sensational drop I'm
cotton, was approved yesterday In a
report submitted to Supreme Court JUS
tice Donnelly by Charles NJ sRussell

poration asked for the dissolution last
May. stating that the associations work
as reliever of business distress was vir-
tually ended, and that Il 'ocked suf-
flcient capital to continue in any other
line.
An affidavit OF Elwood p. McEnany

the corporations operations showed

others was only a few dollars. The
association, on capital of $500. bor-
rowed nearly 100000 on its notes and

All the Exchange traders agreed that
a certain sum on all transactions there
after entered on the Exchange would
be paid to the association. and II was
through that revenue that the associa-

WHEAT UP ON HOPES
OF AYERTING STRIKE
Spectators Heavy Buyers
Shorts Run to Cover; Pack
ers Hoard Provisions.

Chicago. Oct. 21.-Wheat prices took
decided upward swing to-day. influ-
enced more or less by belief in various
quarters that the President and his
Cabinet would find a solution for this
threatened railroad strike The market
closed strong at 31s to 4i3c. higher with
December $1.0S to sl.0S Ia and May s1.1a
Ia 10 si.12hs. Corn gained " to 7-Sc.,
ended unchanged TO IS cents higher.
Notwithstanding the breakup of the
railroad parley here, prices. for wheat
had an upward impetus throughout the
day. Spectators led the buying. AMI
offerings were so readily absorbed that
shorts hurried to cover and thus aided
the advance. Word that Europe hal
taken 100000 bushels of durum and
Manitobas counted too as bullish fac-
ter and so did general recognition that
Tor several days the market had been
acting as IL oversold. Improved demand
for flour tended further to help the
advance.
Definite announcement of the calling
of n new conference here to deal with
the railroad strike strike situation was
made just after the days trading had
be en- ended.
Corn and oats reflected the strength
of wheat. Rural offerings were small.
Provisions rose with hogs and grain

gcncy from the threatened strike.
