EARLY ADVANCE
DID NOT HOLD IN
FLEECY STAPLE

New York. October ia further
advance in the cotton market at the
opening today met heavy realizing
and probably selling for a reaction.
December broke 22.76c to 22.36c or
about 40 points from the best, and
closed at 22.42c, with the general
market closing barely steady al a net
decline of 9 to IA points.
The opening was steady at an adj
vance of II to Is points on con-
tinuatlon of the recent buying move
ment Local traders found no fresh
bullish factor in the early news, but
the early buying was encouraged by
steady Liverpool cables, continued
bullish reports from the cotton goods
markets and unsettled weather in the
eastern belt, which suggested pos
sible damage to grades or a slowing
up of the movement
Offerings were heavy from the
start but they were well taken on
slight early setbacks with prices
later showing net advances of % TO
&c points. This established new high
ground for the present movement
with January selling at 22.64c, max
ing advances OF about Nc per pound
as compared with the low prices
touched toward the end of last month.
Realizing became more active at
these figures, while there was also
considerable southern selling and
scattering local pressure, accom-
panied by claims that the market
was entitled to reactions because of
an easier technical position. There
was enough buying on a scale down,
partly for trade account to cause
bulges from time to time during the
early afternoon but they all met in
creased offerings and the lowest
prices were touched in the late trad
ing, when January sold at z2.20c or
some 40 or "A points off from the
best, and 10 to % points net lower.
The close was several points up
from the lowest on covering. A
telegram received here from Hods
ton reported good spot demand
from Liverpool and the continent, but
there were not many advices from
the south, apparently. Exports for
the day were 33.0S5, making 934,4l9
so far this season. Port receipts,
57,4S4. United States port stocks,
$685. 40.

session. Brokers had considerable ac-
emulation of buying orders in their hands
on the opening and for a while the tone
was very steady, until realizing sales be-
came too liberal. Around noon a new
demand met the recessons but 1t was
soon filled and In the late trading the

LibertyFour and One

New York, October 16.-Pro-
nounced weakness in the old Liberty
~ per cent bonds. all of which de-
clined 56c to FAC on 800. was the
outstanding development in today's
bond market. Two reasons were as
signed for this, one that investors
were selling old bonds to purchase
the newer and longer term securities
and the other that it represented
liquidation on the part of banks and
large Institutions to meet the demand
for increased commercial credit

that OUT of the total subscriptions
of more than sf550. 000,0 600 for the
new refunding loan, the sum Of

scriptions, came as a big and well
come surprise to bond dealers. who
had predicted that a large portion
of the subscriptions would represent
the exchange of maturing Victories
and other short term obligations.
Bond prices, however, did not rally
on the news, but moved with an ir-
regular trend
The principal development in con-
nection with foreign securities was
the announcement that the $4,000. 900

PROFIT TAKING Isl
CAUSE OF DROP IN.
CHICAGO GRAIN PIT

Chicago, October 16.-Although
wheat, corn and oats today reached
some new top record prices for the
season, immense profit taking sales
led to down turns later. A decided
gain in wheat values 1T Liverpool
was chiefly responsible for strength
shown by markets here. Wheat in
Chicago closed unsettled. lze net
lower to like advance, with De-
cember s1.12A to s1.12A and May
Slips to $1.12A Corn finished a c
off to sse up, oats down nc to zsc,
and provisions varying from Tic de-
cline to a rise of &c.
General buying sent wheat up
quickly at the start here, but the
rise coming after recent other gains
proved to be great incentive to
realize on holdings. transportation
difficulties which tended to make
speculative selling unpopular, failed
to have like effect ON hedging. and
the pressure from realizing here was
noticeably increased through active
selling from Winnipeg houses that
were purchasing at home. Besides.
increases in the domestic and Cana
dian visible supply totals served more
or less to temper bullfsh sentiment.
European need of wheat as indi-
Gated by the Liverpool advance was
currently estimated here as amount
Ing to 250,000,000 bushels exclusive
of shortage of 100, 900, 900 bushels
Of rye Sales to Europe today said
to have been limited only by ability
to get the grain in position to offer,
were figured at about 100000
bushels, chiefly Canadian.
Corn and oats were governed chief
ly by the action of wheat. Leading
interests reported that Germany was
paying 99e a bushel for corn at
Rotterdam, equal to 76c in Chicago.
Provisions, excepting only October
lard, showed sympathy with the firm
ness of hog values.

Over Private Wires
STEWARDS LITTER

Birmingham October 16.-The Liverpool
futures came over this morning about as
due with good sales of 10, 600 bales at an
advance of 80 points in their middling.
The Manchester cables stated business was
good and feeling optimistic. Our markets
opened 10 points above Saturdays close
and advanced about 10 points further on
considerable selling by the western inter-
ests and offerings from the southwest
were pretty good. On the selling depres-
sion the market continued to show con-
siderable strength due to buying by the
trade to fix prices and very good Euro
pean demand. The days fluctuations
proved to be more or less scalpng at
fair, witnessing heavy buying on breaks
and selling on the bulges the latter hav-
ing loss of ii points from the previous
close. Scots were generally unchanged and
business continued good at Saturdays
prices. The cloth market continues good
both here and abroad. The journal of
Commerce, looking far ahead for bullsh
material, wires that the next crop ought
to be something like 100000 bales. Men
of large experience in the cotton business
believed that such a crop is out of the
solved 1t Is too much to expect in the
years Just ahead crops of more than
1906 900 to 1900, 900 at the most, and
such yields be raised only at very
high cost through extensive farming in
combating the weevil. The majority of
the opinions at the close today that a
further reaction is in order, but cotton
cents for January and March, New Or
leans. Should these figures be reached we
believe this will be excellent spot to
make purchases r. Stewart & Co.

New York. October It. Especial Call
ing by trade acceptances with fresh outside
buying brought sharp advance the
opening this morning. The south turned
freezers. which together with liquidation
by recent buyers on the theory that the
market was high enough for the time be-
ing. caused reaction to below Saturday
closing figures. The action on the market
was perfectly natural one and to be ex
pected from time to time as 1t reaches
new levels at which the south is willing
to sell part OF its cotton. The higher mar
ket goes the wider these reactions will be.
but far the fundamental factors are
concerned the situation remains unchanged
and, in fact. from day to day becomes
stronger the pressure of selling from
first holders lessens.-Huhbard Bros & Co.
