RAILROAD BONDS SHOW STRENGTH ON STOCK CHANCE

NEW YORK, Oct 10.-A renewal of buying in railroad mortgages and the strength and activity of local fractions featured today's trad ing in bonds on the New York stock exchange. The volume of business fell off some, due probably to the absence of many traders for the opening of the worlds series.
 Traders were unable to account for the sharp upturn in Interborough Rapid Transit securities, the sevens gaining 2 points, except on the the carried them to a bargain basis. Net changes among the general run of railroad mortgages were small with the majority pointing upward. Quashing of indictments against New Haven directors, returned in 1914 and 1915, stimulated buying of that roads bonds but advances were slight.
 Little interest was shown in Euro pean bonds, but South American is- sues found good support at slight advances. Active United States gov ernment bonds improved with the ex- ception of the third Liberty A S which sagged little.
 Industrial liens were inclined to be reactionary, small declines being recorded by some of the oil, steel and copper company issues.
 Bankers offering the S1O,OOO, 900 Kansas City Terminal 3-year 5h per cent secured notes announced the issue had been subscribed and the books closed.

COTTON FUTURES ADVANCE M FACE OF SPOT DEMAND

NEW YORK, Oct. 10.-While some what irregular during today's earlier trading. the cotton market was gen. orally higher and showed increasing firmness late in the9 afternoon on bullish spot advices and trade buy from 27.45c to 2S:02c, or 52 points net higher and closed at 27.9Oc, with the general market closing steady at net advances of 20 to 5S points.
 The market opened steady at an advance of 12 points to a decline of 2 points, most months being higher 3on relatively firm cables. There was reports that the gulf storm had dis appeared and the favorable showing of the early weather map in other respects. This sent prices about 5 to points net lower, with October declining to 2ZS0c and January to -26.S3c. Trade interests were reported good buyers on this dip, however, middle of the day. At first glance the weekly report Of the weather bu- reau was considered favorable, but later there was a bullish comment on its showing as to Texas and Okla homa,s4and the market was also in- fluenced on.4reportS of a higher spot basis in the southwest. Early after
 
 or two of the Alabama mills would curtail operations owing to poor trade caused slight setbacks, but the market soon firmed up again on buy inc by spot house brokers. The de- mand of that sort was more or less in evidence during the entire day and the market acted as if it had ab- sorbed the floating supply Of con tracts during the, morning. At any rate, offerings were comparatively light late in the afternoon, when Oc- tober sold up to 2S.30c and January to 27.45c or 45 to 67 points net higher on the general list. March and May deliveries were relatively firm. The close was a few points off from the best under realizing. Exports today were 9,415 bales, mak- inS 1,071,414 so far this season.

NEyy ORLEANS COTTON

NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 10.-After de- clnes of 6 to 9 points around the opening today it was prolonged rise in the cot ton market, with pronounced activity and a market hardening of prices in the late trading when the highest levels of the day were reached. Here the trading po- sitions were 6s to 66 points higher than the close of yesterday, with December up to 2E57c a pound after having traded as low as 26.Ssc. The close was at net gains on the session of 4s to 59 points. with December sales ranging from 27.46c to 27.49c. lgft.
 The outstanding reasons for the late advance were reports of showers here and there over Texas and rumors that large
 mills in this country were heavy buyers of spot cotton. One report had it that spot interests during the day fixed prices on 10000 bales of cotton. The week crop reports were construed very bullishly and on statements in them saying cotton was nearly all picked at several sections belt was bullish.
 The early declines were due mainly to the better weather map than expected. It noted next to no rain in the cotton belt and the barometer lines over the Gulf of Mexico caused less uneasiness than was the case yesterday.

SEVERAL STOCKS DROP POINT OR MORE DURING DAY

NEW YORK. Oct 10.-Short cover ing operations imparted temporary strength to leading stocks in today s market but free offerings of some of the speculative favurites in the last hour brought about a general reac- ton. the net losses in active issues ranging from fractions to nearly two points.
 4 heavy tone was apparent in the first few minutes of trading but all offerings were well absorbed and it was not long before moderate rally was in progress with the several ot the leaders selling a point or more above yesterdays final figures. Tho high prices, however, brought about a sharp contraction in demand which encouraged a renewal of selling op- erations by bear traders accounting for recessions of a point or more from the top prices in Studebaker, Ameri- can Can United States Steel and some of the railroad shares.
 The most favorable development of the day was the declaration of the dividends on Sinclair common and preferred Wall street had consider ed the possibility of the reduction or omission of the common with the re- suit that the announcement of the dl- yidend action brought about a sharp rally in the stock which crossed 19 and then eased to 1SB, up one on the day Other oils improved in sym pathy but they were unable to main tain their gains.
 Heaviness of the copper shares was construed as reflected speculative dis appointment over metal prices and the immediate outlook for export business. Anaconda was depressed two points, selling of this issue also be- ing influenced by reports that the company was suspending some of it's development operations in the Andes h fun
 Publication of the monthly tonnage report of the United States Steel cor poration, showing a reduction of 37S,- 9l2 tons in thrilled orders, was about in line with Wall streets earlier es- inmates A report circulated just be- fore the statement was issued that the reduction would be much less, however, caused a run-up in the stock to S77s but it reacted to S6 5-S Just before the close. showing substantial support around S615.
 New low records for the year were esta blished by a number of ordinarily inactive issues including National En- ameling, Pierce Oil preferred, Consol- dated Cigar preferred, Colorado and Southern Replogle Steel and Pressed Steel Car preferred.
 Some of the chemical stocks were strong. American Agricultural Chemi- cal closing about two points higher but Davison was again heavy, losing 2M points. Strength and activity of Pittsburg Coal, which closed at a point higher attracted considerable interests and led to reports of merger in the Pennsylvania soft coal.
 Call money opened at per cent but it eased off to 41a. Out of town hanks are the principal takers of commercial paper, the ruling rate for prime names being 514 per cent. For eign exchanges lost ground. Demand sterling yielded slightly to S4.55 Ills and French francs dropped nearly 6 noin+s German marks sold as low as 2,5OO, GOO, 000 for $1.

WHEAT HIGHER ON BULLISH ASPECTS
 OF CROP REPORT

CHICAGO, Oct. 10.-Wheat took decided upturn in price today owing chiefly to bullish aspects of the gov ernment crop report and as d result of notable strength in the corn mar Ret. Wheat closed strong at the days best level, F to 2 1s c net higher with December $1.09% to $1.09& O s, and May $1.13% G$1.14. Corn finished 1% at 3S cents up, oats at half ls B a 1c, ad provisions ranging f:5Ia cents decline to 20 cents advance.
 In view of the fact that the gov- ernment estimate as to the domestic yield of spring wheat was not only smaller than private reports had ln- dicated, but was the smallest since 1919, many commission houses went promptly to the buying side, and met with little resistance until after the market had scored the greatest part of the days advance. Bulls asserted that the spring crop in Minnesota, the Dakotas ad Montana was shown to be the smallest in 30 years. Much notice was also given the fact that despite a hearish report which the government had made as to corn, the market today was soaring above. the seasons previous top prices of cron for immediate delivery and for. De- tober and December as well. Some additional purchasing of wheat was ascribed to vague reports about gold loan to Germany.
 Scarcity of current supplies of old corn became so pronounced that talk was heard as to a Likelihood of corn selling soon higher than wheat al- though some new corn is already be- ing booked for early shipment to Chi cago from nearby farms. Oats as- cended with corn and wheat.
 Improved shipping demand helped to lift the provision market
