KAHN BROS. & VIRGIN COTTON
 LETTER

NEW ORLEANS, Nov. 6.-Another tre- mendous buying wave swept over the cot ton market today and lifted prices 121 to 132 points to new high levels. This bulge carried December and January to s. 65c and March to 33.75c. Liverpool started this advance like 1t was done several times recently and is credited with having bought heavily in our market after 1t closed. New York and trade interests were also heavy buyers
 A freeze in the northwest small ginning returns from scattered sections of the belt outside of Texas and belief that the next census report ginnings will confirm crop ideas around 10.000,000 bales fur nished the incentive for buying.
 Reports to the effect that the interior Is pressing spots for sale and that sales are being made an easier basis and on a basis that permits tenders at a profit had a sobering effect and checked the buying for a time. The buying was re- sumed on a larger scale than ever later on rumors that a private bureau estimated gtnnings at 100000 against S,139,000 to this date last year Shorts also covered freely, contracts became scarce and prices rose to the best of the day.
 The persistent buying of Liverpool re gardless of price has created a feeling that the English have Information on the international political situation which is not known in this country. At any rate the English appear determined to get an ample supply of cotton. The advance does not appear to be over by any means.- Fenner & Beane.

SETS NE VI RECORD
 FOR AIR CLIMBING
Two Speed Kings Of Air Give Carnival At Mitchell
 Field

MITCHELL FIELD, N. Y, Nov G. 1 (By Associated Press. )-Lieut. Alfred J. Williams, naval aviator, who, with | his fellow officer, Lieut. Harold J. Brow, has been fractLring airplane world speed records the past week, participating in an air carnival here today, established what was believed to be an unofficial record for fast climbing. In one minute he climbed 5000 feet The best previous climb ing time, authorities said, was made by Roland Rohlfe, when he ascended 2,O00 feet in a minute.
 Among the host of aces who wit nesses Brow and Williams dash side by side past the grandstand for | brief distance was Captain Charles 1 Nungesser, French air wizard. Later | he clasped hands with the two navy fliers and demanded autographed photographs
 It was announced at the field that the friendly rivals would hold their 12 kilometerS race next Saturday when the carnival will be repeated. l Twelve thousand persons paid ad- mission to the field today, while twice that number was massed on the coun- tryside. Threatening weather caused l postponement of the races today.
 The stunt which sent shivers up and down spinal c,lumns was per l formed by three fliers from Selfridge field, who proved that for time they could dispense with wings, They flew their pursuit planes over the crowd completely on their side during a long straightaway dash utilizing | the fusilage alone as lifting sur face. Claude Henning. climbing all over a plane in flight and hanging from the landing gear had the crowd on it's toes.
 The first squadron of five planes. commanded by Capt. M. F. Brady, won the formation flying competi- ton. Lieut.. Victor Bertrandias cap tured the 30-mile airplane race Tor the Hitchcock trophy. Lieut. Edwin Johnson was first in the 30- mile free for-all race for Liberty engine planes and Sergeant Randall Bowes jump inc with another sergeant and two petty officers, landed first in 2,O0O- 1 foot parachute jumping contest be- tween the army and navy, in which the jumpers leaped from moving bomber.

| PRICE OF WHEAT
 DECLINES AGAIN
But Strength Of Corn Has CounterbalanCing
 Effect
CHICAGO. Nov. 6.-Further selllng

CHICAGO, Nov. 6.-Further selling on the part of owners who had ceased to count on government ac- ton to help them out led to fresh declines today in the price Of wheat but strength in the corn market had a counterbalancing effect later. Wheat closed unsettled at 3s to A @ & c net decline, December 105H to 1O6 and May 110T 0111 to III. Corn finished l. O $s to 1 Sc up, oats un- changed to a shade higher, and pro visions varying from 5Q7c off to like advance.
 Apparently the majority of wheat traders were acting at the outset today on the assumption that the only hope of higher prices through government aid of an immediate character was the chance that the wheat tariff would be raised on a possible recommendation of the tar if board at Washington. It was contended that wheat is one of the few articles selling that they sell below the cost of production, but this circumstance brought in little if any fresh buying, and the mar ket, in some cases, fell more than a cent bushel before showing power to rally. Meanwhile a contributing bearish factor was gossip that in the last few days five Italian drafts for grain had been reported unpaid.
 After midday, however, selling in the wheat pit appeared to dwindle, and with the corn market showing a decided upward trend the prevail ing sentiment as to wheat under went considerable changes. On the ensuing upturn. nevertheless, there was selling enough to prevent a complete recovery. Denial by noted speculator that he had pre- dicted wheat decline to soc was cir culated Just before tie market closed.
 Scantiness of receipts of corn here had a good deal to do with strength ening the corn market and so too did reports of disappointing husking returns, Oats were steaded by the action of corn.
 For the most part. provisions tend ed downward in line with the hog market.

NEW ORLEANS Nov. 6.--Rumors of small ginning returns from private sources put the cotton market above 3Sc a pound today and to new high prices for the season on all months in the contract de- partment. while spots were 125 points higher at the new high--33.25c for mid ding Late iu the day contracts were t20 to 162 points over the last sales of Monday, July being the strongest position. The close was 1O1 to 120 points net higher on the day. with the last sale of December at 23.48c. December traded as high as 33.65c, March touched 33.75c and July 33.52c At the highest of the day July was a little more than Ss bale up.
 The interior was a heavy buyer from the start and market comment was that spot interests also were heavy buyers of contracts. Realizing sales from the long side on the market in great volume, but they did not supply the demand. On the opening prices were higher mainly be- cause Of an exceedingly strong Liverpool, but the later bulges were due to rumors that private ginning reports indicated a very small output to the first of No Vember.
 The most bullish ginning figures re- eeived here came from Oklahoma, one telegram stating that 16s gins in Il coun- ties of that state had produced thus far only 35,045 bales of cotton, against 179567 to the same time last season. In the early afternoon the market was held down by reports that much spot cotton was being bought in the interior on a tenderable basis. but a little later the tone was stronger than ever.
