FEW INDUSTRIAL
 BONDS REACH NEW LOW PRICE LEVEL

NEW YORK, Oct. 15.-Bond prices moved irregularly in the trading on the New York Stock Exchange, some of the industrial lines falling off to new low prices of the year while moderate advances were recorded by numerous railroad mortgages.
 Closing prices were not far from the final quotations of Saturday in most cases. The four Liberty issues of the United States government held steady in dull trading while the tax exempt 315s and treasury 4As were bought heavily at advancing prices.
 Few transactions were recorded in the foreign group, although the un- dertone seemed firm. Speculative in- terest was displayed in the refunding As certificates of the New York Rail- ways and the bonds moved up more than 2 points
 New low records for the year were established by public service of New Jersey 5s, Cerro De Pasco Copper Ss, and United States Rubber 7hs. Good rich 6lks touched it's previous low. Brokers reported a good sale of the land bank s47,000,000 and there were reports of an offering this week of St. Paul terminal bonds. An issue of $15000, ,000 cumulative per cent pre- ferred Nickel Plate will be offered at E per cent.

EXCITED MOVEMENT COTTON
BUYING I SENDS HIGHER

NEW YORK, Oct. 15.-very un- favorable weather and crop reports from the southwest led to an ex- cited buying movement in the cot ton market here today and sent prices some 80 to 90 above Satur- days closing quotations. December contracts sold up to 29.4S, making an advance of 236 points from the low price of last Tuesday and closed at 2S.32 The general market closed steady at net advances of 6S to 70 points.
 The market opened strong at an advance of 49 to SC points The re- ports of heavy general rains in the southwest had reached Liverpool be- fore trading here started and local operators were confronted by both an unfavorable weather map and relatively strong cables. There was a good deal of realizing but the buy ing was active and excited and there was practically no pause in the up- ward movement until October sold at 29.93 and January to 2S.8S with active months generally showing net advances of 73 to 90 points. There was more realizing at these figures, causing reactions of Is or 20 points from the best during the
 
 profit-taking no selling pressure de- voloped, and the market firmed up again in the late trading on appre- hensions of continued bad weather In the belt. October sold at 29.9S on this advance and January re- covered to the early high level, mak- ing net advances of 7S to 90 points on active position. The close was few points off from the best under realizing. Possibly the late advance was stimulated by reports that ad- visory storm warnings had been is- sued for the Louisiana and Texas coast because of a storm in the gulf. but this was not generally known on the floor before the close. The reports of general heavy rains over Texas, Oklohama and parts of Arkan- sas, were accompanied by numerous complaints of damage to the crop and grade of open cotton, and, ac- cording to some advices, shippers, who had not yet covered their end October commitments were finding it difficult to secure the grades need ed. Reports from Washington said the department of agriculture was considering a special crop report on crop conditions as of October 25 but had not yet reached any definite de- cision on the question.
 Port receipts today 52,7l3. United States port stocks 646,193. Exports, 32,516, making 1,205,619 so far this season.

PRICE OF WHEAT TENDS TO REACH A LOWER LEVEL

CHICAGO, Oct. 15.-With the United States visible supply of wheat nearly double as much as it was. a year ago and with Canadian wheat arriving at Minneapolis. the wheat market today kept inside of narrow limits, but averaged lower in price. Final quotations were unsettled at 1s6A to & net decline, December S1.0S to 1.0S@10S1s and May $1.12Ia to 1.12h h@ss. Corn closed un- changed to 17c up.
 Although setbacks in the value of wheat brought about considerable buying on the part of commission houses the support for the market showed less enSrsy than has been the rule of late it was noticeable that offerings increased on the bulges and that gains failed to last. This was especially the case after announcement near the end of the day that the domestic visible supply had been enlarged 1,504.0C0 bushels, making the total 55,840.000 bushels as against 33,4ll,GG0 bushels at the corresponding time last year. Mean while export demand was inconse- quential and the Liverpool market S to 1S lower. Some selling of wheat here was due to the heavy tone of the northwestern markets. a condition associated with reports that five carloads of Canadian wheat. arrived at Minneapolis duty paid. had been sold there at 7c bushel less than December delivery of ,do- mestic wheat. On the other hand reports continued to circulate that the tariff commission and the in- terstate commerce commission were still studying possible measures for farm relief that the war finance commission was also retng looked to for help.
 mediate use rallied corn prices from decline brought about by favorable weather. An increase of the visible supply eased the oats market.

NEW YORK COTTON FUTURES
NEW ORLEANS COTTON MARKET.

NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 15.-Extremely
 heavy and general rains over Oklahoma and Texas and the threat that the bad
 weather would extend into more eastern
 portions of the belt caused wide advances in the cotton market today, putting
 prices up from the opening. There were
 no recesslons of consequence and highest
 prices followed the storm warning for
 the Texas and Louisiana coasts. resulting from disturbance in the west gulf of
 Mexico. At the highest the trading po-
 sitions were IT to 96 points over the close of last week with December to 2S.9Sc
 a. pound, or within less than S2 a bale Of the highest of the season. December closed at 2SS7c to 2S.93c with the list at net gains of 67 to 95 points.
 The session was one long series of re-
 ports of rain in the west and of accounts or which the wet weather doing to the grade of the crop Private reports
 made it' appear that in the last three
 days from 6 to inches of rain had fai-
 len in open cotton in some sections of
 the west and one spot house estimate was that the quality of at least a million
 bales Of the crop had been lowered from one to two full grades.
 It was wholly weather market and
 new buying stimulated by accounts of crop damage more than offset the offer ings. Much of the support in the late
 session was caused by the belief that the
 weather map tomorrow morning again
 would be highly unfavorable with the
 disturbance in the gulf an added feature of importance,

COFFEE MARKET

NEW YORK, Oct. 15.-The market for coffee futures was quiet. but higher today owing to a firm Brazilian cable and re- ports that in some instances Brazilian shippers were offering to pay the differ ence between prices at which sales were made for forward shipments some time ago and present values to cancel con tracts. This was supposed to result from difficulty in securing desired grades out of the current Brazilian receipts and led to some covering of trade hedges around the ring. The market opened at ad- vance of 15 to 23 points, with December selling up to S.94c and May to s.1Oc or IT to 30 points net higher on the general list. Closing quotations showed net ad- vances of 22 to 90 points. Sales were es- timated at about 17.0oo bags. October. 9:OSc; December. s,ssc; March, s.25c May. s.1oc; July, 7.soc; September 7soc.
