DURING RUSH TOI SLIGHT ADVANCES
 THE BUYING SIDE RECORDED IN DAYS WHEAT GOES UPICURB DEALINGS

CHICAGO, Oct. 2.-During a gem eral rush to the buying side, the wheat market today made a sharp advance in prices, but heavy profit taking sales later brought about a reaction. Reports that government measures to provide farm relief were being considered was the chief basis for the new upturn In values. Wheat closed unsettled, at a shade to % c net gain. Corn finished 9sc to 29s c; oats unchanged to 1sc off, and pro- visions at a rise varying from DC to 25c.
 On the rise in prices in the wheat market, bulls had things their own way, until the December delivery had climbed more than 7c a bushel from the recent low point for that month. Although profit-taking sales had been in progress from the out set today, the offerings were well ab- sorbed for a considerable time, and it was only in the last half of the day that setbacks became pronounced Aside from eXpectance of government help another thing which gave strength to the market was the fact that receipts at domestic primary ter minals were small, northwestern ar rivals being in particular but half as large as a year ago.
 Increased inquiry for flour was re- ported from widely scattered terri- tory, and it was also that the buy CTS were showing more Of desire for early delivery. The better de- mand for flour was an additiona! bullish influence as to wheat. On the other hand, however, rams in the southwest were reported to have put winter wheat soil in the best condi- tion at this time in years.
 All deliveries of corn and oats touched a new high price record for the season, but as in wheat, a de- cline followed as a result of profit taking sales.
 Provisions were firmer with grain and because of big decrease shown In the stock of lard here

COTTON GOES UP;
 THEN DOWN WHEN REPORTS COME IN

NEW YORK. oct. 2.-Feverish speculation in cotton sent prices sky rocketing SS 10 100 points soon after the opening of todays market on publication of a bullish government ginning report and strong Liverpool cables. Publication of the govern ment condition report one hour later, however, struck the market like a thunderbolt and prices crashed 155 to 1S5 points, or as much as $925 bale below the earlier high levels as thousands of Da:es representing png contracts were thrown into the trad ing ring.
 brought about partial recovery later, so that closing quotations were 30 to 45 points below last nights close and 126 to 140 below today's high figures.
 Roughly, the extreme break repre- sented a decline of $100,000,000 in tho quoted value of the crop. based on the governments estimated yield.
 The early advance, based on the theory of the government report, is sued at 10 a. m.. showing S,215,S9i bales ginned on September 20, as against 3,S66,39S bales on the same date last year, foreshadowed 9 smaif crop repeort. Private estimates had led the cotton trade to expect a condi- t1on which would point to crop of 10,500,0 ,000 bales, so that the govern-e ment's crop condition of 49.5. indf- eating a yield of 11015,00O baless took the market completely by sur- prise.
 The December month was one of the most active traded in at 2S.37c a pound, Monday afternoon jumped to 29.37c in the first hour, broke to 27.G0c before noon, and then rallied to 27.95c before the close. mo
 With a surplus of about 2.500,00 bales from last year, the present out- look of 100000 bales would bring the total supply of cotton during the 1923-24 crop year to 13,500,000 bales. If consumption reaches 12,000,000 bales this year, as was estimated by some members of the trade, the carry-over, 100000 bales, will hs the smallest in many years. -.~
 Cotton exports point out, however. that the situation in the industry is fraught with uncertainties. An early frost, it is predicted, could easily re- duce the estimated yield of 100000, bales, while an open fall could just as easily increase the crop half as much. Weather is therefore bound to play an important part in specula tion in the next 30 or 40 days. par ticularly as today's forecast is tlae last of the season. The efinal gov- ernment report on the seasons yield Will be issued in December. T

 On the opening the census bureau is-- sued it's report on ginnings to the 25th of, September counting the total al 3,215, S94 bales, which was far under expectations. some estimates being high 4.000, 000a bales, while a few were even higher. Amid the grea test excitement the market rose, 100 to 110 points to 2S.7Sc a pound for December.

 HUBBARD BROS. & CO.'S LETTER
 NEW YORK, Oct. 2-(Special Oliver pool was much better than due this morn- Ing in anticipation of bulllsh report. This caused our market to advance rap idly, aided by the bullish ginning report that was issued at 10 o'clock. The mar ket showed extreme strength during the first hour. The report as issued of 4e was in line with private estimates. yet it is our belief that even though the private reports were around this figure the belief was that the government report would not be high as 1t was. Tremendous selling took place catching stop orders and spots were jumped from 100 to I25 points so rapid was the decline This re- port will undoubtedly tend to increase bearish feeling somewhat, but our belief is that even an eleven million bale crop will not be sufficient to meet the demands that will undoubtedly come from the mills who have yet a great deal of cotton to buy. Until the report is digested all around. the market will be rather unset tied, and then 1t is our opinion that an- other advance will take place.
