WHEAT UNSETTLED AND TURNS LOWER

CHICAGO, Oct. 27-Bstimates that 2,000.OOO to 9,OOo,0Oo bushels of Canadian wheat, duty paid, had so United States at cents d bushel less than the price of domestic grain of equal quality had a bearish effect to- day on the wheat market here. Clos ing quotations were unsettled 14 Co $s to F O 5s cent net lower, with De- cember $1.064 e ss to $1.0e2s and May $1.11H. Corn finished 1s o 4 down, oats at 1s cent off to shade ad- vance. and provisions unchanged to a setback of cents.
 Notwithstanding a slight upward tendency at the opening, the wheat market soon turned down grade, and
 during the remainder of the day showed but little power to rally. In itial declines were ascribed to the
 fact that Liverpool quotations had failed to reflect yesterdays decline
 here The majority of traders, how ever, took more notice of indications that imports of Canadian wheat into
 this country were growing heavier despite the tariff of 30 cents bushei. To offset this factor, bulls continued to put stress on gossip that news helpful to higher prices was likely to come out of Washington, but the | market made little or no response, anu lhe close was dt diihosI tno uay S low.
 Most of the Canadian wheat im- ported into the United States up to this time is said to have been for
 mills, much of it to be ground into flour at various places east of Chi cago. Besides, millers at Minneapolis and elsewhere northwest were said to have purchased literally from Canada
 in the last few days. Talk of in-
 creased competition from Russia in
 Durum wheat was also given some
 notice.

NEW ORLEANS COTTON

NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 27.-Much better accounts of trade in manufactured goods were the strongest influence in the cotton market today and caused firmness and actlve buying in the face of a great deal or week end realizing of profits on the long side, buying being heaviest in the late trading when prices went to IT points over the last sales of yesterday to 5O.27c pound for December. The close was to points net higher on the day and an the last trade in December was at SO.23c, the closing range of sales on that position being from So.19c to So.23c.
 Liquidation by longs was a depressing influence on the opening and in the or the list Is to 21 points under the close of yesterday Unfavorable weather returns from the western belt resulted in a rally back to about the level of yesterdays close, but the real buying movement of the day was not felt until during the second half of the session. Telegrams rom Galveston that 900 bales of cot ton would clear that port at the end of the month encouraged considerable buy ing but the sharpest demand followed reports from Worth Street that some dry goods houses yesterday did the best busi- ness in their history and that one firm alone had sold over 10.000.OOo yards of cloths. N
 While the weather over good part of the belt was dry and somewhat warmer, points in north and west Texas and in Oklahoma wired that they still were ex- periencfng cold and wet, and the official predictions called for similar conditions over Sunday over considerable part of the western cotton country.

IT. & E. BEERS COTTON LETTER

NEW ORLEANS. La, Oct. 27.-The Hull in the market of late is due to contention that raw cotton too high compared with value of cotton goods and that spin ners were unable to dispose of their stocks of the manufactured products to advan- tage.
 This argument was exploded today by Fall River reporting sales of 130, 900 pieces of prints past week. whereas previous weekly sales were only 1000 to 50,000 and by wire from New York today that big business has developed in the goods market. two firms having had a record day, one firm selling 10000,000 yards.
 There is every indication of the textile trade improving, especially regards pros poets for the demand for goods increas- ing, for while goods may be cheap com pared with raw material, this is the very incentive for buying broadening the outlook is for higher prices for spot cot ton eventually. in which case jobbers would likely exact higher prices for the finished product.
 It appears to be an opportune time for for their future wants, as higher quota tions appear inevitable not only for cot ton goods. but for raw cotton as well.
 Here in New Orleans net stock of cotton is 100, ,000 bales less than last year. 10S, 900 bales against POS .000, and returns indi- cate crop smaller than last veal in every state in the cotton region of the Missis- sippi valley which point to light receipts in future and consequently very strong spot situation.
 Galveston wired that Galveston will ex- port 100000 bales next week and it is likely exports from other southern ports will be large, the end of October ship ments.
