COTTON CRASHES
 ON CROP REPORT
Market Closes At Net Losses Of 13O To 135
 Points

NEW YORK, Oct. S.-The government cotton report indicating a crop of 12,- 499, 900 bales was followed by a break of approximately 184 to 1Se points in the cotton market today. December contracts, which had advanced to 25.76c during the early trading, declined to 23 92c and closed at 23.95c, the general market closing barely steady at net de- clines of 130 to 135 points.
 The market opened steady at an ad- vance of 12 to 20 points and sold up on relatively steady Liverpool cables and unfavorable western belt forecast point ing to unsettled weather and lower tenn peratures in the southwest with prob- able frost in Texas Panhandle and northwest Oklahoma. In addition to covering, a little fresh buying on the ad- vance carried October up to 26.6Sc and January to 25 BOG just before the gov ernment report was issued or about 40 to 50 points net higher.
 The official condition figure of 53.5 was closely in line with the average expectation in cotton exchange mem- bers but the crop indication of 12,499,OOO bales was evidently surprise to recent buyers and prices immediately weak ened. Selling on the crop outlook was stimulated by the report of the census bureau showing 4,525,520 bales ginned to October 1 in spite of rains of last month and moderate rallies from the first big break on the crop figures ran into increased offerings. The latter were supposed to include considerable selling by the south against cotton pre- viously carried unhedged and the lowest levels of the day were reached in the late trading when October sold at 24.70c and July at 24.04c, or 134 to 142 points net lower. Last prices were only a point or two up from the lowest on covering.
 The government report was construed by many local traders as indicating that 100000 bale crop estimate might pos sibly be revived in the event of a late frost date and the unfavorable western belt forecast seemed to drop from mar ket calculations after the condition fig ures were published.
 Exports today, 12,876, making 1,135,668 so far this season. Port receipts, 57 ,406. United States port stocks, 64S.267.

NEW ORLEANS COTTON

NEW ORLEANS, Oct. S.-The cotton market experienced a sharp downturn in today's session following the publi- cation of the government production forecast. Prices, which had advanced 51 to 57 points during the first hour of trading on a forecast for unsettled weather and possibly frost in the north west portion of the belt, declined 153 to 15S points within a few minutes.
 Despite several small rallies the mar ket again eased off during the after noon on continued liquidation until De- cember traded down to 23.S2c and Janu- ary to 23.SSc, or 187 to 192 points down from the highs of the morning and 136 to 136 points below the close of yester- day. The close was but little above the lowest prices of the day, showing net losses of 126 to 127 points.
 Although today's forecast was nearly 100000 bales smaller than the forecast issued September 23, 1t was still larger than the trade expected. Hence the general desire to liQuidate commitments on the long side. The selling was as- on ginnings to October 1, which were larger than expected. although owing to the change in the dates established for this seasons reports there were no com parative statistics available for pre- vious years.
 As the weather map showed a rather extensive storm area in the far west, likely to bring rain and colder wealth CT for the belt, and as the official fore cast was for colder weather and pos- sibly frost, the feeling at the close was that the technical position of the mar ket had been strengthened and rally of fair proportions was due.

WHEAT JUMPS
 ASPlT CLOSES Upturn Scored On Buying Resulting From Can-
 ada Crop Figures

CHICAGO. Oct. s.-Wheat prices scored a brisk upturn at the last to- day as a result of enlarged buying based on current opinion that crop es- inmates issued this afternoon at Win- nipeg would prove buliish. Reports of rain in CansA& counted also as a strengthening 4actor. Closing quota lions on wheat were firm, x to 1M net higher, December, $1.500 1.50% and May, $L55% @155M. Corn finished un- changed to Tx up, oats at # to \ gain and provisions unchanged to BOG lower.
 The latest official figures indicate the 1923 yield of wheat in Canada's prararie provinces is 2s6,000.00o bushels. contrasting withsa recent estimate of harvested in 1923. Announcement of recent liberal export sales to the Orient from the United States tended further today to re-establish confidence here among friends of higher prices for wheat and so likewise did less opti- mistic forecasts regarding the outlook for Australian crop. On the other hand, the market early was depressed by a decided setback in values at Liv- erpool, by better weather in Argentina and by views In some quarters here that the world shortage of production had been discounted.
 Unfavorable weather did good deal to rally the corn market from . decline due to wheat weakness early. Besides, gossip was current that the govern ment crop report tomorrow would turn out to be more bullish than has been generally expected. There was talk, too, that whereas the wheat, rye and oats markets have advanced consid- erably of late; corn has scored little or no gain for g month. %
 Oats today followed other grain, de- clining early with sellers taking profits, but turning strong later. Provisions were inclined to sag. Commission houses had few orders en either side and packers were inactive.

Sales Reflect Absence'Of Traders Because Of
 Jewish Holiday

NEW YORK, Oct. S.-Except for brisk selling of some high priced public utiii- ties just before the close, trading in to- days stock market was extremely slug gish with prices in the general list mov- ing irregularly lower. Absence of many traders in observance of the Jewish re- ligious holiday was reflected in the vol ume of business, total sales again ap- proximating half a million shares.
 United States Steel common fluctu- ated within range of % of point. closing unchanged at 107B. 1ndepend- ent steels made no response to reports of possible mergers as result or the abolition of the Pittsburg plus price plan, which were hinted at in the week. ly steel trade reviews. Baldwin and Sfudebaker showed small fractional re- sessions. American Can, which had sold as high at 131% in the early trading, later fell back to 1904, up h ont the day.
 General Electric closed more than 5 points lower at 250%, after having sold as high as .255h. Consolidated Gas or Baltimore and Nash Motors each proke about points, while losses Of points or more were recorded by American Water Works, West Pennsylvania POW CT and Virginia Railway and Power. Central Railroad of New Jersey proKe F points on one sale. North American, the most. active feature in the public utility group, dropped 1b to 33S.
 Further accumulation of Gorgan Mo- tors sent that stock up to a new hign record for the year at 35A, recent buy ing being based on high current earn ings. New peak prices also were at tained by Packard preferred, Mash Mo- tors preferred, International Nickel pre- ferred and Federal Light. Chandler touched another new low at 30% and then rallied to 30A for a net loss of IA on the day. General Motors and Great Western Sugar also sold at new low prices. S a4,st-s @ Railroad shares held relatively firm. Wall street heard today that recent heavy selling of St: Paul was for the account of a. Chicago operator who IS taking a short position in the stock.
 Strength of the local traction issues was attributed to the unexpected decIa- ration at this time of a quarterly in- stallment of $1.25 on Manhattan rail- way stocks by the Interborough Rapid Transit company.
 Money rates held steady. Call money was unchanged at 2 per cent. The time money and commercial markets were quiet with borrowers manifesting little interest.
 Extreme irregularity characterized the foreign exchange market. Demand sterling moved up more than cent to S4.47 and French francs fluctuated around 5.20c. Silver exchanges touched new highs. Further weakness cropped out in Japanese yen, which yielded N to 3M.

 The weakness in plpg line stocks had a depressing effect on the popular oils. Standard oil of Ohio closed points off on a smell turnover and Prairie Oil and Gas and Prairie Pipe Line each lost 2 points.
