CHICAGO, Nov. 3.-With the united

to NC gain, and provisions unchanged
to Csc down.
Although an increase Of 2,135,000 BUSH
els showed today in the democrats VS.
ible supply of wheat was by no means
surprise, the announcement had
noticeable effect toward emphasizing
the views of traders on the bear side OF
the market. It was pointed out also
the supplies on ocean passage were To-
00O, 900 bushels in excess Of the aggre-
gate a year ago. Throughout the day,
selling, although Of a scattered char
acter, was persistent, with European
buyers apparently holding off for the
time being, and with the trade as
whole disposed to avoid any immediate
new ventures.
Something of a rally which came dur
ing the last hours trading in the wheat
market was ascribed chiefly 10 profit
taking on the part of early sellers. On
the ether hand, weakness at Winnipeg
about the same time attracted consid-
cradle notice, the Winnipeg market los
ing some Of its premium over Chicago.
Increasing pressure to sell low grade
wheat at Winnipeg was reported.
Bullish new unofficial estimates of
the 1924 yield of corn helped to rally
the corn market from declines due to
sympathy with wheat and to excellent
weather for conditioning corn. Oats
followed.

tensive prediction evening-up of COM

Standard rails and industrials displayed
a firm undertone, and some specialt1es,
particularly In the food group, were
bid up briskly on what appeared to be
buying for the account of pools.
There was a market absence of trade
news during the day. Marking up OF

not much of a market factor.

In Afternoon Activity Is
Noted In January
Contracts

NEW YORK, Nov. 3.-The cotton
market was comparatively quiet today
until we'll along into the afternoon
when recollection day covering became
active and January contracts sold up
to 1885, or IS points above the low
level of the morning and 80 points net

all months except October, which was
81 points higher.
The market opened steady at un-
changed prices to a decline Of points.
Liverpool cables were lower than due
and some southern hedge selling here
as we'll as liquidation sent prices about
20 to 26 points net lower before noon.
Reactionary sentiment was encouraged
by reports of good weather in the
south and two private crop reports, one
of which reaffirmed an end-September
estimate of 1905, 900 bales, while the
other estimated the crop at 1925, 900
bales.
December sold off to 22.5Sc, January
to 22.70c and March to 23.01c but offer
ings were absorbed at these figures and
the market steadied at midday on Liv-
erpool buying and covering. The lat
ter became more active after publica-
ton of another private crop report plac-
ing the crop at 12,635,000 bales. which
was more in line with crop ideas of

rebuyers on the afternoon advance.

to 23.7O, making net advances of about
80 to As points on the active months but
hedge selling increased in the. last half

GERMAN SUGAR SOLD

NEW YORK, Nov. 3.-German sugar
sold in the New York market today for
the first time since 1920. A local re-
Of 1000 tons Of the German raw beet
product, of which 1000 tons will be
shipped to this country. The remainder
was sold abroad.
The purchase price Of 4 cents a pound
represented a slight concession from the
price paid for Cuban sugar, although
sales of Cuban raws late today were
reported at the lower basis. 81.
Reports of a heavy oversupply Of SUE
gar in Germany have contributed to
the recent unsettlement in the local
sugar market. Prospects that prices of
the product here would be forced lower
by importations also have been in in
fluence in the weakness Of sugar COM
panies' securities.

NEW ORLEANS COTTON

NEW ORLEANS, Nov. 3.-The cotton
market today was largely pre-elec-
ton affair with trading generally quiet
at times fairly active. Prices eased off
30 to "a points in the first half Of the
morning on unfavorable cables, con-
tinued fair weather and large crop
estimate by a local firm. Later in the
day the early loss was recovered and
a fair net gain made, prices advancing
rs points from the lows. The advance
was attributed to a more moderate crop
estimate by a Chicago firm and the
large odds offered on the reelection OF
President Coolidge. A moderate re-
action right at the end due to realizing
cut down some of the net gain, and
January, the most active month, closed
16 points net higher.
At the start, Liverpool being lower
than due, prices opened easier with
first trades showing losses of 1S to 20
points. Prices continued to ease off
during most of the morning until De-
cember traded down to 22.50c, January
to 2250c and March to 22.7Sc, or 80 to
"a points under the closing levels Of
Friday. The subsequent rally carried
December up to 23.23c, January to 23.9Sc
and March to 2342c, or "a to rs points
above the early lows. Prices eased off
Is to 81 points from the highs in the
last few minutes of trading and the
close showed net gains for the day of
IA points on October and 16 to 20 points
on later months.
The weather map continued rainless
and the temperatures were mild, which
encouraged adherence to large crop esti-
mates. A local firm issued an esti-
mate Of 13,250,00O bales during the morn
ing, which had much to do with the
earlier decline. The later rally was
started by a Chicago private estimate
by a well-known authority of 1855, 900,
which was much more moderate than
recent private estimates, but the main
strength of the afternoon was attributed
to the large odds offered in Wall street
on the election of President Coolidge.
Total sales $685.

ger rumors.

IA by Tower Manufacturing being Off
set by a similar loss in Dubilier. Jones
Radio held steady around $40 a share
on reports of large current earnings.
