COTTON ADVANCES
ON CROP ESTIMATE
Early Rise Offset by Heavy
Selling, But Level at Close
Is Higher.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, October S.-A very
sharp advance in the cotton market
followed publica ton of the Govern
ment crop report today. December
contracts, which had sold at 21.12
just before the report, jumped to 21S0
when trading was resumed, or SS
points above Fridays closing quota
ton. Almost as quick reaction OF
about so or 60 points followed under
heavy realizing, but the market stead
led up again, December closing at
21.47. and the general market AZ to
IS points net higher.
The opening was steady at un-
changed prices to an advance OF 16
points. and the market showed net
gains of about 25 to 80 points in early
trading on covering for over-the.bu-
reau, and buying promoted by reports
OF further rains in the Southwest.
There were slight setbacks just before
business was suspended to receive the
Government report, but the crop in
dication Of 12.678,000 bales was evi-
IDENTIFY below the expectations Of re-
cent sellers.
There was rush of covering or re-
buying, and an immediate jump of
so to 6S points i'm prices, January
representing net gains of so to 88
points on the more active positions,
which attracted heavy Southern sell
ing and realizing by recent buyers.
Offerings were heavy enough to cause
rapid reactions of 50 or 64 points from
the best, but trade buying and re-
newed covering firmed up the market
again during the last few minutes.
March sold off to 21.35 on the set
back and closed at 21U. compared
with 21.19 at the close Friday.
The census report, showing 5,945,-
167 bales ginned prior to October !.
was shade above figures recently
discussed in the market here, but did
not appear to come in for much com
ment as immediate interest seemed TO
center on the crop indication. Reports
of rains in the Southwest may have
increased the disposition to buy on the
crop report, and part of the forenogl
demand was attributed to Liverpool
anu foreign trade accounts.
Private cables attributed the rela-
lively firm tone of the early Liverpool
market to covering and trade calling,
together with continental and Bombay
buying. which. according to some ad.
vices, was Influenced by unfavorable
weather reports from the Southwest.

The general market for eggs holds

many to supply trade wants at the
premium expected on strictly fresh

nearby strictly fresh eggs continue
light and the movement on this grade
is fairly good with all offerings OF this
sort meeting with prompt sale, but
average receipts of socailed fresh
eggs are of such irregular quality
they can only be termed current re-
ceipts and have to be sold at discounts
to move them. The market closed to-
day at 40 cents dozen for firsts in
