WHEAT SUPPLIES
LOW AT CHICAGO
Only 5,500,000 Bushels in Eleva.

Advancing Market.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, November 11.-Possibili-
ties of unexpected fireworks in the Chi
cago wheat market are faced by
traders.
One of the largest grain companies
here yesterday issued statement en-
phasizing that strange as the fact may
appear, Chicago has only $500, 900
bushels of wheat in public and private
elevators, and that, with perhaps the
single exception of Duluth, there is no
other terminal market where prices are
low enough to permit shipments to re-
plenish Chicago stocks this season. II
is also asserted that the bulk of the
United States Government holdings of
future delivery contracts for wheat are
in the Chicago market, and that sur
prising results as to prices might follow
should a delivery be demanded by the
Government for double the amount OF
wheat actually available.
Compared with a week ago. latest
Chicago quotations on wheat snow
prices 2ha3H cents bushel higher,
with corn 31sa315 up, oats l1sal 9s ad-
vanced and provisions at a rise OF IL
to AZ cents.
Adding to grain trade uneasiness
about scantiness of wheat supplies IN
Chicago is knowledge that the move
rnert Of wheat to all primary domestic
centers has revealed a big shrinkage.
Total receipts for the calendar week
are only l,735, 900 bushels, against
3os8, 900 in the corresponding period
of 1882.

COTTON REFLECTS
INITIATION TREND
Smaller Increase in Crop Estimate.
Than Expected Also Help to
Lift Market.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, November 1.-THE
publication Of the Government crop re-
port was followed by advances in the
cotton market here on covering and a
broadening of general demand which
was evidently stimulated by the weak
ness of the dollar in foreign exchange
and the action of the grain and stock
markets
December cotton, which has sold of
to 9.35 on the pre-bureau evening-up
Of Monday, advanced to 9.95, but the
buying tapered off somewhat at this
figure, which appeared to be attracting
considerable realizing and little more
scattered selling. This was reflected
by some irregularity toward the end of
the week, with December closing yes
the close Of the previous Friday.
The Government report, placing the
indicated crop at l3,l00,00O bales,
showed an increase of 215,000 bales
over last months figures, but was fully
10000 bales below the average expec-
tations. -
Hedging has been light enough to

holding movement I'm the South.
Domestic consumption for October
amounted to $4,000 bales, compared
with $4,000 in September and $4,000
in October last year.

each case the reaction was limited

Industrial Prices Rise.
Industrial commodities successfully
advanced under the leadership of
higher quotations for fuels, hides and
leather, non-ferrous metals paint ma
terials and textiles. A check-up on
the rate Of industrial activity shows
no noteworthy change Actual produc-
tion is still holding substantially under
the high Of last July.
Agricultural prices recorded the
greatest proportionate gain of any
group. The controlled gold plan is
designed to help the price of farm
products for the reason that the ad-
nlinistration is carrying out such prin-
ciples as the process tax, curtailed
acreage, and loans in the effort Ia
establish farm income more on a parity
with the general price level.
Live stock quotations also recovered
during the week, the increase being
due to higher levels for cattle, hogs
and lambs
