Cotton Prices Move
Higher for Third
Straight Week
Futures on New York
Exchange Advance
9 to ID Points
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Oct. 30-Cotton
prices moved higher last week for
the third successive week. The up
ward movement was very gradual
and was interrupted at times by
small recessions, but the trend was
evident.
In the New York Cotton Exchange
active old-type futures contracts re-
corded net gains of to IA points.
The neW-type october contract
showed a gain of II points.
The market seemed to derive its
strength largely from the possibil-
ity the total amount of cotton re-
quired for domestic consumption
and exports this season will sub
stantially exceed the current crop,
analysts said.
In such an event, it was believed,
the price level would have to ad-
vance to a level at which growers
would find it profitable to repossess
and sell 1888 loan cotton, since this
country entered the current sea-
son with a very small carryover of
cotton outside of the loan stock.
Domestic mills continue to run
at a high rate and most of them
were well sold ahead for several
months With only the first quar-
ter of the season gone, forwardings
of cotton to domestic mills so far
this season are about 450000 bales
in excess of those in the same Pc
riod last season.
Exports of cotton by this country
are running we'll ahead of last sea-
son. During the season to date the
excess over the same period last
season is about 100000 bales, all of
this in shipments to Great Britain
and the Continent. Shipments to
the Orient and to Canada are small
er than last season.
A report circulated in the cotton
market last week that the Depart
ment of Agriculture had formulated
a Government-loan program ap.
plicable to the current crop and hao
submitted it to the White House
However, no definite announcement
was made of such program There
was still considerable uncertainty
whether the Government will make
loans on the current crop, cotton
men said, partly because growers
have already sold large portion
of this crop and partly because it is
believed in many quarters that loans
on this crop would operate to in
crease the stocks of cotton in Gov
ernment hands.

Exporters said the war had cut of
supplies from Manchuria, which for
centuries has been the world S
principal soy bean producing area,
and that Europe has been forced to
depend more on the United States
for supplies.
Manchurian Crop Drops.
Aside from the fact that the
longer shipping distance from Man.
churia and increased insurance and
transportation costs as result of
the war help to divert business to
North America, Manchuria raised a
smaller crop this season. Produc-
ton has been estimated at 149, ,0OO,- =
600 bushels, compared with ITO, ,000,-
600 year ago.
Principal foreign buyers of United
States beans have been Denmark,
the United Kingdom, Norway,
Sweden, Holland and Belgium.
United States producers estimated
they have a crop in excess Of 80.-
100000 bushels, compared with ST.
1000 bushels last year. Prior to
1884 domestic production of soy
bean never exceeded 100000 900
bushels.

Poor Crop Prospects
Keep Wheat Prices
On Firm Basis
Light Cash Offerings
Also Market Factor
During Week
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
Poor crop prospects in the winter
wheat belt and light offerings of
this years grain by farmers have
kept domestic wheat prices on a
firm basis.
The Agriculture Department de-
scribed crop conditions as still un-
favorable in a number of important
areaA including the American
Southwest and parts of Hungary,
France and Germany Heavy rains
in Argentina were causing rank
growth and lodging of the crop, now
approaching harvest.
The department said the general
wheat situation remained unsettled
as a result Of the European conflict,
but saw no important changes in
supply and demand conditions. 1t
estimated that European overseas
imports this season may be about
5 per cent smaller than last years
imports of 295,0O0,000 bushels.
Domestic cash wheat markets ad-
vanced slightly last week, influenced
principally by relatively light re-
celpts. MarketingS Of winter wheat
remained relatively small and re-
ceipts at principal markets were less
than half of those for the corre-
spending week last year. Growers
were said to be selling slowly as a
result of the unfavorable new crop
outlook.
The department said competition
was rather keen among local and
outside mills and elevator interests,
particularly for the better grades,
which were scarce The quality of
most Of the offerings was rather
low, with considerable quantities of
Weevily wheat, it said
Corn markets became flrmed last
week, market receipts remained un-
usually small despite abundant sup
pies. Receipts at principal termi-
nails totaled about 100000 bushels
last week. Demand from feeders
and industries was moderate. with
tar quantities reported sold for eX-
port. Foreign shipments were esti-
mated at 100000 bushels.
Oats markets continued to main
tain a firm tone despite some in
crease in market receipts. Barley
markets declined about l to 2 cents
but good mellow mailing barley sold
fairly we'll at steady premiums. Rye
markets were unchanged to slightly
lower.
/ At Chicago December wheat
closed at 86as to 86l2 cents a bushel

Soy Bean Shipments
To Europe Break

Formers Of Midwest
Send Largest Crop
To Marker
BY the Associated Press,

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, Oct. 30.-European de-
mand for American soy beans, stim-
ulated partly by the war, is shatter-
ing all United States export records,
grainmen said today.
Traffic in beans, until a few years
ago a minor American crop, is ex-
panding rapidly as farmers in the
Middle West send the biggest
harvest they've ever produced to
market. Export business in beans
temporarily Is overshadowing that
in all grains, including wheat and
corn, and prices, at the highest Level
of the season, give the 1889 SOY
bean crop market valuation OF
approximately $75,0O0,000.
Exporters estimated that at cur
rent domestic prices of above sc
cents a bushel, 20 cents higher than
year ago. the foreign trade may
put more than $4,000, 900 into pro-
ducers' pockets this year and give
grain merchants and transportation
agencies a share of the business
They estimated that 10000, ,OO(
bushels of new beans may be cleared
to Eastern ports for export next
month and that for the full year
sales abroad may aggregate 49,.
000, 900 bushels.
Shipments Jump.
Last year the United States ex.
ported approximately $500 0OC
bushels and in 1897 about / 300 OO(
bushels. Prior to that this type Of
business was usually on a smaller
scale.
Since October l almost 5000 oO(
bushels have been cleared in lake
vessels from the Chicago area, ir
