Reports and rumors are current to 4he effect that some of the large weavlug plants will shortly be iu the market for .supplies as they hare orders- on their books for the finished goods which will shortly fall due and have practically used up their supplies of yarns, on the other hand, coy- tracts which dealers madn with spinners at higher prices are now falliug due, and as the spinners are llTlng up to their con tracts the dealer Is compelled to accept deliveries, while at. the same time ho Is not finding a market for these yarns as he ex pected to, when the yarns were contracted for. ^ In the knitting yarn division of the mur prices are weak and little new business jfng booked.

Although the glnnera’ report waa bullish, being 4,167,000. agalnat 6.906.000 laat year, tbla did not prevent a decline right at the opening which carried the near montha close to 10c again. The feeling was pessimistic and traders switch ed to the bear side on the appearance of liquidation. Banking conditions, South and Kouthwrat, are under great strata, money collections are very alow and this Interferes with the natural movement of commodities. Receipts therefore ebow a falling off all around. The detailed flgurea by states of the glnnera’ report show a falling off In Texas of over 1,900,000 bales, aa compered with last year. We look for feverish mar ket with tbo outlook for higher prices very uncertain. Print Cloth Market Quiet.

NEWS AND GOSSIP Of the Fleecy Staple. (From Hayward, Vick ft Clark.) Chicago, Nov. 8.—Bartlett, Frasier ft Car rington: The foreign news la bullish In Its come and until wo are more certain we would not udvlse large commitments ou cither sldo of the market. Receipts of coarse grains arc very small, but the demand also Is limited. There are some signs of n better Eastern demand, wing to stocks running very low. Crowd selling wheat on 3:15 p. m. Liver pool. 2% to 3%d lower. Chicago Record-Herald: "I think w« can buy plenty of hogs this winter at 4c,” said ’. Ogden Armour. ‘'All this lire stock has ot to sell very much'lower. We must get Jown to n basis where living will be more economical. Everything has neon ou a very high scale, nnd 1'think llvr>stock.Mn par* tleiflsr must sell lower. ThW ’ will'ulti mately reflect Itself to the consumer. The farmer Is the fellow who has been getting the high prices for his product, and ho will have to be satisfied to sell them on u cry much lower basis, fn my opinion.” Mall advleea to receivers from Iowa and Illinois grain dealers Indicate that the re cent decline In prices and the resort to clearing house certificates has combined to make very small offerings of grain from the farmer. The latter Is In position to hold his grain, and’thus far has preferred to do so. A number of receiving houses hnro received not s single, notlco of grain consignments yesterday. Winnipeg's weakness In wheat la haring considerable effect not onlv on the north west trade, but here anu In Europe as well. The decline shows that tho grain Is now pressing on the buyer. A short time since the conditions were precisely the reverse. There Is such a large propor tion of low grade wheat In the Canadian northwest that It la likely td be 1 pretty effective price maker for some time.

With the exception of a small area Iu the western lake region ami the upper Missis sippi valley, there has been a general In- crease In air pressure over the entire coun try In the last 24 hours.

The reaction was quits orderly and no great anxiety mani fested. A hardening of the market should come today after some Irregularity In early trading. The heavy gold arrival* will begin to play a part In the situation. Consolidated Uaa Is showing effects of the expected adverse decision to 80c gas. The matter rests on what can be ealled confiscation and the, company'a main con tention waa that the 80c rate was practi cally confiscation. ’ acts better In view financial situation. weak again. The standard rails, __ other hand, are showing reslatsuce. Con solldsted Gas continue* strong and could be easily advanced. Town Topic*: The foreign situation will likely lead to more selling this morning, nnd we look for lower prices In flic early trad ing. At tho Mine time banking support will be forthcoming to prevent any nctual demoralisation. As the short Interext Is now somewhat extended, we look for n rather sharp rally before the close. Couse- believe It advisable to buy the _ the rails on the moderate decline for turns. In this connection we particularly recommend Union Pacific, Rending aud the Hill Issues. American Smelting, In view of yesterday’s decline, also affords nn oppor tunity for profitable operations on the loug side. We expect further foreign liquida tion In Canadian Pacific, which Is destined to sell considerably lower, as It is still out of line with securities of at least as great merit. The short side of this stock, how ever. Is quite dangerous, as past history has proved. Conditions In the Interior are still grave and Increasing bank rates abroad are likely ns long as our gold demand con tinues. which will still further complicate affairs In tturope. Until the financial situa tion becomes clearer nothing better than a trading market eau reasonably l»e hoped for. and we recommer -——*-• **— *- •— lug when the n moderate profits.

New Orleans, Nov. 8.—The Timea-Demo- crat saya: “Yesterday's cotton market re flected much professional bearish sentiment. There were more rumors of financial trou bles. Big concerns with discounts maturing were experiencing difficulty in securing ex tensions. Both London ami Paris raised their bank discount rates. New York bears were reported calling original margins as was on a boom. F. n. b. offerings from the Interior were few and far between lie-i cause the lack of cash throttled such busi ness at Its source. Hlmllar conditions ex isted at all Southern ports, consequently ex porters seut buying order* to New Orleans, where spirt cotton might be seenred In ex- i liauge for bank checks.
