HAYWARD & CLARK’S
DAILY COTTON LETTER
NF At ORLEANS., Oct. 1- The Journal
of commerce surprised the trade with a
njKn condition average of 70.3 against
(.0,8 last year.
Foreign political news show a very
critical situation. London says very lit
tle is needed to start a war in the Balk
ans. This may lead to a general upset
in Europe. The weather map shows bet
ter conditions; fair in northern half
cloudy southern half: no frost or rain, ex
cept little rain on the immediate coast
Indications for partly cuoudy to fair and
warmer in the northwest: cooler in the
southeast; possibly some rain in the east
ern gulf and southeastern Atlantic dis
tricts. There is a storm formation in the
gulf, but so far there is enough high
pressuri over the continent to keep it
at sea.
Our market opened a little lower and
remained flat. Trading small; no disposi
tion to increase short committments be
fore bureau day apd a little short cov
ering rallied prices.

Market Stagnates Early. But
Heavy Buying in Last Hour
Causes Reaction.
1 ——— —
By CHARLES W. STORM.
NI-.AA YORK. Oct. 1. —Weakness was
i 'he dominant factor in the stock market
at the opening today, with Canadian Pa
cific sustaining a loss of 1%. the biggest
declinq among the standard Issues. Tra
ders assigned several causes for the
weakness, among them the Balkan sit
uation and the raised call monej- rate,
which followed the calling of loans by
banks for the payment of dividends and
interest on stocks and bonds today,
amounting to mere than $170,000,000.
The initial weakness was Immediatelj’
followed bj- a reaction and a number of
stocks made material gains. The buying
movement gave an appearance of irregu
larity. United States Steel common
opened % off. but made up % of the
loss. Amalgamated Copper showed the
same decline. Among the other declines
on first sales were Erie common %. Read
ing %, American Smelting •%. Missouri
Pacific %, Union Pacific %, Southern Pa
cific %
The curb market was irregular.
The London market was depressed bj
the Balkan outlook, reflecting the sen
timent of all the continental bourses.
Americans there were heavy and Cana
dian Pacific was weak on general selling.
in the late afternoon trading a number
of the important issues made substantial
gains, although selling on a large scale
continued to come from London. The tone
held firm.
The market closed firm: government
bonds unchanged: other bonds steady.

Corn 69% "
Oats 33 @ 33%
CHICAGO. Oct. 1.-- Wheat opened
strong in tone and from %c to %c higher
In price today, mainly on strong cables,
which caused a good buy ing demand. The
strength in Liverpool was attributed to
the Balkan war wfare and to an im
proved demand for American and Cana
dian wheat. Russian offerings were alsc
firmer.
Corn was firm and a shade higher al
the opening, but prices eased off under
free offerings.
Oats were steadv to a shade higher.
Demand was fair at the start.
Provisions were firm and higher. Sym
pathj- with strength In wheat was tin
main factor. The war scare helped.
Wheat showed net advances of %c t«
■qc for the day and closed around the
best prices reached. There was onlv a
small business in cash wheat, total sales
amounting to 10.000 bushels. Clearances
for the day were again liberal at. 647.-
000 bushels, but this was mainly old
sales.
Corn closed %c to %c lower. Corn
was under considerable pressure and was
almost completely without recuperative
power. There were sales of 80.000 bush
els of cash corn and 110,000 bushels of
cash oats.
Oats were unchanged to %c lower.
The provision market was a surprise
to everybody, as it was generallv believed
this morning that with the free delivery
of lard here tnere would be a price set
back. but instead of a decline there was
an advance.
