Os the Fleecy Staple
NEW YORK. Oct. 16.—Carpenter. Bag
got ft Co.: There was very little cotton
for sale today, and this was a chief fac
tor fcr the short covering The demand
continued good throughout the day.
Spot interests have been among the
most aggressive parties of the day, but
no spinners demand was reported.
Dallas wires: "Texas—Generally cloudy
and damp; San Antonio reports raining
since yesterday afternoon: drizzling rain
at Jacksonville, Athens, Mount Pleasant,
Merkel: raining at Eastland all night;
light rain at Nacogdoches. Oklahoma—
Generally fair; 40 to 56 above.
The market was bought today on storm
news, but the crowd was inclined to sell
on all rallies and pay little attention to
anything bullish.
McFadden, Mitchell, Springs. Riordan
were sellers on declines. Bashford, Shear
son and Waters best buyers and those
who sold yesterday v ere buyers. Market
has little snap.
Political news abroad better todav, but
btillish influences seem to have little ef
fect on market, as sentiment continues
extremely bearish. Trade buying has
been principal support today.
Following are 11 a. m bids: Octo
ber 19.06. December 10.32, January 10.38,
March 10.57.
NEW ORLEANS. Oct. 16.—Hayward &
Clark: The weather map Is favorable,
showing partly cloudy to fair in central
and eastern states; only few light sprin
kles. Mississippi rainy; misty weather in
Texas. Gcenral precipitation, mostly light
in Texas, except south portion, where it
is heavier. Storm formation touching
south Texas indicated course over Rio
Grande into Mexico. Indications are for
partly cloudy to fair in central and east
ern states; misty, rainy weather in west
ern states Storm over mouth of Rio
Grande will in all probability move up
that river into Mexico. No danger for
belt indicated.
Official sources report from Browns
ville. Tex., says: "Severe storm here.
About ten houses blown dwon. Wind
blowing about 60 miles per hour. Corpus
Christi, very heavy blow. Telegraph poles
blown down and general damage. Claimed
part of dock at Aransas Pass gone.
Heavy rains well scattered over the state.
Damaging open cotton."
Liverpool reports covering of large short
lines today.
Extensive cold wave formation in north
west. but will hardly be felt before be
ginning of next week.
Storm warning: Hurricane warning or
dered for Texas coast.
The New Orleans Times-Democrat says:
Neither the talent nor the trade is now
devoting much time or attention to the
ultimate questions of supply and require
ment, as both are kept full busy with
price factors and market phases that af
fect the present rather than the future.
Nevertheless, since the preponderance of
evidence bearing upon distant develop
ments distinctly favors the bearish cause,
provided, of course, that the crop Is to
prove a fairly large one and the equi
poise of trade Is to receive some sort of
a telling jolt from the complicated state
the. political affairs of Europe have fallen
into, the follower of the bearish banner
now feels little or no concern over the
outcome.
For these reasons, the cotton market
appears helpless and largely friendless at
times However, the declines are far
more gradual than the extreme big crop
low price people believe are justified by
current environment, a fact which opens a
question of cause and effect. As most
cotton market operators are bearish to
the core, and as no pronounced opposi
tion to declines is in evidence, the spec
ulative seller is probably restrained only
by a lingering fear of a repetition of his
disastrous experience in an oversold mar
ket during the spring and early sum
mer of >912. therefore he is not selling
himself into a hole now. Whether this
fear will become abated under the in
fluence of slack demand for the actual,
the spread of Europe's war fever and
the accumulation of unsold stocks on this
side, or whether it Is so deep rooted as to
endure, thereby avoiding the conditions
that caused the trouble of the short crowd
last spring, remains to be seen.

FOREIGN SITUATION CAUSES
NARROW TRADING IN GRAIN
CHICAGO. Oct 16.—The Inter-Ocean
says:
"Security markets have had their liqui
dation and war scare, but the grain trade
is constantly on edge, fearing new de
velopments of an unfavorable character.
The trade in general has assumed a
scalping position and is operating for
small profits. The war scare has pre
vented heavy selling of corn by the
bears and no one has out a big line of
shorts, while the best interests in the
trade are Inclined to be bullish, believing
that reserves of old corn will be well
cleaned out and the movement of new
corn will be taken care of in the first two
or three months, which wi'l prevent accu
mulation of supplies.”
COTTON MARKET OPINIONS.
Thompson. Towle & Co.: "The only
thing bullish In the market Is that It Is
a condition to advance on any favorable
developments.”
Havden. Stone & Co: "Ihe market
shows ver' little recuperative power.'
Morris H. Rothschild ft t o.; We see
nothing to encourage higher prices and
would sell on all advances.”

Prices at Close.

NEW YORK. Oct. 16.—Irregularity pre
vailed over the cotton market here at
the .opening, with the tone steady and
first prices ranging from unchanged to 5
points lower to 3 points higher than last
night’s close. A sudden aggressive move
ment predominated at the outset on a
hurricane warning ordered sent over Tex
as. and the storm apparently approaching
the south Texas coast with increasing in
tensity. and prices quickly regained the
initial decline, advancing some 5 to 9
points above the opening figures. After
the call the market was well supported,
with a good demand and very little cot
ton for sale.
The buying on the opening was chiefly
contributed to shorts and a few scattered
spot interests and brokers with foreign
connections, but this buying did not last
throughout the morning session, as there
was a wave of liberal selling from many
different sources such as some of the
largest operators were prominent sellers.
Ihe principal feature of today's trading
was the covering of shorts on the very
unfavorable weather map indicating a
cold wave coming over the western belt,
but it will hardly be noticeable before the
beginning of next week, but the market
found ready sellers on all upturns. It was
reported that the South continues to
liquidate here and prices during the aft
ernoon trading was an aggregate of 1 to 5
points above the previous close. At times
rhe market was dull and featureless and
prices continued to sag throughout the
late trading around the initial figures.
Cables receive] from abroad of the po
litical situation was optimistic, but the
bullish reports seem to have had very lit
tle influence on the market.
At the close the market was steady
with prices displaying irregularity, being
1 to 5 points higher to 1 to 4 points lower
than the closing prices of Tuesday.

HAYWARD & CLARK’S
DAILY COTTON LETTER
NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 16.—Press re
ports from Paris and Londori showed a
more hopeful tone today. They state that
great satisfaction is felt in diplomatic
circles over the conclusion of peace be
tween Italy and Turkey and that all ef
forts will be directed to localizing the war
to the Balkans. An ultimatum by Greece,
Servia and Bulgaria is expected today.
Whether this expression of optimism is
well founded, or merely inspired to stem
to the financial demoralization remains to
be seen.
Liverpool reflected the change in a
steadier market with futures about 4
points better than due. Spots 10 points
lower.
Our market opened a few points better
and was well sustained by a more gen
eral demand as the result of the threaten
ing weather is the west and better politi
cal foreign reviews, but New York seemed
flat and depressed in the first hour by
heavy selling which checked the recovery
here. Corpus Christi and Brownsville,
Texas, reported severe storm and this
news caused an advance of 10 points in'
the second hour. The market In the next
36 hours will depend on weather develop
ments and particularly the course which
the southeast Texas storm will take.

NEW YORK. Oct. 17.—Strength in
Liverpool cables, which was said to be on
the buying of those who had sold on
war news, caused the cotton market here
to open steady, with prices ranging from
8 to 11 points above last night’s close.
During the first fifteen minutes the mar
ket was under general buying by shorts
and local spot houses and prices sagged
about the opening range. After the call,
a sudden selling wave prevailed In face
of the Gulf storm passing Inland over
extreme southern Texas and the barome
ter rising on the coast. This selling re
sulted In prices declining 4 to 10 points
from the opening, with the exception of
October, whic^'remained unmoved.
Futures in l.iv \ jrOol were quiet and

GRAIN.
CHICAGO. Oct. 17.—Fractional price re
cessions were made in wheat In sympathy
with the bearish markets abroad, coupled
with favorable weather for the movement
of the northwestern crop. While there
was a falling off in the northwestern re
ceipts as compared with a week ago they
were more than double those of a year
ago. Winnipeg receipts were considerably
in excess of comparative periods. A spe
cial Liverpool cable says that some un
easiness was shown in the Liverpool mar
ket over the Balkan affair.
Corn was unsettled, opening lower, but
gaining strength with wheat, and it was
soon above the resting spots of last night.
Receipts here are light, but the cash de
mand is at a standstill.
Oats wore a shade lower and the mar
ket was Inactive.
Hogs were lower and the provision mar
ket was off a trifle in consequence.

CHICAGO. Oct. 16.—Wheat was off l%c
this morning on the increased offerings
which were driven out of the hands of
holders because of the sharp losses at
Liverpool and the fact that there is less
apprehension felt regarding the Balkan
matter. While Northwestern receipts
were considerably smaller than a week
ago they were much larger than a year
ago. Weather in the Northwest is favor
abb: for threshing and movement, and
heavy receipts are looked for.
Corn was % to %c lower early on the
declines at Liverpool, which reflect the
weakness Huenos Ayres and fine weather
conditions throughout the belt.
Oats were %c lower on advices of heav
ier receipts.
Hog products were off with grain and
hogs.

Above quotations apply to com-ted
hogs Mash and peanut fattened hogs
l@l%c lower.
Cattle receipts nominal with a better se
lection of steers than usual. Several loads
of good fleshy butcher cattle with quite a
good many good grade heifers were among
the week's receipts, which .sold promptly
at prevailing quotations to a shade higher
on the best. Cow stuff in good flesh is in
good demand, while the lower grades are
a slow sale at lower prices.
Several loads of feeders were received
this week, which met with a good de
mand and quick sale. Quite a good many
feeders were on through billings to near
by points, although the movements of
feeders are considered light for the sea
son and the present indications point to a
short supply owing to the advance prices
In Tennessee, ami other sections where
feeders are obtained.
Quotations on cotton seed meal ami
hulls are reasonable, and it is expected
that stock men securing a good grade of
feeding steers will do well with them this
season.
Sheep and lamb receipts Irregular, and
quality uneven and mixed: market is
stronger on best grades of lambs, slow
on common kinds.
Ilog market continues strong with lib
eral supply; quality of this week's run has
be* 11 the best of the season, and extreme
high prices tor all fresh pork cuts ha-
Improved the demand for light butchei
pigs.
