BIG SPOT DEMAND
SENDSCOTTDNUP
Heavy Buying Prevails Entire
Day—U. S. Report Bullish
and Stimulating Factor.
NEW YORK, Nov. 8. - A favorable
weather map and weak cables caused the
cotton market to open barely steady, with
prices ranging from 2 points higher to 11
points lower than last night's close. Im
mediately after the opening 1 he/govern
rnent issued its census report on the
amount of bales ginned to November 1,
placing figures at 8,849,898 bales
This report came about as expected,
but the market was suddenly struck with
short covering and heavy buying from
spots people, and prices jumped to 27
points in active months from the early
range. after the call a general
selling wave prevailed, which was said
to be for protlt-taking, but prices held
firm at 8 to 10 points advance from the
previous close
Enormous spot demand and heavy
short covering during the late forenoon
trading checked the downward trend,
causing a sudden and rapid advance,
which resulted in I tecember jumping to
11.92, against an opening of 11.53, a net
gain of 39 points. January crossed the
12c level, going to 12 05 March rallied
to 12.25, while the remaining positions
aggregated a 25 to 32-point advance. The
chief influences for the heavy buying
was due to crop estimates being lowered,
combined with some outside bulls con
tending that with the present world’s
consumption the yield will be below re
quirements.
The census report was regarded as a
bullish factor and was used as a stimu
lating effect upon the market The feel
ing, however, is that a reaction is due,
but with the prevailing spot demand a
setback is not in line unless big spot
interests should throw their holdings
upon the market
At the close the market was steady,
with October 2 points higher and other
positions showing a net gain of 11 to 22
points from the final quotations <»f Thurs
day.

CH A R LES W. STORM.
YORK, Nov. 9.—Demoralization
prevailed In the stock market at the <>|>en
ing today in consequence of disquieting
cables, which emphasized the possibility
?< f a diplomatic imbroglio in Europe over
the Balkan war.
General declines were made throughout,
the international stocks being the worst
sufferers. Cables from London stated that
the British market w«s heavy and that
prices there were off although they ral
lied at the close.
Among the declines scored here in the
nrst fifteen minutes were United States
Steel % to %, Amalgamated Copper %
American Smetlfng % to %, Erie pre
ferred 1, International Harvester %,
Northern Pacific %. American Beet Sugar
Chesapeake and Ohio ■%, American

I-’ Canadian Pacific 1, Southern Pacific
U Missouri Pacific % to Union Pa
cific to 1. Reading, after opening 7 «
lower, lost % additional. Lehigh Valley
also sustained a loss of L.
Americans had been sold heavily in the
London market before the New York
market opened. Afterwards a number of
selling orders were cabled here from Lon
don, Berlin and Paris.
The curb opened easier.
Americans in London were irregular and

IN STOCK MARKET
Business Inclined To Be Reac

vanced V». Atchison was % up at the
start. Missouri Pacific, after opening un
changed, moved up %.
There was a fair amount of trading at
the opening.

Americans in London were quiet.
Selling of stocks in the late forenoon
and further pressure was sustained In

a point to 76%, and similar declines were
noted in American Smelting, Amalga

I NEW Y( »RK, Nov. B.—N. L. Carpenter
I & Co.: The ginning figures were below
I expectations, and while opening was quiet
and trading light there was uneasiness
among the shorts soon after the call. Sev
eral brokers came in with buying orders
which started a wave of short covering
and the advance was rapid. Selling looked
to come mostly from longs.
Crop estimates are being lowered and
some contend today’s figures do not in
dicate a crop of over 13,500.000 at the out
side.
The main strength to the market today
was chiefly due to the covering by shorts
after the government issued its report on
the amount of ginned bales as of Novem
ber 1. Fell interest was said to have been
a good buyer throughout the day.
The census report was regarded as bull
; ish and you may get a little reaction at
• any time; then I favor buying. (Signed)

Interest at this time, the fate of the bull

When the price of contracts declines the
consumer wants to buy. When the price
of contracts advances the basis declines
and the exporter wants to buy. In this
way the merchant is enabled to sell cot
ton for forward delivery at a basis that
is attractive to the consumer, buy a con
tract hedge, and later on, buy in the
actual stuff at a basis attractive to him
self. Against the risk of price fluctua
tions the merchant enjoys the protection
of future hedges, but he has no protec
tion against basis fluctuation. Neverthe
less, the busy consumer is always en
deavoring to reduce the price, while the
emancipated farmer is always endeavor
ing to punch it sky high. In the case of
the better grades the’weather has greatly
assisted the fanner both last year and
