COTTON REGION BULLETIN. .1 20120 | 21086 WARE A LELAND'S DAILY GRAIN LETTER Chicago, oct. 4.—Wheat—A little selling appenred early, due to Increased spring wheat receipts, and disappoint- Ing Liverpool cables, but there was commission house buying of December that started the crowd to cover while the nppearnnee of strength In North western nnd Patten buying In Minne apolis Induced same results here. Ad vantage was taken of the upturns, however, to dispose of long wheat, and It was not very well taken, although on the breaks nnd around 75 cents De cember shorts were disposed to cover. The market was very dull, with senti ment somewhat mixed over the export situation at the seaboard, as well as the spring wheat movement, not enough interest being manifested by out-of-town operators to take a hand In the operations, hence not' much more than a scalping market can he expect ed. and should prices weaken material ly. will allow of purchases being made. Com- Trade was very light, and with receipts light cash houses sold moderately, while Kansas City advices were bearish over an increasing move ment In the Routhwest. <>ats—The market was firm, with good buying of the December kind, which started shorts to covering. The Ohio crop report of 46,000,000 bushels, against 48.1)00,000 lost year, attracted out little attention and there was good commission house buying.

REALIZING OF PROFITS WA8 CAU8E OF DECLINE New York. Oct. 4.—The Sun says: "Real izing of profits hnd more than anything else to do with the decline here and In New Orleans and Liverpool. Thar* was nothing surprising about that, after the almost phenomenal advances of 1st*. Not a little of the selling, however, both at home and abroad, was against actual cot ton transactions. Rears were emboldened to sell again; the New Orleans estimate for today is rather Inrge, even of those for Houston nnd Galveston are not. and the weaker tnke It all In, and there waa levs threatening. "Yet some ruins were reported In the central portion of the belt, and also lu the Atlantic states, nnd reports are per sistent thnt the recent big storm did s good ileal of damage. I|ow much is not easr to determine, but bears Insist that oven If what they regard ns an extreme estimate of dOO.OOu bales, should prove true, there would still l>e nn nmple supply to meet the world's requirements, and leave a good five days.

"Wall street and other bulls, the South, New Orleans. Liverpool, and, In fact, pretty much everybody who operates In cotton, sold not only ItecsuM the weather In the main was better, but also because a rcac-. tlon seemed to lie due after a rise of 15) advance of 4 cents ^ _ points. Manchester spinners are evidently J price paid tor thla yei more dispose.! to buy."—Glbert A Olay. * * y GENERAL LIST RULES STRONG New York, Oct 4.—Real buying and real selling alike were at a minimum in today's market. Such operations oa those were originated with the profes sional traders, and among this class there appenred to be a pronounced dl- vialon or opinion as to the Immediate drift of prices. At some moments the market presented an appearance of heaviness, and at other moments an appearance of strength, but the fore noon In reality was occupied with a series of fitful fluctuations within an extremely narrow range. Neither faction of professional deal ers, one working for a rise and the other for a decline, seemed strong enough to moke any headway, and by midday prices were within small frac tions of where they left off last night. The failure of the Bank of England directors to advance the discount rate helped the foreign markets, but had little influence here. With the set tling down of call money to a 6 per cent basis and with the almost entire disappearance of the premiums on time loans, the money question no longer played a part In speculative calcula tions.

STOCKS REVIEWED BY NEW YORK SUN New York, Oct. 4.—The Bun says: The stock market was generally weak yester day, nearly all the prominent Issues declin ing to a greater or less extent. Ths pre vailing explanation of the fall was the speculative dlsapoplntment that existed over the failure of the directors of the Atchison to Increase the annual dividend on the company's common stock «at their meeting yesterday to • per cent. Ultra con servatism has. It seoms. triumphed In the Atchisons' counsels, nnd there can hardly be any doubt of course that In the long run vesterday's decision will not be regretted. The development led to a considerable essenl * — mated In the the price opper dividend would be eohtrged tear future, while a sharp fall In e of United States Rubber com-. active, waa taken as an Indication that these stories bad not bad an over-stable foundation. Finally the rank and file of market oper ators were nlslnly perturbed a little over ths lack or an official announcement lu the matter of the supposed lease of ore lands by the Great Northern railway to the United States Steel Corporation. Whether as a result of these factors or from the mere sweeping over the market of a waive of pessimism, started by unseen causes, there was largs selling of stocks throughout ths day, with a final record of losses lu prices at the close, sa described.—Glbert 4 prices Clay.
