Oct. 10.—The Sun says: "The outside public had little to do with the market yesterday. Room operators bid It up on the shorts, assisted by a frost scare.

If nothing more than that happens, a decline will not l»e surprising. Several small shorts in Alexandria, Egypt, went to the wall, which partly accounted for the strength of the Liverpool market, but certain oper ators here Incline, nevertheless, to the short side on the ground that tbe crop damage has 1»een overestlmotod and the recent ndvnnoe overdone.

QIBERT & CLAY'8 DAILY COTTON LETTER New Orleans, Oct. 10.-The Improvement abroad was attributed to the advent of frost In Tennessee nml the territories. However, there was also nn exceptionally large business being (lone lu Manchester, according to another source of Informa tion. nnd a most fnvornble opinion of the market existed In consequence. Options gained 3$4 points over yesterday’s close, nnd spot sales were 5,000 toilet at T prints higher. The late unfavorable condition of the weather ns affecting the crop has con siderably reduced the snort Interest In the market, and has. at the same time, created excellent buying on the part of outside »• terests. This healthful activity naturally hna given considerable Impetus to the range of values nnd created n mV wide- spread Interest In market affairs, the real ization today of yesterday s forecast for frost In the northern part of the l»elt wna almost entirely rc*|M»n*lble Itor the en hancement In values.

It - will show the condition of corn for October nnd tho yield per acre of spring wheat, oats, rye and barley. The trnde Is looking for a moderately bullish report on spring wheat, 250,000.000 to 269,000,000 bushels, h corn crop of 2,760,000,OCK) bushels, which Is the same as a month ago, nnd a yield of oats of soo.ooo.ooo to _S5o.ooo.ooo bushels. A yield of J4 bushels per acre on spring wheat will show 252.000.000 bushels and 14.7 bushels, the yield laat year, will give a crop of 264,000,000 bushels. It will tnke a con dition of 90 to maintain laat month’s esti mate on corn. A yield of 30 bushels per acre for oats will give 830,000.000 bushels. I*nst year It was 34 bushels. The condition of corn lost month was 90.2, and in Octo ber, Inst year, 89.2. The onts crop of France has turned out disappointingly, being officially estimated at 312,100,000 bushels, or 10,000,000 bushels leas than last year, and cables say many think tills year’s estimate la exaggerated. This was a feature on the buying aide of oats yesterday. Onts are aelliug too high In proportion to corn, according to thi regular ratio of values. May oats are 354c, which Is equnl to 322.18 a tou. May corn at 434c equals 815.46 a -ton. showing oats 16.72 higher than corn. On this basis, It ' figured that It Is lnstter for the farmers > sell their onts and feed more «»ru.

TONE WAS STRONG Union Pacific Was Strongest Stock on Its Au gust Report. New York, Oct. 10.—The compara tive unconcern of tho markets over de velopments in the money situation was tested again this morning when the German bank advanced its discount rates to 6 per cent. This la an ex tremely high figure to be set, even for this season of the year, and little doubt was toft that the Bank of England would follow suit tomorrow with an In crease In Its rate. The tone In the security market was tame. The English Investments were steady and American stocks, despite the heavy carry-over set for the fort nightly settlement, were quoted frac tionally above our closing parity. The local shares opened strong and once more the feature of the dealings was the concentration of the buying on a few stocks with some really notable re sults. Pennsylvania, Smelters and the other favorites of yesterday's trading made further gains at the outset and were then abandoned to realizing, white the Pacific stocks, St. Paul and North western were taken in hand and bid up smartly. The basis for the movemant In Union Paclflc was the August report of the company, Issued at midday, showing a handsome Increase both in gross and net. and furthermore 'the expecation that the annual report, soon to be made public, will set at rest all doubt as to the ability to maintain the 10 per cent dividend rate. The stock market opened Irregular. Locomotive, Union Pacific, Lead and General Electric advanced 1-2; Smelt ing 3-8 and Pennsylvania, Republic Steel and Canadian Pacific 1-8. Cop per, Baltimore and Ohio, Brooklyn Rapid Transit and the Steel shares were unchanged. Colorado Fuel oft 1-2 and Atchison and Reading 1-8. The stock market was generally strong again today, witfi speculation on the bull side confined to a few stocks. In which the buying was con centrated, leaving the bulk of the mar ket without special feature. Union Paclflc was the strongest stock, ad vancing 3-4. London bought 12,000 shares this morning. * * Government bonds unchanged. Other bonds firm. THE LONDON STOCK MARKET, STOCKS- Amalgaumteii Copper. . . , Aiuienaito Atchison do, preferred. .. .
