Forecast Has j Small Effect on Prices of Cotton Close Is Very Steady at a I\i:t Advance of 31 to 41 Points; Little Southern Hedge Selling Reported ' The last of the regular monthly gov? ernment reports was published in the otton market yesterday without any pprec??ble effect on prices. The re i.rt showing a condition of 60 nnd an indicated crop of 10,135,000 bales was very rlosely in line with the nver age of recent private reports, and had Bvidentiy boon pretty well discounted. The report showing S.883,006 bales ginned prior to Septerhber SE was a shade smaller than expected, and would probably have been reconciled with even a lower estimate of a total crop, as the trade be? lieves thnt tho crop has been much more rapidly picked than usual. After selling up to 80.95o, on those reports, however, December broke to 20.50c under realizing, after which it ??-covered a good part of the, loss on claims that a 1 filling move? ment was beginning to develop In tho South. These claims were colored by the smaller volume of Southern hedge selling reported around the ring, nnd tho market clo. cd very steady at net advances of 31 to 43 points. The market opened firm at an advance of 20 to 28 points on the rather lighter ginning than expected, relatively firm Liverpool rabies and a feeling that the firmer early tone of the stock market re? flecte?! confidence in a peaceful solution of the near Eastern difficulties. There may also have been some buying on a possi? bility thnt a weather disturbance in the. Gulf would cause unsettled conditions along the central Gulf coact, and tho mar? ket sold about 40 to 55 points net hither right after the publication of the crop figures. It almost Immediately eas?d, however, as the report failed to stimulate any aggressive buying, and trading was very quiet during the middle of the day and early afternoon. Near, months lost nil their tarly advance, but the later de? liveries held a shade over Monday's clos? ing figuren, and th? entire market firmed up late, closing at rallies of 50 to 35 points .rom the lowest. On the basis of last rear's returns this ."e.i on's ginnlngs would point to a. crop of about 10.C00.000 bales. but many In the trade believe that nearly , 40 per cent of the total crop was ginned to September 25 this year, and that tho yield might yet prove below 3 0.000,000 bales. Southern spot markets as officially reported were unchanged to 35 points higher, with middling quotations ranging from 3 9.50c to 20.75c.

Cotton Report About as Expected By William Wriittam All things considered, tho cotton con? dition report ar of September 25, offi? cially put at 50 per cent, is not dis? quieting from the point of yiew of what the trade expected. Unofficial forecasts averaged 50.8, wbiic the aver? age guess of eighty-one members of the New York Cotton Exchange came remarkably close to the official figure, being 50.1 per cent. The indicated yield per acre of 139.2 pounds is a ? satisfactory increase, over the final yield of only 124.5 pounds last, reason; and. although the indicated crop of 10,135,000 bales is much larger than the final count of 7,953,641 bales last year, it, cannot be considered as at all reassuring in the light of the fact that the consumption of American cotton in all countries during the six months ended July 31 last was 5.947,000 bales, which was at the rate of 11,894,000 bales for the year, or 1,759,000 bales more than the indicated crop for this season. It is also to be borne in mind that ? the takings of the six months were ! from last year's crop and that they I were at the rate of 3,940,351 bales per j annum more than the production. In I other words, the first six months of j the current calendar year saw 75 per cent of the crop of the entire year used I wp; and, as exports are increasing, the ! protracted mill strike in Now England vh-tually over and the number of spin? dle hours in American mills increas ; ing, there is nothing cheerful in the I prospect of the crop now being picked, j predicted at 17 per cent below the | comparatively low rate of consumption ? durinrr the first half of 1922. Inci | dentally, as indicating the present ! status in this country, the consump i tion by American lnilla during August ] totaled 527,404 bales, an increase of j nearly 69,000 bales over July, and the largest reported in any month in the last two years. ; Government Estimate Is Cut 440,000 Bales This year's forecasts by months, with ' condition as of the 25th of the preccd i ing month, previous years' crop, with . condition en September 25 and the , acreage of these years follow; !

C?.ip. i?/ ?S Wheat Higher on Uneasiness Over, Eastern Parley Unlooked-For Strength in Liverpool Market; Heavy Speculative Buying of Corn Also a Factor. CHICAGO. Oct. 3.?Wheat prices de? veloped an upward tendency to-day, ow? ing- largely to uneasiness regarding tho outcome of fthe armistice conference at Mudania and as a result of heavy spec? ulative buying of corn. The market closed firm, % to l%c net higher. Corn gained % to l%c and oats 1% @1% to l%c. The finish in provisions wa? unchanged to 7 cents lower. Nervousness among wheat traders asso? ciated itself In particular with unlooked-for strength shown by tho Liverpool market, a circumstance difficult to harmonize with prospective peace at the Dardanelles. A decrease In the Canadian visible supply tola!, notwithstanding tho big movement of wheat from farms In Canada, was an additional bullish factor. Fresh estimates of world import requirements and of the 1922 Canadian yielil were of only tem? peran' effect In easing the market during the middle of the session. Bulges In the value of corn gave wheat much of the rene?ved upward Impetus toward tho close. Besides, a better flour trade was reported, together with higher premiums for wheat in position to be de? livered on the spot.
