COTTON.
New Tork. Oct. 5. 19M.
The advance In the cotton market to-day Is
attributed to buying on behalf of Mr. Sully,
who la apparently again bulling; the market,
this time simply from force of habit aa far
aa can be ascertained: certainly there Is nothing
la the present situation to Justify hither prices,
and In my opinion, every prospect of a decline
to at least I cents pound. The Government
report definitely assures a crop entirely suf
IkiI (or the world's needs, even at 9 cents,
and any movement that looks toward maln
tsjntna: the price of. cotton above that figure Is
ta my opinion fordoomed to failure.

Steady Profit-Taking in Many
Stocks Accompanies Session
of Bumor-Mongering.
New York, Oct . SpeculaUve attention
rtrertecl again to-day to the Northern Se
earitlci siettleinent question and Urilted
States Steel preferred was given over to a
strofit-taUnir 'movement. Tho gather em
phstflo offlclal denials that the corporation
waii" buying; 1U preferred stock for con
varsioa Into bonda, which was the nominal
cause, for the buoyant rise in that- stock
yssterday, roads It' natural that some Keil
lor should result to-day.
It was not a surprise to see the force of
tks day's rumor-mongrerlng shifted to the
northern Securities question, as these tiro
objects have shown unexhausted capacity
far stimulating; furious price movements.
Thsj movement centered In SL Paul to
day. Tlut stock seemed to reach no limit
ta Its flight. Its action was the direct out
oome of -the strength of Union Pacific and
of Southern Pacific on the exchange, and
ot Northern Securities on the curb.
UKCONFIRMED RUMORS.
To nsw phase, of to-day's rumors re-j
sjsxainr the settlement .of the dispute over
ttas distribution of the .Northern. Securities
sets wss that It involved the lodgment
of antral of Northern Pacific, which Is
the vital point In the contest. In the St
Ful. but not th faintest admission from
amy offlclal source or tho truth of tho re
start could be secured.
Itwa polntsd out that the legal contest
3;ae ha Question will of necessity be

tgsMucUry obllnatlons of tho Oregon
fAortXlne directors to the holders of their
nsrticIpaUnsr bonds. The extraordinary
5Hon of St. Paul In the market prevented
Hpr aiseredence of the reports
KoasB'tradlne'lncIdent to the movement
was:on an enormous scale, and involved
S2Lturi?" ta ten ot thousands of
wares. The movement elsewhere was
nomrate and was accompanied by steady
Moat-taking, not only In United 8tates
BJtei preferred, but In others which were

with Missouri Pacific a leader.
Pennsylvania, moved out of Its instabil
ity of '-yesterday, and shared In the ad
vance, althoua-h Its August statement was
not considered highly satisfactory owing
s.ite J5? 'ncrease in gross earnings
which had to be overcome by the re

'K th other hand, good August state
ments did not help Southern Railway,
Norfolk and Western or Chicago and Al-
tOsi
The Weather Bureau's weekly bulletin
on cotton somewhat modified the offset of
yesterday's Government estimate, and
the forecast of freezing weather and snow
In tho West and Northwest was a factor
In the day's markets.
MONET MARKET.
The money market continued tranquil,
but both the Government and the Inte
rior absorbed further large cash re
sources. Continental exchanges moved
agamst London, and gold was marked up
another fraction there. The stock market
hers closed unsettled and Irregular by
reason ot the exteht of the late proflt
taklnz movement. St. Paul's net gain was
CU.-1 point leas than the extreme advance.

close. The openlnr was easy at a decline of
5-fl0 points. Before midday Dec. had sold off
to 9 75c, and the general Uet to a net decline of
13317 points. Shortly after the publication of
the weekly crop bulletin, there was a eharp
rally. The story on the floor was that a leading
New Orleans operator, short before the bureau
report of yesterday, had coered and was swing
ing to the long. There was active covering,
which Inside of half an hour bad forced a rally
of ot er 25 points on the active months. Follow
ing this, leading bears, by offering quite large
blocks, managedr to get the list down to aJbout
or a little under last night's finals. In the late
trading the undertone was pretty ateady. The
market closed steady at a net gain of 235
points. Sales were estimated at 500,000 bales.

DECEMBER AND MAY WHEAT
CLOSE NEARLY ONE CENT LOWER
Slowly Growing Tendency To
ward Weakness Noticeable in
Market After Recovery
From First Break.
REPUBLIC SPECIAL.
Chlcauo, 111., Oct (.-Selling by tired
longs removed the peg at L135s1.1514. on
which the price of May wheat has been
hung at the close for three days, and
there waa a slowly growing tendency to
weakness In the market after a lc recov
ery from the first break.
At the close Slay was at the low point
of tho day, with a loss of iSiic, and Dec.
sWio loner. The trade was duller than
at any time since the advance to the
high point on the crop, and the fact that
tho buying earlier In the session had been
almost entirely professional, told ngainst
the price in the end.
At the opening, weakness at Minneapo
lis, lower cables and liberal receipts In the
Northwest, started the market on the
down grade. May declined 1Pc, but
Dec held relatively firmer, and good
buying of that delivery by some of the
longs, the. prediction of rain and snow
for the Northwest, reports of sales to
Eastern millers from Duluth and claims
of sales of H,000 bbls. flour for export at
Minneapolis were buying incentives on
the recovery.
L083 IN CASH PRICES.
Later weakness in outside markets as
well as local pit conditions caused the
final backset Southwestern cash prices
wprfl lnwfr A Knnflns Cltv wlro told Of
220 cars carried over from Monday, which.
couia not nave Dcen soia at less wan a.
3c decline. St. Louis cash was lio lower
at the close. At Minneapolis and Duluth
cash prices lost exactly the gain of the
day before, 4'a44c.
Flour demand at Minneapolis during the
last ten days has evidently been heavier
than reported, a Minneapolis wire claim
ing the largest sales on record to domes
tic millers September 24. 110,000 bbl. Sell
ing early In the session was by Bartlctt
Frazler, Lojan, Jackson Bros, and Ware
Leland. The final break wns caued by
liberal selling of May by Kneeland-Clem-ent-Curtls
and Wrcnn around $1.13. The
Armour Interest apparently neglected the
market
CORN ALSO GIVES WAY.
Corn was firm early In the session under
the lead of Dec. strength, based mainly
on better cash demand and occasional
buying by the bull houses. May advanced
?se and Dec. c. but the market was a
still one and finally gave way with wheat,
closing tjc lower for May and 4c higher
for Dec and Oct Cash prices were steady
to Vjc higher, with shipping sales of 250,000
bu.. Including 200.000 bu. No. 2 at 3Hc over
May In store. The prediction of unset
tled and cooler weather for the corn belt
lost, somo force because the' weekly Gov
ernment bulletin said all but E to 20 per
cent of the crop was now safe from frost
Receipts were 1&5 cars and 97 were esti
mated for to-morrow. The best selling
was by Bartlett-Frazier. Comstock and
Friedman. Wrenn bought Dec. early and
sold later, and there was fair buying of
May by Spencer.
Oats did not break with the other grains,
rfoKlnc- lip. fn tie hlrher. Dec. tho stronc-
eat- Triidi -am alow, but there was a fair
scattered demand from casn nouses ana
shorts and little selling pressure. Cash
was steady to He higher, sales for ship
ment 183,000 bu. Receipts were 232 cars,
and 134 are estimated.
Provisions were easy, a reaction partly
due to profit-taking and partly, to a smaller
trade. Lard led the decline and there was
selling of lard and ribs by smaller pack
ers. Hogs were higher and mostly light
weight and caEh demand holds up.

Big Increase in World's Visible
Weakens Market, Already De
pressed by Liberal North
western Eeceipts.
BT ASSOCIATED PRESS.
Chicago, Oct. 4. A big increase In the
world's visible supply weakened wheat at
tho close to-day. Liberal receipts In the
Northwest emphasized the depression.
Compared with last night's figure, Dec
wheat closed Wac lower. May Is oft
iST4e. Dec. corn is up c. Oats show a
gain of 'ic. Provisions are down 5c to

WHEAT.
Owing to smaller local receipts than ex
pected there was a fair demand for wheat
at the opening. Offerings were compara
tively light In consequence, a steady tone
was manifested. Dec wa3 a shade lower
to a shade higher at J1.13Vi to I1.13!J. May
opened HSKc lower to a shade higher at
$1.13ii to .1.1314.
For tho first few minutes pit traders and
commission houses were moderate buyers,
lec. selling up to JI.13V4 and May to tl.l3s4
1.135s. Liberal arrivals, however. In the
Northwest soon caused an active selling of
the Dec. delivery. A reaction followed,
Dec. declining to JL12W and May to 1.12i.
Later tho pit crowd bought back much
of the wheat sold earlier in the day. The
market assumed a firmer tone, an advance
of about c from the low point being
registered. Additional advices in regard
to reported record breaking sales of flour
In the Northwest and advices from Aus
tralia Indicating poor crop prospects, had
considerable influence in bringing out the
renewed demand.
Quick reversal In sentiment came, never
theless, with announcement of an increase
of 10,000.000 bu. in the world's available
stocks, the market being again subjected
to heavy selling pressure.
As a result, prices slumped and the feel
ing at tho close was weak, prices being
at the lowest point of the day. Final
quotations on Dec. were at IL12V4. May
closed at JL12i. Clearances of wheat
and flour were equal to 27.700 bu. Title
world's visible supply, according to Brad
street's Increased 10.000,000 bu. Primary
receipts were 1,390,400 bu., compared with
1,537,000 bu. a year ago. Minneapolis, Du
luth, and Chicago reported receipts of L
242 cars, against 1,032 cars last week and
1,194 cars a year ago.
CORN.
A decrease of 60 per cent in primary
receipts, compared with last year, counter
balanced the weakening effect of lower
prices of wheat, creating a firm tone In
corn.
r.oc.11 receipts also were pmailer than
estimated, and this fact aided the bulls
In an effort to support the market Dec
opened 'ic to He higher at Bl!4c to Blic,
sold up to 51; c and closed at ol'.ic. Local
receipts were 168 cars, with 14 of contract
grade.
OATS.
Oats were firm on good bujlng by cash
houses and on covering by shorts. The
strength of the cash article was a help
to speculative prices. Dec. opened Uc to
WSVic higher at 315403140 to 31ic, sold
between 315ic and SIVic, and closed at
31!i31?c. Local receipts were 232 cars.

PROVISIONS.
Small receipts of hogs and higher prices
at the yards caused a firm tone In pro
visions early In the day, but the market
weakened later on selling by brokers, sup
posed to be acting for local packers.
There was also some profit-taking by out

the depleted condition of many stocks makes
this warranted. Jobbers are only moderately

in tho volume of the world's visible supply. The movement of wneat MtaMprtta
and Duluth continued brisk. There were occasional relies In Chicago on the strength
of the cash situation, but very light speculative offerings were sufficient to rout the
bulls. The big professionals at no time were conspicuous in the pit and most of the
trading was bv scalpers and pikers. Commission nouses pracucauy iiu ---

WHEAT CLOSES EASY

OUTSIDE INTEREST IS VERY
LIGHT.
Lack of Support Causes a Decline
in Corn Despite Light
Receipts.
Wheat values eased off toward the end
ot a rather desultory session yesterday.
There was not enough outside speculative
Interest to keep values on the upturn and,
aside from cold weather in the North
west, there was little encouragement for
the bulls. Receipts here and at llln
neapoila were large, though the primary
total was a little smaller than last year.
Cables showed some early strength, but
closing foreign prices wero rather easy.
