IN EARLYTRADING
Discouraging Reports Con
cerning Steel Aids Later
Downward Trend
New York, November 6,—The main
movement In stocks today was decisively
downward although In the early trading
there was a small advance. In spite of
the markets showing of strength yes
terday, bulls were reluctant to take on
stocks fearing that sonic grave develop
ment in the Mexican situation might sud
denly upset the market. It was this In- ,
tluc-nce, in fact, which was most im
portant in determining the action of the j
market. Reports that the Huerta ad- j
ministration had decided to adopt a de
fiant attitude toward this government
were largely responsible for the sharp
dip In the thurket. Mexican petroleum
and National Railways of Mexico seconds
preferred were especially weak.
Further discouraging reports from the
steel trade contributed to the market’s
weakness. Forecasts ol' the monthly
statement of United States Steel pointed
to a falling off in unfilled orders of per- j
liaps 360,000 tons. Much of the selling j
pressure was concentrated on steel and
the price broke rapidly for a time. Amal
gamated, influeucod by the drop In the
London metal market, was equally weak.
Railroad shares went down with the in
dustrials and by the time the session
ended varloas representative issues show
ed losseH in the neighborhood of 2 points.
Mexican petroleum was weakened by
the failure of the directors to take ac
tion on the dividend at the postponed
meeting of the board. The decline in Na
tional Railways of Mexico second pre
ferred brought it to 11 compared with
27*4 early in the year.
Engagement of $000,000 gold in addition
to $2,000,000 recently purchased in London !
was announced today. Demand^ sterling
lell to the lowest point of the year, but
subsequently rallied.
The bond market was steady. Total
tales, par value. $2,377,000. United States
bonds were unchanged on call.

BULL ACTIVITY LIFTS
Net Advance of 3-8e to l-2e
in Wheat—Other Lead
ers Share in Rise
Chicago, November €.—Bull activity,
based oil belief that wheat had been
oversold, lifted prices today, the close
showing a net advance of Cov
ering by shorts sent corn up to a net
gain of to %c. Strength in
Canada helped oats here to a net im
provement of a shade to %c. Provi
sions rose 10ig)32c on good speculative
buying.
Several of the large buyers began
early to take on wheat, prices having
reached an attractive low point. Be
sides acting on an assumption that
selling in the last few days had been
too free, bull leaders were Influenced
by news from India of developments
unfavorable to the crop there. This, in
the minds of many traders, offset im
proved conditions In Argentina and
generally weak European markets. The
market was nervous at first and weak
ened after a show of strength. Then
came the buying rally which carried
prices up again and held them there
Until the close.
Short covering begun early in the
corn pit and the market hardened after
an easy opening. Speculative buying
gave an early impetus also to the up
lift and values showed steadiness
throughout, in spite of lower cables
and splendid weather in the domestic
belt. Southwestern markets were high
er and this Imparted strength here.
Cash houses were good buyers of oats
and the strong tone of the market was
partly due also to a considerable fall
ing off in primary receipts.
Reinstating by traders who were
large sellers yesterday was a dominate
ing feature in the upturn made by
provisions. January pork scored a net
advance under active demand of 30c
net.

'COTTON MARKET
LOWER YESTERDAY
Scattered Selling Inspired
by the Increased Spot
Offerings
New York, November 6—The cotton
market was lower today under scattered
selling which seemed to be inspired by
executions of increased southern spot of
ferings as a result of more favorable
lucking weather, more favorable views of
the crop and increasing nervousness over
the situation in Mexico. Trading was
not# particularly active and the market
closed barely steady at a net decline of 0
to 17 points.
The opening was steady at an advance
of 2 points to£ decline of one in sympathy
with a steady Liverpool market. Private
cables said that the market there had
been influenced by smaller southern hedge
offerings, but it was reported that the
south was offering cotton more freely.
The weather map was considered favor
able and prices soon ea<?ed off under
liquidation, foreign selling and local pres
sure. After showing a net loss of about
7 to 11 points, the market steadied on
covering and a moderate trade demand,
but weakened again in the late trading
on rumors of bearish private crop esti
mates and apprehensions regarding the
Mexican situation. The close was at prac
tiaclly the lowest point of the day. The
crop estimate of a Memphis firm was
published indicating a crop of 14.585.UOO
hales including linters and there were
private reports from points in the eastern
belt claiming that better weather was
adding to the prospects for a trop crop.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.’« Letter
New York, November 6—(Special.)—With
the exception of considerable selling by
outside local interests the market was
without feature, but this selling was more
than enough to supply the demand, and
\ prices yielded, with the close at the
lowest.
Speculation In general is meager, and
the trade waits for the ginning report of
the 8th, and is influenced by rumors of
large crop estimate by a reliable traveling
observer.
Fair buying is to be noted, as the cur
rent guesses of the Saturday report seem
to justify the belief in a rapid marketing
of the crop. Reports are confusing, a
short interest is increasing, but no
upturn is in sight, though one .easily
might be enacted.
Cables reported a good business on a
steady market.

coni CULL AT A
MODERATE DECLINE
A Crop Estimate Report of
Over 15,000,000 Bales
Sends Market Down
New' Orleans, November 0.—The cotton
market was dull at a moderate decline
; during the greater part of the session.
| In the afternoon selling increased and
the decline was materially widened on the
report that a local crop expert would
come out in the morning with a crop es
timate of 15,300,000 bales and the state
ment that the recent cold weather did
little or no damage In the Atlantic states.
Traders who were bulllshly Inclined crit
icised this rumored report sharply but
it encouraged short selling among the
1 ears.
The market opened steady, 1 point up
to 2 down, compared with yesterday's
close. Cables were a shade better than
due but bulls offered little or no support
and the market had a tendency to de
cline from the first call. The weather
trap was better than expected, as it le
liected none of the rains which private
reports claimed fell in the western belt
yesterday and last night. In the morn
ing It was rumored that the local expert
referred to above w’as about to give out a
crop estimate of 15,000,000 bales. Consid
erable selling was done on this, and at
noon the market stood 8 to 10 (toints
clown. In the afternoon the market had
to take fairly heavy selling under which
prices were forced 17 to 18 points under
the closing level of yesterday. The close
was steady at a net loss for tile day of
10 to 18 points.

LOWER RATES ASKED
BY CATTLE RAISERS
Jackson, Miss., November 6.—-(Special.)
The railroad commission Is going to give
| the farmers and cattle raisers of the
state about what they asked for on
freight rates. The Live Stock associa
tion appeared before th*e commission yes
terday with a demand for a reduction In
the rates on thoroughbred cattle shipped
for breeding stock, so us to encourage the
industry as much as possible.
The traffic men present were not ready
to come to any agreement, but it is be
lieved they will do so in com of time.
Tf thtjy do not the matter will be made
the subject of an order by the commis
sion, and then may go to the courts. The
main obstacle to an agreement at yester
day’s session seems to have been the
unwillingness of the railroads to haul
cattle crated at their actual weight, and
that proposition is to be fought out.

Uncle Sam Could Act in a
Moment’s Notice
PLANS WORKED OUT
Six Years Have Been Devoted to Sys
tem Which Prevents Any Such
Confusion as Experienced
in the Past
By C. E. STEWART
Washington. November 0—(Speclal.—The
"war plans’* of the army ordnance de*
partment is completed, and for the first
time In the history of the country it ts
declared, Uncle Sam is in readiness, at
a moment's notice, to arm and equip 600.
Ooo men to send into the field in the event,
of wur with a first class power. These
plans have been worked out in the past
sfx years through the systematic and un
remitting labor of Lieut. Col. J. T.
Thompson of the ordnance department,
under the direction of Brig. Gen. Wil
liam Crosier, chief of the bureau.
Colonel Thompson points out that his
"war plan” Is based upon conditions ««
they would actually exist In the event
of hostilities. The line of the regular
army would be increased to iis maximum
enlisted strength, as provided for by
j law; the entire organized militia of the
country would be mustered into the ser
vice of the United States, at full war
strength, and the remainder by the en
listment of volunteers.
The "war plan" as now completed pro
vides that this force shall be armed and
equipped at concentration camps before
the different units are sent to the scenes
of operation.
lames and Maps Prepared
For co-onllnatlon tables and maps have
been prepared, giving for the mobile army
and the organized militia, for each arm of
the service, their present strength and the
number of troops required to bring each
arm to war strength as well as the num
ber and kind of volunteers to be raised to
complete 500.000 troops. The various in
creases needed in each branch of the ser
vice are shown on a map which la di
vided into five ordnance supply sections
corresponding as follows: Sections Nos.
1 and 2, eastern department; section
southern department; section i, central
department; section 5, western depart
ment. The number of sets of equipment
of the different kinds required can thus
be very closely approximated. The exact
number of arms and equipment of every
kind to be held on hand at the supply
ursenalH throughout the country is then
determined.
Field Supply Depots
The department has also worked out a
system of division filed supply depots.
Each depot has the necessary personnel,
i tools, ordnance stores and supplies es
timated as sufficient for maintaining for
six months n complete division of infan
try or cavalry or auxiliary army troops.
These division depots are so arranged that
several may be combined into a regular
army depot.
Th$ systems Includes telegrams, let
ters and various orders, which would need
only to be dated and signed, in the office
of the chief of ordnance In order to set
the machinery of equipment in operation,
The general staff of the army deems the
new “war plan” as applied to ordnance sc
valuable in the expeditious placing o1
properly equipped troops In the field or
short notice, that it has directed othei
departments such as engineers, quarter
master corps, medical department nndjjig
nal corps to prepare similar .systemsT''**
It is declared that the great confusioi
and long and tedio»’ delays In equipping
and arming troops that was experience*
during the preparation for the war wlti'
Spain would be impossible under the ne*
‘ war plan.”
