COTTON MARKET IS
MODERATELY ACTIVE
Prices at Close on Sc turday Show Little Change
From Jrrtvious Week's b inal Quotations
How Freeze \ffected Cr p.
New York, November 5.?The cotton
merket? have been moderately active,
the past week, with prices at the
close yesterday showing little change
lrom last Saturday's Mnul quotations.
As a mutter of fact tlie option list
here ended lust night at points nd
Ciince on November und ?eccmboi t<>
unchanged on January and about 2
points net decline on lite later months
from those prices, Fluctuations wore
confined within a narrow range on
mixed trading from last Monday up
to yesterday afternoon, with the ex?
treme decline at one time of 10 to
20 points.
This broke January down to S.87
und March to $.95, while Ma y slumped
to 0.0$. new low records for the sea?
son and for nearly tin- past three
years. Good trade buying offset the
Southern selling and bear pressure
from New Orleans, Memphis and local
traders, and this with seme got?,i Wall
Street buying, rallied the market the
last two days and closed prices firm
yesterday, on the basis of y.u'.' for
January, 9.12 for March, and May 9.22,
against G.25 for December and 9.US for
deliveries during the current montn.
The Week's Freer-e uud the Crop
There is now little doubt that the
crop 1? through making any further
staple. Tili freezing weather of
Thursday night und yesterday morn?
ing, following the previous frosts I
along the north.tn edge of the belt,
extended into the Interior of the bell
from El Paso, Tex., up to Palestine
and throughout Oklahoma, Tennessee,
and all of Arkansas, as well as Vir?
ginia and North Carolina, and the
northerly districts of Mississippi, Ala?
bama and Georgia, with frost extend?
ing further down to the central por?
tion of those States and Louisiana.
While no great damage has actually
resulted from thejc conditions, thoy
have been sufficiently severe on the
plants to prevent further production
of bolls, and nothing but the more
matured bollB left on the plants can
now be expected to develop. The top
crop Is all open in the fields, with,
the exception of these bolls, and if '
rainy weather should set in, followed !
by another cold wave, the top crop |
could easily turn out so disappointing i
as later en to force a considerable
modification from the present ex- I
tremely bearish views and excessive 1
crop estimates. The convention of the
Governors of .Southern States at New
Orleans has received only passing at?
tention fioni the cotton trade, and has
ha,i little or no Influence on trade sen?
timent or the course of the market
during the week.
Xeit \Vedne?dav"s Ginning Iteport.
The prlncial interest now centres In
the publication of the next Census
iP.ureau"s ginning report. This will
cover the period to November 1, and
wilt he innounced Just before the
opening of the market on Wednesday.
November S. It should show a little
over 10.000,000 bales ginned, as con?
trasted with 7,710.000 bales for the
lust report to October IS, against 7,
.'H5.953 to November 1 last ycur, and
7.017.849 in 1905, and 8,191,567 In 1S9S,
the previous lsrgest ginning tlcures
for the period on record. For over a
week Southern operators have been
selling the option list on the expec
tatlon thai the publication of this re
p< rt would l?rcuk prices below s 1-2
cents, and other large interests have
been waiting for it, in order to uccu
ntulatu cheaper lines ol cotton con?
tracts for a prospective speculative
I or Investment holding for a long pull.
I The argument of the bears Is that
this amount of cotton ginned to No
vembcr I represents less than 65 per
cent, of the crop, und that the total
yield, therefore, is over 1S.600.00U
bales. In conservative quartern It Is,
however, believed that it Is under 14.

are predicting ? cent cotton, on tho
other It.ui<i. Insist that only Gil per

therefore by thest statements they
attempt to jus tit) 111? ? rldh ulously ex?

erubly over l?.OOt'.oOn bales
The oldest experienced cotton men.
howevr. believe that the history of
this crop will show it developed
earlier and has ?been picked und
gintn <1 more rapidly than any other
on record. The Journal of Commerce
crop report of Wednesday estimated
the amount of the i rop picked to the
average date of October as 76 pet
cent., an amount unequaled in any
previous record-breaking early har?
vesting period since the 70 per cent,
picked to that date in the crop of 1004.
which Immediately followed the fa?
mous Sully bull movement and cotton
famine period of 1003-3.
Movement of the Crop.
The movement of the- crop into .sight
this week has continued on the heavy
scale of over 100,000 bales per day
from plantations. Thus the amount
brought into sight to the close of
business yesterday approximated
672,000 bales, against 660.000 last
week. 5S2.000 last year, 566.000 In
1309. and 690.000 In 190V This makes
the total amount of the crop brought
into sight and actually marketed from
the opening of the season on Septem?
ber*! to date. 4.664.000 bales, against
4.0S3.000 the same time last year, and
4.405.000 the corresponding period tho
previous year.
While the movement of the crop has
been heavy, purchases by the world's
spinners and spot dealers have also ?
continued on h liirge scale. with
spinners' takings this week estimate*!
a) over IOO.O0U bales, against 350,00(>
last year.
Therofori., the Increase In Die visible
supply of American cotton for th?:
week is about 271.000 "bales, ogainst
an increase of 196.U00 last year, with
th- prevent world's visible supply or
cotton now standing at 2,003.000 billed
on the tiRiires of the New Tork Cotton
Exchange, against 2,642,000 last year,
with spinners' takings from Septem1
ber 1 to date apt roxlmatlng 2.402.000
bales, against 2.225,000 for the cor
n iponding period list yenr. Tho
lowneS8 of the price of the staple
compared with th" last two years,
when those crops both averaged about
14 1-2 cents for middling, as contrast?
ed with the present quotation of about
9 to 9 1-4 cent!* is so attractive to
the spinning Interests, there is little
doiiht they will continue large buyers
and Increase their takings for in?
vestment or surplus holdings in the
event of further declines.

GENERAL TENDENCY
IN WHEAT DOWNWARD
Declines Sharply Under Free General Selling.
Affected by Abundant Receipts ana Talk ot

I New York. November 5.?The general
tendency in wheat during the ilrst
half of ihe week was downward. There
were reports of a better iiiltliui; de?
mand, and this was coupled wiin an
Inaignillcant increase In the visible
supply, but free* general selling on
the continued heavy receipts at spring
wheat primary points sent prices on'
At Minneapolis and Dulutll the ar
rivals were nbotll double the receipt!
In the corresponding days last year
During October the two points re- j
i-elvcd 20,101 cars, as against I 1,711 ;
u year ug i
European markets wore influenced
to a lurge degree by the heavy III- !
crease In the visible supply and kite :
favorable weekly crop summaries, par?
ticularly from Australia, where rains .
hai*o been beuellclul. Crop reports
from Argentina were also good, and ;
it is claimed thul the new crop will j
begin to move from that country till- !
usually early. The downward trend i
was checked by the unexpectedly light i
Increase In the world's available sup- t
ply, 6,029,00J bushels, against 13,341,00? !
bushels a year ago. Weakness was j
most striking lit Chicago, where, it i
was alleged, holders had becomo .
anxious to unload, partly on vagui
tumors that the government was con- !
templnting an Investigation as to the
concentrated holdings in that market
Wenkiirsf? l.nter 111 Week.
In tin- last half of the week there
was further striking depression, prices
in Chicago declined in an excited mar?
ket. Traders were nervous, the break
being almost entirely based on em?
phatic rumors respecting the possi?
bility of a government Investigation.
While this was calculated to create
nervousness and unsettlement and to
restrict trade, it seemed, in the judg?
ment of conservative dealers, scarce?
ly sufficient to warrant such marked
weakness as was seen. I'rlces In Chi?
cago are no higher than elsewhere
in (Iiis country- Kor a long time niII
lera at oiitsido points Iron) ua UU"
South ua Louisville liuvo been buy?
ing wheat in Chicago. it lb true Hut
Europe has not been buying any note?
worthy nun .litte? here, but this Is
largely owing to the fact that cheaper
wheat cuti be obtained In oilier ex?
porting countries. Europe would take
spring wheat from us. It we bad any
to j-pare. Cable advices have been
somewhat discouraging, especially
from Antwerp, where the market IS
largely Inlluenced by the favorable
outlook m Argentina. .Manitoba wheat
prices have held up surprisingly well,
owing largely to a fairly brisk ex- i
port demand.
Steady Tone to Corn.
Coin bus ruled remarkably steady
in the race of the depression in wheat,
11 has weakened very little under fair?
ly free selling, prompted largely by j
better weather in the West, where il j
has been clear and decidedly cold. As I
a result, It Is the gcnerul impression
that farmers will soon begin to mako
larger deliveries to country stations.
This is greatly desired because at
present business Is restricted by the
insignificant supply, und the high
prlccit current, especially for old corn,
which has become extremely scarce.
Business in cash lots is almost at a
standstill, practically all buyers hold?
ing back, as they expect lower figures
as soon as the new crop begins to ar?
rive at all freely.
Exporters have shown a fair degree
of Interest, and haVo taken moderate?
ly large quantities of new to arrive,
mainly December to March, Inclusive, I
at approximately ID cents per bushel
less than quoted for old on spot. Tl e
comparative steadiness In corn was
partly ascribed to reduced crop esti?
mates, the total now being placed
at slightly over 2,600.000 bushels,
against 2,759,340 000 bushels, accord?
ing to the laat government report ]
TRADE IS AWAITING
REPORT ON GINNING
New Orleans. La., Novembor .">.?The
tlrst purt of this Week i?\ the rotton
market promises to he as ?tuiet as
last we. k was. chiefly because the
trade will be waiting Ott the report on
ginning by the Census Bureau to No?
vember I. This report will be pub?
lished Wednesday morning. The mar?
ket anticipates figures somewhere be?
tween 9,000,000 and 10,000,000 hales
After the glnners returns are known
the trade probably will devote atten?
tion to the November spot demand. No?
vember usually Is a dead mouth, but
the bulls have claimed much for It'
this fall, and It Is said that freight:
engagements are large enough to war?
rant the assertion that exports this
month will be big. Apparently eon-;
firming this opinion is the rumor thutj
ocean freight rates will shortly be ttd-j
vanced.
Early In the week reports are ex-|
peeled as to the effect on cotton of;
the e'old snap, but it is not probable
that these will affect prices to any
great extent.
The Chinese situation will be close-j
ly watched because of the many re?
ports of cancellation of orders of'
cloths by Chinese importers. These
cancellations, It Is claimed by Ihe bears,
have become an item of importance to
many .Southern, mills, as well as to the
mills of Lancashire, and it will na-j
turully b-: claimed that cancellations.

MEASURING WATER SUPPLY |
Amount Available Will He Gauged by
Snowfall,
Washington. November 5.?Accurate
forecasts of the water supply avail?
able for agricultural and commercial
purposes during spring and summer
months us a result of the previous
w,lnter snows will be made within two
years from this time. This was the
prediction made to-day by Secretary of
Agriculture Wilson, in speaking of
experiments which the Weather Bureau
Bureau has 'been making for sonic
time.
?'The Weather Bureau has been mak?
ing systematic measurements of the.
amount of snowfall In the mountain
regions in the West," said the secre?
tary, "for the purpose of determining
is accurately as possible the amount
of water available for agricultural and
commercial purposes during the en
BUlng spring and summer months.
"In connection with the study of
snowfall and its consequent run-off, a
*>ystematlc snow survey was begun In
the watershed of Maple Creek, near
Springville, Utah While the work was
experimental. It Is thought that within
two years sufficient observations will
have been obtained to permit of ac?
curate forecasts of water supply from
the winter snowfall.
"The system also can be extended to
other and larger projects, and the
ti-ork will be limited only by the
amount of funds available for the
work. The preliminary campaign In
the Maple Creek watershed has re?
ceived hearty commendation from
farmers and engineers."
