STOCKYARDS TALK
The rain has ceased to be a news item
and the fellow who says things are dry
In his country Is the one who is ns
tetta<M*-ls iheeeef.raordlnary now. .From
reports gathered at »Ue Cattlemen s ex
change, it Is concluded ‘h* *ntlre
range country southwest of
in the finest shape for this season
the year in years. Cattle are d° la S
nicelv everywhere and where active
preparations for feeding cattle were un
der way. the rain has caused them to
be canceled. Grass, weeds and Pear are
springing up abundantly. The cattle
men are now in an Independent position
if they ever were. It remains witn
them now what the cattle price will be
in the future.
M. D. Slader, a prominent stockman
of Llano, is in the city today; and dur
ing the morning dropped in for a chat
at tho Cattlemen’s exchange. In regard
to the cattle situation, Mr. 8 ader _ was
Inclined to be rather optimistic, say ng
that the country as far as he could fino
out or see, was now in first-rate shape.
Mr. Slader has been for several weeks
down at his ranch in Mexico and Is here
en route for his home at V , * no - .fl*
says that he la ready for a.big, Mree
able surprise for when he left
last, the country was dry, hot and, the
cattle suffering. Now he has reporj*
that Llano has had the biggest soaking
rain In three years, that the range is
In fine condition, the cattle getting fat
and the stockmen all happy.

STOCK MARKET
IS UNSETTLED
Inactive Issues Score Large
Gains, But Market Leaders
Take Downward Course,
(BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS.)
NEW YORK, Nov. B.—Some large
gains were made by inactive stocks in
the early trading today but the ten
dency of the market leaders was down
ward. Union Pndflc declined % and U.
8. Steel %. National Biscuit displayed
the most conspicuous strength. Opening
with a gain of 1%, its advance was
quickly increased to 4%. Brooklyn Un
ion Gas gained 4 points and Consoli
dated Gas, American Telephone and
Great Northern preferred one each. Ca
nadian Pacific, Northern Pacific, St
Paul and Rock Island made large frac
tional gains.
The trend of prices became definitely
downward and some of the strong spe
cialties and railroads lost a large part
of their gains. United States Steel was
sold in huge amounts, one block of 600 C
shares changing hands. The price went
to 1% below Monday’s closing, touching
69%. Union Pacific scored a similar loss
and Reading broke 1%. Baltimore and
Ohio moved up one-half. Federal Min
ing 4% and Philadelphia Co. 8.
i'he market ueveioped a gradually
firmer tone but grew dull on the rally.
The monthly figures of the copper pro
ducers showing a decrease in stocks on
hand of nearly six million pounds ana
U large increase In foreign and domes
tic demand, helped the copper group.
Irregularity prevailed In the stock
market throughout tho morning. Move
ments were hesitating and contradictory
but in spite of large gains by inactive
Industrials the list as a whole developed
pronounced weakness. Heavy selling of
the speculative leadera depressed prices
of the issues and the market seemed
to possess lltte rallying power. The cot
ton ginning report was without effect,
although it established a new record.
Market observers regarding the move
ment of stocks naturally In view of tho
recent extended advance and the reduc
tion of the short interest.
Selling pressure relaxed duylng the
second hour. Prices, however, showed lit
tle inclination to harden, speculation be
coming almost stagnant around the new
low levels and the professionals stopped
selling. A few stocks showed independ
ent strength but their movement was
Ignored. Rock Island stocks advanced
1 to 1% on rather inactive dealings
Bonds were steady.
The market closed weak. Professlon
(al selling increased in volume when
there were no signs of supporting or
di and prices went there all around.
Unite' 1 States Steel and Reading ruteo
2 1-4 below Monday and Union Pacific
2. Texas Company suddenly slumped
4 3-4 to 79, uD lowest figure In years.
Copper Issues displayed marked weak

NEW YORK, Nov. 8.— Cotton opened
steady at an advance of six to seven
points In response to higher Liverpool
cables than expected. The census report
showing (.948,172 bales ginned to No
vember 1. comparing with 7,841,958 last
Cr. was considered quite Id line with
Hah expectations and the tone be
came eesier right after the cell under
bear pressure, scattering liquidation and
selling of December by houses with
southern connection* The letter feature
attracted considerable nttention as sug
gesting of probnbiutles of shipments
here from ths south for delivery on con
tract. and the market later in the morn
ing eased off to about the closing fig
ures of Monday.
The market wad less active and stea
dier during tthe afternoon. Private ca
bles from Liverpool claimed that China
was cancelling orders for goods in Man
chester. but aggressive selling here was
checked by the failure of early reports
from the south to indicate any weak
neu in tho spot market* and prices
ruled several points up from the lowest
on covering by some of the early Milers
and moderate support from trade
source*
The wot weather in the south seemed
to make no impression on sentiment as
temperatures were not unseasonable and
tho easier tendency noted right after
tho call continued until the market
showed a net loss of about ( to 8 points,
with January contracts selling within a
point of the low record of the season.
A demand was encountered on the scale
down and tho market late in the morn
ing became rather less active with fluc
tuations more or less irregular, although
prices at midday were within a point or
two of the lowest.

NEW ORLEANS COTTON
(BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS.)
NEW ORLEANS, Nov. B.—Cotton fu
tures opened steady, one point off to
four points up. Cables were Indifferent
The census report on ginning of 9,948,-
000 bales just about met expectations
and caused no stir whatever. The mar
ket was dull in the early trading. Longa
were disposed to let go and their of
ferings were not any too well absorbed
as there was very little demand from
any quarter. The weather map was un
favorable as a great deal of rain was
shown over the cotton region, but the
rains had no stimulating effect upon
the market. At the end of the first half
hour prices were 3 is S points under
yesterday's close.
A recovery put the most active
months one to six points over yes
terday's close and this slight advance
tempted heavy selling, tho bulk or
appeared to come from strong
Years who were basing their operations
on the ginners’ returns. Heavy rains
were reported in private dispatches from
many parts of the belt and the predic
tion was that bears would find the low
trade of the crop a powerful weapon
or their use later on.
The gossip of the market in connec
tion with the figures was to the effect
that they confirmed crop guesses of H>.-
000,000 bales. Selling was scattered
late in the morning and prices were 9
to 11 points under yesterday’s. At noon
prices were 4 to 7 points under.
