COTTON EXCHANGE Oct. 14— Nearly
bales of cotton were received nt
rho three Texas ports—Galveston. Houston
and Texas City—today for export. The
total for all American porta was 4105*
bale?. which compares favorably with the
figures for this time last year. This bore
further evidence that th< T"xaa crop is
beginning to move In volume now. How-
ever the total sales of cotton at the prin;
cipal Texas cities was less than 9000
bales which is the lightest showing made
since September 15.
Pri< es offered for cotton here were
steady and unchanged compared with yes-
terday with tl*e middling basis at 6%c.
Dallas advanced l-16c on sales of 4267
bales which puts that market on a level
with San Antonio. Sales here up to 2
o'clock were 1200 bales.
Considerable Interest was displayed on
the exchange in the government's census
report showing that for th* first two
months of the cotton year exporta f*ll off
more than a million bales compared with
11>* same period last year. Domestic con-
sumption of cotton for the same period
decreased more than 75.000 bale*. Imports
of cotton however. Increased 42.402 bales
having b*en brought from abroad com-
pared with 15.234 bales last year. Egypt
sold 13241 bales of cotton on the Ameri-
can market this year compared with 368 S
bales a year ago.
There was some inquiry for cotton from
abroad through local spot houses. Do-
mestic mills are said to be holding off
owing to lack of confidence In the Imme-
diate course of prices notwithstanding the
low level already reached on the present
mo\ ement.

Reports from Chicago that th*' stock uf
lard there is decreasing at the rate of
heariy 2000 tierces a day cabs*d the local
packers to take a bullish view of the meat
situation Wednesday and advances their
prices in a substantial fashion. The whole-
sale price of pure lard was marked up
within an eighth-cent uf 12 cents per
pound. All kinds of pork prpducta have
been tending downward in this market
for qpite h period du* to the continuous
decline in live hogs at the packing cen-
ters. Market statisticians have figured
th*- total alaughteilng of hogs nt the prin-
cipal centers as nearly 2000.000 head short
of a year ago. Th'* packers however
continue to demand lower prices for hogs.
Under heavy offerings hogs were down
at all the principal markets for the day.
Routh Texas is finding a good market
for its corn without going outside of the

quantities and the fex> buyers are getting
supplies at practically their own figure*.
Excellent grass crops throughout the state
are making the feed business unusually
dull right now. However the grain deal-
ers expect an impetus in th<- feed busi-
ness as a result or the cold weather.
The sugar situation loeally was un-
changed Wednesday at the pr< vlous day’s
i eduction. Fine granulated is in better
demand at $6.76 than at $7. last week’s
price. The market at the refining cen-
ters Is reported stagnant there being no
Inter- st shown tn granulated by the L’nlu d
Kingdom or this country. Distributers are
said to be watting for effects of the beet
pressure.
Turkey will soon be the mont popular
fowl In the market but for the present
I shippers are advised to consign conserva-
tively. It is yet too early for the turkey*
I <o be fat and prices are down large frac-

Plenty of the Thanksgiving bird is ex-

during the holiday period this year. There
was a somewhat better feeling in eggs
dining the day. due to lighter offerings
The retailers < ontinue to buy supplies at

There was a good assortment of vege-
tables offered on produce row during th*
day. Th* peddlers are doing a good busi-
