' NEW YORK. November 6. After opening
higher the market reacted sharply under heavy
realizing but firmed up again in the late trad-
ing On continued trade buying and covering
with the close firm net unchanged to 10 pointi
higher. ' :
The opening eras steady at an advance of
1010 points with the active months making
new high records for the movement in response
to firmness in Liverpool reports of rain in the
South and bullish Southern spot advices over
yeiterdajr's adjournment. The talk around the
ring reflected quite a strong sentiment in favor
of. a reaction however and offerings were
very heavy at the initial prices. The market
consequently soon began to sag off from the
best and. while a fairly good demand was in
evidence on a scale downward the decline con-
tinued until after stop loss orders were uncov-
ered and prices showed a net loss of from 19
to 17 points during the early afternoon. Be-
low ll.M for January support was more actfve
and as soon as the market showed a disposition
to steady some of the early sellers started to
cover -while there wss a renewal of bull sup-
port inspired by bullish Southern spot advices
and talk of snail crop estimates.
The market recovered practically all of fts
loss and the closing prices were within a point
or two of the best with active positions show-
ing net gain of from a to points as com-
pared with tbe final figures of Monday.
A prominent Liverpool authority cabled a
crop estimate of 1.1440000 bales and it was
reported that a well known local house would
issue an estimate tomorrow based on the invest?-
itions of a traveling crop expert indicating a
eld of under 14.000 000 bales.
Keporta from Memphis said that the official
euros' of the National Ginners' association
owed 8tvt00ea bales ginned to November 1.
umerous bullish wires were received from the
Hith regarding the' spot situation and some o
e riay'e bullish gossip Was based on the com-
iratively small New York stock and the recent
iiry trade buying of January

Neill After Trip Through Texas
Estimate State's Crop at 4500000 Bales
The annual estimate of tbe cotton crop by
R. Larmour Neill was issued a few days ago
and from a careful examination of the cotton
belt be gives the maximum figures for thia
year's crap as 13.07O0.OOO bales and for Texas
4SOO0w0 bales. These figures constituted one
of the chief factors in the recant advance of
the cotton market. s
He estimates the crop for the Atlantic Statea
at 5.SUO.OO0 balei; for the Gulf States at
4.1M.04M) bales and for Texas alone at 4.30-
000 bales.
A record of tbe estimates of Neill for the
past six rears ahowa them to have been mar-
velously near the actual figures given out by
Secretary Hester st the close of the season
there being only a few hundred thousand bales
difference .
The investigator has recently completed a
tour of the Cotton States and gives out the
following information on what he found
"To sac the surprise of the whole is to find
that this year's condition is far below what I
noted in 1003 the Sully year when tbe total
crop only amounted to 10010.000 and that of
the Atlantic States to S.8US.000.
"An examination of the plants in the fields
at a number of points in the Carolinas Geor-
fia and Alabama corroborated the conditions as
saw them from tbe tram. Except at Char-
lotte. N. C. wiiere on September 21 some
fields were 'white with bloom;' thcrc.wos evi-
dence at every point snd in slmoat every field
of the most exec-sive shedding and premature
opening 1 have ever seen.
"Wherever this excessive premsture opening
occurred needless to say tlie yield is bound
to be very light owing to the unusually small
iie of the bills.
"These conditions are the result of much
rain in August which wag followed by ex-
tremely hot weather during the firs' wrel: of
September coming on a rather late plant that
was very 'sappy.' Defective stands from the
heavy April and May rainfall were numerous
especially in Georgia Alabama and Last Mis-
sissippi. "Texas I believe will make her maximum
rop. Mv estimate for this State has been
made after wide travel in the State and a care
ful weighing of the evidence. It is a 'spotted'
ever discouraged fresh trading ot any magni-
tude and shorts were content with small prof.
it. Late in the morning there was a recovery
and at noon tbe most active months stood at a
net decline of lOitt 13 points.
In the afternoon the market acquired a
steady tone and on fresh long buying quickly
recovered the loss of the earlier season. At 3
o'clock prices were 13 points over Monday's
final quotations.
Cotton futures closed steady at a net ad-
vance of 4 to g jKiints.

crop and seems to be good tn many place
where last year it was poor and vice versa.
Tbe top crop prospect are of less than usual
interest ar it is only in a few places that they
amount to anything. On October XI in all
the country between Austin and Houston
over 100 miles there was not 1 per cent of
the crop unpicked snd as a general thing the
cattle were in tbe fields showing that the
farraeri had abandoned all hop -of any addi-
tion to the yield. 1 never before saw the fields
in that part of the country so bare of cotton or
the depot platforms of bales at so early a date.
"Mississippi and Arkansas should just about
equai last year'a yield.
"Louisiana will do considerably better owing
to an increased acreage and a better yield
particularly on those bottom lands which es-
caped overflow ami the uplands which were
well fertilized and cultivated. Boll weevil
were not nearlv so numerous.
"Tennessee and Missouri on tbe other hand
have not the profile of last year's crop never-
theless they have a good prospect to make their
second largest yield.
"Oklahoma also I feel satisfied will make
her banner crop Unfortuaately the acreage
lud to be sacrificed to the imperative necessity
for raising feed and foodstuffs. Had this not
happened s very targe crop would bsve been
made as tbe weather barring the little frost
of September 30 has been unusually favorable)
during tbe growing season.
"It is proha.v not generally realized that
last yesr sixty-seven counties in Texas pro-
ilucea their maximum crop and of these only
fifteen were small producers of from five to
ten thousand bales. This record will not be
equaled this year.
"With tlie world's needs again approximating
14.500.00o to 14.7SO.0O0 bales of American
cotton the spinner who requires tbe grades
ibove middling with body and some staple will
do well to secure his cotton promptly because
high ss the premiuf is for such cotton it is
likely to increase as the Mason progresses.
"Good weather in the South to enable the
cotton remaining in the fields to be picked in
go0d condition is now of more importance to
the trade than whether a killing frost comes
a few davs sooner or later. A period of
rainv weather could easily reduce the yield some
hundreds of thousands of bales t

Cotton Seed Oil.
(Houston Post Sptcial.)
NEW YORK. November t. The ootton seed
oil market was decidedly firmer today influ-
enced by active buying of late months on ac-
counts of the Western refiners light offerings
of crude and covering of shorts.
The steadiness of crude continues. There
were moderate tenders on November contracts
today but shorts seemed willing to absorb what-
ever offerings these deliveries caused. Specula-
tive interest in the marker has improved slight-
ly. Sentiment in the main was rather bearish.
Consuming advicea show more irregularity but
it was conceded that the lower levels had in-
ipired a slight betterment in the inquiry.
The local market closed firm. 3 to 14 pointi
higher. Total sales 17100 barrels. Closing

WHfcAT STRONG AFTER
TOUCHING THE BOTTOM
tf.s
Sellinf Wu ; Orerdone and Shorts
. ForeeiPrltea Vp in Efforts
' to Cover.
(HisMtem Ptsi Special.)
CHICAGO. November I. Although wheat
prices today' touched a new low record for the
season December at 874 the market closed
strong H to H above Monday night. Scanti-
ness of increase in. the world's available supply
formed tbe saaia reason for the upturn. Corn
finished unchanged to higher oats varying
from the same ss- the previous close to H
gain and provisions either not altered or with
advances ranging from a shade to 12.
Extreme bearish sentiment which prevailed
cxr'r. came about aa a result of weak cables
and because of adequate demand for the big re-
ceipts piling up northwest of here. Better crop
conditions in Argentina counted alio againit
the bulls. Selling on the decline however was
overdone and shorts forced the market up on
themselves in attempts to cover.
News of unexpected falling off in European
stocks of wheat 1 was followed by announce-
ment that the domestic visible supply had not
enlarge to the extent which had been looked
for. Ihcre were also predictions that the
United States and Canada would soon be called
on to meet a Transatlantic demand for 85000-
000 bushels. In consequence sll of the early
weakness vanished and in the last fifteen min-
utes the market rose rapidly.
In com. as in wheat shorts especially the
smaller ones overreached themselves. One of
their chief difficulties wu tbe fart that rain
throughout Central Illinois proved tobe the
heaviest in months.
Some export call aided in overcoming the
bearish effect of huge receipts of oats.
Provisions after suffering from sales by
packers rallied when cereals turned strong.
January pork and lard headed the fist with a
net gain of l3VaC

NEW YORK. Novembss- g. During tko Rrsg
half of todty'I session oa the stock exchange
the undertone of irregularity sad indecision
suggested the thought that the speculative) oie-
ment seemed unable to grasp be significance of
yesterday's election. Prices opeaed with sue-
stantial gains under London's lead and tban fell
back in numerous snstaacea to below Monday's
dose after which the market was temporarily
left to its own devices.
Trading in the last two hours lifted the day's
total well above all recent record.
General Conditions abroad were undoubted
factors in the rise. Advicea from continental
centers imparted a more hopeful view of At
Balkan situation and the trend of events in
London. Paris and Berlin indicated Kurope's
financial interests were prepared to meet the
supremacy of the democratic party in the
United States with absolute equanimity. '
The bond market was broad active and firm.

STOCK MARKET TOOK
A SUDDEN UPTURN
Large Volume of Business Accom-
panied Net Gains of 2 to 4
Points at New York.
(Associated Press Report.)
NEW YORK. November . After an early
period of uncertainty today's stock mafVt sud-
denly forged upward on a very large volume of
business recording net gains of 2 to 4 points
in many of the more important issues. To
what extent the rise was prompted by yester-
day's election or to the general prosperity of
the country or perhaps to a conjunction of
these conditions must remain a matter of con-
jecture. It is noteworthy however that the
market was at its best in he final hour when a
statement accepted by the financial community
as most reassuring wss issued by the president-
elect. ' London and the continent were purchasers ot
our stocks both in their own markets and later
here. Public and private advices from abroad
were of a tenor to indicate that the fiafancial
interests . of Europe had substantially discount-
ed yesterday's political upheaval ana Were pre-
pared to accept the outcome with complacency.
These advices were supplemented by the fa-
vorable comment of local banking and indus-
trial interests. Over ail was a feeling of relief
that henceforward politics would cease to be- a
paramount factor.
The financial community is not unmindful
of the fact that the democratic party is com-
mitted to tariff revision and that situation may
be expected to find reflection from time to time
in securities of corporations whose destinies are
considered more or less bound up In this issue.
Already in fact stocks of some such domestic
corporations have suffered serious reverses
nsmely American Beet Sugar snd American
Sugar while the shares of the American Wool-
en company also have manifested an easier
tendency.
Quite apart from domestic considerations
however it is believed that the immediate fu-
ture of our ' stock market rests in large measure
on the outcome of the war in Southeastern Eu-
rope. Today's dispatches from foreign centers
on that point were more encouraging

FORT WORJH Texas November a As-
tive selling at steady prices festured the mid-
week cattle trade. The only departure from
this was found in the southern cow division
where for some reason unexplained there was
a slow movement. Prices remained steady
however. Receipts were liberal SSOO head of
Jrown cattle and 1106 calves. Compare with
.110 cattle and 1128 calves a week ago and
4881 cattle and 880 calves a year ago.
Four loads of beef cattle went to a local
packer at 0.70 averaging 882 pounds. Four
loads of a lighter weight went to an- Oklahoma
City packer. A few loada of cheap steers were
used a "fill ins" st a range of 4.09 to 4.6S.
A. scarcity prevailed In the supply of feeder
stec. The best was four loads at 5.83. These
steers came from the breeding grounds 6f Boog
