CHICAGO. October 31,—Highest prices of anyyet in the last mx weeks were reached today In the com mar- j ket. ♦ Sentiment was nnasnally buliish in some quarter*. e»- i prcialiy regarding the Decern - J her delirery. Wet weather and« the meagerneM of the car supply! counted as the chief factors. Opening price*, which ranged from the same a* yesterday's finish to %c higher, with December *1.27 1-2* \ »»<* May 91.24%#L24%. were followed by something of a setback from opening top figures. Oats were slightly firmer with com. After opening a shade to %Q %c higher, including December at *1%® 71%e the market continued to harden. Provisions reflected the upward tilt of cereals. Trade, though, was light.

COTTON MARKET UNSTEADY
Pablicatlon of Government Crop Re-
port Crushes Early Gain*.
NE%: YORK, October 31—The cotton market recovered Thursdays losses during today's early trading. There was no confirmation of yesterday's late rumors that the coal strike had been called off but there appeared to be quite a general conviction that any disturbance would be of short duration. The strike news consequently did not prevent buying on the threat of a cold wave In the southwest, firm Liverpool cables and bullish spot news. July was 8 paints lower at the opening but other months were 4 to 39 points higher and sold about 35 to 45 points above last night's closing figures during the early trading with January touching 38 20c, or a

WASHINGTON. October 21—The condition
of the cotton crop on October 36 was 61.1 per cent, normal, according to a snppl amentai report imoed today by the deportment of agriculture at the direction of the congress No comparative figures for last year are available, the announcement said, and there is no basis for a forecast of production. The regular report as of September 25 gave the condition as 54.4 per cent, of normal, which fore-
cast a production of 10.636,000 bales. Congress directed that a new estimate of
October 2$ be prepared because members from southern states insisted that the September 25 crop forecast was erroneous, the department of agriculture not having taken abandoned acreage into consideration in its preparation.. Today's report showed a decline of 3 3 points during tbe month, compared with a decline of 7 points shown by the Sep-

This was paid by an outside buyer for a load of 300 pound hogs that have little company in current receipts. There were also late sales of light hogs as high as $14.10, and most of the last sales were 10# 16c higher than the opening. A run of 10.060 hogs indicated the marketing was again practically normal. but the receipts for the month of October, 220.000, although 3.000 more than for the same month last year, were 56.000 smaller than the trade expected and up to the time that the packing house strike affected the receipts the increase in the marketing this month had been at the rate of 50,000 more hogs for the month. This has also upset the ‘•dope" for 3,000.000 hogs this year, because it will require "50,000 In the remaining two months to make that number. The demand from local packers was no better and still far below normal, but there seemed to be unlimited orders from other sources and finally there was a good clearance of the largest receipts of hogs for a single day since October 15. The local buying was not an important factor in prices and sales were not at as uniform prices as usual, but in practieaJly all cases lower. The top price early. $14.25, was only 10 cents lower but sales of light hogs as low as $13.75 were 25 cents lower and hogs were sold at $14.00 that were just like others that sold at that price the day before. Most of the business was at $13.85 to $14.00 and in the average probably 15c lower. There was a snappy rivalry among outside, buyers for pigs and contrary to the usual course with respect to the movement In prices of other hogs they were higher. Strong weight pigs sold up to $13.75 and most of the other good kinds at $13.00 to $13.50. Sows were nearly 25 cents lower at the start but closed strong with sales as high as $12.75.

The marketing of cattle has apparently expanded to beyond the present requirements of the trade and this is reflected in the softening in prices. There were 1.200, an ordinary run for Friday. Several layovers again contributed to the advantage of salesmen and there was some shrinkage in prices. Much of the business, especially in steers was 25 cents lower which aggregates a loss of 50 cents in many cases compared with prices prevailing early this week. Bids. In extreme cases, were $1.00 lower. A buyer observed there was a greater loss than sales on paper indicated because when the weather is sloppy cattle do not drink as they do ordinarily and consequently there is less shrinkage from live to dressed weight. The local demand was nearly normal and not many cattle remained unsold. Calves were lower with a few odd fancies at $19.00 and other veals at $17.06 to $18.50. There was only a fair demand for feeding cattle and prices were not as stiff as they w'ere a week ago. Heifers and good steers were the best sellers.

Buyers Are Taking All the Onions They Can G$t
The United States bureau of crop estimates says of the onion situation: The 1919 onion crop has peaked a month earlier and is apparently moving into consumption with greater rapidity than either of the crops of 1917 or 1918. Is this really a fact? The details of the California and Now York movement seem to contradict it. In 1917 California had moved 1,711 cars, in 191S, 2,07* cars, a»d in 1919. 3,245 cars to October 6. Are these cars moving into consumption? It is not thought that they are, but

603 cars In 1919 to October 6. or less than half the number moved In 1917. Prices of onions are very hifth. higher than In 1917. The buyers seem to be taking alt of the onions they can <fet, as they did tn 1917, while at the same time the bureau of markets is reporting the movement and demand as moderate to slow in all of the large markets of the country. The years 1917 and 1919 seem to be very much alike to date, except for the very remarkable movement cant fropn California. Prefsent indications point to a minimum of 19.006 acrevs of Bermuda and Creole onions in Louisiana, Texas and California. This should mean around 8.600 cars to be sold in April and May. which looks like a
large-sized contract.
During the four months, November, December. 1918. January and February, 1919. 6.036 cars moved Into consumption while during the same period in 1917-18. but 8,619 oars moved, and regardless of the fact that onions were sold at any prica offered,- hundreds of cars were dumped in the spring of 1918, and the huge Texas crop was only partly moved at unremunerative prices. In the spring of 1919 on the contrary, northern yellow, onions, which was a bumper cron, and which had been selling throughout the year at moderate prices were sold as high as $6 and $7 per hundred, owing to their scarcity, while the abort Texas crop was sold at prices wholly satisfac-
tory to growers.
