STOCKS DULL AND IRREGULAR Active Demand err Covering of Shorts Sent Price Soaring and the Close Was at .a Net Gain of 14 to 28 Pointt Prices Have Reached New Low Ground Owing to Variety, of Influences. Some Look' for Big Re bound Sooner or Later. New. York, Oct. 18. There was an advance of over $1 per bale in the cot ton market today on an active demand from trade interests and covering 'of shorts, influenced by rumors that lead ing spot people had taken the bull side of the market, and apprehensions of cold weather over Sunday. The close was steady at a net gain of some 14 to 28 points for the day. The, market opened steady-at a de cline of 4 points to an advance of 2 points, near months being lower in re sponse to disappointing cables, while later positions reflected nervousness over the weather outlook and covering of shorts. It soon developed that there were big buying orders in the market, in the hands of houses connected with one of the big exporting concerns j and prices quickly began .to work higher. The official f orecast ' f or colder weather in the Western belt and frost in the Texas Panhandle increased ap prehensions of killing temperatures in the belt over Sunday. The main fac tor, however, appeared to be the heavy buying from trade interests and re ports from the South of a good spot demand .from Jboth domestic and for eign sources. '. Realizing checked the advance from time to time, but no im portant recessions occurred and the market reached the highest point .of the day in the late trading in the face of bearish week-end figures. October, which had .been relatively easy at the start, shewed leading strength on the advance, selling, up to 10.31, or 29 points net higher. Liverpool attribut ed an early advance to small offerings nf actual ana French buying, while-an easier turn Just before.the local open in? was ascribed to less satisfactory conditions in Manchester and fear of further European complications.

Prices have re cently entered new low ground, owing to favorable weather over much of the belt, continued, large receipts, the. war in Southeastern Europe, the fear that larger powers may become involved in the struggle and finally heavy sel ling, partly, against actual cottah by the South. Also spot houses have in some cases resumed selling. Wall Street houses and the West have also sold. To the great majority of people here- the drift of prices has seemed to be inevitably downward, owing to the enormous receipts at Texas points, the increasing movement east of the Mis sissippi river, the tendency to increase crop estimates and the noticeable fal ling off in exports and spinners' tak ings as compared with those of last year. If there should be a spread of the war in Europe the effect, it is be lieved, willbe to cause a very material decrease in the Consumption of Amer ican cotton In Europe, especially as the cotton crops of Egypt, India and Rus. sia are larger this year than they were in 1911. The disturbed 'condition of the Eu ropean bourses at times has added to the general depression. Southern farm ers have ben reported as 'offering cot ton freely. Spot markets as a rule have lacked snap. But for all that there are those who believe that the decline has gone too far and that son- er or later there will be a big rebound. They believe that the short interest has assumed enormous proportions. They believe that the market is sold out and oversold and that at the first sign o,f widespread killing frost, prices will move upward, stimulated not only jjy a big demand by over-crowded shorts on both sides of the Atlantic, but also by the excellent condition of the cotton goods trade, both at home and abroad. These observers declare their inability to understand why cot ton should continue to be depressed with general trade in this country in creasing by leaps and bounds. Towards the close of the week, tne fear of frost in Texas, the calmer feel ing regarding the war in Southeastern Europe, the big,, spot sales in Liver pool (14.000 bales on Friday) ana cov ering of shorts caused an advance in a market believed to be heavily snort.

New York, Oct. 18. R. G. Dun & Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade tqmor row will say:- ' Businesa . activity,, .in -this -country continues to .advance unchecked by the political .complications in Europe and -the fears they have caused abroad. Next to the assurance of unprece dented harvests, the most gratifying business development is that the reat expansion in the iron and steel trade is proceeding without as yet any un wholesome .development. The car shortage and the scarcity of labor, however, cause more embarrassment in some sections. Conservatism is shown in accepting future business. Most mill are booked ahead for prac tically six months on important pro ducts. Purchasing of pig iron is on a heavy scale and the general price situation reflects further strength. Crude steel material remains in scant supply and quotations are very firm for virtually all finished descriptions Additional rail contracts include 00,000 tons of open hearth for one prominent system. Orders for fully 5,000 cars were awarded this week and nearly 18,0001 more-are pending. Dry goods markets are steady, des pite lower quotations for raw cotton and a tendency to move slowly until after the election. Repeat orders are freauent and for small lots, jobbers showing little disposition to allow their stocks to run as low as last year, There is still considerable curtail ment of output, due to a scarcity of la bor and shorter hours. Mills engagea on knit-goods and hosiery are being kent busy-and running over time. Dress .roods and men's wear in "wool ens affif worsteds are in an exception ally good position from a mercantile and- manufacturing standpoint. Silk YirwoltiPH are selline well. Silk rib- hnfta have advanced. ?The-footwear markets are noticeably nfmhe. The markets for hides contin ue very strong and prices are above all previously established quotations.

Dullness and ir regularity were the dominating fea tures of today's operations on the stock exchange. Revival of recent un settlement on the foreign exchanges was a contributing factor. There was no liquidation of our stocks abroad, but London's level of prices at the close showed a number of very material declines, especially in Canadian Pacific, the Coppers and American Smelting. The feature here at th ouenine was the heavy offer ings of Amalgamated Copper. Early weakness was shown also by Union Pacific and a few other issues of specu lative importance,, but the market turned strone at midday on urgent buying of United States SteeL which scored its best Drtce or the weeK. 1 ms movement impelled short covering in the general list, after which the mar ket laDsed into extreme dullness, ex cept for spasmodic advances in spe cialties, chiefly the tobaccos. Manipulation was evident in some of the more obscure stocks, including fer tilizers an d eauiDments.
