CHICAGO, October 6.—Although new low record prices on wheat were touched in the wheat market today, advances later were scored. Offerings appeared to be passing into strong hands. The big decline of late in all grain, together with the fact that liquidation has been heavy, was said to have led to belief in some quarters that a reaction was due. Opening quotations, which varied from un- changed figures to 13 lower, with % to 1111z, and May 15 to 115%. were followed by an upturn to well above yesterday's fin- ish. Corn and oats paralleled the action of wheat. Corn % to % lower, includ- ing December at 481, made a mod- erate advance. Oats started unchanged to % off, December 35 to 35%, and then hard- ened all round. —_— \ COTTON MARKETS. NEW YORK, October 6.—The cot- ton market was unsettled early to- day owing to continued liquidation and scattering pressure. The opening was steady at an advance of 2 points to a decline of 8 points. and the active months sold 2 or 3 points above last night's closing after the call. This was better than due on the weak showing of Liverpool or the wenlngl of New Orleans, however. and pkices soon weakened, with December seling off from 19.65 to 19.44, or about 13 poiuts net lower. Liverpool and New Orleans were sellers here, but the pressure of long cotton was less ac- tive after the liquidation of yester- day. while, there seemed to be ver: little southern hedge pressure, and the market met increased trade buying around the 19% level for December contracts.
