New York. Oct. 19. Professional speculators made active use today of news affecting the markets and tran sactions seemed to reflect iittle be side jockeying for quick profits and the covering of short sales. Ttis was especially the case in stocks, cotton and sterling exchange. London dispatches reporting signs of a compromise between the strik ing coal miners and government of ficials suDDlied excellent material tor revising upward the quotations of cotton futures and exchange, sterl ine fell 2e-in the morning, thp resultant rate of $3.40 being the lowest since the' first week of March, but when substantial buying orders entered the market late in the busi ness period, the recovery wiped out the loss and lett the rate slightly higher than the day before. The movement of exchange and of com modities sentimentally affected by strife develooments . were hardlv conclusive of a permanent improve ment ,- Much Irregularity. I . In the atock market a great deal of Ir regularity waa disclosed all ' the way along, the stocks showing strength being mainly those In which siieabl short in terest bad been built up. Thus, the sugar share rebounded through, expectation that tha Cuban government and bankers here would shortly arrange to relieve the stress brought about by over speculstiod In sugar and unduly expanded loans. 8hlpplng stocks sdvanced aa did a number of the railroads. Bonds were somewhat more Irregular than the day before. Traction bonda and sharea vtere the subject of speculative bidding on the strength of news that the publto service commission of Pennsylvania waa considering favorably, an application to increaae rates from 6 to 7 cents. Thla development waa worthy of mora than passing Interest, perhaps, because ot em phasis laid six months ago on the appa rent Inability than of Philadelphia Rapid Transit lines to return a profit at 6 cents. Silver Attract Attention. The persistent fall of the price of sliver Is coming In for more attention and study than is usually tlevotod to developments In this mefhl. Interwined with tendencies of commerce In the far east, a protracted decline or advance of the metal has much more meaning in these days of changing market phenomena than la usually con nected with speculative operations cen tered In China or India. Today' ifall of 3o at New York arid 1 H pence at tondon, carried the prices to the lowest level since July 9,-1117. The -lowest quotation of that year was 71 Vc so it Is clear that some powerful forces have bean at Work to over turn the strong position acquired by the metal durlnar the last war year and the subsequent period. India l reported a heavy seller and the deduction to b made la that Indian trade Is passing rapidly through the reaction, being experienced by western nations. Wheat declined from- 6 to cents a bushel on the ' Chicago futures market, which have denoted fresh depression among . holders over the refusal of the treasury and federal reservo board to lend special credit to the growers. But out sid of particular Influences fwh'nd grain market fluctuations stands tne met tnat a large crop has to be marketed In com petition with Increased crops abroad. New York Cotton. New York, Oct 19. Recovery of more than a cent a pound In the cotton mar ket, was shown during the early trading hours December contracts, which . sold off to 17.80c yesterday, advanced to 18.96c, owing to the unexpectedly strong showing or Liverpool ana loss acr.-ve selling by southern Interests. Unofficial reports from the southwest said holding of spot .cotton waa more determined. Stop ordets were, uncovered on the early advance, which carried December up to 18.960 and January to 18.76c, or 106 120 points net higher.. The demand then tapered off, and there were reactions dur ing the middle of the day, with December selling bark to 18.33c, or about 68 points from the beat Ther was renewed covering and the market stiffened In -the afternoon, with December 75 points net higher. i - Htm Tork Sugar.. New Tark, Qct 19. Reports that lead ing bonkers her would aid the financial situation In Cuba and the recent spurt In the demand for reffned sugar seems to be reviving confidence In the local raw sugar market to som extent and a little more activity was reported today. With firm and higher prlcea Ther wer sales of 2,700 bags of Peru for October- shipment, 160 bags of Braxillan centrifugal at 7 He. e. 1. f., and 10,000 baga of Cubas for prompt sblpment at 8c. c 1. f. freight, equal to 9.03o4or centrifugal, the latter represent ing an advance of lo a pound over the last previous sale.

Kansas City Omaha Talephona Dengla 6816. Chicago Grain By CHARLES D, MICHAELS. Cblcaro Tribune-Omaha Bee Leased W ire. Chicago, Oct. 19. -Grain prices were on the'downgr'ade a great part of the day. There were numerous fharp rallies of short duration, but the finish was well toward the. low point, with severe losses. A decided lack of confidence on the part of buyers, coupled with an extremely pessimistic feeling regarding the eco nomic conditions in this country and Europe, were the basis for the sell ing. It was a case of finding a buyer at times, regardless of cost of pro duction or any other conditions.
