It Humors about peace having fallen flat and predictions of rain In Argentina having failed to materialise, yes terday's sellers of wheat reinstated some ot their lines this morning and the market moved upward, although there was a feel ing of nervousness on the part of traders. December opened at $1.51 to 11. tl and later sold at ll.CI'i compared with 11.S7T4. yesterday's last price; May ranged from tl.SIK to tl-S74 at tha outset and later touched 11. CH. against tl.C7i at the end yesterday; July started at 21.1214 to I1.J1H. compared with $l.J15s, yesterday's last quotation. An easier tone In the Initial trading at Liverpool was followed by flrmness on a scarcity of export offers nnd more bullish news from Argentina. No moisture was reported anywhere In that country and the barometer wss rising, it wss generally clear and wsrm there.

NEW YORK COFFEE MARKET NEW TOniC, Oct. 7. The coffee market opened easy this morning with first prices showing declines of 2 to 4 points. Trade Interests again appeared to be offering quite freely, but there waa a good demand from outside Interests and the un dertone after the call was Bteady, with prices ranging around the opening level. Trading was moderately active with transactions on the call amounting to 5250 bags. The market ruled about steady after the opening, but there was an apparent desire on the part of certain Interests here to sell coffee, and this checked any aggressive operations which might have occurred on the buying side. The attitude of Braill senes to give the market a rather heavy tone, as shippers there seem disposed to sell, and while coat and freight prices give way closely, offers are quite iiDerai.

Business thin morning was smaller than It has been In some time on the Cotton Exchange, with the only feature covering of shorts on the part ot some prominent Interests. Operations on botlg sides of the market were mixed. Uptown Interests were moderate sellers. The early tone was steady, October ad vancing 7 points. May 1 point and other months showing losses of 1 to 3 points. Cloudy conditions prevailed In the South west, but elsewhere In the belt It was clear. Precipitation was again reported on the Atlantic coast. r Temperatures were somewhat higher and no frost was In sight. Overnight selling orders were soon ab sorbed and the msrket turned firmer on rebuytng by some ot the Wall street people who had sold yestefMay afternoon, a re. newal ot demand from some of the local spot houses and covering. The absence of southern hedge selling In any volume encouraged bullish sentiment, which was also stimulated by reporta that farmers In some section of the belt were already beginning to hold, and the publica tion ot bullish private crop figures. According to Bradstreet's, farmers who were free sellers In the Atlanta district two weeks ago are now holding for higher prices, winie reports to me same authority from Fort Worth say that popular esti mates of the Texas crop, range from 1,500, 000 to 4,000,000 bales. The advance carried January contracts up to 17,11, with active months generally selling about 11 to 16 points net higher. The receipts of cotton at the ports for the day were estimated at 40,000 bales, against 51,210 bales last week and 50,(66 bales lsst year. Tee. Close. Open. Hlrh. I.ow. Close.
