Jno. F. Clark & Company’s
Cotton Letter
New York, Oct. 2.—Cotton started
easier on selling due to the publi-)
cation of the Amoskeag statement
showing nearly three million dollars
loss for their fiscal year and a map
that was clear and warmer every
where. Leading bulls, however, took
the contracts and by consistent sup
port of the market worked it up by
noon to a point where a short inter
est was apparently dislodged forcing
December quiculy to 25.80 and cre
ating a market sufficiently big to
permit of heavy profit taking.
There was no fresh news of in
terest during the session. Bull ar
guments were the possibility of un
favorable weather in Oklahoma, Ar
kansas and Texas and government
report next week, while bears cited
the 580 point advance and inability
of the mills to do business as good
reason not to follow the advance.
General business was again light
and market regarded as profession

Tropical Martians Must Freeze; Hovers
Temperature Near Zero
Washington, Oct. 2.—Belief that
the temperature of Mars is low and
its atmosphere rare was expressed
yesterday by the Carnegie Inatitu
tion of Washington, announcing the
results of the observations made at
the Mount Wilson Oservatory in Cal
ifornia during the recent approach
of the planet to the earth.
Measurements of the temperature
and heat radiation of Mars were
made with a vacuum thermo-couple
attached to the observatory’s 100
mission screens from the rionrerm
Inch reflecting telescope. Transmis
sion screns were used so that the
light reflected from the planet and
the thermal radiation from its heat
ed surface could Jbe separated and
analyzed. The report says:

Woman
Novelist Joins
Democratic Party
Washington, Oct. 2,—The winning
of Ida M. Tarbell to the standard of
Democracy has created a great deal
of interest among the women voters
not alone of Washington, but of the
entire east.
Miss Tarbell, for many years one
of the editors of McClure’s Magazine,
author of a life of Lincoln that is
authoritative and author also of a
story on the Standard Oil Company
that created a sensation when it was
printed, has declared for Davis and
Bryan.
Miss Tarbell’s reasons for deciding
to support Mr. Davis’ candidacy are
that the Republican tariff is unjust,
the Teapot Dome and other naval oil
leases were another raid on the treas
ury, and that Mr. Davis always stood
with the liberals in congress.
One of the latest wonders of sci
ence is the man made reproduction
of minerals.

the Palmer building is larger than
that used in any even of the state
campaigns except for the principal
offices in the most heated fights.
Hon. J. L. Sibley, who will be in
charge of the headquarters, came to
Atlanta from Milledgeville today and
will be at the Kimball house until
the general election.

Friedrichshafen, Oct. 2.—Dr. Hugo
Eckner, director of the Zeppelin com
pany, yesterday announced he
expected that the giant dirigible
ZR-3 would leave here on her trans
continental flight to Lakehurst, N. J.,
early on the morning of October 8.
He said he believed the airship
would arrive at her destination the
night of October 10 or early the fol
lowing day, depending on wind and
weather conditions.
The Zeppelin director explained
that the date of the departure had
been changed from October 6, the
one originally announced, because of
the necessity of making slight alter
ations in the motors.
