The only buying of consequence was apparently the profit taking by the shorts and some buying by the spot people. The impression seemed to prevail that there was a scattered long interest in fhe market held by the public and thi* belief has been strengthened by th€ general selling during the morning, i his class of selling has undoubtedly piacad the market in a more healthy condition technically but the feeling around the ring is to follow the wave and sentiment at the moment it is in favor of a further downward reaction and for the time being bullish factor* are being overlooked. While it may a* further setback cotton bought on this break, on a scale down would seem to offer good possibilities of a nice profit. If ypu like the Herald as spaper tell your about it. The Journal of Commerce has sent out the following special report: Texas: Excessive rains have done considerable damage and delayed picking. The crop is only 74 per cent gathered, against 82 per cent last year, 84 per cent in 1911 and 85 per cent in 1910. The grade has been lowered and some cotton is rotting in the bolls. But little top crop is ex pected and cotton is generally maiV. keted as fast as it is gathered. A small percentage is being held. Cor respondents generally look for a smaller yield than last year. Oklahoma: Excessive rains have caused cotton to sprout in the bolls some sections and has generally damaged the grade. Killing frosts around October 22 destroyed pros pects for a top crop. Cotton is mar keted as fast as picked and little or none is held. About 64 per cent of the crop is picked, against 54 per cent last year, 62 per cent in 1911 and 61 per cent in 1910. Yield is generally ex pected to fall far below last year. Missouri: Conditions are turning out slightly better than were antici pated, but excessive rains did consid erable damage. Miss Giles makes the following statement from Mississippi concern ing the crop condition: Owing to the lateness of the season and much premature opening of boll, a condition report at this season of the year is valueless. This time last year a condition report was given because of the lateness of the crop, which was 63.9 per cent. She states .picking returns show 67 per cent gath ered, against 70 per cent last year and 75 per cent in 1911. Very little is ex pected of the top crop on account of frosts around October 20. The grade has been greatly impaired by rains and low temperatures. In many in stances the quality is the worst on record. The average quality in the staple is given as 76 per cent. She reiterates her preliminary crop estimate of 13,500,000 bales. The following is the average qual ity o& the staple, .of that portion.©f the'crop ^ihicE has been picked and is opened ana ready to be gathered: North Carolina, 83 per cent; South Carolina, 85 per cent; Georgia, 87 per cent; Florida, 90 "per cent; Ala bama, 82 per cent; Mississippi, 79 per cent; Louisiana, 71 per cent; Texas, 70 per cent; Arkansas, 70 per cent; Tennesseg^86 per cent; Oklahoma, 68 per cent. Average, 76.1 per cent. OPINIONS. Logan & Bryan: Declines should afford good buying opportunities. Morris H. Rothschild & Co.: still favor the constructive side and recommend purchases on breaks. Miller & Co.: We believe support will hold prices until the market ready for another advance. Shearson, Hammil & Co.: We be lieve the market will resume its up ward trend in the near future.

GET A TIE CLASP FREE WITH OMAR CIGARETTES One of the niftiest bits of mascu line jewelry which the New York hab erdashers are showing is the Clois onne Enamel tie clasp, to hold the scarf in shape on the shirt front. No sooner did this clasp get to be rage among the swagger dressers of the metropolis than the American Tobacco Company decided to buy a plentiful supply and give them away free to its customers. With every pack of Omar Cigar ettes, one of these beautiful tie clasps is given away—while the supply lasts. But there are so many thousands of Omar smokers in town that you had better hurry if you want one. And every man who likes to dress will surely want one. The company reports that Omar is the most amazingly successful cig arette they have ever made; it is rapidly advancing to double the sale of any other cigarette in the world. It is a cigarette of the Turkish Blend variety, sells twenty for fifteen cents, and in addition to the special offer of the Cloisonne tie clasp always packs large Navajo blanket, 5% by 8% inches in size, in each package. tONIAL THEATRE .ONLY, OCT. 31st iderworld” GOSSIP The Bank of England rate is un changed, at 5 per cent.
