COTTON COULD NOT
MOLD ITS ADVANCE
In Local Market Spots 1-8
Cent higher.
Quite unexpectedly, so far the fig
ures were concerned, Buston, the
British authority, projected into the
cotton market yesterday his estimate
•of the cotton crop as 11,000,000 bales.
Liverpool was the first to respond
to the exceedingly bullish estimate,
and when the American markets
opened they too made a sharp ad
vance. Prices went merrily upward
for a while but in the afternoon the
weakness became very pronounced
and the gains were practically all
wiped out.
Stringency in the money market
was the reason ascribed for the de
cline and until the situation is re
lieved efforts to boost cotton values
must be of uncertain effect. How
ever, the moment the financial situa
tion is relieved—which cannot be
long delayed, a permament improve
ment is confidently expected. Coup
led with the small estimate of the
size of the crop the same statistician
estimated that the consumption of
American cotton would be 12,500,000
bales.
The New York market opened 4
to 14 points above the close for Wed
nesday, with December considerably
in the lead. Around the middle of
the day further gains of Bto 14
points were added to the first jump.
Selling became very heavy later on,
the close being steady, near the bot
tom prices, unchanged to 3 points net
higher. Spots prices were not chang
ed. New Orleans opened 6 to 10
points up for the active positions and
kept pace with New Y'ork in the sub
sequent course of prices. The close
was quiet and steady, 1 point lower
for December to 2 points higher for
March, as compared with the previous
final. Spot quotations were advanced
1-Sc.
Liverpol spots were quoted 16
points up with generous sales amount
ing to 10,000 bales. Futures closed
firm at advances of 14 to 16 points.
Receipts at port yesterday were
Savannah 13,765; Galveston 12,332;
New Orleans 6,285. The estimate for
all ports today was 60,000.
In the local spot market transac
tions were made in the morning on
the basis of 10 3-8 cents for good
regularly sold for 75c to sl. Here
Monday and Tuesday at per yards9c.
50c Embroidery at 29c.

(LARK k CO.’S COTTON LETTER
NEW YORK, October 31.—Influen
ced by Buston’s estimates of a crop
of 11,000,000 bales, Liverpool came
thirteen higher and increased the ad
vance to fifteen points, where she
closed firm. Our market followed
suit, and January rose like a rocket
to 10.34. When the section east of
the Mississippi river assures a yield
of 7,500,000 bales, and the “outlying
precincts” west of the river to hear i
from, the absurdity of the estimate I
becomes apparent. Officers of the
Southern Cotton Association and
Farmers Union rushed into print and

insisted upon planters holding “until
the last armed foe expired,” but it is
like shaking a red flag in the face of
a maddened bull to talk holding and
fifteen cents to a Texas farmer who
has his crop on hand. The Little
Rock price fixers have made the Texas
planters over ripe candidates for
the poor house. The financial crisis
may have spent its force, and the
crest of the wave may have passed
Wall street, but tight times are sure
to come in the south and cotton must
be sold. This is easily the largest cot
ton crop ever raised, and the indivi
dual who has deluded himself into
believing in fifteen cents cotton will
some day wake to find he has been
dreaming, that is all.

WAR FOR EXCLUDING
JAPS RIGHTEOUS ONE
Miss. Statesman Wants
White Race Only.
NORFOLK, VA„ October 31.—(Spe
cial) —In an address during the cere
monies of “Free School Day,” John
Sharp Williams, of Mississippi, re
ferred to a war with Japan, if it
came, as a “righteous war.”
He said:
“It is the race which counts, not
the land. The white race, where it
keeps itself white, is great and has
enjoyed primacy, whether in Europe,
America, South Africa, or New Zea
land. A hybrid race is great in no
land, oif no soil, and under no sun.
If we are to retain as people the
heir of all ages in the foremost files |
of time’ we are to keep this a white j
man’s country, doing justice where ■
our laxity—amounting to a crime—
has already confronted us with race
problems, preventing by law, by
force if needful, the further invasion
of other than white races and the fur
ther infusion of other than white
blood, whether it be Chinese, Japan
ese, Hindoo, or negro.
“If the determination of Califor
nians to exclude Japanese shall re
sult in war, it will be the holiest war
ever waged by us.”
“He’s employed by the P. D. Q.
Railroad now, I hear.”
“Yes, he has charge of the puzzle
department.”
“The puzzle department?”
“Yes, he makes out the timetables."
Fine Taffeta Silk at sl.

Corsets at sl.
Some people appear to believe that
we lose money on every pair of Nadia
Corsets we sell. On the contrary,
there’s a fair profit—not large, of
course, for prabably no other cor
sets have ever been sold at so little
over actual worth of material and
work. They are made for us by the
best corsetiers in this country, and
come direct to this store. It doesn’t
cost the maker a penny to place them
on the market, nor can any one dic
tate our retail prices.
At sl, worth $1.50, of Coutil or
Baiste. Three models—one for young
girls or slender women; one high
bust model for long waisted fig
ures; one for the average figure, deep
hip style. All are trimmed with lace
and have hose supporters.
NOTE—If you cannot come we will
send corsets for your inspection. We
want every woman to know that these
are the very best popular priced cor
sets.

OUTLOOK TOR CANAL
CAIRO TO OCEAN'
Boosters Have Received
Some Encouragement.
ATLANTA, GA., October 31.—(Spe
cial) —Boosters of the Cairo to
Brunswick canal project are in good
spirits. Members of Congress have
been approached on the subject and
are reported to have given encourage
ment to those who look for the nat
ional government to take up the pro
ject. The distance is 1,300 miles.
Mr. C. E. Caverly, who is taking
a leading part in the movement says
regarding the outlook for the canal:
Looks Visionary
“This - canal scheme looks vision
ary to a great many people. And yet
a survey was made over thirty-five
years ago and the undertaking has
been pronounced both feasible and
practical. Many of the men now in
congress were attending kindergar
ten when the engineers were using
their theodolities on the line of the
proposed waterway. The matter was
not pressed, however, and in time the
data secured was forgotten.
“The truth is, about that time the
railroad interests and energies of the
country started on that marvelous
construction of railroads which has
placed America far and away ahead
of all other countries in steel track
mileage.
Elevated Aqueduct
“The original survey brought the
canal across the Chattahoochee river
through an aqueduct one hundred and
seventeen feet above the surface of
the water. This aqueduct measure
ment showed three hundred and
seventy-five feet long, thirty feet wide
at the bottom of the chamber, with
a depth of five feet. The general
direction then brought it out to the
Southern railway about three thous
and feet northeast of Sewanee, where
it. would cross the railroad twenty-six
feet beneath the level of the rails.
“All thoughtful observances will
admit that the transportation facili
ties of our country are not keeping
pace with the growth of the ton
nage requiring transport. This dif
ference in condition will, in all prob
ability be widened in the future, and
the necessity for river and canal
transportation be more pressing as
the years go by.
