' COTTON TOOK SHARP
UPTURN AT NEW YORK
In Americus Market Spots
Sold I-8c Up.
Liverpool and New York had the
cotton market all to themselves yes
terday, New Orleans being closed on
account of All Saints’ Day, which is a
legal holiday in Louisiana.
The English market swung back
with more violence than was warrant
ed by the New York cables of the day
before and the size of the decline was
a very distinct disappointment. It
* had been hoped by some that Liver
j p6ol would ignore largely the finan
cial troubles in Wall street. As a
result of this weakness abroad, New
York opened at loss of 4 to 8 points
from the previous close. Values dis
played irregularity during the morn
ing, prices at times being slightly be
low the opening. In the afternoon
values began to climb steadily and
when the gong sounded were close
to the very best, 24 points up for
December and 6 to 16 points up for
other active positions, as compared
with the close for Thursday. The
spot quotation was unchanged. Re
turning confidence in the money mar
ket in view of the arrival of a large
shipment of gold early next week,
was a factor in the advance.
Spots at Liverpool were quoted 10
points lower with sales of 8,000 hales.
Futures closed 10 to 13 points lower,
being about the same as the opening
decline.
The receipts at all ports for the
day were 38,000 bales, of which Sav
am ih got 14,215, Galveston 10,864
and New Orleans 4,212. The receipts
for the same day last year were 60,-
214 bales. The estimates for today
are: Houston 10,000 to 11,000; Gal
veston 13,000 to 15,000; New Orleans
6,000 to 8,000.
In the Americus spot market sales
were generally made on a basis of
H 3-8 cents for good middling, which
was an advance of 1-8 of a cent over
the quotations for the day before.
Buyers and sellers were together on
prices and all offerings were in de-
maud on the basis named. The re-
for the day were 468 bales.

operators did not take the Buston es
timate seriously, and came 13
lower on futures and 10 down on

was featureless. New Orleans was
closed and the “bulls of yesterday”
used what little’money they had left
in buying flowers to decorate the
graves of departed saints. There
is no joy in Creolevijle. Fluctuations
were of minor importance; there was
no business. Over the belt the sun

the price is for Monday and Tuesday

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
w r ork. 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 w'aisted fig
ures; one for the average figure, deep
hip style. All are trimmed with lace
and have hose supporters.

send corsets for your inspection. We

ELOPING LOVERS
BARRED BY PASTOR
NEW YORK, Nov. I.—(Special)
Eloping lovers and others who seek
hasty or secret marriages will no
longer find a Gretna Green in the
Little Church Around the Corner, fa
mous throughout the country for the
romantic unions that have been ef
fected there.
This is the decision of Rev. Dr. Geo.
C. Houghton, rector of the church.
He declared that hereafter the sanc
tuary over which he presides shall
not be the place for the performance
of ill-advised marriages nor of any
kind that cannot be considered regu
lar in the fullest sense of the term.
To that end Rev. Dr. Houghton says
that when it is possible publicity
shall attend any marriage at which
he may officiate henceforth. It is his
purpose that the banns shall be
published in the old-fashioned way
before the ceremony, so that any third
person who may know that there are
reasons why it should not take place
may he able to appear and perhaps
save a lifetime of repentance on one
side or the other.
In discussing the matter Dr.
Houghton said:
“In deciding to require the publica
tion of banns I felt that it could do
no possible harm and would do good.
If there is no good reason why a
marriage should not be solemnized
there Is no harm to be done in the
majority of cases by giving the af
fair publicity. On the other hand, if
there is good reason why the mar
riage should be prevented, you can
see where a world of trouble and
sorrow is blocked.”

DWELLING WOULD MAKE
AN IDEAL HOSPITAL
Harrold Home Might Be
Secured.
The beautiful U. B. Harrold resi
dence for the Americus Hospital.
Such is the suggestion put forth by
officials and friends of that splendid
institution, and it meets with the
greatest favor among those with whom
it has been discussed.
Certainly an ideal building, ideally
situated.
The property is for sale by the es
tate, and while not discussed by the
owners it is believed it would be sold
for this purpose and at a price that
could be secured.
Friends of the hospital are already
interested in the suggestion and are
willing to get to work to that end if
it meets with approval.
The building now occupied for hos
pital purposes is only leased, and
this lease will soon expire, and while
it might be renewed, the friends of
the institution prefer to either buy
it, or some other property equally con
venient.
And the Harrold mansion meets
every requirement, both in size and
point of location.
It is large and splendidly construct
ed and possesses every modern con
venience of and ideal Sou
thern retreat, such as sug
' gested. The grounds include
several acres of beautiful greensward
making it a beautiful home indeed.
With the amount of money on
hand, it is believed the liospital As
sociation lian easily raise the balance
of the purchase money required in the
event it is decided to secure this sup
erb old Southern home for the Ameri
cus hospital.
While the matter has only been
suggested thus far, it meets with
very general favor.
