SMALL GAINS MADE
IN COTTON MARKETS
Trading in Local Spots Was
Very Limited.
For the week-end, prices in the
cotton contract market generally
made small gains. Liverpool regis
tered a good gain at the opening in
response to the favorable American
market of Friday. The New York (
market came unchanged to 5 points (
higher while New Orleans opened 16 j
to 22 points higher, having sagged j
badly at the previous close. The bear
leader issued another circular but
this did not have much effect. Prices
early in the day showed a tendency
to climb, hut selling was renewed in
such volume that the market eased
off. The movement was nearly as
large as last year at the same time
and this was taken as an indication
of a forcing of cotton on the market. j
Covering lifted values a little, but
the close was nearly at the lowest
for the day.
New York made a net gain of 1 to
4 points for the session, while New
Orleans was unchanged to 6 points
higher for December and January.
Spot prices in the former market ad
vanced 10 points. New Orleans spots
were quoted at 10 5-8 cents, an ad
vance over Thursday of 1-8 of a cent.
Liverpool spots were 2 points high
er with sales of *6,000 bales for the
short session. Futures closed 8 1-2
to 17 points higher, -the October —
November option making the largest
gain. Receipts at Savannah were
14,521 bales and at New Orleans 7,-
976. The total at airports was 50,-
000 against 58,000 last year.
In the Americus spot market trad
ing was very limited, the factors and
producers being disinclined to force
sales. The receipts by wagon for
the
light record for the last day of the
week. Quotations are reduced 1,-8 of
a cent from the day before.

| CLAItK A CO.’S COTTON LETTER
NEW YORK. Nov. 2.—Liverpool in
the future division divided honors
with us yesterday and came about
ias due. The spot column only show
ing an advance of 2 points which is
certainly a very bad sign. The
resiliency of this market is certainly
phenomenal in the face of such ad
verse financial difficulties, having ad
vanced 68 points in three days. The
only cause that we can see is the
fear of the bear contingent regard
j ing the size of the next ginners re
' port and the issuance of a very bear
ish circular by Mr. Price. It is al
ways a safe proposition that when
this gentleman comes out on either
| side of tlie market there is a trick
l in it. The movement is increasing
every day and spinners taking for
the week were not far behind
those of last year. .With the short
crowd cleaned ‘up the market faces
j a beginning of bull liquidation that
' is going to be hard to handle by the
bull Crowd. The banks are all hard
pushed and will advise the farmer
to turn loose on this advance,
Orleans encountered heavy liquida
tion after our close and there was
heavy selling 'from the bear crowd
on account of the rank bank state
ment. We think the market has ad
vanced enough until the heavy move
ment has been cared for and it should
be sold on every advance.

OFFICERS WHO DIDN’T
RIDE MAY BE RETIRED
Twelve Failed to Undertake
Hike.
WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov. 2.
(Special)—As an indirect result of
the equestrian test ordered recently
by the President for officers of the
army above the rank of major, twelve
officers, ranging in grades from ma
jor to colonel, has been ordered to
appear before a retiring board at the
Washington Barracks, November 12,
for examination as to whether they
should be retired on account of
physical disability.
None of these officers took part in
the riding test, though they would
have done so had not army surgeons
reported that their participation might
result seriously for them. Every
officer who was ordered to take the
ride tfas first examined by the army
doctors, and only those were permit
ted to enter the lists whose health, in
the opinion of the medical men, would
not be impaired by the trial of en
durance.
Os course it does not follow neces
sarily that because an officer is or
dered before a retiring board for ex
amination that the board will find
him physically disqualified for fur
ther active service in the army. Nei
ther is it by any means inevitable
that an officer who may l>e found j
disabled will be retired. Inasmuch j
as it lies within the discretion of the 1
President to continue him on the ac- j
tive list. At the same time, it seems j
quite certain that some of the officers j
who will appear before an examining j
board will be compelled to go into re-!
tirement.

BRITISH CELEBRATE
6UY FAWKES DAY
Celebration Similar to 4
American Fourth.
LONDON, Nov. 2.—(Special)— I
With the customary fireworks, bon~
fires and patriotic addresses, parades 1
I and demonstrations, Guk Fawkes jdajr,
, the British “Fourth of July” will be
celebrated throughout England Tues
day. The occasion of the celebration
is the anniversary of the attempt to
blow up the British house of parlia
ment, king, lords and commons, by
, Guy Fawkes and his fellow conspira
tors in 1605.
Although the enthusiasm manifested |
l is not as great as in past year 3, j
and the celebration is gradually los— I
itig its national and historical signifi- *
cance, the holiday will be generally
observed, especially by the children.
The name of Great Britain's great
est and noisiest gala day is some
what misleading, in that the whole
credit or onus of the “gunpowder Jj
plot” has been popularly laid on the si
shoulders of Guy Fawkes, whereas
history records that he was far from
being the most important of the plot
ters and appears to have been chosen
by the chief conspirators 'because
of his coolness and courage.
Fawkes, who was detailed to fire
the train which would blow up parlia
ment house, was taken as he was
leaving the vault, and the rest of the
conspirators were either killed or
captured at Dunchurch, where they
, fled. Fawkes was terribly tortured,
and though he- was rendered so
weak that he could scarcely mount
tlie scaffold, he retained his magni
ficent fortitude to the end.
By an act of parliament, the mem
bers of which had barely escaped a
terrible death, November 5 was pro
claimed a day of thanksgiving for
ever. For two centuries afterward
the annual celebrations were marked
by riotous excesses, in which drunk
en men and women paraded the
streets all day, carrying effigies of
Guy Hawkes, which at night were
burned in huge conflagrations to the
accompaniment of fireworks, drink
ing, dancing and mad cries.
The fierce religious hatred once
engendered in the breasts of Pro
testants and Catholics alike on the
annual' recurrence of Guy Fawkes
day has now died out and the anni
versary has now become little more
than a general holiday, with nearly
all thought of its tragic significance
vanished from the minds of the pres
ent generation.
