REACTIONS CUT
COTTON’S GAINS
New Orleans, Nov. 27.—While the
cotton market stood at an advance
over the close of the preceding week
throughout the week just ended there
were reactions during the last two
sessions which wiped out a good part
of the gains established in the earlier
sessions. At the highest of the week
prices were 147 to 161 points up while
the close showed gains of only 39 to
60 points. December traded up to
17.82 and closed at 16.70. First De
cember notices- caused considerable
liquidation of the long interest at the
end of the week and liquidation, more
than anything else, was responsible
for the actions. In the spot depart
ment middling gained 75 points in the
net results, closing at 17.25 against
16.00 cents a year ago.
Buying of the early part of the
week was done on Improvement in the
spot situation, apparently due to a de
mand consequent upon the filling of
December commitments, and on the
favorable construction placed on the
ginning figures from the census bu
reau, which made the total output to
the 14th of December, 7,270,525 bales,
indicating production during the
fifth ginning period of only 619,785
bales against 1,406,090 the same pe-
Irlod last year. While the figures
were quite generally accepted as con
firming crop ideas of around 8,000,000
bales, such a yield no longer is look
ed ivpon as a bear argument.
Boll Worm Stimulates Buying
Some of the improvement In the
spot demand was said to bo duo to
purchases by Liverpool, supposed to
be the result of improvement In Meh
Chester owing to the breaking np of
Ghandi boycott in India. Private
cablegrams claimed that hug# ordets
were piling up in Manchester for In

Savannah, Ga., Nov. 23.—Mrs. Mar
garet Elizabeth Nugent, charged with
the death by asphyxiation some
months ago of her two little daugh
ters, one hardly more than a babe,
was yesterday promptly acquitted in
the Superior Court, three physicians,
Drs. J. I. Oliveros and E. H, Corson,
of Savannah, and R. c. Swint, clinic
director of the State Sanitarium at
MUledgeville, testifying that she was
undoubtedl yinsane at the time the act
was committed, which resulted al
most in (her own death, too, and two
physicians declared that she had been
Insane prior to the death of the two
little girls. Dr. Swint testified as to
her being insane for a time two years
ago.
|Mrs. Nugent, who came own from
MUledgeville yesterday, her husband
accompanying her, was calm through
out the trial which lasted not more
than two hours. ,
When Mrs. Ni gent left for the state
sanitarium to which she was commit

tlents may die. Fire Marshal Per
kins ltae tonight said other bodies
might be found in the ruins by day
light, although a search with lea
terns by firemen and poller revealed
only two bodies. Another body was
at the hospital.
The dead, according to medical ex
aminer Scarbrough, were Timothy J.
Hanlon, 58, broken neck. He died be
fore reaching the hospital and was
thought to have died from heart dis
ease.
An elderly woman, yet unidentified,
and a young woman, also unidenti
fied. Both bodies were found on the
fire esaepe. /
For two hours while the flames
rose higher than Hotel Taft, opposite
in College Street, it was feared *the
death list would be heavy. Ambu
lances had carried scores of persons
to the hospitals, many were in the
hotel, hundreds had made their way
home, cut and bruised and scorched,
and spectators told of a stampede at
the cry of ‘‘fire’’ and of bodies being
in heaps upon the main floor. But
when firemen were able to enter the
structure the worst fears were lounJ
to be unfounded.

NEW METHOD OF
COTTON FINANCE
Farmera have found thl3 season that
an expert classing of their cotton is
often worth to them from $1,00 to $4.00
a bale in excess- of tha price* they are
able to socure from casual buyers
without classing. This discovery has
been made through the operation of
the Cotton Certificating and Inspection
Company, of Atlanta, a new company
and a new apllcation ot scientific prin
ciples to the sale of, and borrowing
on cotton by farmers.
The company began operations in
the full pf this year, and Is composed
Of Frank M. Inman, president; J. J.
Williamson, vice president, and Haynes
McFadden, treasurer.' Its purposes
are to weigh, class, seal and certiflqate
cotton In warehouses. The certificates
are resdlly acceptable In bank* as col
lateral for loans, and are given prefer
ence over open warehouse receipt*, as
under this plan each bale bears a fire
