COTTON
NEW YORK, Oct. B.—The cotton market
was Irregular during today’s early trading.
The cables were steady, sterling exchange
firmer, and London reported a more hope
til viw of the coal labor situation. On the
other hand, weather conditions in the south
were considered almost perfect for crop and
field operations while advices from the goods
trade Indicated increasing New England and
mill curtailment. The attention of trad
ere seemed to be divided by thse con
flicting features and after opening steady
and a decline of 10 to 4 4points, prlcese
rallied on a little trade buying and cov
ering. October sold up from 23.-TO to 23.90.
and December 21.70 to 22.02, or back to
about the closing price of yeserday. but
there was moderate selling for southern ac
count and the advance was not maintained.
The market showed continued irregularity
later. Advances met scattered soutnern
seeling but on the declines there was some
buying for trade account as wel las cover
ing, and the market showed sufficient ab
sorbing powers to give it a fairly steady
undertone. After the early rally to 22.02,
December broke to 21.53 or 49 points lower,
but later showed rallies of 20 or 30 points.
A good many reports of a steadier spot
situation were received from the south but
buying on them was restricted by the favor
able weather news and glpomy reports from
the goods trade.
’ Trading was quiet during the early aft
ernoon and fluctuations were narrow, with
December ruling around 21.60, or about
42 points net lower.

NEW ORLEANS. Oct. 8. —The trend was
lower in the early trading in cutton today
for which the continued favorable weather
over the belt and iwor accoums from cot
ton guods markets were resnponsible. In the
first hour of business, prices lost 27 to 42
points, December dropping to 20.95 and May
to 20 cents. Poor cables were also against
values, causing liquidation of long cotton
op the first call.
Reports of short time among New Eng
land mills and of many Japanese mills and
of many Japanese mills closing down in
creased the sealing pressqr eand the decline
was widened to 27 to 58 points. December
traded as low as 20.79 and was weaker
than the later months. Late in the morn
ing the tone was steadier with prices 20 to
25 points up from the lowest.
The near months continued to fel more
«_ less selling pressure, some of it evi
dently in the way of liquidation of long
cotton, but the distant months were stead
ier. Late in the day. December was down
to 20.74 with the list showing net losses
of 27 to 63 points.

BOTH CANDIDATES
THANK FRIENDS
FOR THEIR VOTES
Both candidates for the governor
ship have given out statements com
menting on the outcome of the cam
paign, Mr. Hardwick expressing his
gratification over the victory and
promising a ‘‘clean, decent business
administration,” while Mr. Walker
took occasion to convey "his deepest
appreciation to his friends through
out the state, also indicating aig in
tention to “co-operate in every for
ward movement looking to the bet
terment of our people and the uplift 1
of the state."
Dun & Co.’s Report of
Nine Months’ Failures
The present decisive movement toward
economic readjustment has drawn attention
more sharply to the statistics of failures,
which unmistakably reflect the changed con
ditions in business. While allowau e for
the fact that last year’s mortality was ab
normally moderate somewhat qualifies the
comparison, yet commercial reverses in the
fiist nine months of 1920 were 10.9 per cent
larger in number and 81.3 per cent greater
in total of liabilities tliar those of that
period of 1919, and during recent months;
the increase has been especially rapid
Numbering 5,38-3 in the UnPed States, and
involving $166,577,471 of indebtedness, the
nine months' insolvencies contrast witli the
4,836 failures for $88,941,608 reported to
R. G. Dun & Co. last year, and with 8,009
defaults for $122,975,024 in the first nine
months of 1918. Numerically, this year s
exhibit is the best, excepting the remark
ably favorable showing of 1919, since shat
of 1882. but the liabilities are heavier than
those of all years back to 1915, and the
third quarter’s returns, as well as the Sep
tember statement, show in what manner the
bus’ness death rate has lately been rising.
The third quarter's failures, 2,031 for $71),-
833,595, are 45.8 per cent more numerous
and 294.6 per cent larger in amount of in
debtedness than those of the third quarter of
1919, while September’s 677 defaults for
$29,554 288 disclose in* reuses of 4.3.1 and
2-36.2 per cent, respectively. More than
this, the third quarter’s insolvencies exceed
in number these of any quarter since the
third quarter of 1918, and the number of
September reverses is greater than that of
any month, aside from July of this year,
back to December. 1918.
In the following table, the number of
failures in each month of the nine months’
period is compared for three years, with
figures of liabilities for 1920:

SWTpARD It G7 OCK CUTTON LETTER
NEW ORLEANS. Oct. B.—Continued un
favorable reports from mill centers, both
in this country and abroad, wer» against val
ues in the cotton market today as was
also the goed weather over the belt. In
terior markets sent in word that farmers
were holding tight but not much wn« said
about the demand. The bearish feature
of mill reports was that many plants were
going on short time. 55 list the market
needs as n sustaining influence is an. in
creased business on the spot.
COTTON MARKET OPINIONS
R. H. Hopper &• Co.: It seems now to
be only a question of when mills will enter
Ihe market and at these levels prices seem
attractive enott"h to wnTant execution of a
better demand from and spinners soon.
; We continue to advise against selling of
cotton.
S. M. Weld H Co.: That producers will
be rel ic’ant sellers at present levels Is to
Do expected, but as the movement of the
crop becomes more general lower prices are
indicated, in our opinion.
Moyse & Holmes: We advocate sales on
all hard spots.
J. W. Jay & Co.: In pur judgment hold
ers of cotton will undoubtedly withdraw
from the market on the decline.
Munds. Rogers & Stackpole: We do not
care to follow the market up from these
levels.
Dust Box Needed
Chickens never wash, as many
other birds do, but cleanse them
l selves of insects by wallowing in
| soil. For this reason every poultry
house should be provided with a dust
box.

Baseball Inquiry
i Temporarily Halted
By District Attorney
j New York, Oct. 7.—The inquiry be
1 ing conducted here into local phase*
of the world’s series gambling scan
dal of last year, has come to a stand
still, Assistant District Attorney
Jam6s E. Smith admitted today. He
said his detectives failed to locate
three alleged gamblers, one of them
Abe Attell. former featherweight
champion. in a three-day hunt
through the city. Grand jury sub
poenas were carried by the detec
tives.
“There is no hurry, as the crime
was a year ago,” declared Mr. Smith,
adding that he was going to “sit
tight” and watt, confident that "soon
er or later” the trio would show up
at their customary haunts.
HOUSTON FIRM
IN POSITION ON
FARM PRODUCTS
WASHINGTON, Oct. 7.—Revival
of the war finance corporation to
finance exporters was declared to be
unnecessary by Secretary Houston in
answering letters from unnamed cor
respondents, who had urged that
course. Present Indications are for
a record year of exports and that it
is evident that private capital is suc
cessfully financing the exporters’
operations, Mr. Houston said.
The letters reiterated the treasury
policy of encouraging aid to the
farmers in crop movement, but said
the suggestion that the treasury de
posit funds in agricultural sections
for loans to the farmers was “highly
unfeasible.” The treasury, he said,
was not In the banking business and
had been compelled to borrow itself
at high rates to meet current require
ments between tax payments.
Orderly marketing of groups al
ways has been fostered by the treas
ury as well as the federal reserve
board, Mr. Houston said, but added
that the department frowns on the
employment of borrowed funds to
maintain “war or higher than war
prices.”
Discussing curtailed loans, Mr.
Houston said he believed the condi
tions complained of were in no way
under control of the banks.
“No one wishes to have the prices
lowered in the things he produces.”
the letter said. “But the consumer
apparently has made up his mind
not to continue to pay high prices.
Much trouble, which Is attributed to
the banks of the country and credit
ccnditlons, unquesHonably arises
from fundamental conditions over
which the banks have no control.”
Detailed reports from the banks
show the croii movements are being
financed amply, the secretary said,
adding that there was no reason why
the falling prices on those products
should be attributed to lack of credit.
The federal reserve board and treas
ury are in accord on the program of
encouraging extension of such credit
by the banks he said.
HEREDITY IN BLOOD
FIGURES IN FAMOUS
MIXED BABY CASE
(Continued frem Fage 1)
own baby again, but took it ’ away
immediately and gave it to Mrs.
Rittman. She said she knew It was
her baby because it had the scratch
on the eye.
Mrs. Garner said she never ac
cepted the wrong baby as her own,
but had to take it when she left the
hospital because she knew there was
nobody else to mother it. She said
she protested to the very last to
Miss Edgeworth, the head nurse,
who, according to Mrs. Garner,
laughed and told her she had the
right one. The baby she took home
with her. she said, differed from her
other children in its blue eyes, its
burnished golden hair and its cheeks
streaked with red. Moreover, she
declared. It was a “good baby,”
all her other children had kicked and
cried and squalled.
Mrs. Garner said she went to the
Pittmans several times and tried to
get them to swap, but that while Mr.
Pittman admitted Mary Elizabeth
had the Pittman hair and eyes. Mrs.
Pittman refused to entertain any
simh nroposltion.
During the cross examination of
Mrs. Garner the defense brought in
Lillie Wright, the negro maid who
was on duty at the Grady hospital
at the time the alleged “swap” is
said to have occurred. Mrs. Garner
identified Lillie as the girl who
brought her the wrong baby. Much
to the surprise of some in the court
room Lillie Wright is an entirely
different negro from the ‘‘Lillie
Crawford," who was “discovered” by
an Atlanta newspaper last yeer.
At 12:45 o’clock Judge Bell ad
journed court until 9:30 Friday morn
ing. Just before adjournment he
Instructed the Garners and the Pitt
mans both to have all their children
in court when the case was resumed.

MARYLAND AGAIN
APPEARS SAFE
FOR DEMOCRATS
BY DAVTD T'ATW"*”
(Leased Wire Service in The Journal.)
(Copyright, 1920 )
BALTIMORE, Md„ Oct. 7.—No
body’s Maryland as yet. Somebody
with a talent for cartooning might
portray both Harding and Cox sing
ing the historic hymn of this state,
but neither one can confidently say
“My Maryland.” Republicans un
doubtedly had it up to ten days ago,
but things are looking better for
Governor Cox. It’s nip and tuck.
Since Maryland is normally a Dem
ocratic state and clings to the pre
judices which have kept the solid
south from voting the Republican
ticket, theres an especially sinifl
cance in the fact that the race is
even. It means that the Republican
tide has Invaded Maryland.
The Democrats are desperately try
ing to stem the tide and turn it in
the other direction. Confidence that'
they will do so and win the state
for Governor Cox is at the moment
based entirely on the efficiency of
the Democratic organization in the
city of Baltimore, where the battle
ground is this year. It seems to be
conceded that the counties outside of
Baltimore will not go heavily for
either candidate, and that the real
majority will be furnished in this
city.
Normally Democratic
Th state went lor Bryan as
Taft and even Parker carried it in
104 against Roosevelt. When the
en ire east was swept by Hughes,
Maryland stood firm for Wilson with
the unprecendentcd majority of
twenty thousand. It would take a
political earthquake to shift the
state to the Republican ticket. The
Republicans think the resentment
; against Wilson : administration is
sufficiently strong to produce just
such an upheaval, but while inroads
unquestionably have been made, the
Democrats have been aroused by the
prospect of losing the state.
Again and again when things have
seemed hopeless the Democratic
leaders have managed to capture the
state in the last few weeks of the
campaign. They are starting out to
do the same thing now.
The desire for a cnange of ad
ministration and the consistent op
position of such large newspapers
as the Baltimore News to the
League of Nations have Lad their
effect on the situation. On the other
hand, the Baltimore Sun. which has
remained friendly to the league
throughout, has managed also to re
tain for Wilson, relatively spe.'.king.
more friends in Maryland than sup
porting newspapers have been able
to keep in other states.
Con’s Friends Get Ettsy
Also many of the prominent inde
pendents or Republicans who es
poused the League of Nations before
it became a political issue have come
out openly for Governor Cox as a
greater friend of the league than
Harding. Principal among these are
Dr. William H. Welch, of Johns Hop-
I kins, who is revered as one of the
intellectuals of the state, and Theo
dore Marburg, who was Taft’s min
ister to Belgium and cannot be sus
pected of excessive championship of
things Democratic.
The sort of campaign the Repub
licans have been making was calcu
lated to win the state. They quietly
nursed along the anti-administration
sentiment and did not stir up party
feeling. But the registration figures
tn the first of the seven days show
ing the extraordinary situation of a
Republican majority even though
slight, acted as an alarm clock for
• the Democrats.
They promptly got busy and it is
their activity which makes many an
observer think that after all the
state will go Democratic by a reduced
majority over fonr
growth of Republicanism cannot be
j discounted, lor u *ve<».or it-.c .j.
i Democrat, who made his campaign
• almost entirely on national issues
i two years ago, won by only a few
