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.

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. NEW ORLEANS COTTON The following were the ru ces in the exchange today: Tone, steady; middling, 22.25 c, steady.

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: Number Liabilities. 1920. 1919. 1918. 1920.

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.

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.

Roeebud Perfumw Company, Box 51 Woodsboro, Maryland 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 M’DONALD TRIAL CONTINUED UNTIL NEXT THURSDAY Owing to a number of witnesses from out of town being present to testify in other cases In the superior criminal court Thursday morning the trial of Frank McDonald, charged with murder, was continued by Judge John D.
