COTTON
NEW YORK, Oct. 18.—The cotton mar
ket was extremely nervous and unsettled
during today's early trading. There was
• good deael of covering, with trade buying,
find probably buying for a reaction after
the severe break of last week. On the
•ther hand, the south continued selling,
■while there was liquidation on reports that
• British trade had been brought to almost a
standstill by the coal strike and the weak
ness of the Liverpool market. The open
ing was 13 points higher to 20 points lower
• xcept for September, which was 60 points
higher, and active months sold about 30 to
<0 points below Saturday's closing, during
the early trading, with December touching
IS. 17 and March 18.00. Cable advices stated
that 28,000 Lancashire operatives were idle
because of the coal 1 strike and that fifty
per cent of the British spindles were ex
pected to be idle by the end of this week
•hould the strike continue.
The midday rally carried December np to
18.82 and January to 18.82 wit active
months generally selling 10 to 22 points net
higher. These advances met further scat
tered southern selling and th, market eased
off again around 2 o’clock on reports of dis
turbing labor demonstrations in England.
December sold off to 18.40, or about 20
points net lower.
There was enough covering, investment
or trade buying to check the at the
18-cent level for January and later deliv
eries, or about 30 or 40 points below Sat
urday’s closing figures. Trading then be
came less active and there were rallies of
40 or 60 points from the lowest later in
the morning, although there was no change
in the general character of the news. Now
that the long threatened British coal strike
has actually started, a disposition to buy
in anticipation of a setlemen is reported,
but early buyers for a reaction withdrew
rn the rally pending more settled conditions
r southern spot markets. «

NEW ORLEANS COTTON
NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 18.—The English,
labor situation was responsible for liberal
offerings on the opening of the cotton mar
ket today and before trading had gone
« very far prices were 30 to 57 points under
5 the close of Saturday, with all months mak
ing new low levels for the season. De
cember fell off to 17.55 and May to 17.23.
At the decline a good character erf buying
was felt and, many traders who pave beep
on the short side appeared to hate 'evened
up and' taken to the long side on th* - theory
that cotton had reached an investment fea
,*ls. At the end of the first hour of business
prices were 30 to 40 points up from the
lowest.
The market went all to pieces in the late
trading, falling 99 to 119 points from the
highest, which carried December to 17.11
and May to 16.89, new low levels. The
break was due to report that many Lan
cashire cotton mills would be idle by the
end of week, to the story that Scottish rail
road men had voted to join the coal miners
and to reports of red riots in Downing
■treet, London.
At the lowest the trading months were
65 to 89 points under the closing level of
last week.

COTTON MARKET OPINIONS
Moyse & Holmes: We recommend conserv
ative purchases at present prices and on a
scale down.
Hubbard Bros. & Co.: The market now
is getting to a point where short sales would
be dangerous and the trade should begin to
think of taking in some cotton at these
prices.
Gwathmey & Co.: Until a greatly im
proved demand develops from this (trade)
source it is difficult to see any basis for a
permanent or substantial recovery in prices.
S. M. Weld & Co.: In spite of the great
weakness in the market we feel that it is
time to begin looking for the bottom.

SHEPARD & GLUCK COTTON LETTER
NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 18. —After moderate
declines in the early tradng today, for which
the English coal strike and fear of further
complications were responsible, the cotton
market assumed a much better tone on cov
ering by shorts and fresh buying from trad
ers who thought the decline, had gone far
enough and that prices were so far below
the cost of production as to warrant buying
more for Investment than for speculaton.
The market seems to be in a position to re
spond to any further demand or to any good
now*.

display of handiwork of various
kinds, culinary products and all man

much attention. The display of
paintings from some of the famous

excellent canvases are on exhibition.
In the liberal arts building are also
found displays of appliances for the
home, all sorts of modern conven
iences such as phonographs, electric
washing machines and dishwashers,
tireless cookers and similar devices
Food products of more or less nation

are demonstrated at small booths
erected along the sides of the build
ing.
The automobile building is filled as
never before with cars of all makes,
kinds and escrlptions. with sales
men and demonstrators in attendance
to explain the merits of each machine
to visitors and prosnective pur
chasers. The display of automobiles
this year is said to be more exten
sive than ever before in the history
of the fair.
As a sort of added attraction the

NEW YORK RING
CAUSED SLUMP,
WILLIAMS SAYS
WASHINGTON, Oct. 18.—“Uunjus
tifiable Interest exacted on demand
loans” by New York city banks has
been an active contributing cause
of the “huge shrinkage” in all secur
ity values during the past years,
Comptroller of the Currency Wil
liams declared tonight In a formal
statement. He charged that call mon
ey rates in New York were the high
est in the world and that “renewal’’
rates fixed dally by a small “coterie”
of stock exchange brokers governed
“the interest charged on brokers’
loans in nearly all New York banks. ’
“The raising or lowering of the re
newal rates on the exchange,” said
Mr. Williams, “is frequently accom
panied by upward or downward move
ments in stocks and securities, and
those responsible for the fixing of
the rate, therefore, have the oppor
tunity, whether exercised or not, of
profiting largely by operations on the
stock market, which is so often and
directly affected by the call money
sltuatiorl. I do not, of course, un
dertake to say that this formal ‘mon
ey committee’ does take improper ad
vantage of their foreknowledge, but
there are critics who severely cen
sure the existing arrangements.
Grip on Heart of Commerce
“Power to fix money rates for all
or nearly all, of the banks in New
York city, and to change them daily
’is a grip on the heart of our com
merce. It permits such Interferences
as fallible human judgment, whim
or interest may direct with the nat
ural and orderly movements of mon
ey, the life blood of business. The
matter of arbitrary fixing money
rates at the money center, possibly
reversing the natural and healthy
flow and affecting, directly or indi
rectly, billions of dollars of security
values and other property, is left to
a small and varying number of pri
vate citizens without official respon
sibility, deciding in a moment and'
in secret.

clared the farmers will support the

Giant Shark Attacks
Wilmington Fisherman
WILMINGTON, Del—George F.
Lang, one of the most expert deep
sea anglers in this state, had a nar
row escape from a shark while fish
ing off the Kent county shore in
Delaware bay a few days.
Lang, with several other fisher
men, was aboard a yacht and was
casting for big weakfish, using a
heavy line and a hook of extra
length. He had caught a twelve
pound trout and was working him in
toward the landing net when a huge
man-eating shark made a sweep
through the water, intercepted the
fish and swallowed it, hook, sinker
and all.
Lang played it for several minutes
and then the shark turned and rushed
toward the yacht and sprang into
the air, just missing his captor’s
arm. Its teeth snapped as they
clinched, passing near to the ang>er,
but it dropped back into the water.
It had bitten the line in two and so
escaped.
The other anglers on the yacht de
scribe the encounter as most thrill
ing.
officers and 420 men. with three bat
teries of French 75 field guns drawn
by motor tractors.
The battalion will remain in camp
at the fair grounds during the entire
week and will give a demonstration
on a day yet to be determined. One
battery of the outfit is expected to
arrive from Cartersville on Monday.
PROGRESSIVES IN
REPUBLICAN LIST
ANNOUNCE BOLT
NEW YORK, Oct. 18.—A joint
statement by “over one hundred rep
resentative men and women who
have usually supported the Repub
lican or Progressive tickets,” an
nouncing their intention to vote for
Cox and Roosevelt and those sena
torial candidates “who stand honest
ly and frankly for ratification of
the treaty and adherence to the
league,” was made public here to
night by Hamilton Holt, magazine
editor.
This statement set forth that “it
is now too late to talk of a new as
sociation of nations’ to be created
under Republican auspices" and re
pudiating the present Republican
leadership that “has permitted the
Republican party to become a ‘little
America’ party,” urged all Repub
licans and Progressives to “put pa
triotism above party” and add their
name sto the list of signers.
I. lst Increasing Daily
This list, according to Mr. Holt,
Is increasing daily. An analysis giv
en out with the statement said that
it included fifteen Republican of
ficers of the League to Enforce
Peace; clergymen representing all
the principal denominations; the
presidents of Oberlin, Vassar, Smith,
Bryn Mawr and Mount Holyoke col
eges; several veterans of the great
war, and nine former Republican or
Progressive party managers and of
fice holders. In the last classifica
tion were listed Charles P. Howland,
of New York; Violet M. Leroy, New
York; Theodore Marburg, Baltimore;
W. H. Nichols, Bennington, Vt.; Her
bert Parsons, New York; Elias D.
Salsbury, Indianapolis; Edwin E.
Slosson, New York; Richard Welling,
New York, and Alice White, Welles
ley, Mass.
The statement declared that the
Republican party in “Drifting toward
national isolation” had repudiated
political traditions under which the
signers had been reared —traditions
emphasizing the responsibilities of
Am erica, from Lincoln to Taf t.

word that an attempt had been made
to assassinate Rev. C. L. Ledford
while ho was in the pulpit of the
