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 YORK COTTON The following were the ruling prices in the exchange today: Tone, easy; middling, 20.50 c, quiet.

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.

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. 50,000 MEMBERS IS GOAL SET BY ALA.

U - S ?. x Of z= tlle lax3k of funds with which to fight the spread of the pest wni be es - 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.
