Tri-Weekly Market Reports
COTTON
NEW YORK, Oct. 22.—The feature in the
cotton market this morning was the strong
showing of Liverpool and private cables
reporting increased optimism over pros
pects of a settlement of the strike and
more active spot demand. As officially re
ported the Liverpool spot sales amount
ing to 8,000 bales were the largest for
several weeks and the market here opened
strong at an advanc of 45 to 92 points,
with December contracts selling up to 1».‘61
and January to 19.50. There was a good
deal of realizing by recent buyers and con
siderable southern selling which caused re
actions of several points right after the
call, but the late cables showed consider
able strength in the English market and
there was active buying here by brokers with
Liveerpool connections.
The advance extended to 10.85 for De
cember and 19.75 for January, or about 90
ts 95 points net higher during the middle
of the morning. After the close of Liver
pool, however, trading became less active
and there were reactions of 20 or 25 points
from the best under realizing or scattered
selling by traders who were doubtful of
an immediate adjustment of the rßitish
trade labor troubles. There may also liave
been some selling on the small sales of
print cloths reported in the Fail River
market for the wek, or in anticipation of
renewed hedging. The south was credited
with selling considerable cotton here early,
but offerings from that source were not much
in evidence during the middle of the day.
The comparatively moderate midday reac
tions were followed by renewed firmness.
The heavy Liverpool buying during the fore
noon had evidently reduced the supply of
contracts and the eprly afternoon market
rallied on its trade 'buying. Prices made
new high ground for the day with December
selling at 20.00, and January at 19.85. or
100 to 105 points above last night’s closing
quotations.

• NEW ORLEANS COTTON
NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 22.—Persistent re
ports that the coa Istrike in England was
about to be settled, coupled with too much
rain in the central and western divisions
of the belt, put the price of cotton up
about $5 a bale in the first hour of trading
today. Heavy buying for long account swept
the market bare of offerings and put De
cember to 19.32 and May to 18.95. At these
levels the trading months were 96 to 105
points over the closing quotations of yes
terday.
Moderate recessions followed the first up
ward movement but toward noon the tone
became firm on reports of a better demand
for spots with rumors tiiat mills were
important buyers of the low grades at points
in the central belt. There were also re
ports that big people were trying to buy
spots in the western belt and were finding
little cotton for sale. The active months
were sent to gains of 195 to 118 points with
December trading up to 19.48.
The market firmed up rapidly in the late
trading on rumors from England that the
railway men had decided to postpone their
participation in the coal strike. December
advanced to 19.64 and the list toward the
close showed gains of 127 to 135 points.

GRAIN MARKET OPINIONS
Bartlett, Frazier & Co.: Buying power is
restricted and sentiment generally bearish.
Clement, Curtis: The bearish sentiment
is growing despite the low prices and the
new crop will soon be in movement and add
another weight to the market.
Harris, Winthrop & Co.: We continue .o
look for lower prices.
Thomson & McKinnon grain letter
Chicago, Oet. 22.—Wheat: Increased offer
ings from the. southwest together with em
bargoes against two ports, were offset by a
considerable improvement in foreign de
mand. Total export sales last night and
this morning are estimated at 2,000,090
wheat and two cargoes of flour. Chicago
being the principal hedging market, it fol
lows that the buying by exporters against
sales abroad appears in this market as
well as the hedging sales against purchases
from the interior. Total stocks of wheat
here are only 659,000 bushels, therefore,
under the size of the demand against ex
port sales, the market is particularly sen
sitive. Th; momentum gainad today may
be sufficient to advance prices still fur
ther, but it is a question as to whether
the foreign demand will follow the ad
vance.
Corn: Some of the strength has been
gained from action of wheat, but it is no
ticeable that there is an increase in the
number of thus who believe that prices
are low enough for the tLi>e baing. I: is
fair to assume that this feeling may spread
to the distributing trade ir the east.
Oats: There is no evidence of any for
eign demand for oats. At the same’ time
the exportable surplus of Argentine is es
timated at 28,000,000 as against 30,000.000
last year and 48,000.000 year before. There
is, therefore, some chance mor eor less re
mote, of a foreign demand in the future.
Provisions: Weakness in hogs was tlie
reason for considerable liquidation in prod
ucts. Strength in grains induced short
covering.

recovery. Exports were large, amounting to

Sinn Ferners Punish
Captives in Odd Ways
BELFAST.—The Sinn Fein police
resort of old or unusual methods of
punishing minor offenders. They
marched a prisoner to a telephone
pole at the national bank recently
and fastened him to the pole with
A rope. A board affixed to his
breast bore the inscription: "I am
a thief. I stole eggs, and this is
my just punishment.”
Crowds gathered around and in
spected the prisoner, who vainly? tried
to effect his release. Ultimately his
sister, hearing of her brother’s plight,
came on the scene and liberated him.
It is reported that she has also been
placed under arrest.
An engine driver of a munition
train was similarly served in Dublin.
He was tied to a lamppost opposite
the railway station in Amiens street
with the word “scab” on a card sus
pended around his neck. A large
crowd gazed on him for half an hour,
when the police released him after
filing through a padlock and hand
cuffs.
ALL NOMINEES
OF DEMOCRATS
ON G.O.P. BALLOT
That the Republican state central
committee of Georgia has placed on
the official Republican ballot for the
forthcoming general election the
name of every Democratic nominee
for a state office, was the surprising
fact called «to the attention of vari
ous of these nominees on Thursday.
The only difference between the
Republican ballot and the Demo
cratic ballot will be in the list of
presidential electors. It will there
fore be comparatively easy for a
Democrat to vote a Republican ballot
by mistake. If he examines only the
list of nominees for state house of
flees, he will find them to be Demo
cratic throughout the Republican bal
lot But if he examines the list of
I presidential electors he will find them
to be Republican.
The list of presidential electors is
printed at the top of each ballot.
The headline, or caption, at the top
of the Republican ballot will be:
"Official Republican Ballot." The
headline, or caption, at the top of the
Democratic ballot will be: ‘‘Official
Democratic Ballot.” Immediately un
der this caption is the list of presi
dential electors, and below that the
list of nominees for state offices. Be
ginning with these nominees, the two
ballots are practically the same.
Thomas E. Watson’s name heads
the list of Democratic nominees, and
with it is the name of Harry Still
well Edwards. Just why the Repub
lican state central committee should
put the names of two nominees on
their ticket is not clear. Mr. Watson
has announced in his paper that he
did not authorize the printing of his
name on the ballots, but on the con
trary requested C. P. Goree, Atlanta
lawyer and Republican leader, to
leave it off. Mr. Edwards has recent
ly announced that he is not running
as a Republican candidate, but as
an independent candidate favoring
the League of Nations. G. H. wil
liams, the regular Republican nomi
nee for the senate, recently withdrew
from the race on the ground that Mr.
Watson's opposition to the league in
any form coincided with his po&ition,
and it was therefore unnecessary for
him to run.
Then comes the list of nominees
for state offices, and the Republicans
have taken the Democratic list and
bodily printed it on their ballot, be
ginning with Thomas W. Hardwick
for governor, running through the
various state house officers, and fin
ishing with the Democratic nominees
for superior court judges and solici
tors general
Colonel William A. Wright, Demo
cratic nominee for comptroller gen
eral, said the use of his name was
without his knowledge, consent or ap
proval. S. G. McLendon, nominee
for secretary of state, said the same.
So did W. A. Speer, nomined for state
treasurer, and others.
Mr. Hardwick said the Republicans
had not asked his permission to put
his name on their ticket, and he
would have delcined If they had. He
said he did not object to any individ
ual voting for him in the general
election, but he was not accepting
any support from/the Republican
party as a party.
$150,000 in Rain
Insurance Taken Out
By Southeastern Fair
Rain insurance is something new
in this section, but the Southeastern
Fair association/has taken this meth
od of protecting Itself against finan
cial loss because of inclement weath
er conditions. The fair is insured
against rain by a policy which cost
$6,000 and which will give the asso
ciation minimum receipts of $150,000
fcr the ten-day exposition.
For the last tv) years the fair re
ceipts have been more or less cut
down by rainy weather and this year
the management dacided to prevent
any such occurrence. So a policy
was taken out afj’ust rain. It pro
vides that if there ;s two-fifths of
an inch of precipitation during the
fair and if the minimum receipts
from all sources fah below $150,000
the insurance company will make
good the difference. If the receipts
go over $150,000 the fair gets noth
ing from the insurance company,
which is better off by $6,000, the cost
of the policy.
It is estimated that it will cost
$150,000 to stage the fair for the full
ten days, including the premium
awards and racing purses, not to
mention the innumerable minor ex
penses connected with the exposition.
Thus far the weather has been as
fine as could be desired, but sudden
changes may occur any day and for
tliis reason the insurance policy was
taken out.

FRANK F. ROBERTS, pro
prietor of an Atlanta fish mar
ket, who disappeared Monday
after leaving his market to go
to a bank, where he was to de ;
posit a large sum of money. No
trace of him has been found by
his family or the police, who
are conducting a search for
him.
OM|
! ! ' S :
Atlanta Merchant Has .
Been Missing for
Four Days; No Clues
The police Thursday were conduct
ing a search for Frank F. Roberts,
thirty-seven years old, of 358 East
Georgia avenue, and the proprietor
of the Deep Sea Fish Market, 23
West Alabama street. Mr. Roberts
is said to have disappeared Monday
morning after leaving his place of
business co go to a bank for the pur
pose of depositing the receipts of the
previous Saturday’s business.
When seen at her home Thursday
moaning Mrs. Roberts declared that
she was unable to advance any rea
son for the disappearance of her hus
band. "He was a model man, never
stayed out late at nights, apd never
did leave the city without saying
where he was going,” said Mrs. Rob
erts.
“I fear that he has met with foul
play or that he has become tempor
ary unbalanced. He has been sick,
and with the hard 1 work occasioned
by his business, it is possible that
he has suffered a nervous breakdown
which has affected his mind.
“He left home last Monday ap
parently in the best of spirits, and
after kissing the children goodbye,
stated he would try to return hom*
early Monday night. When he failed
to return, I began an investigation,
and found that he had not been at
his store since about 9 o’clock Mon
day morning.
“Every night now, our two chil
dren, Frank, Jr., and Helen cry for
their ‘daddy’ and want to know where
he Is.”
At Mr. Roberts’ store it was stat
ed that no reason could be given
for his disappearance. None of the
clerks were able to state exactly how
much money Mr. Roberts had at the
time he left the store, but they de
clare that it was a large sum.
“He left here to go to the bank,
and said he would return soon," one
of the clerks stated. “When he fail
ed to return Tuesday, we went to
the bank, and found out that he had
not been there and had made no de
posit Monday."

other boy to destroy the car: and it
seems Cribbs is ‘passing the buck’
to me in this miserable fashion, to
protect himself.
‘‘jy ith regard to that $25 check
Cribbs mentioned in his effort to
show that I had paid somebody some
thing to do something, it was given
him by me after considerable and
unreasonable insistence on tils part
that I Pay him SBS the full amount
of his bill for repair work on the
car. He kept coming to me to col
lect this bill after the car had been
destroyed while ’he had charge of it.
I told him I didn’t feel I ought to
pay the bill certainly not all of It.
and .finally on his plea that he need
ed money badly I gave him a check
tor $25 on the account.
Cribbs’ Statement D*nied
„ ‘.‘Thursday at police headquarters
Cribbs made the statement that an
other man. Smith, had heard us
make the conspiracy to destroy the
car. He said we made it in my of
fice and that Smith was there. Smith
was sent for an .promptly stated that
he was in my office—in fact, he
brought Cribbs to see me about re
pairing my car—and that he heard
our conversation and that there was
not a word in it about destroying the
car or any of this ridiculous ‘con
spiracy.’ ”
. Dr. Hawkins said the car had been
insured for $4200 against fire and
theft and that the Southern Adjust
ment Bureau ,to whom he had ap
plied for a settlement of the loss,
had started the investigation.
"The car had depreciated in price
I bought it,” he said, "and was
worth about $4,500 at that time. I
owed only SSOO on it when its was
destroyed.”
Dr. Hawkins added that there
might be another explanation of
what he termed Cribbs' “rambling
and contradictory statements.”
_Dr. Hawkins’ bond was fixed at
SSOO and that of Cribbs and Neal at
$250 each. The detectives intimated
Friday that the young man who actu
ally destroyed the car, according to
Neal, is not the only one they are
looking for, and that another man in
Atlanta also is suspected of being
involved.

SITUATION IN
WISCONSIN IS
BADLY MIXED
BY DAVID LAWKENCB
(Leased Wire Service in The Journal.)
(Copyright, 1920.)
MILWAUKEE, Wis., Oct., 21.—1 f
ever there was a mixed-up, topsy
turvey, political situation, the state
of Wisconsin this year presents such
a paradox. Consider these facts:
John J Blaine, regular Republican
lominee for governor, has the sup
port of LaFollette and the non-par
tisan league and German elements.
Robert Bruce McCoy, Democratic
mminee for governor, has the open
support of Republicans and Demo
crats who are opposed to La Follette
ind the non-partisan league.
W. J. Morgan, who is running for
attorney general on the same Re
publican ticket with Blaine, fought
the latter in the primaries and since
ias announced that he will tight him
at the polls by voting for the Demo
crat, Mr. McCoy.
The non-partisan league and La
Follette Republicans decided after
this announcement not to support Mr.
Morgan for attorney general, but to
throw their support to A. C. Larson,
Democratic nominee for the same of
fice, whereupon the Milwaukee Jour
nal, influential newspaper through
out the state, which has been sup
porting the entire Democratic ticket,
promptly withdrew from support of
Larson and decided to support Mor
gan, Republican. Many independent
voters are doing the same thing.
Supporter of Deague
, Irvine Lenroot, candidate In the
egular Republican ticket for re-elec
lon to tlie United States senate, is
ieing fought by James Thompson,
ndependent Republican candidate,
/ho was unsuccessful in the primary
ace for this office, and by Dr. Paul
Reinsch. Democrat, formerly minis
ter to China.
Mr. Thompson has the support of
the La Follette and non-partisan fac
tions and is denouncing Lenroot for
having voted for the League of Na
tions even with reservations.
T Dr is supporting the
League of Nations and says his only
regret is that article ten isn’t stron-
V e, ‘ of Herman extraction but
is credited with havirfg induced China
to enter the war against Germany.
? a d, stinguished scholar and
nffeniHufe as < lead °, f the de l’ a rtment
ltlcal .science in the University
of Wisconsin. He will get a fairly
good slice of the German vote pure
ly through German pride of race.
There are about 1,000,000 German*
in Wisconsin out of a total popula
tion of less than 3,000,000.
Mr. Thompson is a conspicuous
leader of the Norwegians of this
state, while Mr. Lenroot is of Swed
ish extraction. Now, the Swedes and
the Norwegians have not much more
affection for each other on this side
of the Atlantic than they have on
the other side.
Denroot Faces Defeat
Senator Harding is sure to carry
the state by at least 100,000 over Cox,
but it is doubtful whether in a three
cornered fight Lenroot will pull
through. Indeed, Senator Harding
has issued an appeal urging the elec
tion of Lenroot, something that will
cost Harding votes with the La Fol
lette Republicans, who are support
ing Thompson for the senate. But
Harding can afford to lose some
votes and still carry Wisconsin by a
comfortable majority.
Mr. Thompson, however, will divide
the Republican vote with Lenroot
and thus give Dr. Reinsch a chance
to squeeze in just as President Wil
son did in 1912, when Taft and Roose
velt split the Republican strength in
the state.
Another thing, Lenroot is a dry in
a state which contains 1,000,000 Ger
mans, who still like that certain
something which made Milwaukee fa
mous.
So, summarizing the mix-up, any
one who can figure out the result Is
entitled to considerable distinction
for the leaders frankly confess they
are puzzled. The best judgment one
gets here is that Harding will take
the electoral vote easily, that
Reinsch, Democrat, has an even
chance to defeat Lenroot, and that
Robert Burns McCoy, Democrat, has
a better than even chance to be
e 1 ected governor.
Harding Says He .
Would Not Submit
Treaty With Article X
CONVENTION HALL, Rochester,
N. Y., Oct. 21.—Acceptance of Article
X of the League of Nations covenant

America’s constitutional integrity,
Senator Harding declared here today,
A message handed Mr. Harding as
he stepped to the platform asked him
to tell where he stands on the league
and quit pussyfooting.
“I don’t think that my friend will
accuse me of pussyfooting if he will
listen to this.” Mr. Harding replied.

stimulating odor, that it is

Kobra said. "I even sent word to

"I recently talked to Governor Cox.
I gave him the atttude of the French

explained his stand. I suppose that
is what gave him the impression that
I had also seen Senator Harding, at
I believe I told him at the time that
