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.

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.

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. METAL MARKET NEW YORK, Oct. 22.—Copper, nominal; electrolytic, spot and fourth quarter, 15%@ 16%e. Iron, dull and unchanged.

Liver-' pool houses have bee a good buyers, whicly wnx taken ,>y some to imply an optimistic feeling ther<» as legnrds the outcome of the strike. Local tinders si.c during tlie early session, expecting an inciense in hedge sell ing before the close, but as tbnt failed to develop, their covering helped to a further recovery.

There was afloat 100,000 bales for GNar Britain, 25,000 for the continent. I.iverpool will he closed tomorrow and the demand from there today is taken to mean that favorable developments may arise over Sunday. '’XESARD & GLUCK CCOTTON LETTER * NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 22||—Belief in the ability of the British government to settle its labor troubles and rather persistent re ports of a better demand for the lower grades were responsible for wide alvances in the cotton market today. Liverpool was much higher than due and when we opened on rumors that a strike settlement was in sight. Unfavorable weather In the central and western belts were a help to values. The market appears «<> advance more read ily thnn it declines nnd we continue to ad vise buying on recessions.

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. Woman Is Arrested Following Theft of U.S. Ordnance Platinum NEW YORK, Oct. 22.—Florence Weiler, who, according to the federal authorities, recently was indicted in Nashville, Tenn., on a charge of con-' spiracy to dispose of $19,000 worth of platinum stolen from the army’s ordnance bureau, was arrested here today by federal agents. Fire Destroys 450 Bales of Cotton At Andersonville AMERICUS, Ga., Oct. 22.—Fire at the Easterlin Brothers' warehouse &.t Andersonville, this county, early to day destroyed 450 bales of cotton.

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." YOUTH DECLARES DOCTOR PAID FOR BURNING CAR (Continued from Page 1.) 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. SATURDAY, OCTOBER 23, 1020. 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 would mark the final surrender of 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.

"I even sent word to him and asked him to explain his stand on the League of Natioils, par ticularly for the French people, who are extremely interested in th* pre sent campaign. "I recently talked to Governor Cox. I gave him the atttude of the French people as far as I knew it, and he 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 I intended to call on the Republican nominee. "I never at any time posed as e representative of the French govern ment on any International question, although I may have expressed the attitude of 4 the French people toward the League of Nations as I conceived it from the reports from my news paper and my knowledge of Frencl international ideals.” ...
