I.—The cotton market opened at an advance of 37 to 57 point* in response to unexpectedly firm cables and unfavorable weather in the south. Liver pool and Wall street brokers were good buy ers, and the firmer showing of Liven-00l evidently increased a disposition to coven short contracts in advance of the hohuay tomorrow. Tbe New Orleans market was closed in observance of All Saints day, but New Orleans was a seller here, while there was also scattered selling for southern account. These offerings caused some irreg ularity after the call, but they were readily absorbed, with December contracts selling up ' to 21.50 c and January to 20.95 c during the early trading, or about 58 to 67 points net higher on the more active positions. *. The forenoon advance extended to 21.75 c for December and 21 19c for January, with active months generally showing net ad vances of SO to 90 points. There was a little scattered southern selling, but very little pressure from that source, while Liv erpool and Wall stseet were good buyers on the advance. The demand tapered off dur ing the middle of the day, however, and trading was very quiet during the early afternoon, with prices showing reactions ot 20 or 25 points from tbe best. Liverpool trade advices attributed the advance there to small hedge selling and scattered buying on prospects for a renewal of trade with Russia. Trading was very quiet during the middle of the afternoon and no fresh feature de veloped with Deceineber ruling around 21.47 and January 21.00, or about 54 to 72 points net higher.

Cuban Sugar Loan Is Estimated at About $50,000,000 WASHINGTON, Oct. 30.—Details of the prospective Cuban loan to be used for financing this year’s sugar crop will be arranged In New York early next week by representatives of the Cuban legation and American banks. Instead of the $75,000,000 or SIOO/000,000 which J. P. Morgan & CO-, the National City bank, the Chase Securities corporation and their as sociates have offered to secure, it was estimated Saturday that the amount necessary would probably not exceed $50,000,000. Under the provisions of the -Platt amendment the consummation of the transaction requires thd approval of the department, but it is un derstood the extension of approval in this case is little more than a for mality and will be granted upon re quest. However, the question has not yet been submited to the depart ment. Wheat and Flour Imports From Canada Break Previous Records WASHINGTON, N»v. I.—lmporta tions of wheat and wheat flour from Canada during the first fifteen days of October were grea/ter than during any similar period during the past seven years, the federal trade com mission announced today as the first result in its investigation of wheat markets and prices undertaken at thp order of President Wilson. The president's order to investi gate wheat followed protests from Governor Allen, of Kansa thkt specu lators were articically depressing wheat prices. Farmers declared there is a world shortage of wheat. Imports during the first fifteen rtavs of October from Canada were: Wheat 4,953,683 bushels, flour 65.- 946 barrels. It was pointed out here that im portations from Canada would tend to drive wheat prices in this coun try downward. Weekly Review of Dry Goods Market NEW YORK, Oct. 30.—Very light sales at the lowest prices still char acterize the cotton goods markets. Wide sheetings offered for delivery in November, December and January by the largest producer were taken up to the extent of two-thlrds of the offerings while bleached have sold in a moderate way. Per cales have not moved to any extent owing to the reluctance of the larger producers to name new prices while the demand for spring goods remain ed dormant. Yarns have declined tb lower levels, and many sheetings are now quoted at ' the lowest prices touched this year. Fine combed yarn goods continued to weaken in price, the demand being negligible. Jobbers have been conducting forced sales at low prices to meet the readjust-: ment of prices in primary channels. The mills are giving notice daily of a purpose to curtail production this week, some oi the large south ern plants having decided to go on ha)f time or to stop for an indefinite period, beginning Saturday. , New England mills in some cen ters aYe operating at half capacity or less. ’ In the effort to make the very low prices current for cloths, some mills have reduced wages from 10 to 25 per cent. In New England the wage question wil come up for discussion by unions and manufac turers next, month and union leaders are already giving notice that they will resist any reductions. The cur rent wage agreement period expires on December 6. Knitting mills are generally reported as running to about half capacity. The hope is expressed in the trade that some re vival will be-noticed soon after elec tion day. , '■ „„ Prices follow: Print cloths, 28- inch, 64x60’s 8 cents; 64x60’8, 7 3-4 cents; 38 1-2-inch, 64x60's, 10 1-2 cents; brown sheetings, southern standards, 17 cents; denims, 32 1-2, nominal for 2:2o’s; tickings, 40 cents, nominal; staple ginghams, 20 cents; prints, 23 cents: nominal; dress ginghams, 25 and 27 1-2 cents.

ACRES OF COTTON TO BE LOST FOR LACK OF PICKING MEMPHIS, Tenn., Oct. 30. —Thou- sands of acres of cotton in the tri states (Tennessee, Arkansas apd Mississippi) may never be picked this fall, according to cotton men hers. Numerous reports were re ceived today from farmers who claim they are unable to pfiy the price asked by pickers and may be forced to abandon their crop. “Farmers are reporting that they are unable to get cotton pickers ex cept at excessive wages,” R. C. Wells, manager of the Memphis employment bureau, said. “It will cost the farm er more than half of what he gets to cover planting, picking and gin ning, not considering his own time and general farm expenses.” Like reports were received today by a number of merchants and busi ness men from planters and tenants. “With cotton at 45 cents a pound, the farmer could afford to pay $2 a 100 pounds for having his cotton picked, but now he would be in debt when his crop was sold,” Mfells said. It is estimated by local*planters that 5,000. cotton pickers .could be used in the tri-states and Alabama now to harvest the croiX The supply of farm labor is reported very low.

The ’bus which was carrying sixteen passengers, was squarely struck and completely wrecked, being carried about ten feet in front of the locomotive.

Simmons, im perial wizard of the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan. 1 In connection with the official de cree Colonel Simmons,’ in a separate statement, calls the attention of the kl'ansmen to the fact that in some quarters [the guilt for posting no tices on 6otton gins and, in some in stances, threatening owners who do not close them, is being laid on the Ku Klux Klan because the men who commit these acts wear masks or robes somewhat resembling tjie of ficial regalia of the klan. In this regard he says: “For two reasons it is especially important that members of the Ku Klux Klan do all in their power to assist officers of the law to suppress the operations of these 'night riders.’ In the first place, they are guilty of criminal violence of law and if al lowed to continue there is no fimit to the extent which this power of in timidation under cover of darkness may be used. The Knights of the Ku KltiX Klan are, sworn to uphold the law under any and all circum stances and it is especially neces sary at this critical time that every law-abiding citizen discharge this duty without fear or favor. “In the second place; the opera tions of these ‘night riders’ are bringing odium upon the Ku Klux Klan because in some instances their criminal conduct is being laid at the door of members of this organiza tion. There is, of course, no excuse for this outrageous slander other than the fact that these ’night riders clothe themselves in garments some what resembling the official regalia of the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan, the exclusive right to the use of which has been legally bestowed upon this organization. "However, since these gin posters and gin burners are being confused' in the minds of some persons with members of this organization it be hooves every member to be particu larly vigilant in exposing them to the proper authorities and thus assist Watch, Chain and Two Rings Genuine American Watch,guaraniced by 8 maker, and all tln« 8 8j jewelry givenlorsetl -8 i'lg only 40 packets ’ 2 Carden Seeds it roc iVV* a each Many otherpre- a miiuns Writetoday •• '‘X-. | -<y The Wilson Seed Co.

One of them has been cap tured. According ot Tom Turner, recap tured, the plot to escape was en gineered by Tom Horne, charged with assault with Intent Vo murder, and Danjel Davis, charged with as sault with intent to rape. One or both of them filed out a key to fit the individual cell doors. Horne, who was a trusty, released Daniels from his cage during the day and Daniels concealed himself by *mb ing on top of his cage. He vnen turned out his fellow-prisoners about 2 o’clock this morning. They made their escape frAm the jail by break -ing a small padlock oh the door lead ing to the coal bin and crawling out of the coal chute. So quietly was the escape effected that Sheriff E. P. Dorminey had no inkling of it until he went into the cell corridor at breakfast time. in the suppression of their activities, so that respectable,/law-abiding cit-, izens may conduct their own affairs as they see fit, without let or hin drance, and go about their Business with the knowledge that their lives and properties awe secure.” Greatest BargainYouEver Saw H* OtMirant»»a omm * C.041.55.W Guaranteed not to be rebuilt.
