Tri-Weekly Market Reports
COTTON
NEW YORK, Sept. 7.—The cotton market
showed continued activity and excitement at
the opening today, first prices being 130
to 172 points higher in response to the fur
ther big advance in Liverpool. December
contracts sold up to 21.70, or narly 5%
»cents above the low prices touched on the
reactions just before the government report
of last week, and spring months sold well
through the 22-cent level, or up to 22.38
for May. This advance met enormous real
izing, however, and was followed by quick
reactions of 70 to 123 points, where the
market was steadied by the heavy buying
of international houses here against sales
In Liverpool because of the wider differ
ences. Private cables reported a wild mar
ket at Liverpool where the spot sales
amounted to 15.000 bales, and the spot quo
tation was 364 American points higher.
Some of the spot houses were sellers on the
advance here, bnt southwestern spot inter
ests were credited with buying.
. Fluctuations were very irregular later.
The excitement seemed to be subsiding to
some extent and trading was less active
with the price of December contracts rang
ing from about 21.30 to 21.60 around mid
day. Some southern hedge selling was re
ported, but the bulk of the pressure was at
tributed to profit-taking on speculative hold
ings. The weekly report of the weather bu
reau indicated further deterioration, but
was without any apparent effect.

NEW ORLEANS COTTON
NEW ORLEANS. Sept. 7.—An amazing
show of strength was made by cotton today
when, on the opening call and in the first
trades, all months rose 200 points, $lO a
bale, over the level of yesterday’s close,
the full limit of fluctuations allowed under
the rules of the cotton exchange. This was
the first time that any such bulge ever
occurred on the opening in the history of
contract trading.
October rose to 21.49 and .May to --.10,
new high prices for the season being made
on all months and prices being the highest
in nearly a year. About the widest advance
ever scored in the Liverpool market was re
sponsible for the bulge here, although the
gains were, essentially, a continuation of
the bull movement instituted some time ago
when the shortness of this season’s crop be
came evident.
After the call realizing by longs became
heavy and toward the end of the first hour
of business prices were 108 to 110 points
off from the highest, but still 90 to 98
points over the closing quotations of yes
terday. --
The official weekly crop reports were
eoisidered unfavorable and spot brokers
claimed that buyers were paying advances
of from 150 to 200 points. Under these fea
tures the market strengthened again and to
, ward 11 o’clock stood at gains of 141 to 161
points. , ,
After the middle of the day the market
weakened under extremely heavy realizing
of profits bv traders on the long side and
in the late trading limits had to be called
on fluctuations again, the market being
200 points down from the top and back
again at the level of yesterday’s close. Oc
tober fell off to 19.49 and May to 20.10,

Hulhurd, Warren & Co.: “We are inclined

bulges,”
Leland & Co.: “We believe wheat a buy
on recessions, ajso oats. Think earn a sale
around present levels.”
Harris, Winthrop & Co.: “We recommend
the use of downturns to buy wheat. The
market for wheat will probably continue
more or less of a trading affair temporarily.
The same appears likely in coarse grains.”

MOTHER U. S. NOTE
OMMESffIT
WASHINGTON, Sept. 7.—The
United States government has ad
dressed a new note to all allied pow
ers on the subject of mandated ter
ritories.
Official announcement that the]
note had been dispatched last week
was made today at the ‘state depart
ment.
The note was described as cover
ing in full the question of mandates,
although department officials de
clined to discuss its contents until
they had received assurances it had
reached the various governments to
which it had been sent. Replies were
expected within twenty-four hours,
the officials said, and arrangements
were being made for the publication
of the document within that time.
The communication was understood
to refer specifically to class A ’and
B mandates as administered under
the League of Nations, and to reiter
ate the position of the United States
government with regard to rights in
mandated territories.

QUIET PREVAILING
IN WES TVIRGINIA
CHARLESTON, W. Va., Sept. 7. —
Quiet prevailed along the Boone-Lo
gan county border early today. From
Mingo county, where some shooting
was reported along the Tug river
yesterday and day before, came re
ports that the situation was not re
garded as serious.
Advices from Spruce Fork ridge, in
eastern Logan county, were that
United States soldiers sent to that
district were in complete control.
Further trouble in that region, where
last week large numbers of men had
gathered on one side of the ridge
for the announced purpose of march
ing to Mingo through Logan to pro
test martial law in force there, and
deputies, state police and volun
teers on the other, to prevent the
march, was not looked for, army of
ficers said.
Brigadier General 11. H. Bandholtz,
in command of the federal forces
sent into the state, after a tour of
inspection yesterday, announced that
he was satisfied with what had been
accomplished and stated that he had
made certain recommendations to the
Washington government. What these
recommendations were he refused to
say, adding that any information
must come from the war department.
Seeing Husband Drown,
Wife Becomes Hysterical
PINE BLUFF, Ark., Sept. 7.—Mrs.
T. E. Owings is in an 'hysterical con
dition today following the witnessing
of her husband’s tragic death yes
terday afternoon near Prattsville.
Mr. Owings,, forty-five, went to
the rescue of Miss Ruth Margie Car
lisle, eighteen, when she sank into
deep water while bathing in the Sa
line river. The girl was so crazed
by fright that she fought and scratch
ed him. Both sank before reaching
shore. Mrs. Owings, who witnessed
the sight, was with difficulty pre
vented from drowning herself.
DEPREDATIONS OF RATS
CAUSE $200,000,000 LOSS
TO UNCLE SAM EACH YEAR
Damage totaling- $200,000,000 in
stored foodstuffs, grain, field crops,
and other injurable material is done,
by rate in the United States annual •
ly. Only the united efforts of every
home owner and tenant can effect
the abolition of these rodent pests.
The biological survey, United States
department o agriculture, is starting
a big campaign against rodents
throughout the eastern United States.
Much already has bene accomplished
in the matter of control in the west
ern and middle western states, where
effective co--operation was secured.
On the other hand, residents of the
eastern and southern states, as a
rule, have been exposed to wide
spread ravages and attacks from
rodents for such long periods that
they have become so accustomed to
the nuisances as to accept them as a
matter of bourse. Uncle Sam is do
ing his utmost to awaken these sec
tions to the need for eradicating
rats.
To illustrate the enormous dam
ages which rate annually accomplish
in graip and corn fields, the experi
ence of the state penitentiary farm,
covering 2,500 acres, at Baton Rouge,
La., is of interest. Last year a 200-
acre field of corn was planted on
this farm. The rats worked their
way through the field, stealing all
the seed before the kernels could
germinate. The field was planted a
second time, and again the rats over
ran the prospective cornfield, leav
ing in their wake paths of destruc
tion. Undeterred, the farm manager
planted the field to corn a third

AND PIG ASSAULT MULE
THA T KILLED CA T FRIEND
NEW YORK.—There was gloom
recently among the happy survivors
of the “happy family” which dwells
in Thomas H. Banks’s back yard at
23 West 133 d street. Minnie, the
sleek and intelligent cat, which was
accustomed to entertain Nancy
Hanks, the four-legged rooster; But
terneggs, the patriarchal goat;
Snootsy, »the trained pig, and the
other members of the family with
vocal selections, had met a tragic
death earlier in the day.
Even humans in the neighborhood
liked Minnie, and used to send over
their mouse traps to Mr. Banks
whenever they captured particularly
plump and appetizing mice. Early
in the afternoon one of these lunches
had been sent in for Minnie, and Mr.
Banks took the rooster and the
trained pig and and Bill Sykes, the
bulldog, who was Minnie’s particu
lar chum, out into the street to see
her catch the mouse.
Butternesggs and the monkey were
left in the yard to cheer up the gold
fish, who were clamoring and weep
ing in their pond because they could
not go to the street. The mouse
was liberated and Minnie darted aft
er it—just a gray streak of cat.
So impetus was Minnie’s attack
that she failed to observe a peddler’s
wagon coming down the street, and
to the anguish dnd indignation of
Nancy Hanks, Snootsy, Bill Sykes
and some two-score admiring humans
who had come uninvited to the feast,
a wheel passed squarely over Min
nie’s skull.
It was the last of Mninie and as
they rushed upon the unfortunate
peddler. Nancy Hanks sprang upon
the horse’s back and lacerated the
animal with his spurs. Bill Sykes
