Tri-Weekly Market Reports
| COTTON
NEW YORK, Oct. 10.—The cot
ton* market opened steady today at .
\n advance of 12 points to a decline ,
of 2 points, most of the active •
months being a few points higher ;
on the relatively firmer cables. The ;
weather. nttqj made a favorable !
showing, however, with nothing to
indicate that the gulf storm situa
tion reported yesterday had devel
oped any more threateningly over
night and the weekly report of the
weather bureau also made a favor
able showing. These features led
to some scattered southern and local
selling which sent prices off a few
points after the call and reactions
were reported in Liverpool. Offer
ings were absorbed by buying which
again seemed to come partly from
the trade and after selling off tc.
27.46, December rallied to 27.60 on
covering and reports that the spot
basis was firmer in the southwest
late yesterday.
Fluctuations were more or less ir
regular during the middle of the
morning with advances meeting in
creased selling on the generally fa
vorable character of the weather
news. Trade interests continued
buying, however, and the demand of
that sort became more active when
there were reports of a further ad
vance in the southwestern basis. As
a result December contracts sold up
to 27.75 and January to 27.17 with
the general market showing net ad
vances of some 20 to 30 points dur
ing the noon hour.
Reports that one or two of the Ala
bama mills would curtail because of
poor fade were a factor in early aft
ernoon reactions of 15 or 20 points,
but trading was quiet and prices at
2 o’clock held fairly steady around
27.60 for December or 10 points net
higher.

NEW ORLEANS COTTON
NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 10.—Better •
weather over the belt than had been
expected caused declines of six to .
nine points in the price of cotton soon
after the opening today, but after i
December traded at 26.88 cents a
pound the demand strengthened, ap
parently on the view that while the
weekly crop reports from the gov
ernment were favorable in relation ,
to mention of the progress of pick
ing and ginning they were not' en
couraging as an indication of the
ultimate outturn of the crop. At the
ifhd of the first half hour of business
prices were 7 to 15 points over yes
e; day’s close, with December up to
17J2.
Toward noon December was up to
27.27 with the list at net gains of
70 to 39 points.
Rain reports from Texas carried
the market to its highest levels at
1:30 o’clock.

THE ATLANTA THi-WEKKI-Y
GRAIN
BY GEORGE C. SCHNACKEL
( (Leased Wire Service to The Journal.)
| (Copyright, 1923.)
! CHICAGO, Oct. 10. —Wheat came back
; today. The start was rather inauspicious
l with a slight advance but an immediate
; reaction as the result of short selling by
• locals. Commission house absorbed the sur-
1 plus offerings ou the dip and forced lo
! cals to cover. Another period of dullness
followed but after the first half of the
session was over trade broadened and
there was a decided rise in values. Com
mission house buying was increased by a
report that some country, name not given,
had extended a considerable gold credit
to Germany. This, in conjunction with a
report that government officials had ex
pressed the opinion that wheat would seh
at $1.25 caused locals to take the buying
side. Seaboard reported cancellations of
1 (*1,(100 bushels by foreigners and very lit
tle new demand. Mills took a little more
wheat, one local shipper reporting sales of
40.000 bushels hard and 20,000 bushels oft
red winter wheat io mills. Receipts con
tinue slightly in excess as last week at
primary markets.
The bearish government crop report had
a temporarily depressing effect ou corn
but most of the trade bad anticipated
the report and when they took profits
there was a tightening up on offerings.
Later the cash market soared $1.09% be
ing paid for No. 2 yellow or equal to De
cember wheat and three cents better than
October wheat. Industries bid up th*
price. New No. 4 yellow corn sold to ar
rive this month at 86 cents. Weather is
ideal for curing the crop.
Oats followed other markets. There was
buying of December by the southwest while
May was under pressure from the north
west.
Provisions were irregular. Cash interests
bought lard and bid up prices. October
ribs were lower under outside realizing
sales.

dle system, then superintendent of
the Little Miami division, and occu
pied a number of important offices

this period he was instrumental in
building up "ie system which has
become one of the greatest interur

Officials of the Long Island rail

two days before his seventieth birth
day. Railroad veterans and execu

Appeals From South
Are Thrown Out by
U. S. Supreme Court
WASHINGTON, Oct. 9.—The su
preme court Monday dismissed for
want of jurisdiction upon authori
ties cited cases involving the fol
lowing questions:
Whether the administrator of
Thelma Sandel could bring a dam
age suit arising out of her death
against the state of South Carolina,
following her innoculation with anti
typhoid vaccine made by the state
of South Carolina.
Whether the American Railway
Express company was liable for
judgments rendered against the
Adams Express company in favor of
the state of Kentucky which
brought 57 actions against the lat
ter for its alleged violation of a
state statute requiring express com
panies to keep a record of liquor
shipments received. The Kentucky
court rendered a decision against
the American Railway Express com
pany in favor of the state for $4,100,
covering the penalties and costs im
posed upon the Adams Express com
pany.
Whether fire insurance companies
which subscribe for or purchase the
rates of the Mississippi inspection
and advisory rating bureau violated
the Mississippi anti-trust laws, in a
case brought by the Aetna and 61
other insurance companies against
Mississippi.

CURRY IS MOVED ’
FDD SAFEKEEPING
PENDING APPEAL
i
AUGUSTA, Ga., Oct. 9.—Lee
Curry, youthful slayer,' who was
sentenced last Thursday to be
hanged on November 16 for the
murder of Burwell Phillips, near
Lyons, Ga., three years ago, has
been brought froip Lyons to Au
gusta by Sheriff Culpepper and
placed in the Richmond county jail
for safe keeping. Curry’s lawyers
have appealed for a new trial and
this motion will be heard November
10 before Judge Hardeman.
Curry has been tried five times
for Phillips’ death. Four juries have
found him guilty of murder without
recommendation to mercy and he
has been sentenced four times to be
hanged. Once there has been a mis
tria’ The supreme court has granted
him new trials after each of his con
victions, the last one being granted
because there was a distant relative
of Burleigh Phillips on the jury. It
is understood a new trial will be
asked for this time somewhat on
the same grounds.
Queried at the local jail by a re
porter, Curry said he docs not ex
pect to hang-.
"I never expect to hang, but to
go free,” he said. "I have had four
new trials after being convicted, and
if they cannot determine that I
should have five trials I know I will
go free. But I never expect to go
free if the case is continued to be
tried in Lyons. If I was carried
away from there, no jury in the
country would convict me.”
When asked why he slew
Phillips, he replied:
“I have never made a statement
before any jury as to how the crime
was committed and the reason for
committing it, and I am doing this
for the sake of the reputation of
my family. I doubt if I would have
committed the crime if I had not
been a dope fiend. I have been a
user ’of the drug for seven years
and I advise any young man to leave
the ‘snow’ alone.”

RISING RIVER FORCES
MANY FROM HOMES
IN OKLAHOMA CITY
OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla., Oct. 9.
Oklahoma City’s hazard hourly in
creased early today as another rise
reported several miles above her in
the north Canadian river, swept
down to augment the swollen stream
which for three days has ■wreaked
havoc in the lowlands.
The peak of the high water is be
lieved to have been reached here
shortly after midnight, but a
three-foot rise surging southeastward
from Canton, in Blaine county, it is
problematical whether the waters
here can recede in sufficient volume
to absorb the new rise.
Scores of families have been driven
from their homes by the water,
which stands 10 to 15 feet deep in
some places; railroad service south
ward from Oklahoma City has been
seriously hampered; street car tracks
and paving have been swept away
and the most direct artery of com
munication with Packington, the
packing center in the southern sec
tion of the city, has been severed.
Inhabitants of the lowland on the
south side began abandoning their
homes Saturday when the river, nor
mally only 20 feet wide, overflowed
its banks and crept over an area
fully a half mile in width. Now that
