RISK LIVES ON BELTING
FOR PLUNDER WORTH sl7
PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 4. —Risking
thei. lives for the sake of plunder worth
only sl7, thieves yesterday slid from
the fourth floor of the building at 10
North Ninth street by means of a 50-
foot length of sewing machine belting.
The belting was composed of two
thicknesses of leather, the pieces be-
stitched together only with thread.
I’wo safes had been tobbed by the
thieves. One was on the second floor
of the building, in the establishment of
H. Cohen & Co., from which sls was
obtained. On the fourth floor the safe
of the Levi & Koplin Co. yielded them
$2.
DOES NOT TRUST POLICE
TO RUN DOWN BLACK HAND
NEW YORK. Sept. 4.—Regretting
that he had notified the police and de
termined to take the case from their
hands and attend to tunning down the
men who have threatened him, William
Rutherford Mead, a wealthy architect
and member of the firm of McKim,
Mead & White, is now at work trying
to learn the identity of the writers of
a Black Hand lette- which he has re
ceived. Mr. Mead was a partner of
Stanford White, who was killed by
Harry K. Thaw.
The message sent to Mr. Mead, both
in its terms and appearance, was a
typical Black Hand epistle. The re
cipient was instructed to pay a cer
tain sum of money on a certain date
at a specified place, under penalty cf
being blown up.

COTTON GOES OP
IS SHOOTS COM
Market Under Buying Pressure
on Unfavorable Weather in
Eastern Belt.
NEW YORK. Sept. 4 A resonant of
yesterday s advance prevailed upon the
cotton market today with prices a net
gain of 9 to 29 points from last night s
close. The demand was persistent and
the tone was strong. The predominant
factors were firm cables and unfavorable
weather in the eastern belt. The begin
ning of the bull movement in Liverpool
came just about the time of the New York
openings, which added to its effect
•venesß. Some short covering pre
vailed at the outset and October rallied
from 10.20 to 10.30, while December rose
» points over the first figures. After the
cal! heavy’ realizing set in and prices re
ceded in most active months 6 to 15 points
•rein the early range, with the exception
0 December, which sagged about the
opening.
As a result of the upward movement
which wa« thus inaugurated here prices
soon aggregated 55 points above the re
cent low level. Later, however, the mar
ket became unsettled and prices devel
oped Irregularity.
Some large spot interests began to bid
the market up during the afternoon ses
sion. combined with some short covering
by the ring crowd, prices showing a ten
r nc £ to re & a * n Ihe early decline, with
October displaying the phenomenal
strength of the list. This option stood 15
points above the opening, or 24 points
°yer the previous close. December at
10.51 being 29 points better tlairi the pre
vious figures, while the remaining Ust
sagged around the early range.
At the close of today’s session the mar
ket was steady with prices showing a net
gain of 20 to 27 points above the final
quotations of Tuesday.

HAYWARD * CLARK'S
DAILY COTTON LETTER
NEW ORLEANS. Sept. 4. -Augusta.
Ga.. reduces spot prices from It! 1 ; to H
cents yesterday. Although Liverpool
should improve most, owing to the dock
strike at Galveston, it was rather poor
with futures about 3 points lower than
due. but advanced in the last half hour
before the opening of our market, prob
ably on support from New York. Uur
market followed with 10 to 1.5 points ad
vance. The technical situation in futures
and spots is not as strong at present as
it was last year at this time. Traders
have been more cautious on short side in
futures and much less Las been sold-short
ahead by spot people.
The following from San Antonio today:
"Weather fine for gathering crop and
every lock will be saved. Yield In most
places Is in excess of last year, although
some localities report it short, while others
report it considerably better than last
year. Not a bale is being held."
As to the northern half of Texas, all
information continues in favor of a much
larger yield than last year. -New York
wired that shorts were covering and op
erators taking the long side, expecting
the August deterioration to occur in Sep
tember. This shows that early ideas of
crop ruin still linger. Meanwhile the
crop has steadily progressed and over
come much of its early lateness and there
is nothing in the weather now to cause
any concern.
Market eased after the first advance
gave out and is nt present, following New
York on the advance. Washington an
nounces that the glnners report giving
ginnings to September 1 will be pub
lished September 9 at 9 a. m.. our time.
Government detailed records show pretty
gootl scattered rains in Texas, in the
southern portion of the belt also since
Friday. Several stations in Oklahoma re
ported rain this morning and the weather
map shows a big disturbance taking place
in the lake states, which should bring
general precipitation and cooler weather
on the Southern states in a few days
Spot people report demand small and no
improvement notwithstanding the advance

National Glnners’ report will bo pub
lished September 9 at 9 a. in., our time,

The New’ Orleans Times-Democrat says:
i eslerday’s cotton market advanced in
the face of an official crop condition per
centage figure of 74.8, as contrasted with
73.2 last year, and in spite of Secretary
Hester’s compilation showing a commer
cial crop of 16,138.000 W hy? The bull
will tell you speculators generally are
short up to their chins, and that Mr.
Hester's world’s consumption of American
cotton in the year ending August 31. 1912.
of 14,515,000. an increase of 2.461,000 over
the previous year, was a little too much
for the rings to stand. On the other hand
the bear will tell you that the difference
cf 1,397.000 bales between the year’s ex
ports of 10.687,000 and the year’s con
sumption of American cotton by foreign
mills means that just that much more
cotton Is available to the foreign spinner
at the opening of the new season than
was available last year and that bulls, dis
appointed, lifted the market through sheer
force in order to get out their long lines.
The crop and consumption figures, as
I given out by the New Orleans cotton ex
change are surprisingly large, and the tig
tires yet to be given out will probably
’ open the e.ses of the trade wider than
! over. During the closing days of August
some of the cotton-carrying railroads
learned that, through the detouring of
i trains during overflows and as a result
of strikes on the Harriman system, some
I .‘X'9.090 bales were handled, but not re
ported.

CHICAGO, Sept 4.—Wheat values
were %c to %c higher Ibis morning on
rains in France and a better demand in
tlie pit. Cables were somewhat unset
tled. Russian wheat was pressed for sale
and there was some recovery at Liverpool
on the bad weather on the continent.
Intlcr selling by' local trades, prices eased
off later.
Corn was %c to %c lower on good
weather and increased offerings in the pit,
coupled with receipts of nearly 900 cars
here.
'ials were %c tn %c higher, ahd this
too in the face of receipts of nearly 1,000
cars.
Provisions were stronger with hogs
Wheat closed stronger in tone with
prices % to %c higher The price trend
was considered a natural reaction, follow -
ing a three days' break in values. Scarc
ity of cars to move grain, coupled with
unfavorable weather throughout the belt,
helped.
Corn finished strong with prices rang
ing from % to I%e better. The most,
strength was shown in September, in
which options shorts covered freely.
Oats w'ere % to %c better at the close.
The market trailed (he other grains.
Provisions were sharply lower, pork
being 17% to 20c: lard 5 to 12%c, and
ribs. 7% tn 17%c off.
Liquidation by longs and lack of buying
power were the influences.
