worn with it, and there is an effective
embroidery of autumnal leaves on the
corsage and reappearing on the skirt.

STARVING CHINESE
BECOME CANNIBALS;
SOLDIERS MISSING
SHANGHAI. Sept. 26.—Fifty Chinese
soldiers who set out with a wagon train
of rice from Nlngpo to relieve some of
the hundreds of thousands of starving
persons in the eastern half of Cheang
province, which was recently swept by
I a typhoon, have disappeared and it is
believed they were killed and eaten.
A telegram received here today from
Nlngpo states that a missionary who
has just returned there from the Ngeu
river valley, after incredible hardships,
reports that famishing men and women
have been turned to cannibals by star
vation. Floods which followed the ty
phoon washed away their crops and
drowned their live stock.
Along the coast in the low-lying
country circling the bay of £how. a
tidal wave killed thousands and their
bodies are strewn upon the beaches,
save where they were washed out into
the sea.
No hopes remain that the band of
soldiers escaped death. Mutiny, which
was afterward quelled, broke out
among the soldiers when they were or
dered Into the zone of desolation to do
grave duty." The soldiers feared
death from pestilence If they ventured
into the storm-swept districts, where
thousands of bodies had lain In the
open since the floods went, down, ten
days ago.

MAY HOLD THEIR NEXT
REUNION IN SEPTEMBER

The local camp of the Confederate Vet

the actual date for the next annual re

month with the gray veterans.
General Bennett H. Young, com
mander-in-chief, has notified Captain
L-. T. Dickinson, of this city, that he
had been urged to set the date- for the
reunion in September, but that he
would take no official action until some

YORK. Sept. 26.—Selling of cot
ton which had been bought yesterday on
the supposition that frost would prevail
over the eastern belt, came out at the
opening of the cotton market today, with
the result that the list ranged from un
changed to 4 points below last night’s
close. The tone was firm. After the call
there was further selling, which de
pressed prices about 6 points under last
night s close.
cont inued general and heavy
throughout the morning session and it
was estimated that fully 100,000 bales were
thrown upon the market. It’s very hard
to say where this cotton came from, but
the general belief is that the bear element
is endeavoring to get the market in lower
levels to enable them to take on a vast
amount of cheap cotton and large orders
Til ere cast upon the market on the theory
that much money had been lost in previ

Where this cotton went to it’s verv
dHTlcult to say who absorbed it, but it is
believed spot interests took a great quan
tity of it. After this precipitant selling
wave the market steadied and prices
worked back toward the opening.
December and January displayed the
most weakness. December dropped from
H-i to while January fell from
11.&2 to 11.43. The remaining positions
followed the decline moderately. There
was little or nothing doing in the market
during the afternoon, while fluctuations
were narrow with prices an aggregate of
* to 7 points from the opening. There
seemed to be a good demand for cotton
on all declines, which was a dominating
factor for the firmly maintained prices.
During the last half hour of trading re

prices slumped hack into the low levels
with October going to 11.02. At the close
the market was steady with prices a net

HAYWARD & CLARK’S
DAILY COTTON LETTER
NEW ORLEANS. Sept 26 -The weight
of supplies and the indifference on the
part of consumers seem to outweigh for
the present bullish weather and crop
developments. Liverpool again came in
dull and easy, with spots 1 point lower.
New York support also seemed absent,
for that market opened lower In spite of
bad weather news, and caused a corre
sponding decline here in December to
11.51. New York reports an unfavorable
technical condition of the market, absence
of speculative short interest and gives
this as a reason for the lack of support
by hull operators
The weather, however, is so bad that
pressure against bull interests was not
very pronounced and the market rallied
and settled around 11.56 for December.
The map shows fair weather in Texas
and north Oklahoma, and cloudy else
where. I’nusually low temperatures in
the northwestern quarter. General rains
in south Texas and the central states;
no rain and seasonable temperatures in
the eastern states Heavy to killing frost
was reliably reported from many points
in Oklahoma, with temperatures of 32 de
grees.
Indications are for a slight rise in tem
peratures. in the Northwest, but colder
and more rain for the central and east
ern belt. Some storm formation is
shown in the east Gulf, but the cold wave
over the belt is likely to control it and
keep it out of the belt. There is no longer
any doubt that the Oklahoma crop lias
been considerably cut down by the cold
wave Full facts will only be known
In a few days.

NEWS AND GOSSIP
Os the Fleecy Staple
NEW YORK, Sept. 26.—Carpenter, Bag
got & Co.: A special report to The Jour
nal of Commerce said: “Mississippi sea
son still about three weeks late and an
early frost would considerably shorten the
yield. 801 l weevils very numerous ami
much damage inflicted, together with the
army worm, which seriously impaired top
crop prospects. Dry weather and army
worms chief cause of shedding, hut little
loss has occurred from this source. Sev
eral jioints in percentage condition have
been lost during the month. Crop only
about 13 per cent picked, against 28 per
cent, against 17 per cent two years ago.
'Louisiana—Worms and boll weevils,
accompanied by hot weather, have caused
considerable deterioration and very much
lessened prospects of a top crop. Foliage
badly stripped and bolls are exposed.
Condition considerably below last month,
but probably better than last year when
it was 61.2 and 49.3 year before. Percent
age picked is roughly 32 per cent, against
-16 last year and 38 two years ago."
Anticipations prevail that frost will not
be detrimental to cotton to a great extent.
Dallas wires: “Texas clear to part
cloudy and cold, Amarillo 38; light frost;
no other frost reported; 42 i’aris, 46 Dal
las, 42 Henrietta. Oklahoma clear and
cold: heavy frost at New Kirk, Caching,
Chandler, Sayre, Clinton and Oklahoma.
Division of Missouri, Kansas and Texas
railroad, Bartlesville to Oklahoma City,
light frosts, Osage. Bristow.”
There has been fully a hundred thou
sand hales of cotton thrown on the mar
ket this morning. This cotton has been
taken by somebody and it Is believed by
spot people.
After the heavy wave of selling was
over the market responded easily to little
buying.
There is no question of heavy frosts in
Oklahoma and will be followed by more
tonight. This we must not overlook, it
is very early for such cold w-eather and
is a forerunner of what we may expect in
a very short while.
Reports of deterioration continue to
come in and there is no question that the
crop is much smaller than many believe.
Spot demand continues good and in the
face of this demand and the very unfa
vorable weather conditions we may ex
pect a higher market.
Following are 11 a. in. bids: October,
11.19; December, 11.50; January, 11.49;
March. 11.63.
NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 26.—Hayward &
Clark: The weather map shows fair in
north Texas and Oklahoma; cloudy else
where. Unusually low temperature in
north Texas and Oklahoma; 44 at Fort
Worth, 36 at Oklahoma City. General
rains in central states; heavy at several
points. Indications are for slightly warm
er weather in the northwest, but colder
and more rain in central and eastern
states. Some storm formation in east
gulf, but cold wave is likely to keep it out.
Waco, Texas, wires: “Cotton fields in
central Texas spotted in many sections,
particularly in Ellis, Hilt! and McLellan
counties. Extremely light top crop is
present prospect for that section. Farm
ers selling fast as crop is ginned. Com
presses in north and central Texas con
gested; look for heavier receipts at Gal
veston.
A light frost prevailed at Amarillo,
Texas, last night. The temperature stood
at 38; no other frost reported in Texas.
Dallas. Texas, temperature was 46
Party in Hobart. Okla., wires: "Heavy
frost in bottoms; light frost uplands;
some ice over western Oklahoma.'*
The New Orleans Times-Democrat says:
Both factions continue drawing cold com
fort only from the cotton market. At the
moment the weather is working against
the big crop people, while all along thus
far this season restricted demand from
spinners has been working against the
high price folk. In the broader aspect the
general situation does not seem to be
undergoing any potential change, unless
frosts are to curtail the yield, but in the
immediate aspect the ramifications of a
rather complicated environment are con
stantly shifting.
Yesterday's promise of frost in portions
of Oklahoma, Arkansas and Texas, it is
reasonable to suppose, brings the crop
nearer the date of killing frost, particu
larly so since the cold snap weaves are
coming with striking frequency, it would
be folly to assume that an early killing
frost would not curtail the yield in Okla
homa, Arkansas and Texas, at least to
some extent. Even now some spot people
in Oklahoma express concern in this con
nection. On the other hand, port stocks
are piling up with startling rapidity and
now exceed those at this time last year
by some 99,500 bales in spite of smaller
receipts to date by some 67,600 bales.
Following are 10 a. nt. bids: October,
11.42: December, 11.58; January, 11.04;
March, 11.72.
Estimated receipts Friday:

New Orleans 1,500 to 2,500 3,188
Galveston 22.500 to 24.500 23,068
COTTON MARKET OPINIONS.
Logan & Bryan: “The selling seems to
come from spot houses who have selling
orders in the way of hedges.”
Bailey & Montgomery: “It is unlikely
there can be any permanent decline until
danger of freeze in some sections is pub
lished."
J. S. Bache * Co.: “We advise extreme
caution in going long at this price.”
.Miller & Co.: “We continue bullish, es
pecially favoring December."
Hayden, Stone & Co.: “Should frost
fail to materialize the market will prob
ably be called upon to absorb a consider
able volume of cotton."

| STOCKS IT CLOSE
Market Steadies on Lack of
Sufficient Supply of Money,
Postponing Manipulation.
By CHARLES W. STORM.
NEW YORK. Sept. 26 Although first
prices were generally above last night's
close, a selling movement developed im
mediately after the opening of the stock
exchange today, which in some instances
turned the advances into losses.
Much of the selling was said to repre
sent profit-taking. United States Steel
common, after beginning % higher, lost
%• Amalgamated Copper was 1-4 higher at
the start, but this gain was later reduced
to '.c, Canadian Pacific made about the
best initial spurt, rising a full point, but
within fifteen minutes it had lost %.
American Smelting was % 'ip and fluc
tuated around that price. Southern Pa
cific was % higher at the commence
ment, hul slumped. Baltimore and Ohio
was % higher, but later lost it.
Traders were of the opinion that the
rise in call monev rates was chiefly re
sponsible for the bearish trend.
The curb market was steady.
Americans in London were firm.
Price movements in the late forenoon
were Irregular. A number of the leading
railroads and industrials were under
pressure and sustained fractional losses.
A few of the copper shares were under
pressure.
The stock market closed heavy; gov
ernments unchanged; other bonds sternly.

CHICAGO. Sept. 26.—There were further
price recessions of %(ft% in wheat this
I morning caused by the lack of support
( front all of the interests which have
been in the market on the bull side for
some time. Corn was %c higher to %'Jj)
%c lower, with the strength shown in
September on shorts covering.
Oats wer off %ift %c in sympathy with
wheat anfl hog products were fractionally
lower and slow.
Wheat closed about %c lower, which
was about %c better than the low point
for the day. A slow milling demand in
the winter wheat markets and bearish
foreign advices were the main weakening
factors. Absence of export demand and
favorable weather helped. A rally oc
curred late in the session from the bot
tom levels on buying by shorts to secure
profits.
Corn closed with prices ranging from
% to %c lower. Liquidation by longs was
the main feature.
Oats were off % to %c. This market
followed wheat and corn.
_ Provisions were inclined to follow grain.
The January products were firmer because
of the talk of frost and crop losses in the
corn belt.

Liberal reeeitps of cattle in yards this
week Several loads of Tennessee cattle,
with better per cent of heavy steers in
good flesh, which were sold promptly at
I prices about equal to quotations of week
i ago. However, owing to the heavy re
!'-eipts, cattle in middle class sold off a
| fraction and the market is quoted barely
steady with a weaker undertone on me
dium grades and 10c to 25c lower on the
■ common kinds.
Feeding steers will begin to move free
ly after another week and larger re
ceipts are expected of good butchr steers
which will be considered too fat for the
! average feeder to begin on.
t'ow stuff is plentiful, local shoppers be
ing able to fully meet the market re-
I quirements.
Sheep am! lambs with quality are in
I good demand, mixed and common lower
I and are slow sale at lower prices.
Hog receipts moderate. Market steady.
If what you have for sale is not worth
' the price of a Want Ad in The Georgian
for a few times then talk business to the
junk man. ,
