STARVING CHINESE
BECOME CANNIBALS;
SOLDIERS MISSING
SHANGHAI, Sept. 26.—Fifty Chinese
soldiers who set out with a wagon train
of rice from Ningpo to relieve some of
the hundreds of thousands of starving
persons in the eastern half of C'heang
province, which was recently swept by
a typhoon, have disappeared and It is
believed they were killed and eaten.
A telegram received here today from
Ningpo 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 Chow, 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.
SOUTHERN VETERANS
MAY HOLD THEIR NEXT
REUNION IN SEPTEMBER
CHATTANOOGA, TENN., Sept. 26.
The camp of the Confederate Vet
erans is now attempting to decide upon
the actual date for the next annual re
union, which meets in Chattanooga. It
was originally intended that the re
union should take place In May, but
many camps throughout the South
seem to prefer a later date. Septem
ber appears to be the most popular
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
decision had been reached by the local
camp and the other veterans were con
ferred with.

$2,198.50 owing on the monument to the
women of the South, which was unveiled
here last year;
The announcemnt of the bankruptcy
trustee of a Marietta Marble Company
that the monument would be torn down
and moved away aroused a storm of pro

soliciting money for the cause, and Post
master Harry Stillwell Edwards has vol
unteered to take the lecture and enter

ENORMOUS SALES
LOWEfICOTTON
One Hundred Thousand Bales
Sold in First Hour—Senti
ment Bearish.
♦ yQRK* Sept. 26.—Selling of cot
ton which hud 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.
Selling continued 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
were cast upon the market on the theory
that much money had been lost in previ
ous years in purchasing cotton on frost
this cotton went to it’s very
dirricult to say who absorbed it, but it is
peneved 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
kJ ■D, while January fell from
ll.oL to 11.43. The remaining positions
followed the decline moderately. There
was little or nothing doing In the market
during the afternoon, while fluctuations
wore narrow with prices an aggregate of
to $ points from the opening. There
seemed to be a good demand for cotton
on all declines, which w’as a dominating
factor for the firmly maintained prices.
During the last half hour of trading re
newed selling pressure prevailed and
prices slumped Tack into the low 7 levels
with October going to 11.02. At the close
the market was steady with prices a net
loss of 16 to 23 points from the final fig
ures of Wednesday.

HAYWARD & CLARK’S
DAILY COTTON LETTER
NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 26.—The weight
of supplies and the intlifference 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 bull 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. Unusually 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 has
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
—— , . -i
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 and
much damage Inflicted, together with the
army worm, which seriously impaired top
crop prospects. Dry weather and army
worms chief cause of shedding, but little
loss bas occurred from this source. Sev
eral points 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 bj’ hot weather, have caused
considerable deterioration and very much
lessened prospects of a top crop. Foliage
badly' stripped and bolls are exposed.
Condition considerablj' 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
46 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 Paris, 46 Dal
las, 42 Henrietta. Oklahoma clear and
cold; heavy frost at New Kirk, Cuching,
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 bales 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 weather 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. m. 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. Hild 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; lodk 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-Demoerat 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. Hi 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 waves 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 tb> s time last year
by some 99,500 bales in spite of smaller
receipts to date by some 67,600 bales.

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.”

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 % 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 % up and fluc
tuated around that price. Southern Pa
cific was % higher at the commence
ment, but 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 steady.

CHICAGO, Sept. 26.—There were further
price recessions of %0% In wheat this
morning caused by' the lack of support
from all of the interests which have
been in the market on the bull side for
some time. Corn was %c higher to %@
%c lower, with the strength shown in
September on shorts covering.
Oats Tver off %@%c in sympathy with
wheat anfl hog product* were fractionally
lower and slow.
Wheat closed about %o 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.
