POU LT E-DITt-D Zr JUKE E.J.MARSHALL. Getting Ready for Winter We have this year had a very good old-fashioned summer j some of the wise ones are predicting a severe winter. Be that true or not, it is a mighty good plan while the weather is fine to fix up for whatever may come in the way of bad weather. We always get a lot of mighty rough weather before the winter is all over, which is hard on the chick ens inadequately housed. The poultry houses should be among the first things to be looked after. A loose hinge ~e re . a broken board there should all have our attention. Fix that leak in the roof. If it is paper or felt roofing, it is a good plan, where j t is tender and easily torn, to take a lot of lath nails and go over it, nailing one on wherever it has become loosened. You know the wind plays havoc with such places when they once get started. I find these lath nails better t.hany any large headed nails for the repair work. It may be necessary in order to preserve the roof to give it a coat of paint, even if it be some cheap kind of paint. Then there is the fencing that more than likely needs a little straightening up and a few staples and nails at different points. The storms and hot sun of summer will warp and twist things about so that they pull the nails from the posts and the first thing vou know you have two valuable males tearing themselves to pieces in a bloody battle. Better remedy this in advance than to try to repair after the mischief is done. Posts that have about rot ted off can often be stayed in such a manner as to avoid, for the time being, the expense of an entirely new one. Gates that have been hanging by the eye-lids should be straightened up. All disused brood coops should be cleaned and stored in some dry place after being repaired, if necessary. The present is a slack time with the chicken man and is a good time for this cleaning up job. One must not forget the dust bath for cold weather, and that it can not be shoveled up in cold, wet weather as it can at this time, so let us fix up a good supply. Fill a barrel or two, accord ing to the needs of the flocks. Good, dry road dust is usually the thing sought, but any good, dry loam -will do the work as well, but it must be dry when put away or it will never be dry when barreled up. Get rid of all the chickens there is not likely to be any profit in during the winter. Kill off the old hens that are not laying any more and the surplus cockerels unless there be those that will be in demand for breeders in the spring at good prices. In other words, do not let a lot of dead beats eat their heads off before you know it. It is the taking care of these little leaks that brings up the balance on the right side of the ledger. Judge Marshall will be glad to answer in this department questions on all points of rearing utility and fancy poultry. He ean not undertake, however, to reply personally to such let ters of inquiry.

I.—Strength in Liv . orpool cables caused the cotton market to open barely steady today with irregu larity predominating prices ranging 3 Ptptnts higher to 4 points lower than last night s clostx. The Journal of Commerce i in their cotton report on conditions as of September 24, placed condition at 70.3, showing a decline of 5.1 from the previous month, which was 75.4. against 70.8 a year ago. I’his report when contrasted with previous year was regarded as very bear- Lsll causing free selling from many sources which resulted in most active positions dropping 5 to 8 points from the early range. The buying was general, which seemed to come chiefly from shorts. I’hroughout the morning session the market was marked with heavy selling, which seemed to come mostly from com mission houses and the ring crowd. 'l’his selling was thought to he to further long liquidation. The buying was chiefly con tributed to spot interests and some short covering before the government report, to .be issued .tomorrow at noon, which is I anticipated by. many to be around 6!L . I here was fair buying by certain bro kers. which was said to be for New Or- I leans account. During the afternoon trailing shorts i continued to cover and prices regained i the initial decline, ranging from un changed to 6 points above the opening i prices. A disposition rest among the bears to hold their cotton, as some of the most conservative operators believe there should be a good rally in the very near fu t ure. At the close the market was steady with prices ranging from unchanged to 5 points above the final quotations of .Mon day. ?ANGF. OF NF’.V YORK FIJTUt7C3.

By CHARLES W. STORM. NEW YORK. Oct. I.—Weakness was the dominant fnqtor in the stock market at the opening today, with Canadian Pa cific sustaining a loss of 1%. the biggest decline among the standard issues. tra ders assigned several causes for the weakness, among them the Balkan sit uation and the raised call money rate, which followed the calling of loans by banks sot the payment of dividends and interest on stocks and bonds today, amounting to m«re than $170,000,000. The initial weakness was immediately followed by a reaction and a number of stocks made material gains The buying movement gave an tippearance of irregu larity. United States Steel common opened % off, but made up of the loss. Amalgamated ('upper showed the same decline. Among the other declines on first stiles were Erie common %. Read ing %, American Smelting %, Missouri Pacific %. Union Pacific >»., Southern Pa cific % The curl) market was irregular. Tlie London market was depressed by the Balkan outlook, reflecting the sen timent of all the continental bourses. Americans there were heavy and Cana dian Pacific was weak on general selling. In the late afternoon trading a number of the important issues made substantial gains, although selling on a large scale continued to come from London. Th/ 1 tone held firm.

ST. LOUIS CASH QUOTATIONS. Wheat—No. 2 red 105 @106% Corn 69% Oats 33 @ 33% CHICAGO. Oct. I.—Wheat opened strong in tone and from %c to %c higher in price today, mainly on strong cables, which caused a good buying demand. The strength in Liverpool was attributed to the Balkan war scare and to an im proved demand for American and Cana dian wheat. Russian offerings were also firmer. Corn was firm and a shade higher at the opening, hut prices eased off under free offerings. flats were steady to a shade higher. Demand was fair at the start Provisions were firm and higher. Sym pathy with strength in wheat was tlie main factor. The war scare helped. Wheat showed net advances of %c to ,c for the day and closed around the. best prices reached'. There was only a small business'in cash wheat, total sales amounting to 10,000 bushels. Clearances for the day were again liberal at 647,- 000 bushels, but this was mainly old sales. Corn closed %c to %c lower. Corn was under considerable pressure and was almost completely without recuperative power. There were sales of 80.000 bush els of <ash corn and 110,000 bushels of cash oats. Oats were unchanged to %c lower. The provision market was a surprise to everybody, as II was generally believed, this morning that with tlie free delivery of lard here tnere would be a price set back. but instead of a decline there was an advance.
