WILSON IS 4-TO-1
FAVORITE IN N. I
Taft Placed Ahead of Roose
velt in Betting on Broad
velt in the Betting oi Wall
Street Curb.
NEW YORK, Oct. 9. —On the Broad
street curb market today, for the first
time since the presidential campaign
opened, bets were registered which
practically allowed for no doubt in the
minds of the bettors as to the election
of Woodrow Wilson to the White House
in November. Odds, which for a num
ber of weeks varied from 2 to 1 on the
Democratic candidate to to 1, were
definitely set at 4 to 1, and the offer of
a well-known betting commissioner to
wager $4,000 against SI,OOO on the
chances of a Democratic victory were
soon snapped up. •
Against both Taft and Roosevelt the
odds still stood today without bets be
ing made at last week’s level, with Taft
slightly the favorite over Roosevelt. But
it was still undecided among the bet
ters whether Taft or Roosevelt would
get the greater number of vates, so
the wagers which were made were at
even money. A fornight ago Taft was
a favorite, but Roosevelt appears to
have gained e’.ough favor to warrant
1 placing him on even terms.
A man on Broad street anounced him
i self willing to wager 1 to that Wil
' v. uld receive a greater popular
; v’o'.c than both Roosevelt and Taft
; combined.
On the New York* state elettion Sul
zer is the favorite.

icides per 100.000 of population for some of
the other cities is as follows:

SEAL PACK IN ALASKAN
SEAS LARGEST SINCE ’97
WASHINGTON, Oct. 9.—The seal pack
in the Alaskan waters is the largest in
fifteen years, with the exception of one
year, according to Commissioner of Fish
eries Bowers.
Bowers in his annua) report will show
that there are 90.000 more seals in the
rookeries in the Behring region than last
year. Os these the females increased
from 39,400 to 81,934.
Bowers will attribute this big increase
to the suspension of pelagic sealing, over
which a bitter controversy has been
waged before congressional committees.

Balkan Situation Is Depressing
Factor —Mills Absorb Freely,
Holding Prices Steady.
NEW YORK. <>ct 9. - Weakness in Liver
pool cables, which was said to be caused
by war news, caused the cotton market 1
here to open easy at 8 to 10 points de
cline from last night's close. There was
fair buying by spot houses, while the '
selling was general. After the call the
market was featureless and prices showed
a tendency to sag around the early
ranges. The weather condition overnight
was of a bearish character, but indica
tions were for rainy weather over the
belt, to be followed by a cold wave the
latter part of the week.
A Liverpool cable said: “Market feels
the influence of weak stock market sell
ing against actual.”
Continued selling abroad on reports oi
pending hostilities in southeastern Europe
combined with further Southern hedge
selling caused prices to be hammered
heavily by Schill and the local ring
crowd, which resulted in a further down
ward movement in p. ices, aggregating 7
to 9 points below the early range. The
buying continued rather general from
scattered spot interests, but failed to have
a stimulating effect upon the market.
During the afternoon trading the buy
ing of some mills started prices on an up
ward move, gaining most of the initial
declines. Outside of the aggressiveness of
the mills there was very little support to
the market. The prediction of colder
weather over parts of the belt for the next
few days had very little effect. The sell
ing continued freely by some of the larger
operators, who have up to the present
time supported the market, and the up
town crowd who bought for a rally threw
their cotton upon the market for sale, but
the buj ng continued freely, which kept
prices comparatively unchanged from the
opening.
At the close the market was firm with
prices a net decline of 5 to 11 points from
the final quotations of Tuesday.

'HAYWARD & CLARK'S
DAILY COTTON LETTER
NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 9.—Liverpool
; was very poor, showing futures as much
j as 8 points lower than due; spot prices 3
i points higher; sales. 10,000 bales. The de-
I cline is undoubtedly due to the serious
' political situation, reflected by sharp
breaks in government securities. Consols
, '.bis morning 3-1.6 lower; French rentes
' 371 2 points down to 89.60, followed by a
i further decline to 89.5214 later in the day.
The map shows generally fair weather
tin the belt; no rain except a little in the
I northwestern portion. While the eastern
: part, of the belt may enjoy good weather
| for a day or so longer, indications are for
ruin and bad weather to come on the
I belt from the northwest, followed by a
i cold wave in the next few days.
I Our market opened about 15 points
j lower and remained in a waiting attitude.
| Unfavorable weather prospects and the
i large difference from Liverpool deterred
many from selling, and yet if is not im
probable that the difference from Liver
pool may widen further.
The large Indian crop is a serious com
petitor to our medium and lower grades
and political conditions in Europe may
curtail her importing power. In the ex
citement of trade expansion and develop
ment, particularly in Germany, funds and
credits have been unduly stretched and
any contraction in trade loans and credit
will have a far-reaching effect in restrict
ing trade and buying power, keeping the
weight of the supply of raw material
longer on our side.
The market continued dull and easy
with a marked absence of support, prices
sagging to 10.75 for December in the sec
ond hour.

NEW YORK. Oct. 9.—Carpenter, Bag
got & Co.: The weakness in Liverpool
was caused, it is said, by the declaration
of war. and our market was sold treelv
on the opening.
There were some good buying orders,
which prevented a further decline early.
Mitchell. Schill, New Orleans brokers.
Riordan and ring crowd generally sold
the market. Selling based on difference
between this market and Liverpool being
too much.
It looks like those who bought for a
turn have thrown short cotton out this
morning,- and there is a general wave of
selling on war talk and good weather
conditions.
Riordan and Schill were the best buyers
today. The selling was general through
out the entire session.
Dallas' wires: “Texas Few scattered
clouds; pleasant. Oklahoma—Kain at
Purcell, threatening at Chandler, cloudy
at Perry and Bristow; balance clear and
pleasant.”
Riordan, Rice and Schill about the best
buyers today, while selling is general.
Hentz buying, but market receiving very
little support.
Prediction of cold weather by local ex
perts caused some buying today.
Following are 11 a. m. bids; October
10.44, December 10.69, January 10.64,
March 10.78.
NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 9. ,<•
Clark: The weather map shows generally
fair in the belt, except partly cloudy
in central Texas, central Georgia; no rairf
except light precipitation In northwestern
quarter. Indications are for rainy weath
er coming on the belt, followed by cold
wave in the next few days.
Spots dull and at least *4c lower. F.
o. b. offerings very liberal.
Official Washington weather map shows
a large cold wave formation in the north
west and every Indication for severe cold
weather coming on the belt within the
next three days, preceded by general
rains.
The New Orleans Times-Democrat's
summary: Cotton belt weather was good
enough, exporters reported demand very
limited ano Southern spot markets re
flected further weakness. Nevertheless,
the American contract markets advanced
soon after learning that Montenegro had
declared war. Bulls explained the reac
tion as being due to an oversold condi
tion. Bears said it was merely an in
terlude, a spasm of strength as it were.
In the main, contract speculators seem
as confident as ever that values will break
through 10c, but of late actual cotton
dealers have begun to take a more nat
ural view of the situation. Cotton is
less freely offered, the basis is not so
easy, exports are running on a much
better scale, and estimates of the crop
east of the Mississippi river are smaller
than they have been. On the other
hand. Mr. Hester figures the average
weight of bales handled during Septem
ber as 15 pounds greater than last year,
which at least suggests a large crop, and
advices from the west continue to sup
port belief in a very large yield west of
the Mississippi river.
Dallas now’ quotes middling at 10 7-16 c,
and the weather map holds out no prom
ise of very near future killing frosts in
the cotton belt.

Heavy Foreign Pressure Causes
Weak Opening—Domestic
Trading Gives Strength.
By CHARLES W. STORM.
NEW YORK, Oct. 9.—Pressure on for
eign markets caused by the outbreak of;
police hostilities in the Balkan resulted in i
the stoclj market opening weak. The loss '
ranged from fractions to 2% sustained by
Canadian Pacific.
Nearly all the important industrial is- |
sues suffered losses ranging around 1 :
point, with the coalers about the only
stocks which showed support. Peoples
Gas was strong in the specialties list, ris
ing % to 12 1-3. The copper stocks were
affected by the disappointing report of
copper productions. Amalgamated lost %
■while American Smelting declined %.
Chino yielded 1% to 4. Reductions were
scored again in Utah and Tennessee.
Reading, which yielded % in the first few
minutes, recovered. United States Steel
common dropped >4 and the preferred %.
Among other losses were Southern rail
way 14, Southern Pacific ’%, Union Pacific
%, Atchison %, Missouri Pacific and Erie
common were unchanged.
At the end of 15 minutes stocks had
rallied. Curb was weak.
Americans in London lacked support.
Canadian Pacific in London was heavy on
and Paris selling.
The tone in the late forenoon was
heavy. Trading was influenced to a
great extent by pressure from abroad,
■ which was directed against many of the
leading speculative issues. Steel common
receded a point to 77%. and similar de
clines were noted in Union Pacific. St.
Paul. Reading and Lehigh Valley. Some
of the traction issues were strong.

CHICAGO, Oct. 9. —Wheat opened
stronger in tone, with prices ranging from
%c to %c higher today. The unsettled
political situation abroad, firm grain ca
bles and unfavorable weather in the
Northwest were the strengthening fac
tors. The Ohio October report, as wired
by C. A. King & Co., of Toledo, makes
the wheat crop of that state 10,500,000
bushels. This was one of the states where
the northern section was entirely frozen
out.
Corn was %c to %c higher on cover
ing by shorts and small offerings. Liver
pool reported a strong feeling there and
prices higher.
Oats were a shade better in sympathy
with other grains, coupled with the enor
mous business in the cash article.
Hogs products were unchanged for the
entire list with the exception of ribs,
which were a shade lower. Hogs at the
yards were a trifle higher.
