"A plant whose product must be ship

That, after all, is the main point to be
considered In selecting Il site for the

eminent dock yard in the country. 4

Coal and iron loaded ut the mines can
be put into this yard without breaking

by every token. Portsmouth is infinite

We are glad the Star Joins The vir-

COTTON MARKETS

T. New FORK, September 20.--The cotton
market made a steady start at an adj
vance of 345 points, early cables show
ing less decline at Liverpool that expect
ed and also an increased demand for
spot cotton. Private cables also pointed
to broadening speculation. but after the.
hrss cali was over liquidation set in
on somewhat heavy scale. for these
times; and prices broke. 5SIF points from
the highest. January contracts sold
down from 6.GG to $50, and leading the
rest OF the list. There were n few ter
walls of rally; but. in the main, the mar
ket showed decidedly weak undertonc,
primarily due to big receipts and a dis
position to ignore the yellow fever scare.
In the afternoon the market was quite
irregular and at times decidedly weak
under heavy estimates for to-morrow's
movement. The close was easy at a net
decline of 500 points. :: :, :,
