New York Octiber 1S-The general situa-
ton, may be described as more favorable
for the bulls than the bears. Holders are
numerous and confident and II depends
largely how long they will be content to
wait for a fresh rise. The chances appear
to be that nothing of consequence will de-
velop for while. Buyers may appear in
unexpectedly large numbers or may content
themselves with taking profits. AS fire.
quently said, the receipts keep too light to
tempt selling and the absence of frost sug-
gests conservatism in buying. Every days
delay of frost only adds to the size of the
crop and regarding the size not few in
the trade believe 1t underestimate. How
ever, the great majority take contrary
view Although the feeling was rather
mixed this morning initial transactions
were at an advance of to points. This
was largely the result of bying by certain
firms who have been conspicuous for re-
peated attempts to bull the market for
some time Small receipts were indicated
again, while the failure. of frost to mater
ialize, as indicated Yesterday, was without
effect On the either hand the south ap-
peared disposed. to buy more freely and
there were hints of nervousness of export
ers who are very short of October Spot
quotations advanced &c. Southern buyers
were ON a larger scale than for some time.
Weather indications were for fair condi-
tions. Last prices showed 16 to IS points
advance.

THE CROP MOVEMENT SHORT

New York, October 1s.-The features of
the cotton market today were mainly bull
ish. To begin with, speculation was on a
much broader scale than in several weeks,
with the investment public substantially
represented. The cables reflected strong
and advancing markets for futures, spot
cotton and cotton goods throughout Europe;
the statistical situation in this country was
supporting factor; the demand for raw
cotton reached an almost unprecedented
volume at all points, and the crop move
ment fell short of official estimates. The
array of bullish influences disheartened the
majority of the bear traders and led to
lively run to cover. At the same time the
investors were prompted to take a fresh
hold and the southerners to hedge against
short sales in spot cotton futures, January
and later delivery.
Except for an occasional set back of a
point or two under profit taking the course
of prices from start to finish was steadily
upward. On the opening an advance of
6Q7 points was scored By midday this i'm
provement had been increased to sa1o
points The close was steady at a net rise
of 1913 points.

"a New Jersey has been for some years
investigating the question Of polluted
milk from tuberculous cows with a
view Of determining whether such milk
was the cause of consumption among
the people who used it. The subject
was made one of those which the very
excellent State experimental station
attempted to dispose of. For several
years the station has had in its herd of
COWS those which were unquestionably
affected with tuberculosis, but they
were separated from the other animals
and kept solely for the purpose of
making experiments upon the milk
they gave. An editorial correspondent
of the Rural w-Yorker, a high au
thority upon agricultural subjects, has
given the results of these investiga-
tons, which are reassuring even if
they are not accepted as scientifically
correct The report says that 1.-The
milk from these cows has been tested
and analysed again and again, but
thus far no germs have been found in
it. So far as science can determine
these COWS have produced clean and
healthful milk" In discussing the
subject editorially the Journal men
toned says that although no germs
have been found in the milk lit is not
safe to say that the milk has never
contained any. The germs might be
found in one milking and not in an
ether, or in one single quarter of the
udder. 1t is difficult to discover them,
for the testing apparatus is not yet
perfected Still is may be said that
the germs in such milk are very scarce
If they exist at ALL" The statement
seems to explain one very well-estab-
Hshed fact, which is that, while tuber-
culosis in cows is very rapidly increas-
ing, consumption in the human family
is constantly decreasing. 1t is believed
to be a truth that there are few herds
of mich cows that do not contain dis
eased animals, and If the milk from
them serves to spread tuberculosis
among the human family the wonder
is that such results should not be more
apparent. However, the people do not
want milk from diseased cows, and
even if there is great doubt as to the
extent of the danger in the use ofssuch
product it is they and not the distem-
pered animals that should have the
benefit of the doubt.

put the matter to the Washington au-
thorities. He was directed to instruct

The Helvetias new owners then en-

Marks, ST.; George Marks, Jr., and

treal was sent to take the captain.
They found the Helvetia securely bar
ricaded. Young Marks had fought at
San Juan, and he knew thing or two
about the usefulness Of barbed wire.
He surrounded the schooner's deck
with a high fence, and posted pickets
day and night.
Captain Marks met the detectives
with the assurance that he was
"darned glad'' to see them, but would
never give up the ship until he had a
bullet in his heart or $3.50 Of wages in
his pocket. This sentiment was echoed
by his wife, his son, and the twenty
men of his crew. Citizens on shore en-
couraged the plucky skipper. When the
detectives brought fire ladders and at
tempted to scale the Ships barricade,

Mrs Julia Ward Howe was one of

titled "a Trip to Cuba which was
promptly prohibited from circulation

ada, early last winter, with fleet or
eighty vessels, which were passing
through Canadian waters on their way
to the great lakes. The whole fleet was
caught in the ice, and there it had to
remain throughout the winter. While
the vessels We're locked up in the Ice
the company which owned them went
into liquidation, and receiver was
appointed, who finally sold the entire
feet, the Helvetia going to Cleveland
syndicate. Crews and captains of all
the ships were paid off, with the ex-
ception of Captain Marks, who says
that he was told his account was not In
shape and would be got ready as soon
AS possible, and that then he would
receive the money.
Captain Marks crew left for their
homes. His wife, who had been COOK,
remained with her husband, and weeks
went by without the agent returning
to pay the captain his money. He went
to see the United States vice consul,
who said he did not see that he could
do anything under the circumstances.
CAPTAIN Marks then engaged local
crew. his son having arrived, kept on
living on the vessel and awaited de-
.velopments The syndicate paid for
,proyisions for Marks and his wife, but
declared that they were not response
bile for any salaries.
Until his salary was paid Captain
MARKS was determined not to leave.
The owners sent Captain Packer and

Helvetia. Packer explained his mis-
sion. Very emphatically Marks de-
clared that he would stay where he
was until he got his money.

Skipper Marks Defied America and

Captain George Marks, of the Amer1-
can schooner Helvetia, is man who
successfully defled the authorities of
two nations, says the Chicago Inter
Ocean. When he collected his little
bill for $3.50 from the owners of his
boat, Canadians Of Valley Field re-
joiced with Americans. Fireworks,
which had been bought for the Queens
birthday anniversary, were set off In
honor of the doughty captains victory.
The little Canadian village had never
heard such cheers as rent the air when
Captain Marks, his wife and his SOL
der son walked down the gang plank
in possession of a good roll of Domin-
ion bank bills. Captain Marks pic
turesque defiance of two nations

refutes the theory that "steam spells

In the first four months of this year,
In the single State of New Jersey, there
