is somewhat mysterious 10 me. When
the fathers built the basement wall on
which the Reorganization now stands,
they fiamed nine resolutions as the

work. The sixth one reads: Resolved,
That the whole law Of the church OF
Jesus Christ Is contained In the Bible,
Book OF Mormon, and Doctrine and
Covenants"
turn to those books but fail TO find
any provision for four presidents for

PANIC IN THE COTTON MARKET

New York, Dec. 1S.-Almost unDrece-

ton exchange today. Seldom, If ever in
the history Of the institution has the
volume of business been so great as that
transacted today. No official record OF
the sales was made, but ii is estimated
that the amount Of cotton traded in came
near reaching the milHon-bale mark, the
heaviest previous total beng about $780,
900. There was perfect avalanche Of
orders. The close was easy at q decline

at which time a condition bordering on
panic prevailed. The decline was attend

of the collapse was heavy selling start

feet that the rate of money was advanc-

to topple over again. The general weak
