fair buyer. Its reference to trade with the
continent is the most favorable, stating
that france continues to report remark

active for a fortnight, while stocks are dis

reports plenty of business there, but prices
are improbable and that the continent,

New YORK. November 6.-The majority of
the circumstances that engaged attention

stock market this morning were of a dis

monetary situation which as was to have

the bank statement always does reflect past
conditions, there seemed to be no reason
why money, which was in ample supply on

the statement proved alarming to borrow

was made the most of by the lenders of

market there was good deal of irritation

internal revenue bureau proposed to en-
force those provisions of the revenue act
which provide for a tax upon call loans

INHERENT STRENGTH
OF COTTON MARKET
Leading Futures Broadened in
Speculation.
AN ADVANCE IN LIVERPOOL
Heavy Frosts Occurred Over the Mis-
sissippi Valley = Prices for Flu
lures Closed Steady with
the Prices Net Higher

New York November 6.-The market for
cotton futures exhibited many signs of in
herent strength today, with the leading fea-
ture broadening in speculation. The ten
dency of prices was upward in the fore
noon, but later in the day very heavy profit
taking served to check further improve
ments and at times forced a partial reac-
ton. The opening was steady, with the ac-
tive options to IL points higher this be-
ing but a few points below top notch for
the session. Around the opening, shorts,
room bulls, the investment public, southern
interests and the foreign clique were all
identified as active buyers with the former
unremitting in their efforts throughout the
most of the day. Behind this general de-
sire to secure cotton were strong cables
from Europe, public and private, and a
bulish batch of reports from the crop CEN
ter.
AS for the foreign news, Liverpool had
unexpectedly advanced to 49, points in
the future department. and 1-32d in the
spot department. Special dispatches to
traders on change stated that heavy frosts
had occurred in the Mississippi valley and
pretty much throughout the northern belt
during the past two nights. Despite an ad-
vance of lie to &c in bid price, many spot
cotton dealers in the south could not be
| induced to part with the small supplies re-
naming in their possession, this causing
great uneasiness in export circles and
among American spinners, all of whom
were in need of supplies for prompt ship
ment. The receipts at nearly all points
made a sorry showing in comparison with
those of equal date year ago.
At the close the market for futures was
very steady in tone, with prices net 6 to
Is points higher.

DISCOVERIES ABOUT JUPITER.
Pref. G. W. Hough Upsets All Previous Theories
About that Planet.

Chicago. March PROF. Geo. w.
Hough, the astronomer at Dearborn
University. has made public a new dis
covery in regard to the surface rota-
tons of the new planet Jupiter which
is completely at variance with the eX-
listing belief. 1t is the general tenet of
astronomers that the surfact rotation
of the planet Jupiter is similar to that
of the sun, being quickest near the
equator and slowest near the higher
ATTITUDES, near the poles. Basing his
conclusions upon long record of OBJ
servations extending over 20 years, and
which he has just completed, Prof
Hough announces his belief that the
surface of the planet Jupiter rotates
upon its axis in separate envelopes or
strata.
Prof. Hough further discovered in the
long series of observations that the
spots shift in longitude as well as hav-
ing a rotary movement. and this also
supports the ring or strata theory, re-
sisting the great instability of the sur
face and strengthening Prof. Hough's
belief of many years that Jupiter is a
gaseous or plastic state.

Senate was engaged in routine bust

tional Importance were passed. the for
tifications appropriation bill and the
bill providing code of criminal laws
for the District of Alaska. A provis-

traffic in the latter measure created
considerable discussion and an effor:
was made to incorporate an absolute
