New York, Sept. 1O.-The cotton
market opened irregular and excit-
ed, with prices up 43 to 81 points on
a wave Of buying the equal in size, of
which has not been witnessed on
change In many years. Every brok-
ter had buying orders. Representa-
:tiyes Of southern and foreign inter
ests3 fr~antically e%ndenyored to secure
enormous blocks of cotton which, for
q brief period, seemed to become
priceless. Later a tumble of 10 to 90
points occurred and sudden turn
about, holders unloading for profits.
But the market showed nn,azing re-
Cooperative energies, and iii the face
of weak md late cables rebounded
~ to IS points with a rush on gen
eral buying. The excitement in the
pit was unprecedented. Thereafter
the fluctuations were violent both
ways, though at no time did the
bears claim the slightest influence.
Conservative estimates placed the
forenoon transactions at $50, 900 bales,
The origin of the bull drive and the
panic of the bears was the West India
hurricane in the heart of Texas, the
best cotton country.

London Mail: The simple title

that serves between Queen Victoria

There r few other courts where.
this wholesome simplicity prevails.
The emperor Of Germany IS .Ma-:
jestat"-there is. no pronoun in the
title-to all and sundry, even to his
family, except when in absolute pri-
yacy. The emperor of Austria Is
"Eurer Majestnt" at all times and un4

Greece is ..Votre Majesten-French be-
ing the court lnnguage-and our re-
cent visitor. the king of Sweden. is
aaErs Majestat.n Their royal consorts
r addressed with the same formal-
Sity.
Only at the courts of Belgium and
Italy may the sovereign be greeted MS
..sire. or MADAME though the eti-
qnette of the Russian court permits
it when the French language IS being
used. When Russian is being spoken;
