Feature of the Day.
BEARS MADs A LATE SUCCESSFUL RAID
In The Final Dealings Buying to Cover Caused
General Rise. Cotton Opened at
Loss But Recovered and
Clostd Steady.
(By the Associated Press.)

New York, August 14.-Some I'M
provement is noted today in home de-
mand for cotton goods, but the market
continues quiet. Prices are unchanged
for both staple and fancy lines. Print
cloths are quiet with sellers at previous
prices. In mems wear woOlens and
worsteds staple lines are firm and
tending against buyers. Dress goods
continue dull.
COTTON.
New York, August 14.-The cotton
market opened steady with prices four
to six points under last nights closing
but later recovered the loss and closed
very steady The early weakness was
due to surprisingly weak English
cables and to reports of more raina
where needed in the Southwest. 1t was
apparent from the first that the pit con-
tingent was DESTROYS of taking profits
on the last decline, rather than to in
crease commitments on the bear side.
The chief reason for this lack of conf
dence lay in the fact that crop accounts
were very much mixed. Too much
rain was again complained of in the
! Carolinas and parts of Georgia. Cen
Nal Texas was still without rain in
amy counties; shedding was reported
in portions of the Central belt and crop
estimates were being cut down west or
the Mississippi River. The official add
vices gave showers in South Central
Texas but the forecast pointed to clear
ing conditions tonight in that region
Soon after the call prices stiffened up
to nearly the final bids of yesterday and
while there We're reactions from this
lever, later the market displayed a
steadier undertone than in some time OF
late, and during the afternoon held we'll
up on covering, light invest
ment support and some buying for
Southern account. Report that
windstorm was working its way up
through the Mississippi valley
led to some misapprehensions, as
did rumor that exporters We're more
willing to consider offers from spot
cotton holders in the South. The Fall
River mill situation was not materially
changed. In the last half hour, October
advanced to 7.24 and January to 7.2S on
a scare of shorts, brought about by
damage reports from the storm centre
in the lower Mississippi valley. The
close was very steady with prices net
two points higher to one point lower.

MINERS SECRET CONFERENCE.
Believed Plans Were Considered For
Thacker District, w. Va.

Parkersburg, w. Va, Oct 2.-The
leading representatives of the United
Mine Workers of America, from all
the coal mining states, had been in
session at the VanWinkle hotel here
for several days and left last night,
with the secrets OF their sessions well
kept. Nothing can be learned here
by representatives of the operators
or anyone else as to what matter was
under consideration. The operators
were inclined to believe that plans
were discussed of special application
20 West Virginia, and at the same
time that some movement was under
way involving all of the mining dis
tricts. 1t is said that President
Mitchell could not be present ON ac-
count of sickness. but even this could
not be confirmed from any of those
who were in attendance. It Is gener-
ally believed here that plans were
considered for the relief of the
Thaeker district in West Virginia
where trouble between the miners
and operators has existed for some
time.
It is quite probable that the charac-
ter of the proceedings will not be-
come known until reported to the
local unions from Indianapolis.

CONTEST WAS NO RACE.
Wind Not Favorable For Yachts ia

New York, Oct. 2.-The attempt

thrilling sport of last Saturday wit
messed instead more Of drifting
match than a race The wind was
exceedingly light and variable, at
times falling SO low that the gossamer
wind remnants, which are as light as
thistle down, hung limp against the
nasts of the big single stickers.
The wind, with crews lined up on
the lee rails, was not sufficient at any
time to make the racing machines
heel to their lines. At the end Of
about four and half hours the two
yachts had covered less than half of
the prescribed course of 80 miles, and
as there was no possibility Of their
finishing within the time limit the
regatta committee declared the race
eff. When the. gun was fired an.
nouncing this decision the challenger
was about half mile ahead of the

JoHNSON'S REQUEST REFUSEp.
Ohio Board Decided 1t Hadn't Power
to Increase Appraisements.


Columbus, O., Oct. 1.-The state
board of equalization decided that it
had no power to increase the values
of the railroads of Ohio, as appraised
for purposes of taxation. The board
was guided in this action by the opiE-
ion of the attorney general. A de-
mand was made upon the board by
Mayor Johnson, of Cleveland, that the
appraisement of the railroads OF the
state be raised to 60 per cent of their
value, as shown by the marhot value
Of their stocks and bonds.
He claimed that their present APP
nraisement is only about Il per cent
of their value, computed on this
basis. Mayor Johnson had previously
declared that If the state board re-
fused his demand he would bring
mandamus proceedings to compel
them to accede to it.
