both naval and military officials in
Germany that Germany will make a
fight for South America and it is only
the dread of France that prevents a
contest now. Germany is congested
with a fast increasing population for
who some outlet must be found and
it is the ardent desire of the kaiser
not to lose his people as subjects
when they seek a living beyond the
seas. South America is the only
country still open to settlement on
any large scale. but the United States
stand in the way of acquisition of
territory there and it is no secret
in Berlin or London that Germany
believes itself able to defeat the
United States.
The kaiser is said to be inclined
to war also because of the growing
discomfort of the German masses.
War. he thinks, would divert the
minds of the people from other prob
lens. and tend to strengthen the
power of the military class.
At present the masses are more dis
satisfied than at any period since the
formation of the empire and the
speech of Herr Bebel in the reichstag
denouncing the landlords and point
ing to revolution. voiced the feeling
of millions of German workers who
see no help for themselves or their
children in existing conditions. A
successful war might make the kaiser
superior to every difficulty. On the
other hand, an unsuccessful struggle
with foreign power would only has
ten the catastrophe at home. The
fact that the military men who are
understood to be the kaiser's favored
confidants. talk bitterly and contempt
uously about the United States, it is
is evident that official professions of
friendship don't reflect German de-
signs or sentiments and that the Ger
man navy is being strengthened with
South America in view.

King Edward Afraid Of APP

ASTOR IS DISGUSTED
Hoped to France Around in Boiler Iron
Germany Casts Covetous Eyes on
South America.

London. Dec. "a gentleman very
close to King Edward states that the
chief anxiety OF his majesty in regard
to the coronation ceremonies is not
to appear ridiculous. The king wants
all the ancient pomp and ceremony
except those portions that would
make people laugh and these are be-
ing carefully eliminated from the pro-
gram. He is to be crowned as a king
of today with enough of the past to
carry with it the prestige of the royal
lines and to represent royalty. but
with this in view modern king
must keep the court jester in the back
ground.
A good many people who wanted
to figure in various grotesque parts
at the ceremony are being disap-
pointed by King Edwards attitude
and it is reported that William Wal
dorf Astor, who had hoped to be en-
nobled and prancing about in medi-
eval armor on the eventful day, is
very much disguised and has stopped
practicing how to pose his lance with
limbs dressed in boiler plate and
ceased to display an eager interest
in genealogy. The aristocracy are
paying very little attention to Astor
who has some consolation for the ne
glect. however, in the fact that per-
sonal revenues from America are in
creasing enormously while lords and
ladies who affect to ignore him are
feeling the pinch of diminished in

woman, tall as well as stout, and, with
the fatality of taste to be expected as
surely Of person of her build and hab-

decked her massive comeliness in sat-

storekeeper had assured her that this

wore it with the consciousness that in

owed the steeple-crowned hat trimmed

New Orleans, Sept II Liverpool
early advices were disappointing, the
easiness being due to absence of buy
ers in face of selling againstNspot pur-
chaSes. Our market, however, not
withstanding this. opened 4 to points
higher, subsequently advanced Is to 10
additional on the later Improvement in
Liverpool. Fears of a cold wave
throughout the belt, the Galveston es-
innate of the Texas crop indicating 30
per cent. less yield than last year, and
the prediction by the government of a
hurricane striking the Middle Gulf
coast tonight. All these features
combined caused considerable enthu-
siasm, making the net gain on the day,
81 to % points. The firmness existing
in deliveries was reflected to some ex-
tent in spots, which ruled steadier in
sympathy, but the demand continues
restricted. Sentiment is very bullish
whenever values enhance considerably.
OF course if a killing frost were to
materialize so early in the season then
there would be some foundation for
the scare which was so apparent to-
day. 1t is very unlikely that such
will be the case, consequently that fea-
ture appears to be one of unnecessary
alarm, for the present. The estimate
of the Galveston News. of 80 per cent.
less yield than last year. would point
to a crop of about 2,660,O00. Last year
on Oct %. this authority estimated
the Texas crop at 3,101 900. and the
out turn was 3,S0S, 900. There are many
operators therefore, who believe that
a similar error may be made this year,
while others think the estimate will be
approximately correct. The hurricane
predicted by the government may ma
terialize in the Middle Gulf states, but
as similar storms take place nearly
every year, it is questionable whether
it will cause any greater damage than
those which have occurred in the past.
In other words, in reviewing the sit
uation, the probabilities of damage by
frost and the storm are yet to take
place and unless spinners in the mean
while become free buyers of spots, it
might be hard TO sustain the market,
considering satisfactory textile trade
conditions, which now prevail in Eu-
rope.

New York, Sept. 17.-Virtually moth
ing that was new was presented for
consideration upon the opening of bus
mess In this mornings stock market
and the trading was deprived of the
special influences provided yesterday
from the very pronounced strength of
American stocks in the London mar
ket The early. cable messages this
morning showed small and irregular
changes In prices, and the operations
for foreign account were for small
volume on both sides of the market
The trading was, however, in fairly
large volume, and was very well dis
tributed as a rule. Slight declines re-
suited from the early dealings, but
there were a number of exceptions to
this tendency. st. Paul and Union
Pacific were active features of the rail-
way list, and were dealt In at the
opening at about yesterdays final

reactionary, as were the Southern
Railway shares. The Atchisons also
showed the effect of the reduction of
the short interest in that stock. Cen
trail and Pennsylvania were both dull.
and were dealt in slightly below yes
terday's final level. Among the special
ties Copper reflected pressure. Local
traction issues were steady particu-
larly for Manhattan. In the Industrial
quarter the steel stocks were heavy on
the sales usually following the an
nouncement of an expected event,
which in this instance was the settle

New York, Sept. 1.-THE early prices
for cotton were at an advance of 507
points, despite lower tendency in the
Liverpool market. Weather reports
again tended to unsettle bear conf
dence, and inspire bulls with fresh
courage Excessive rains were the rule
all over the South. and the early ,e-
ports forecasted rains and high wind.
Expectation was that the weekly gov
eminent report would reveal unfavor-
able crop conditions, and besides this
the current receipts were small and
pointed to $4,000 bales. against 10000
last year. Heaviest rains fell at New
Orleans, Montgomery and Corpus
Christi. AS regards Texas, the feeling
frost is sure to nip the plant before ii
blooms at this date, while in sections
east of the Mississippi the rains will
opening. Liverpool was 21a points
higher to-day. The weekly report
proved as poor as expected, and gave
bulls no little comfort. the expectation
being that the market could not fail
to profit by it.
The movement of the new crop thus
far has been decidedly Disappointing
TO big crop believers. 1t has been
several thousand bales behind last
wear thus far. Liverpool to-day quotes
spot cotton at 45sd. against Esd last
wear. and New York quotes middling
