 NEW ORLEANS. Oct. I4.-Notwithstanding early Liverpool advices were hardly up to ex- pectations our market opened 2q3 points lower, but subsequently, the weakness which developed there l-ter. decdlined 6qe points About this time an official prediction of light frost tonight in Central and Eastern Tennessee, Northeastern Mississippi, Northern Alabama, Northwestern Georgia and the noun tain district of North Carolina. was issued being instrumental in checking the easiness prevalent here. The weekly weather report proved to be more favorable than expected, as all the States, with the exception of Ms ssEippi reported improvement in the crop outlook and the prospects for the top crop in Texas are hattering in scattered parts in the northern section. While these features were not encouraging the assumption that the coal strike was practically settled and easier money in New York caused slightly steadier feeling near the close making the net loss only 8 points on the day. Light frost may material ixe in exposed sections of the Atlantic States but there are no indications of killing frost being realized The improvement of the crop outlook throughout the South. indicated by the weekly weather report and the continued apathy shown by spinners are not conducive to occasion any enhancement in values. How ever, the more cheerful feeling in financial circles in New York and the possibility of kill ing frost momentariy making it's app >arance might cause a further advance. After review ing thessituation it looks as if weather condi- tions will regulate the market during the next AWo or three weeks.

Vienna Surgeon to Practice Tenn.

vienna surgeon to Hract1ce rem
 porarily in Chicago.
 Chicago, Oct. 14.-Dr, Adolph Lorenz, Professor of Qrthopedic Surgery in the University of Vienna. who operated suc- cessfully upon Lolita Armour, the young daughter of J. Ogden Armour last Sun day for congenital dislocation of the hip, today appeared before the State Board of Health and secured license to practice his profession in this State. A summons to appear before the Board was served on Dr. Lorsnz this morning and this af- ternoon, in compliance with the request, he appeared before that body and was granted a license.
 The summons arose from the fact that since the operation on the child of MT. Armour. Dr. Lorenz has been beseged with appeals to operate on others atflict- ed with the same disease and the State Board of Health therefore, insisted that the doctor should take out license If he intended to remain here and practice his profession.
 Regarding the action of the Board in issuing the summons, Dr. Egan, the Sec retary of the State Board of Health said before the Vienna physician had ap- piled for the license:
 ''There is no clause in the State law regarding practice merely in consultation cases. pr. Lorenz. as we understand it. came from Vienna to Chicago to operate on the child of MT. Armour in consulta- ton with Dr. Ridlon and there was no objection to that; but now we hear that he means to remain here some time and continue practice This Is different matter, for the medical laws of this State require physicians to get a license to practice in Illinois It is customary for Illinois physicians to go to other States and for physicians in other States to come to Illinois for consultation, but If they continue to practice in other cases they would have to comply with the To- cal law governing the profession. The Board has taken no action beyond requir- ing Dr. Lorenz to appear here and State his intention in regard to the further practice in Illinois. We have no intention to impose any hardship neither do we in tend to make any exception to anybody. All must obey the law"
 How did the Board get its informa- ton in regard to Dr. Lorenz which caused him to appear before the Board?' was asked Dr. Egan.

NEW YORK. Oct. l4-The character of She Liverpool market when New York opened
 was such as to encourage buying. Prices in
 that market much higher than looked
 for. Local shorts were nervous and there was
 generally more disposition to support the mar ket although the Government forecast yester- day of frost in the Southwest was not real ized, the lowest temperature in the cotton belt being AZ to A. Nevertheless the absence of a cold wave offset by the more favor able industrial situation, 1t being regarded as quite certain that settlement of the coal strike could not be long averted since he op- orators were prepared to arbitrate. 1t is point ed out that while the crop has been recovering of late 1t is not susceptible of great improve ment and that the better outlook reported in many sections has led to false tmpre sion of fhe possibility of a heavy crop which could not be made even under the best conditions ali through Winter The enormous exports so long as this is maintained it would ap- near ridiculous to calculate on lower market

NEW YORK, Oct. l4.-The cotton market opened steady with ~rices 4a6 points higher on bullish Liverpool cables and rumors that the coal strike had been settled.
 The English market was up some +q points when rise of only Iq2 points had been ex- pected. The better ruling of the stock mar ket seemed to give color to the strike reports The advance. however, failed signaIly to en- thuse the speculative public and after room shorts had covered the whole market slowly eased of under pressure of long cotton from commission houses and bear selling. z,
 Working against the cables were me weather reports from the entire belt and an improve ment in the private crop reports. There were few orders to buy cotton from the foreign contingent after the call and the South, as a general thing. sent selling orders. The trade was quite certain in its mind that the week South had been favorable to late cotton and when the regular Government report made its appearance at midday it showed quite the conditions expected.
 The scalpng element sold freely on the re- port and forced January of to 8 6l. The rest of the list offered little resistance to selling pressure and while there were slight rallies later in the session profit takins by room traders. the market at best was heavy and favored the bears.
 The close was quiet with prices nrt 24+ points lower.

The latter factors dominated slightly, though . steady undertone prevailed.
