COTTON MARKETS.

NEW YORK, Sept 25.-The cotton mar
ket opened firm with prices 3@6 points
higher in sympathy with a strong Liver
pool cables and our reports OF crop dam
age by heavy rains over the central and
portions Of the eastern belt. Shorts and
the local bull crowd bought on the OPEN
ing, but the commission houses seemed
to be abundantly supplied with selling
orders. Following the call the wno7e
list eased off quite sharply under pressure
og public long cotton and a withdrawal
OF clique support The later cables from
Liverpool proved to bo very Disappointing,
and Europe became d large seller here.
New Orleans and the West offered the
winter months quite freely, and the
commission houses continued to sell scat
tering amounts of December, January
and March. The private crop reports
averaged UP bearishly, but more offset
by heavy receipts and easier spot cotton
markets. The investment element was
disturbed by the weakness IN the STOCK
market and fear Of tight money again
All through the late session the market
displayed underlying weakness and prices
continued to settle slowly. January work
ing down to S65 and March to SAB
RumorS that the Wall Street bull combi-
nation were selling out did not aIlay
matters in the open of nervous longs,
even though those stories We're fatly de-
MED by parties in a. position to know.
The market was finally barely steady
with prices net SGl10 points lower Total
sales We're estimated at $4,000 bales, well
distributed through the list. January and
March kept about % points apart ali DAY,

A DRY LAND TERRAPIN
WHO HAS BEEN HERE

i :
LEXINGTON. VA. September 25.-Mr.
Mark Haitian, Of the Kerr's Creek vi
cinity, is authority for the following ter
rapin story: While cleaning UP the old
Haitian burying ground Of brush and bri-
ars, he came across a terrapin. and on
its back We're written the initials IN
L." and 81. L. c." while beneath the
letters stood the date. '1s4." The first
initials stood for Mike Linkswiler. who
died several decades ago. and the other
initials stood for J. L. Chittum, formerly
well known resident OF that community
and who has been dead a quarter OF a
century. These letters and date were
carved hfty-eight years ago. which proves
that the terrapin is long lived.

PRICE STILL BULLlSH ON COT
TON

The price Of cotton futures In New
York has declined about 20 points from
the highest figures touched. The value
Of spot cotton in the South has been but
little affected in consequence. and I
again advise holders of actual cotton
not to be disturbed into sacrificing their
property because the bears have been
able to magnify the Importance OF tight
money in Wall Street SO as to work up
on the fears of a few holders of paper
contracts in New York The facts 1us-
tify much higher prices for cotton and
I am confident as ever that they will
be realized.

A CLOSED INCIDENT
No Further Action as to Restaurador's
Use of the American Flag.
(By Associated Press.)

WASHINGTON. September 25.-It prac-
tically has been decided to regard the
misuse Of the American flag by the Vene-
zuelan warship Restaurador as a closed
incident. The amply apology made by
the Venezuelan Foreign Office, and the
hosting and the saluting Of the AuerI-
can flag. by twenty-one guns is taken
as a sufficient explanation. AS there Is
every reason to believe that there will be
no repetition O fthe offense, the matter
will be allowed to drop out of sight.
Minister Bowen's energetic action in the
matter is approved.

SHOOTING OF ELLIS.
It will be remembered that Ellis. a

house and frightened his wife and chill

The shooting was investigated by the
grand jury on the following day, and no
evidence being offered to contradict
Chewning's, he was exonerated from all
blame.
Chewing. who is of the small farmer

tBy Associated Press.)

NEW YORK, Sept. 25.-The stock mar
ket reflected decided relief from the pro-
cess Of putting the screws on specula-
tive borrowers which has been IN erect
this week. Money rates still ruled nigh,
running up to - per cent. before midday.
Prices ran off at that time 10 q level pe-
tween 1ta2 points under last nlght, hut
the money rate then relaxed and prices
started a slow recovery. IT was apparent
that 10 very plentiful supply OF. tuncS
was available 10 speculative borrowers
for use in rebuying Of stocks. but the
actual loan contraction and consequent
forced liquidation was much lighter. 1t
vas reported also that payments on &C
count of the United States realty meyer
amounting to over sloVD,ctO, were re-
loaned in the stock market and helped TO
break the money rate.
The general understanding that the Sec
rotary of the Treasury was 10 make q

was an argument for the recovery There
was a nomentagy setback after the pun
