The Morning News Office,
Friday. Oct. 8.
The government report of the Sep
..-,bsr condition of the cotton crop,
mich was estimated at 5S.3, was a
oou,erful stimulus to the cotton mar
tat and caused a sharp rise in prices.
ne late it has been the inclination
or,ong some of the trade to discount
the governments reports owing to the
hel,ef that they are overdrawn. This
was the feeling when to-day's report
was given out showing little more
than half a crop. which, if true, is
more than the average of the trade
are yet willing to accept.
Cotton futures at New York closed
to 5 points above yesterday, and an
equal rise was reported from New Or
leans. Exporters were fair inquirers
for cotton throughout the day, though
not eager buyers. The demand locally
was fair and some inquiry was re-
ported. In the f. o. b. market the de-
mand was fair, but the country was
decidedly disinclined to sell at s 9-16c
for good middling, the price exporters
we're bidding.
Spirits of turpentine closed firm at
49c with the demand good. Resins
closed firm at the old prices. Resume
of the markets as follows:

Hubbard Bros. q, Co... cotton Letter

New York, Oct. "a nervous and I'M
settled market with quick fluctuations
until after the bureau report was read
when a rapid advance of 10 points en-
sued. The report is quite as bad as the
trade have been expecting and they
would not be sellers until they find
whether the outside public believe it or
not. In the trade it is generally accept
ed that the September weather has
heen favorable, but they were looking
for this bad report and refrained from
selling short. Each merchant can de-
eide for himself whether the conditions
in his state bear out the condition re-
ported by the government. Had the
bureau last year been within shooting
distance of the actual crop the report
to-day would have been received with
more belief. Outside of the report the
heavy rains in Texas should interfere
with the movement.

jumped December 3 points, January 6,
and March 4, from which level they
quickly receded, leaving the net gain
at noon but 1 to points above the
opening figures. Later on the market
took another upward turn, the board
at the close showing net gains of to

New York, Oct 3.-The cotton mar

a battle royal between leading longs

net results showing the bulls holding

H. & Is. Beer Co.'s Cotton Letter.

New orleans, Oct. 3.-Early Liver
pool advices were better than expect
ed, consequently our market opened 80
points higher but subsequently a
decline of 3@6 points was established
on the later easiness in Liverpool and
the desire to realize before the bureau
report was given out. About this
time the bureau report was issued,
making the average condition 5S3 per
cent, against 61.4 last year, and as it
was generally thought it would not be
less than 60, the disappointment caused
an advance of 10@11 points from the
bottom. Realizing occasioned slight
recession near the close, yet the net
gain was 7@S points on the day. The
amount brought into sight during the
week was $4,000 bales, against 1927, 600
last year, and the total marketed to
date is 1,441, 900 bales, against 891. coo
last year. The visible supply Of Amer
lean increased 900 bales during the
week, against an increase of 173, 900
last year, and the total to date is L.
$4,000 bales, against 1,1S5, 900 last year
The bureau report makes the general
average condition during September
5S,3 per cent, gainst 61.4 last year, a
decrease of 81 points or about per
cent. less. On a condition of 614 last
year, and practically the same acreage
the bureau on Dec. 3 last made an esti-
mate of 9,600,000 and the outturn was
about 10,600,000 bales, or 1000, 900 over
its estimate. Therefore, if on a condi-
ton of ola last year, the bureaus es-
innate was 100000, on a condition of
1873, it ought to be per cent. less, in
dicating an estimate of 100000.
However, as we know the yield last
year was 10,600,000 on a condition of
81, consequently on 5S.3 it would point
to crop of 5 per cent. less, or 10,070,-
600, according to the bureau being
about 100000 over the indicated esti-
mate of 100000. In other words, maxi
ing due allowance for exaggeration.
the bureau on the face of the returns
points to crop of only II, 070, 600 These
figures are discredited by large opera
tors, yet the rank and file believe they
are approximately correct. 1t will now
depend on what construction Europe
will place on the report. Nevertheless,
with the frost period fast approaching
and the continuation of heavy damage
ing rains in Texas, coupled to the
worst F&2u ever issue, we continue
to think well of buying on all breaks
and taking profits on strong periods.

A Thrilling Career.
From Parsons Weekly.

From Pearson's Weekly.
After costing the italian government tho
sum of 100000, and the services of FIVE
regiments for nearly two years, Musolino
has at last been caught and Gagged. But,
great as has been the terror inspired by
this famous bandit, his actual power was
small compared with that of several I'M
known to the public. At the age of four
teen, Boris Sarafoff, young Bulgarian at
tackled single-handed the prison in which
his father and grandfather were lying in
chains, after cruel torture at the hands OF
the Turks. He was seized and fiogged al
most to death.
The boy swore to devote his life to re-
venge. He entered the Bulgarian army and
gained name as magnificent cavalry
leader. His bravery and open-handed gen.
crosby made him the idol of the people.
In 1895 he left the regular army and raised
irregular corps, with whom he retired
into the Businesses of the mountains. Since
that time he has headed no fewer than .SS4
raids into Turkish territory. Once he cap
tured the Turkish town of Melnek with no
more than forty men. driving before him
800 Turkish troops. The terror of his name
has penetrated to the sultans palace. and
his secret agents are said to be found in
Constantinope itself. His aim Is to organ
ize an immense rebellion in which all the
Balkan states shall join, as well as Greece.
seize Constantinople and proclaim Chris
tan kingdom of the east. Not only Turkey,
but Austria, Russia and Britain know that
this man holds in his hands the peace OF
Europe.

Old Mans Golf.

From the London Globe.
The sneer that golf is a game only for
those not agile and venturesome enough
for games of greater danger has long ago
faded from golf criticism, and now Ii has
actually come to pass that golf is arraigned
as a game dangerous for men who may be
described as aged" 1t Is said that II a
man all through his life has followed seden-
tary habits, allowing his muscles to become
weak and fiabby, particularly those muscles
in the region of the heart, golf may very
easily prove too severe a strain for his
system. But in the pages of a golf journal
this view is partially criticised by one who
did not begin the game till he was very
near the neighborhood of sixty. He de-
clares that Ii is matter of beginning
gently, and he tells us that in his own case
he does not find two rounds a day parti-
cularly eXhausting. At the same time he
confesses that he has always been an en-
thusiast for outdoor exercise. and is in
clined to think that for a man who has
never taken physical exercise-rather rare
experience-lt may be a little exhausting to
begin with. 1t is all matter of not over
doing 1t at first, but, unfortunately. so at
tractive is the game that the oldest be GIN
ners are tempted to go in for 1t rather
more vigorously than is wise The result
of all this latest pother seems to be that
like everything else in life 1t is wisdom at
the outset to '.go Slow" and this is YER
dict that aged beginners should lay TO
heart.

Automobiles on Railroads.
rom the London Standard.

From the London Standard.
We understand that the Northeastern
Railway Company is about to introduce
the autocar into railway work, with a view
of meeting the competition of electric
trans. The company has ordered some
very powerful petrol cars Of the Napier"
type, to each of which it Is proposed to at
tach one or more "trailers," thus providing
a service of light, frequent trains such as is
required to compete with electric tramway
services. 1t Is not at present announced on
what section of the Northeastern system
the autocar trains are to be used, but it is
possible that the railway authorities intend
to give trial to this method of traction
before finally committing themselves to
policy of electrifcation in their suburban
districts. 1t will be remembered that the
Northeastern company recently invited
tenders for the electrifcation of some thir-
ty-seven miles of their system in the neigh
borhood of Newcastle. but the letting of
the contract for this work has not yet
been announced. The alternative system of
employing autocars propelled by the petro-
leum motor has the advantage of not re-
curing the laying down of third rail,
with It's attendant complications at cross
ings and functions.
