HALF MILLION BALES SOLD

New York, October 2O.-The cotton mar ket opened firm, unchanged to an ad- vance of points on better cables than expected and covering in anticipation of a bullish weekly weather bureau report at noon. At first trading was quiet, de- mand being checked by the heavy move ment and better weather but the buying became more general later as the esti- mated receipts for tomorrow's leading ports came in showing a decreased volume, The better tone in financial cir cles as reflected in the stock market and the absence of further complications in connection with the Baltimore troubles also encouraged buying, and with only a temporary decline of or points around midday, the market worked steadily up- ward. The close was firm about the best prices of the session, or net 20 to 9 points higher. Sales estimated at bO0OO0 bales.
 The weekly report from New Orleans proved quite a bullish as expected, but exerted no immediate effect on the mar ket, the advance being due chiefly to the smaller prospective movemnt. The wealth CT map reflected generally clear weather but frost in a couple of unimportant To- calities and the forecast was for still more favorable temperatures.

New Commission.

Attorney ]. r. Dooiittle of EaI
Claire is slated Tor the position OF
secretary OF the state forestry comma
sion.
The commission will meet early next
month and at the meeting the vote OF
a majority of the commissioners will
be given Mr.. Doolittle.
This is what is read in the signs, but
John II. Young, a former assembly
man and an old, experienced woods
man, whose home is in the same
city, is also said to lead for the
place.
Although the governor is keeping as
much in the background as possible Il
the contest, it is said Mr.. Doolittle IS
the administration choice for the place.
The active work for Mr.. Doolittle is
being done by Atty.-Gen. Sturdevant,
and it is said that John NJ. DIN, an
other of the commissioners, looks very
favorably on Mr.. Doolittle as a candi-
date.
Ex-Asemblyman Young of Eau Claire
has not given up hope of landing the
place and recently he left Madison,
where he has a capitol clerkship, for
Chippewa Falls, to interview Thomas
Cunningham, a member of the forestry
commission, to see if he could not sc
cure the Chippewa Falls mans sup
port.
Other candidates in the field for the
position are James MCGEE and Fred
erick Ellerman of Milwaukee, Mr..
Newman of Ladysmith, and Ernest
Drunken. who is a forester on the Van
derbilt estate at Asheville, N. c.
Mr.. DOolittle, who is said to be slated
for the place, has been practicing law
at Eau Claire for some time and has
been principal of schools at a number
of places in the state. He is quite
well known in the teaching profession
and is said to have the reputation OF
being a successful teacher.
