OF INTEREST TO INVESTORS

crease of $1.OOO.OO0 overnight. an in
cident without recent parallel in cotton
trade experience. The question for the
shorts is whether or not they will set
tie. and the question for the bulls is
how far it is policy to press their ad-
vantage, under penalty of carrying I'M
sold stocks over into the cheaper
months. The significance to the stock
market is the close approach of the
time when cotton must be cheaper, 70
the Imminent relief of the money and ex-
change markets.
The question of the moment is not
what are things worth, but whether
liquidation or artificial support will
prevail. And this question is presented
to market already jaded and no longer
subject TO illusions. Artificial support
no longer impresses those who have
thrived upon their judgment of the price
situation, which has stood them in bet
ter stead than the judgment of others
upon values. whether or not the latter
have been correct.

NEW YORK COTTON MARKET.

NEW YORK. Oct IA sharp advance
in the market at Liverpool. due to
covering of shorts, occasioned an ac-
tive and higher opening all around IN
this market. Bull leaders gave good
support to January. However. there was
considerable proft-taking on the bulge.
which checked the advancing tendency
somewhat after the call. Spinners
bought October. With the September
deal out of the way. an increased com
mission house trade was noticeable. Ii
appears as though the public is con-
fdent of a bullish condition statement

Saturday. The receipts at the Poft3, 1t

OFFICERS FEAR NO INQUIRY
INTO LYNCHING OF NEGRO.
Talk of Special Session of Illinois
Legislature Does Not Disturb
Sheriff and state Attorney.

Neither Sheriff Wash Thompson nor State
Attorney James A. Farmer Is worried over
the effort being made at Springfield TO call
a special session of the Legislature TO i'm
peach them because of the lynching of the
negro, d. II. Wyatt. at Belleville. two
weeks ago last Saturday.
The officials of the county believe that
they have and are doing their duty in this
as in all other cases brought to their atten-
ton.
Sheriff Thompson was not in Bellev!ile
during the day of the shooting and the
lynching. He believes from the report the
assistants made that they die the best they
could to defend the jail without causing the
loss of human life.
State Attorney Farmer is taking the same
