The National Anthem.

The order has gone forth from the
Navy Department making the ''Star
|Spangfeld Banner" the National
anthem. A Chicago dispatch, dated
Sept. l3, in Cleveland Leader says:
The order went forth from the Navy
Department yesterday. 1t directs
that whenever the anthem Is played
all officers and men shall stand at
attention unless they be engaged on
duty which will not permit them to
do so. 1t is required also that the
same respect shall be observed
toward the national air of any other
country when played in the presence
of Official representatives of such
country.
PUTS AN END TO CONFUSION.
BY this order the United States
Navy is given an Official anthem
which will receive recognition In
every port where the stars and
stripes which Key saw "by the dawn's
early light may hoat. Hitherto the
fleets of other nations have heard

Berlin, Sept. 13.-It is becoming
more and more evident that the
Kaiser intends to reform the German
army into strict temperance or
ganization by abOlishing the sale of
alcoholic beverages at all canteens
Experiments have been made at
different army posts, especially at
Nurnberg, where the canteens during
the last few months have sold moth
ing but tea, coffee and lemonade
without a single protest from the
rank and file.
The issue of brandy and beer as
part of the army ration, will, it is
said. be abolished throughout the
whole empire in the near future.

COTTON GOSSIP.

Liverpool cables were disappointing. but
our market opened at about the previous
nights close. and held well all day, adj
vancing 3 to points. Liverpool evidently
believes. if the census report is correct,
cotton will see higher prices.
Theodore II. Price said: am in receipt
Of a great many Geographic inquiries as
to why /. have changed my opinion in con-
nection to the market. Ny reply is that
in nine cases out of ten an advance Of
l cent pound. such as we have just had
in the cotton market, has always been
followed by decline of at least 1-2 cent
This was the case last year. the year
before and the year before that. The
statistical position In each case was as
strong as 1t now appears.
My second reason is that 8 cent pound
for cotton is above the average of the
past ten years, and that 1t must have a
decided effect on consumption.
My third reason is that the speculation
is exceedingly apathetic in every quarter
of the trade, and there is no immediate
scarcity of cotton any further advance
must depend upon speculative buying,
which, at present, 1t seems impossible to
induce.

OUTLOOK FOR MONEY.

It is said that the rate for time money
was reduced to 1-2 per cent for four to
six months by Chicago institutions. which
placed considerable amounts at that rate.
Bankers admit that the tone of the
money market is easier than they ex-
pected it to be so soon after the turn OF
the year. and with money coming to New
York from the interior in large amounts.
the prospect Is considered good for a
steady TO 5 per cent. rate both at call.
on time. and on commercial paper until
something happens to draw currency
away from New York.
An easier tone is reported in all the
European money markets, and a much
more cheerful view of the situation is
taken everywhere.
