There is another device for accom-

as the circuit breaker. This is a

New York, Nov. 20.-A less conf
dent feeling was shown in the opening
market, mainly because of unsatisfac-
tory Liverpool adVices. Very cold
weather again prevailed over the belt
with rain indicated for most sections.
The feeling continues bullish. Prices
have been advancing better than ex-
pected. 1t may require an easing off
to advance the market again, but
best people see nothing to prevent much
higher prices, in fact, they consider
it merely a question of time. The sur
roundings are too strong to expect any
thing but a bull market. The move
ment is large, it's true but it is agreed
that this represents actual takings
and is the strong feature in the situa-
ton. With New York stocks below
$4,000, it is useless to expect success

every thing points to a smaller yield

Sellers were again confined to too small
a faction, hence anxiety of shorts to

TO convey any idea of the maze into
which operators have been led. Never
in the history of cotton speculation
nave fluctuations been comparable to
those of the week. The tone has shift
ed from strong to weak a dozen times
IN a single day. Prices would move
10 points in one direction, only to run
40 in another. Each days trading OPP
orators were left with shattered nerves
and less settled conviction over the
trend of events than before the day
began. The question has very natur-
ally presented itself: Is this uncer-
talnty due to gradual change in the
cotton situation which the average
buyer fails to recognize, or is it sim
ply an inevitable boil in a market
which is taking breath for another up
ward move?
1t is undoubtedly due to the uncer-
tainty and the number answering yes
TO each question that we have had
such a disturbing week. Whether the
decision be that it is merely a halt or
mat the position is gradually chang
ing, cotton has been sold as a result.
The aftermath of the bull speculation
has taken the cotton and no weakness
shown. But under the tone there could
be detected the note, a warning note
TO holders of cotton over lie. The
NiAOA AlOOS ulON6IlcIil, the nlSn price, the
extensive long interest, the gradually
weakening statistical position resulting
from the big receipts, all these factors
came into play Whatever the ultimate
outcome this year may prove. every
known warning has been sounded for
proht-taking. Nevertheless the ticker
has sounded it's note of warning for
the present. Later on when the at
mosphere has grown clearer and the
trend of the market can be felt dis
tinctiVely the profit-taker can begin
on the long side once more. There is
a general feeling that the fear of a
bullish Washington report on Dec. 8
VIII prevent heavy short selling and
so operate in favor of a steady mar
ket somewhere between 10Ac and INC.
This has been the experience of the
past. Estimate of even 100000 bales
are being circulated and some look for
bureau of not over 10,250,0O0 We
must keep this fact in our minds, and
this explains why the market rebounds
so easily We are not inclined to ad-
wise the purchase of cotton at this
time. At 91ac and 10c we felt and talked
very differently. Now we have the
advance, later on there may be more
of it. At present it looks as though
profit-taking would be part of wis
dom.

what Happens When They "BIow
Out'-NO Cause for Fear or Panic.
From the New York Post.
One often sees a bright fash and a
sudden stop of an electric car. with
all the lights out. This is frequently
described as a more or less serious ac-
cident, and it often causes a panic
among the passengers, especially on
elevated trains. The greatest danger
to passengers, however, is a possible
panic, which might be avoided If it
was generally known how little chance
there is of fire or other danger. The
Electrical Review, to help people to
understand what happens, makes the
following explanation, which should be
plain to lay minds: IF a steam en-
CINE is overloaded it will stop and
refuse to work. although the full pres
sure Of steam may remain upon the
piston, and not cause any damage. On
the other hand a motor when over
loaded, tries its best TO do the work
thrown upon 1t. If 1t cannot run at
full speed it will run at whatever speed
it can. AS the speed decreases the
current through the motor increases,
and the motor adjusts itself 10 that
speed at which the turning effort is
sufficient to cause rotation and do the
work II the effort demanded of the
motor is so great that the current
which passes through it when standing
still is not sufficient to cause rotation,
the motor will, Of course, not turn, but
the current will continue to flow unless
interrupted by a suitable mechanism.
1.-THE current which will flow through
a motor when ii is standing stin Is in
almost all cases far in excess of that
which the motor is designed to carry;
and, indeed, in a well-designed motor
a current dangerous for the motor will
be reached before the motor has been
stalled The effect Of this heavy eur
rent on the motor, If allowed to con-
tinue. is to heat the winding to a dan
