TURN THE PoTTER's WHEEL.
New In ustry In which Women Have
Earned for Themselves High
Standing.

There appears to be no end to the
avenues in which the women Of TO-
day find scope for their energies and
activities. Pottery making il the
latest industry in which they have
made their mark. The famous Rock
wood works were started by woman.
and many women are now turning
their attention to the possibilities of
the wheel, combined with deft fingers
and delicate fancy, in the manipulation
and designing of clay, says the Chi
cago Chronicle.
All over the country women are be-
coming interested in pottery-making.
Glasses are being formed and find en-
thusiastic students ready to join them.
Several classes are already in opera
tion in Brooklyn and are giving time
to the acquisition Of this practical art.
A local artist who is member Of one
of these pottery classes says: =
"The work is and will be for some
time to come crude and imperfect, but
there is so much enthusiasm manifested
and promise Of good work to come that
the outlook is very promising. 1t is
proposed to have courses in pottery
connected with china painting socie-
ties. This will be great step in the
right direction. for the china painters
will not be dependent on conventional
shapes in pottery and the necessity Of
the same design being used over and
over again, but each woman can de-
sign and model her own pieces and
thus give opportunity for the introduc-
ton Of original types"
How Early sIeds Were Made,
From history we learn that the boys
in the time of George Ill. coasted on
sleds made of small board with beef
bones as runners, but these dropped
out of sight when an inventive genius
built one out of barrel stave, for his
invention was extensively copied.
The barrel slaves were called Jump
ers" and shippers" and were made
of a single barrel stave of moderate
width to which was nailed a 12-inch
seat-post about midships. A piece Of
barrel head constituted the seat. To
navigate this craft required no little
skill, the revolutions and convolutions
performed by the rider while "gettin'
the hang of the derned old thing" be-
ing akin to the antics of tendefoot
on a bucking broncho. A more stable
and docile jumper was made by fas-
tening two or three slaves side by side,
but these were not considered as fast
travellers as the single staves.--Out-

[By Private Leased Wire.


 NEW YORK, Oct. l4.-Cotton futures in the local market opened steady in tone today with first prices at advance of points to a decline of equal proportions. The betterments in some portions of the list was the result of better English market news than had been looked for. the Liverpool prices being relatively strong However there wasS some liquidation. such action being prompted by improved cl- matic conditions and better crop accounts in consequence. No frosts were reported in the belt, but as the day wore on the market be- came rather quiet and the fluctuations generally were along moderate lines There was lot of conflicting talk regarding the market position of the various clique interests, but 1t was generally conceded that the New Orleans crowd still holds lot of the nearby options on the long side of the account. So far the interior movement has been rather under that of last year. but the port movement has continued quite nberSl The port receipts for the day were figured at 45 900. against 44.55l last week and 57.7oo last year For the week the port receipts were estimated at 325. 900 bales. against 3o5, 400 last week and 3I4,7 700 last year. At Houston today there were some A., GOO. against 20. 900 last year. There was only a moderate demand for spot cotton. and the of- ferings were small. Prices at leading points were practically unchanged The advices re- garding the cotton goods market were without feature.

MARKETS FOR FUTURES OPENED STEADY AT A SMALL
 ADVANCE. Receipts Running Behind Last Year and Reports From the South Causing an Advancing
 Tendency.

2 NEW YORK. Oct l4-The cotton market opened steady at advance of points to a decline of points, the gains being due to the high cables and reports of better demand rom spinning interests abroad, while the de- cfines were under realizing a result of bet Ter weather than expected. No frosts were ported and while temperatures in northern sections of the belt were still rather low for the best development of cotton, the forecast called for warmer weather. For a time the
 market ruled very quiet showing little change rom the opening prices, but with the receipts running behind last years and private reports being received from the South telling of frmer spot markets. an advancing tendency soon be- came apparent and trading turned more active. There was considerable covering by recent sellers on the advance and there seemed also to be a better demand from outside sources at- tracted by the predictions of a better demand Tor consumption and encouraged by the more peacefai aspect of the far eastern troubles The market after reaching level net l09 | 2 points higher on the active months eased on by realizing, however and profits afforded the room longs by the advances of the day in connection with those of yesterday proving at tractive, while there was also some selling on the reaction theory. The market was finally

IS a general tendency towards reduced crop estimates. The English bear relies more es- pecialiy on the financial situation politics and prospects Of bad trade, coupled with the re- sistanSe or spinner and for these reasons has utte raith in higher prices. With such factors U would DC practically impossible to prevent decline were it not for the unusual environ ments and to our mind the bull arRllments in the long run far outweigh those of bear who appears to be doomed to a defehsIve fight this season. It is true that trade in dry goods is stow and that Fall River is depressed with manofacturers naturally anxious but they feel Una. trade during the next two weeks will snow some Improvement. The producer appears 70 pc realizing the natural strength of his po- sltion and the light receipts and small stocks at the interior towns Is causing uneasiness among exporters. Spots continue to harden With middling cotton officially quoted in this market today at 9h and with the financial sit- uation cleared. bull market would even this early in the season be in full swing However
 with advancing spots 1t will be difficult to de. press the market and should the large short interest become alarmed and start covering. sharp advance is not unlikely We consider
 therefore. that the safest course to pursue Is to buy on breaks. realizing on strong periods

 NEW YORK. Oct. I4.-The feature of the day in the cotton market covering of large short interests. these bears having held out during yesterdays rise in expectation of a sharp reaction today. The market also had strong bull support with Sully directing the substantial buyers of the Winter and March options presumably for hedging purposes. While there were reactionary movements from time to time during the day the general tone of the market was very steady. Early cables from Liverpol were about in keeping with our rise of yesterday and the weather presented no startling climatic changes the belt, But bull factors of no mean order were light estimates for tomorrow's receipts at leading points and a frmer spot cotton market in the South. Claims that trade in dry goods mar kets was picking up and that spinners were asking higher prices for forward delivery cloths and yarns helped to steady the mar ket. In the afternoon the whole list settled back under lull in covering demand and a withdrawal of bull support Nevertheless. it was seen that conservative operators were buying cotton for an improvement later and that most of the cotton sold was for the ac- count of room longs Wall Street bear inter ests sold on the late decline and there indications that rom scalpers were going short. The gist of Southern news clearly indicated that the crop was in DOT shape and the aver age Of crop estimates pointed to yield of not moveemnt said be due in part to an unW'illingness of holders to sell at current prices and to lateness of crop.

 NEW ORLEANS. Oct. i4.-Notwithstanding Liverpool was encouraging, our market opened practically unchanged and was somewhat easier shortly after. This. however, was only tenn porary because cables from Europe were gen. erally bullish and as receipts were light and the demand for spots good at higher prices an advance of i20I3 from the bottom was quickly established Later in the session a rumor of large New oYrk stock firms fail- ure and the absence of fresh buying ocasioned decline of 76S from the top. At the time the Government prediction of storm in the West Indies arrested the decline and caused steadier feeling, making tho net gain BOA points on the day. The moderate receipts in the interior favor the idea of small crop consequently cables from Liverpool say that crop estimates being reduced It is also claimed by some there that Manchester is more active and larger business is being done, which is expected to force spinners to buy free iy for the immediate present. It seems sen- timent Is changing in Liverpool in consequence today were of optimistic character In addition to these views there is a decided i'm provement in the demand for spots throughout the South for October shipment. which has en ar yplues. As an offset to these arIous factor. in f. 'nr If ,.ttsn re-

Trading was dull the early part of the session and prices fiuctuated within a narrow range. The tendency was toward lower level, however, influenced by the smaller de- mand for cash and the lower prices at Minne- apolis Later fair rally ocurred on buying by traders who had sold short early. which sent December up to 79h. slight rally at Minneapolis and stronger market at St. Louis causes for the covering During the last hour there was selling on the advance credited to prominent bull operator and in the absence of support the market again weakened.

NEW YORK, Oct. i4.-Liverpool sent good advces this morning and this with the better prospect for solution of the Russia Japan troubles produced better feeling in the cot con market As regards the weather. there was no sign of frost, comparatively high tenn peratures and absence of moisture being the rule. The receipts. however. continue to run so light that 1t Is foolhardy business to be short of the market The receipts, however continue to run light that 1t is a fool hardy business to be short of the market The best operators of conservative tendency are being guided almost wholly by the movement regardless of what occurs in Wall Street or elsewhere. Part of October has gone and re- ceipts are way below predictions It Is only natural that sellers should hold aloof and euy- CTS feel encouraged. The fact that the interior semi weekly moTement gained only 1000 for the week and lost 42,0oo as compared with last year shows what may be expected in the matter of receipts. Today interior receipts were also light and Houston estimate for to- morrow far below last years figures After early hesitation the market moved up on shorts covering and outside buying on the stronger surroundings. Spot cotton is in better demand in the South. Final cables were 7@9 points higher. The Manchester markets show more inquiry for cloths.
