election to a second term and that they
are doing this because they cannot con-

New York, Oct. 2.-With September at
an advance of 145 points for the day and
more than 200 in two days, and with news
Of private settlements 100 points higher,
the New York Cotton Exchange yester-
day saw the elimination Of the most sue
cessfully carried out corner in cotton In
the history OF the market. a corner which
made for w. p. Brown of New Orleans,
the leader. at the least calculation, be-
tween $1,000. coo and $4,000. 900 In the Septem-
Der option alone. Yesterday In one hour
cotton rose more than S. a bale because
men who. IN the theory that the corner
would not hold. had sold cotton by the
thousands OF bales were not able to find
It TO make the deliveries they had rom
tracted to make today and had to buy It
Of the man to whom they nae previously

rising to absolutely ruinous figures many
have made settlements within the last two
days at figures q cent a pound above the
market rate.
For the first time In the history OF cot

ket was absolutely cornered II the market
tells the truth The men who have lost In

WEST is NOT HURT.
Chicago Finaneier Says Easts !,
Squeeze Will Not Be Felt Here.

Chicago. Oct. 1.-President Johr
j. Mitchell of the Illinois Trust and
Savings bank declares the western
business situation mistaken by the
panicky conditions In eastern security
markets.
The conditions here" he said, "are
sound. and there is no reason why
business interests out here should be
anxious. Chicago banks are in good
shape, and have ample means with
which to take EAR OF legitimate en-
terprises.
Il do not expect A pinch mt any time.
We have not experienced the usual
pressure from borrowers. The grain
men have taken little money this fall,
and brokerage houses here are carry
ing few loans. This will show that
Chicago and the west hav little in
terest in the stock market. Chicago
banks nave loaned considerable money
in the east on the high rates offered,
but not enough to crowd themselves"
Mr.. Mitchell thinks ~stagnation will
follow cessation of the break in stocks,
and he does not look for great activity
until after the presidential election.

Intelligence Of Birds.


Our Dumb Animals: The following h
from the letters of Lady Mary Boyle, who
was Il witness of the fact and therefore
can be relied upon:
One day, while walking with my mother
lin London) over the bridge, we were at
tracted to a small. poor cottage by the exc
quisite singing OF n thrush. The old cou-
pie who lived in 1t were very poor and
their richest possession was the thrush
which sang outside in a wicker a After
listening for a few moments my mother
asked ii they would be willing to sell the
thrush to her. The bargain was made.
the double of the sum they named was
paid by my mother, who sent a servant
the next morning to claim her purchase.
The cage was placed in a large and cheer
fIi window In u dining room, but not
a sound or d note came from the melan-
choly bird, which dropped and hung its
head as If mourning. We fed, we coaxed,
we whistled, but 1t remained silent, mo-
tionless and moping. My mother felt as
much Indignation as was consistent with
her gentle nature. She was not suspicious,
but 1t looked as If another bird had been
palmed off upon us. She waited several
days, when her patience was exhausted
and she sent for the late owner. The door
opened and my mother advanced to meet
him. but neither of them was allowed to
speak, for no sooner did the old man make
his appearance in the room than the bird
leaped down from its perch, opened it's
wings and broke into SO triumphant a
song of joy that 1t seemed as II the whole
room vibrated with the melody. why, my
pretty lady said the man, approaching
the cage. you know me, don't you?
and the thrush kept Tapping its wings and
moving from side to side. one might al
most say dancing from JOY. There was
10 doubt about 1t: 1t was the same bird
that had charmed us in the lane at VOL
sey. but, like the Hebrew captive, it
could not sing its song in a strange land.
Take 1t back" my mother said. II
would not part such friends for all the
world" and off together went the loving
