MORE BOOTH STORIES.

Inc SCOry TO the erect tudl me HAL
who killed himself in Enid. Okla,
last January, under the name o. David
E. George, was John Wilkes Booth,
assassin of President Lincoln, will
hardly find many believers. At the
time George killed himself the report
that he was Booth gained wide circn-
lation Since then men have come for
ward with what purport to be verifi-
cations Of the report, but in spite Of
the wealth of detail with which they
clothe their stories, the public will be
10th to believe that John Wilkes Booth
did not die as he was said to have
died nearly forty years ago.
Basil Moxley of Baltimore, Md, who
was doorkeeper at Ford's theatre in
Washington On the night President
Lincoln was assassinatcd by Booth
and for years before and after that
unhappy event, is one Of the believers
in the possibility of the Enid story.
Mr.. Monkey is quoted as saying:
Certainly the body buried in Green
mount was not that of Booth, for |
was one Of the pallbearers and | can
safely say to you that there never
were any two things in this world
which resembled each other less than
that body OF John Wires Booth.

killed, and am confident that he es
capped. but how have never been able
to make up my mind, nor have | any
positive knowledge that he did. YET
the one point that has always caused
me to doubt the various stories OF HI:
death is that if he was killed, why
did not someone receive the immense
reward offered for his capture deat
or alive? You can search all records
in Washington or interview any Offici

In- dustrtal stocks were shown at violent. declines without apparent discrimination just as they were bought during the period of prosperity fin the stock promotion process.

Now, on the contrary, 1t is evident that the speculative public Is paying exag- gerated importance to every suggestion in that direction, while it seems . warrantabie pre- sumption that the investing class Is in slate of disgust which turns them from all consid- eration of the industrial stocks Promotion deals which have been held up in a state of partial consummation with the hope of later completion now regarded as hopeless fall ures. adding to the pans of sacrifice of other

The bonds were somewhat better supported. The list of losses in the industrial department running from 2 to l2 points Is too long to re- capitulate. A number of inactive railroad stocks also suffered severely.

 NEW YORK. Oct I2.-Taken as a whole it was a good trading market throughout though commission houses had only a moderate business. The general temper of the news fin hand at the opening bullish but on view of Wall Street bear pressure and weakness in the spot market. prices opened off 2 3 points. Cold weather over the northern belt and private reports of frost in several Ala bama districts then brought about a sharp rally. The English market seemed quite will- ing to dos better on the least encouragement from this side and number of European buy ing orders appeared. But absence of pulling by the Brown and Suly faction and a bearish attitude of the scalping element later sent the whole list slowly down. The New Orleans market refused to fully respond to our weak ness and soon after noon the South became an influential buyer here. The was caught short and were badly frightened by forecasts for cold, wet weather tonight and tomorrow with frost for Western Texas in the morning The appearance of Suy a supporter of Winter months added to the better feeling in the afternoon. From g. g. the Winter months worked up some points. The West and Wall Street covered shorts private reports of cold rains over Texas. The rally in stocks helped to tone up cotton. but 1t was evident that the cotton trade much displeased with Wall Street in general. The fear of out breaks of hostilities between Russia and Ja- nan was menace to big interests in cotton yet with estimates for much smaller receipts South tomorrow, the war clouds were thor oughly blanizeted. Large export clearances and claims that spots were frmer South helped the late market.

 CHICAGO, Oct. I2.-Unresponsive cables and a bearish Government report caused weakness in wheat today and December closed at loss of %c. December corn was lower. oats were on <. but provisions were firm, the January pro- ducts closing from to i7hc higher.
 The sentiment in the wheat pit was decided Iy favorable to the bears and the news in gen. eral had a depressing influence. Foreign mar kets did not respond to the advance here Sat ,urday and this fact together with the Govern ment crop report issued Saturday. showing larger yield than generally expected, caused lower prices at the start. December being down M9A to A@Nc at 7eE17s. There was little disposition to buy and with outside markets more or less distressed the market here showed signs of demoraiization with trading very spas, modic. After selling at 79% December started downward and with the exception of slight rallies at different times the trend was toward a lower level.

 Corn ruled weak along with wheat and partly on the bearish crop report. There was heavy selling at the outset with provision interests leading. Later the market steadied on fair commission house demand. but toward the end of the session the support was lacking and prices again declined. After selling between 44h and 45%. December closed lc lower at 44%@44K. Receipts, 35i cars. 22 contract.

 NEW YORK. Oct. I2.-Cotton futures in the local market today opened easy in tone with nrst prices unchanged to a decline of points The English market news was disappointing and there was an uneasy feeling with regard to matters in the far East The advices from some sections were to the effect that the ln- certainties in the Orient would have a tendency to materially restrict cotton cloth business, bears that the consumption of cotton would he interfered with. The weather map, however, was considered unfavorable in that the tenn peratures were figured to be too low Reports from various sections of the belt stated that the maturity of late cotton was being inter fered with. There was an increase in the ex- port business. and with arguments favoring larger shipments to Europe shorts became nervous and covered freely. This business checked the declining tendency. though the market quieted down considerably, and the subsequent operations were just about normal in many instances. The movement of cotton was fair. The ports for the week were esti- mated at 325, 900. against 3o5.4I8 last week and 3l4. 52 last year. Port receipts estimated for the day were 540oo, against 56 374

!. B. Baxter 6 Co.'S Cotton Letter.


 NEW YORK. Oct. I2-The weather devel- opments over Sunday were of no special conse- quence. Low temperatures were the rule, but these were all far above the point where dam age was possible. The feeling was somewhat mixed. Bear interests encouraged by hope of war between Russia and Japan and were making the most of 1t. On the other hand, receipts were far from small but were far from what bears calculated on, their ex. pectations of an unprecedented October move ment showing no signs of fuhllment. This makes sellers very careful as does the posi- bility of frost at a nearby day. Crop news continues anything but encouraging to those fairs in Wall Street are too encouraging just now but nevertheless there is enough in the cotton situation satisfactorily to make buying tempting. Wall Street was unsettled and this prompted caution. Frost was predicted in Western Texas and this restricted seiiins Ca bles were 2a6 points lower Receipts were estimated at 54, ooo against 56. 900 last year.
