 NEW ORLEANS. Oct. I6.-The cotton mar ket today responded to influences that have all along lain close to the surface, but have been held down by the fear of war in the far east and of financial troubles. Diplomats now say that hostilities in the Orient are averted, al though such may occur at some later day. The feeling fin finances Is decidedly better and the prospects are for easing loan rates. Some stock houses, usually carrying large loans are reported to have anticipated their obligations, even though they were unable to obtain any interest rebates. Spots continue to advance and buyers are receiving instructions to cancel limit orders and buy at the market. Liverpol was decidedly good attributed by private ca bles to buying by Egypt and the continent and Manchester demand for cloths is good with tone to American dry goods. Consols up last year and tomorrow's estimated receipts for New Orleans, Galveston and Houston are below last season. With these influences prom inently before the trade in addition to freex- ing temperatures in Northwest Texas and rains all over that State, a storm in the Gulf and prediction for further unsettled weather there was nothing left for the market to do but advance and while the demand for spots con- tinues good. it will be difficult to cause a de- cline of any consequence. However, the in- creased receipts which will doubt be casioned by the sales recently made, even though causing no actual weight by reason of being through cotton, will no doubt occasion renewed courage on the part of the bears; therefore we believe the correct policy to be to buy on breaks

 NEW YORK. Oct. le.-Hn many respects the week has been one of the most important of the season. Whether due to the comparatively light crop movement or to the tenor of crop news, a decided change of attitude has been noticeable fin almost every direction. Those who were most bearish week or two ago have grown cautious. Those who were still wavering have changed to side of better prices
 Those who before bought moderately have been more active. The effect of this has been to cause sharp advance in prices. the level being full fl cent over the figures reached following the Government report two weeks ago. There has been a decided improvement in the demand from spinners and in some in stances as much as < cent is being paid for spot cotton above the price paid ten days ago. Tn nearly every section of the cotton belt the tenor of news has not been such as to create a large crop. That is a crop larger than the trade requirements. Estimates are gradually being reduced and many do not regard a yield larger than last year as altogether beyond question. Were 1t not for the uncertainty in Wall Street circles and the fear that the re- action in general business will curtail the consumption of cotton, there would be a diff ness would be such as to drive the price to 10 cents very easily. As 1t Is, the Wall Street situation is very important but at the mo- ment it is of secondary and minor importance. The crop news is first and has been sufficiently stimulating to swing shorts into line. Some very heavy short buying has been a feature of the week. The short interest is still large and this may cause higher prices before the end of the month. The local stock Is down to ST. 900 bales and Is being moved out rapidly
 As far as cotton market goes there Is nothing in the situation to encourage short selling through the prospect of a surplus from this years crop From the best that can be learned
 the crop will not furnish much more than the cotton necessary for mills. while the unsatis-
 factory condition uf finances and she declining
 prices of copper, iron and steel tend to make one conservative on an advance of E cent.
 the underlying factor in the cotton situation are in favor of lower prices. It is still the season of plenty when the crop is being mar keted for this reason conservation is the best policy. On a break from this point we would buy moderately and feel that those who buy on declines will be able to get out at profits as cotton is likely to sell higher later on The majority are not in favor of short selling

 NEW YORK. Oct. le.--Cotton futures in the local market today opened firm in tone with first prices at an advance of 7@i6 points. This betterment was the natural result of &C., tive covering. though there a relatively good demand from all sources. The cables were better than looked for and the private advices from the English market were favor able to the bulls The shorts of cold weather and crop statisticians figured that the pIos- poets for the top crop were deteriorating. while the late cotton was maturing very slowly The receipts for the day were expected to prove light. though 47.ooo at the ports turned out to be quite substantial. However, the in- terior movement was rather smaller than looked for in some instances. There were smaller offerings of spot cotton and the de- mand for the actual staple was more gener ously distributed The news on the whole was quite bullishly interpreted. The Liverpool mar ket closed at an advance of li@l2 points. On the better prices in this market there was con- siderable realizing and the advancing tendency was checked. The undertone of the general market however. continued quite firm through. out the day. The operations for the account of the recognized bull clique was larger than on the other days.

NEW YORK.

The forecast was for rain generally and some points reported moisture. more and especially Gal
 weston, where the rain was heavy. The main point was that the movement in the main makes gain as compared with last year
 and this itself is enough to leave bulls mas ters of the situation. The old cry of holding back is generally heard. The holding back is always heard more or less during the sea son and the disposition Is to be governed by what the movement shows. rather than by ex- plantations of how the small figures have been broke Prices were S@l5 points higher

LAST TRIP OF SOLDIER DEAD.
Bodies of Philippines Fighters Started
on Journeys to Graves.

S~A v SA A~SS Q " SA " ~S'
 New York, Sept 15.--Brought back from the Philippines, where they fell fighting for the Stars and Stripes, the bodies of BOP soldiers were un1oade3 from the army transport Fitzpatrick yesterday on the government pier, No 12 East river. Then began the jour neys to their final resting places in various parts of the country. All day long a line of undertakers' wagons car ried away those of the gallant dead who had been claimed by parents or relatives. The unclaimed bodies of many brave fellows were sent by ex press companies to the National ceme- tery in Arlington, Va, or to the Cypress Hills cemetery in Brooklyn. At night fall only half the bodies had been re- moved and another day will be needed to finish the sad work.
 At half-mast waved the flag above the pier shed as the unloading of the bodies began early in the morning. A guard of honor, composed of six men and a non-com missioned officer of the Eighth infantry from Governors s Island. was posted at the entrance to the pier and nobody, even the relatives of the dead men, was permitted to pass. The bodies were piled in long rows the entire length of the pier, re- gar6f1ess of rank
 By far the greater number of the dead were slain in the massacre of the Ninth infantry regiment in BalangigA, on September 2s, 1901. The omfnous words "boloI wounds" were printed upon a little wafer at the end of each coffin. Almost as rapidly as they could be taken from the hold of the trans port the coff1ns were placed in wagons and borne away. For those who were to be buried in Cypress Hills cemetery q firing squad and chaplain were to have come over from Governors s Island. This plan was abandoned, however, when it was found impossible to separate in one day the local dead from those who were to be taken on I journey of many niles.

Chicago Professor Discovers Food
 That ,Wf1i Make Us All Giants. Chicago, Sept 15.-The age of the race of giants is about to be ushered iii again. Henceforth there will be no pignies, for a wonderful food sub stance has been discovered in Chicago that makes men and animals grow tats and large.
 The new food is lecithin. Its quail ties have just been demonstrated by q series of experiments by Dr Shinkishi Hatai, professor of neurology at the University of Chicago. pr Hatai ex- perfmented with white rats, and by feeding them lecithin made them grow 60 per cent faster than they grow or dinarily. This was under conditions of atmosphere and general surround fngs that were unfavorable The scien- tific men say that lecithin will have a similar Feffect on human beings
 Lecithin, according to the definition given by Dr Hatai, lis an organic, hosphorous-c body found in eggs, brain matter and the white cor puscles' of the blood.'
 The professors experiments show that the growth induced by 1ecfthin is normal and healthy. It stimulates all parts of the body exactly alike, thus acting unlike other stfmulants.
