SHAKESPEARE'S BIBLE.
Geenvan Version Will be Knocked
Down to the Highest Bidder.

Down to the Highest Bidder.
From the London Telegraph.
A deep interest will attach to the
"Shakespeare's own Bible especially
if experts agree to admit the genuine
ness of either or both the signatures.
There are extant only two or three
signatures of the bard that are UNI
questionably his, and to possess the
Book of Books. with his name, written
by his own hand, would be treasure
indeed. 1t is certain that the Bible to
be offered is not that from which
Shakespeare learned his Scripture
knowledge. 1t was apparently print
ed in 1913, and bears the imprint of
the second edition of King James BIZ
BILE, our authorized version, the first
issue of which was in 1911. In 1911
Shakespeare's dramatic work was
done. 1t is doubtful if anything pro-
ceeded from his pen after that date,
except, perhaps, Henry VIII" which
is only in part his; 1.-THE Tempest"
and "Cymbeline." But, apart from
this consideration, there is now little,
if any, doubt that the Bible of the
poets youth and manhood was the
CSenevan version turned into English
by the Reformers, first Struggled into
this country in 1857, and afterward
freely and widely distributed
1t was translated by Coverdale, Whit
tingham, Gilby, Goodman. Sampson
Cole, and probably by John Knox. Be
ing cheap and specially favored by the
Puritans, no fewer than 100 editions
passed into circulation between 1860
and the Civil War. The Bibles which
Shakespeare might have known were
Coverdale's, the Bishops Wyclif's, Tyn-
dale's, Crammer's, the Rheims New
Testament and the Genevan; but Rev.
Dr. Carter, of Croydon, has proved al

most beyond controversy that the YER
sion he actually knew and referred to
was the Genevan, a view to which the
cautious Halliwell- Phillips inclined
Wherever there is a difference of read
ing it is explained by reference to the
Reformers' version. The fact is not
to be wondered at, for between the
age of and 10, the period of his school
life, William Shakespeare's teacher at
the Stratford Grammar School was
Thomas Hunt, Puritan. DR.. Carter
has cited large number of passages
in confirmation of his views. Thus In
Richard H." Act 4, l, 142, we have:
'The field of Golgotha and dead mems
skulls"
Most of the other versions then ex-
tant gave: "Golgotha, the place of a
skull. "Golgotha, which is the place
of Calvarie;" but the Genevan almost
exactly agreed with the dramatist's
line: "Golgotha, the place of dead
mems skulls"
Othello, in Verse 2. Al, exclaims:
Peace and be STILL"
Differing from all the other issues.
miracle in Mark iv, 80: and sayd
unto the sea. Peace and be STILL"
Again, Shakespeare writes:
Rlchard-Llons make leopards tame
"Norfolk-Yes, but not change his
spots"
The Genevan was the first version
TO use the word leopard in the verse.
Can the blacke Moor change his skin
or the leopard his spots?" Strange to
say, previous versions up to that time
had given for leopard, "cat o. the
mountain"
I have during the past ten years"
writes DR.. Carter studied every line
In the plays in order to trace how far
the Indebtedness (of Shakespeare to
the Bible for his vocabulary extends.
and after careful comparison have
come to the conclusion that the Gene
van was the version he used"

J. 5. BACHE q co.'s
Daily Cotton Letter to Hayward,
Wick 4 Co.

Wick Il Co.
New York, Nov. aside from the
firmness at Liverpool, due. it was re-
ported, to Alexandria buying, there
was little feature to the news this
morning. The weather was not UNI
favorable and receipts promised to be
moderate. Liverpool will be open to-
morrow, while American markets will
all be closed, and the tendency to ad-
vance in the English market natur-
ally made shorts nervous as the
changes which might take place
abroad over the local holiday. The
opening here was a full response to
the cables, or a net advance of to IL
points. Some of the room trade took
this as a signal for short sales on the
theory of a decline after the cables
closed, but there was some demand
from New Orleans and Europe in the
local market and after selling off 2 or
points the market was rallied by
the covering of early sellers and by
the demand that seemed to originate
with lower Wall street One broker
usually working for this interest was
credited with buying $4,000 bales. part
January and part March. This same
broker was good buyer of these OPP
tons toward the close Of last week.
Inc cneeIlui leelnB IN the southern
market Is taken to mean confidence
that no disturbance would follow the
election, no matter how II may result,
was undoubtedly a factor of some i'm
portance in cotton, and the idea that
spinners would buy more freely after
all uncertainties of this kind were out
of the way contributed to the firm
ness of the market. Trading as a
whole was not active and aside from
the operation noted above seemed to
have no significance.

SEA ISLAND COTTON
NEW YORK FUTURES
SHOW GOOD GAINS.

New York, Nov. THE cotton mar
ket opened steady at an advance of
9611 points on the cables than looked
for short sales by some of the room
trade, and Immediately following the
call the prices slipped off a point or
two. But Liverpool continued firm and
sent some buying orders, and the
scalping element soon reversed its po-
sition on the market, which in the aft
ernoon became particularly firm on the
report that lower Wall street was COW
ering shorts and that certain leading
Southern traders were taking on a line
of long contracts through various wire
houses.
The close was very steady at the
best prices of the day, a net advance
of 1906 points. Sales were estimated
at about 10000 bales. a large proper
ton of the business being done in the
last hour. The strength at Liverpool
was attributed to Alexandria buying.
During the afternoon here general
business seemed to be improving
somewhat, with commission houses
reporting larger selling orders as prices
reached 10 cents for the January OPP
ton. The private adVices of a firmer
pectation of a better demand both for
the spinners and for speculative ac-
count after election were probably in
fiuential in causing the demand to COW
er shorts.
Port receipts ran about 5000 bales
under the figures for last year.
