and there is dense and valuable for est is found, composed of ash, oak. hick- ory, cypress. gum and cottonwood.
 The opportunity which the bureau of forestry finds is this: On the narrow strip inside the leyees cottonwood can be grown with almost no care and har- vested when the trees are from 8 to 40 years old. This wood now has a recog- nized place in the market for the man ufacture of boxes, for furniture backs. washboards. etc One company alone uses 60.000.000 board feet a year for mak- ing washboards.
 Behind the leyees much of the land will undoubtedly be reclaimed for agri- culture. but until that shall be done the opportunity to maintain a forest of val uable trees is too good to be lost In this forest white ash is the most important species. both because it grows more rapidly than oak and some other woods. and because it is in constant demand and can be used in small sizes The ash has been pretty well cut out of this for est. even 10 trees as small as six inches in diameter. This is vasteful. and the bureau recommends the application of more conservative lumbering to these lands. This simply means that the ma ture trees of all species shall be logged carefully. and that in taking them out the young. immature trees. especially those of ash and hickory. of which there is also small quantity. shall be care fully preserved and Jeff to grow until they reach nerchsntsbIe sine. or a di- aneter of about 9 inches If this Is done. the owners of the land can count or second crop of valuable timber be- fore the land may be required for farm ing

Nichols thought he saw all opportunity to score and started home, but Captain Arthur Nichols didn't see any chance for him to get there and turned him back.

HARTFORD WON GAME

Hartford, July 20.-There was just enough let-up in yesterdays afternoon downpour to enable Manager Kennedy to place his team on an equal footing with that of Manager O'Neilrs so far as the series between their respective warriors are concerned. It is now six all. The contest lasted only five in. nings, but thanks to Cy Alillers lustr fling beyond the reach of Brother Dil. lon. the tally sheet showed the home club just one to the good. There was plenty of fast fielding on both sides, and neither can ever be accused of be- ing afraid of the wet. The score:

 Jacques [.
THELMA.

One of the most forcible proofs Of
 the popularity of the presentations be-
 ing made by the Poli summer stock
 company at the Jacques is the fact
 that notwithstanding the almost un- bearable heat of the present week the
 performances of 'Thelma" have been patronized to the capacity of the house. Even the terrors of getting dressed for the theater these stihing afternoons are powerless to prevent
 people from enjoying themselves in the best possible manner for the smallest possible sum. While the drawing
 power is essentially the superior qual-
 ity of the productions it is aided In no little degree by the coolness which percades the playhouse which. few thought could be made even passably pleasant during the summer There is always breeze at the Jacques no mat ter how sultry it may be outside and the biz fans keep. the interior of the building filled with fresh cool air. Then too each seat is provided with large palm leaf fan which creates a zephyr for the individuals not direct ly affected by the other cooling appara, tuS. The play itself by reason of the fact that it is laid in the frozen north produces certain mental atmosphere of frigidity which incidentally helps to relieve the discomforts of the themome- ter at 90 in the shade. Next week the favorite East Lynne will be the at, traction and it is safe to predict an enormous business for this ever young drama. Prices are 10. 20 and 30 cents; afternoons 10 and 20 cents, ladies 10.

NEW YORK, September 30.-The gen.
eral expectation that today's bank state
ment would make very weak showing
had little effect upon the stock market
which, while dull. firm in all quarters.
with very striking advances shown In
number of particular stocks. In the rail-
way list the Reading issues were conspicu
Gus. with a noteworthy advance scored In
the first preferred stock. The upward
movement in these issues was commonly
assumed to foreshadow an announcement
that the second preferred stock would be
exchanged for the first preferred and the
common. as provided in the plan of
reorganization. Notwithstanding the denials
to the contrary. The local traction issues
were decidedly firm also, with quite a spir-
tied rise in Metropolitan Street Railway.
The industrial and miscellaneous issues
showed long line of extensive advances,
conspicuous features there being Interna-
tional Paper. Railway Steel Spring and
Consolidated Gas The United States Steel
securities likewise showed decided strength
and animation Aside from the Reading
issues, price movements in the railway list
were not particularly extensive. although
the dealings there We're characterized by
steady tone Little was done here for for
on both the London and the local stock ex-
changes was restricted to some extent by
reason of the Jewish holiday The London
stock market. however, had q generally
heavy tone, chiefly because OF additional
gold Withdrawals from the Bank of Eng
land, and the expectations there that the
gold arriving in the open market next week
would be taken for New York account.
AS usual on Saturday, little was done in
the money market rates for call loans being
nominally quoted at per cent Sterling
exchange was steady. There was an utter
absence of real news relating to one secur-
ity or another. and observers of the dealings
remarked that the absence of genuine pres
sure was. in all the circumstances of the sit
uation. the most striking feature of the
market.
The bank statement made one of those in
applicable exhibits which, while by no means
uncommon, do not tend to add to the repute
which is accorded to that weekly document
Practically all of the preliminary estimates
had pointed to loss in actual cash ranging
from $5,OO0OO0 to more than $4,000, 600. The
bank statement. on the contrary showed an
Increase in actual cash of over 81 500. 600
The loan account was still further curtailed
the decrease in that item this week amount
ing to S4,Sl0O0O. Together with the change
In the cash item this was reflected in de-
crease in. deposits of 81, 1870 COO and accord
fngfy surplus reserves rose 81 20i. 600 The
banks now hold 81 $4,000 in excess of the
lawful requirements, against $40, 9l3, 900

S31,oo0 in 1903 and 81. $40, 900 in 1902 The
curtailment in the banks loan account since
the first week of the month now amounts to

Bank Statement.
SURPLUS OVER 1000, 900.
Government Receipts and Expenditure
in September.

For the month of September. closed today,
the total receipts of the government were
$50, 251 ,15S and the total expenditures, &1.-
359, COO showing surplus for the month of
50, S92, 1873. For the same month of the last
fiscal year the total receipts were SAG, 344.-
$685. and the expenditures $40, 44S,O00. a sur
plus of 1886 6S3. The expenditures this
month were considerably in excess Of the
same month last year, but the receipts
have been, as seen, much heavier. There
has been a formidable Increase in receipts
from customs ever since the beginning of
the present fiscal year. The total receipts
for this month from that source were ST.
pa. 146. against s23, 230, 800 last year, an In
crease, In round numbers, of 4.000 900.
The customs receipts in the month just
closed were the largest for that month In
the history of the government. The inter-
nal revenue receipts this month were 49,
797. $50. as compared with $19, 941 1913 year
ago. From miscellaneous sources the total
was s.. 209, 1882, compared with So, 173 199
Should the country continue to buy heav-
lily of dutiable goods from abroad the opin-
ion is that the deficit for this fiscal year
will not be as large as the last fiscal year,
despite certain increase in expenditures
over the last year.
The total receipts so far this fiscal year
have been $147.014. 724. as compared with
$13S. OBJ. 1852 for the same month last year.
The expenditures have been $l58, 63S go as
compared with $155. 688. 719.

The World Of
Finance and Trade
NEW YORK COTTON
MARKET OPENED STEADY THIS
MORNING.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, September 30.-Foilowing
the sharp break in. the market at the close
yesterday Liverpool came the equivalent
of about Is points lower this morning. The
decline carried the market abroad below
the local level. but the market here OPEN
ed steady at about the closing level of last
night. and during the early trading the
tendency seemed to be toward an improve
ment. The selling during the morning was
in the form of scattered liquidation and
this was not on the same scale that car
ried the market off so rapidly yesterday
From 1857 January rallied to 1913 and the
tone of the market seemed less weak. In
general there was not the outside demand
necessary to change the hating and irreg-
ular character of the market. On the re-
covery of the five or six points the covering
demand seemed to fall off and the tone be-
came unsettled again.
This was due to the fact that crop re-
ports continue to show unsatisfactory
yields, but the average conditions coming
in from various crop authorities are not
such as would confirm low estimates. The
condition by a local journal this morning
of over sixty-nine was rather surprise
to many, as the figures were about points
better than had been looked for A condi-
ton of sixty-rine or over from Washing
the cotton market, and In view of this fact
and the decline given by other authorities
being less than the September average,
there was some pressure to sell on the
early advance The market Is generally
known to be a long market on the poor
crop reports coming in.
With the large stock of cotton here in
New York and more coming. the bull crowd
has its hands full without adding to It's
lines. Their feeling is uppermost in many
minds at the present time and until after
the Washington report and the census re-
turns on the cotton ginned, there Is ex-
pected to be more or less uncertainty in
the minds of the trade.
After January lead advanced to 10 73 from
1867 the recovery was lost and later on
the early low prices were reached. There
was some buying for spinners and for the
south. but in general the market lacked
vigorous support and this showed in the
lack of snap shown by the early market.
Receipts liberal for the average sea-
son. but higher than last year at this time.
According to the Chronicle the worlds
visible supply of cotton Is now 2, 134 900
bales against 1.295.O00 bales last year. and
$4,000 bales two years ago. Exports for
the week amounted to Isl, 900 bales, against
100000 bales last year. The amount in
sight this week was ,241 900 bales, against
1313,OO0 bales last year and 902. 900 bales
two years ago

Convicted of False Pretenses.

William +, Mills was found guilty In the
Police Court this morning of obtaining
property under false pretenses, and he was
sent to the District jail for the next six
months. The matter was investigated by
Precinct Detective Brown of the seventh
precinct after complaint had been made

Elizabeth Dunn. but his work was COM
pleted and he left about the middle of Sep

received part of the order from Clayton
Wise, who works In the store. 1t was
found afterward that the order was not
from Elizabeth Dunn and that the repre-
sentations of Mills were false.
The defendant had nothing to say In
