HUMAN HEARTS" TO
BE HERE NOV. Is
Advance Man Found q $40
Bill on This Date.

Mr.. Chas. H. Keeshin, advance man
for Human Hearts" was in the
city yesterday in the interests of the
production. which appears here Nov.
10. Mr.. Keeshin says that the cast
this season is unusually good, in
GLIDING e. H. McHugh as the tramp,
in which part he is the original, hav-
ing been in the cast when Hall Reid
made the play famous.
Mr.. Keeshin is a veteran in the
show business. In his possession is
a pass on. the Louisville & Nashville
railroad issued to him in 1869 when
he was managing minstrel troupe
in the South. The pass also permit
ted him TO carry trunk or two
extras.
Aren't you afraid of the 18th for
a show night was asked Mr.. Kee-
shin.
That's my lucky day." he said
with a smile. "On 18th and a Fri
day at that | picked up a $40 bill on
the street in Chicago. That's fact
and no joke.
We've got a bang-up good COM
pany. We play in New Orleans early
in December and its the same COM
pany here which will appear there.

COTTON BOUYANT,
THEN EASED OFF
Trading in Local Market
Limited in Afternoon.

In the early part of the session yes
terday cotton manifested quite a lit
tie strength. Liverpool opened at a
small gain and in response to bullish
news from this side of the water
closed at decidedly higher levels.
The same news-reports of holding in
Texas, frosts, large part of the crop
already marketed and "cinch" that
the ginners report on tomorrow will
be bullish-affected the American
markets.
The opening was to Z points high
er at New Orleans and about the
same amount lower at New York.
Prices took an upward turn very
soon and in a little while the two
markets were running neck and neck,
except that December at New York
still maintained its lead over that
position at New Orleans. Around
the noon hour the tide turned. New
York ran down with some rapidity,
while New Orleans held back. The
high point was made the occasion
of heavy proft-taking, leading to the
suspicion that the rise had something
artificial about it. The slightly cas-
Ter financial conditions following the
arrival of gold had something to do
with the early bouyancy. The close
at eNw York was steady, Is to Is
points net lower for the session. Spot
prices were marked off 10 points,
middling being quoted at II cents
New Orleans closed steady 3 to 4
points below the final for Tuesday
Spot quotations were advanced 1-16
of a cent
Liverpool spots were quoted at
SOB, a loss of points from the day
before, with sales of 5000 bales. Flu
lures opened easy l IL to points
up and closed steady 7 IL TO 10 IL
points above the close for Tuesday
The port receipts for the day were
$4,000, against II, 469 last year. New
Orleans got 1923 bales yesterday
and Savannah 1889. The following
are tOday's estimates: Houston IL
to IL thousand, against 1874 last
year; New Orleans 5000 to $500, last
year 16,441; Galveston II to IA thou
sand, last year 16,808.
In the Americas spot market trad
ing was fairly active during the
morning, sales made in some instan-
ces at an advance of Is of a cent
over quotations of the day before In
the afternoon the slump at New York
had a bad effect, buyers bidding Is
of a cent below quotations. Holders
were firm for better prices, the
market being quoted steady on a
basis of 10 3-8 for good middling, the
same as for the day before. Business
in the afternoon was very small on
account of the difference in views
of the buyers and sellers. The re-
ceipts for the day were 217 bales.

RFVOKES ORDER
AGAINST COCA-COLA
War DeptS'. Order Based
on MiSinfOrmatiOn.

The following order from the war
department revokes the former order
prohibiting the sale of Coca-Cola in
army post exchanges. BY the same
order the government states that no
cocaine or alcohol was found in the
analysis by the agricultural depart
ment.
October 90, 1907.
The Commanding General, Philippine
Division, Manila, Philippine Is
lands;
Sir-The manufacturers of the bev-
erage known and sold as Coca-Cola
having appealed to the secretary of
war to revoke the instructions issued
by the war department on June II,
1907, directing that the sale of Coca
Cola by army post exchanges be dis
continued and the papers in the case
including a report by the chief of the
bureau of chemistry agricultural de-
partment, as to the composition of the
beverage, having been referred to the
judge advocate general of the army,
that officer has reported as follows:
October 2S, 1907.
Fourth Endorsement, War Department
Office of the Judge Advocate Gem
eral, Washington, d. G.
The sale of the syrup or beverage
known as Coca-Cola was prohibited
upon the representation that it con-
tanned per cent of alcohol, inciden-
tally the presence of other harmful
ingredients, in small quantities was
reported, but the prohibition was
largely based upon the presence of
alcohol in the quantity above noted.
The substance has been submitted
to and examined by the chief of the
Bureau of Chemistry of the Agricul-
tural Department, from whose report
it appears that the beverage con-
tains no appreciable quantity of alco-
hol 1t also contains no cocaine, and
but a small quantity of caffeine. The
result of the investigation has there
fore been to show that the original
order of exclusion was based upon
data in respect to the presence of
alcohol which, upon a thorough chem
ical examination, are found not to
exist to the extent supposed when
the matter was first submitted to the
secretary of war for administrative
action. AS the legal reason for the
establishment and enforcement of the
prohibiting no longer axists, it is
recommended, that the order of ex-
clusion be revoked
GEORGE b. DAVIS,
The acting secretary of war con-
curing in the views of the judge
advocate general of the army, directs
that any instructions heretofore given
prohibiting the sale of Coca-Cola at
army post exchanges be revoked. Very
respectfully, f. A. AINSWORTH,
The Adiutant General

ROOT OF EVIL LIES
IN STOCK EXCHANGE

NEW YORK, Nov 6.-(SpeciaD -
Former Judge A. J. Dittenhoefer, of
this city offering a remedy for the re-
cent financial stress which the coun-
try has weathered makes the re-
markable declaration that recur-
renee of the trouble can be prevented
only by abolishing the stock ticker
He says:
The root of the evil lies in the
stock exchange ticker. Eradicate the
root and to a large extent the evil will
be eliminated Every day of the year
the ticker is made to spread broad
cast false and fictitious quotations of
the value of the corporate securities
held by the high tinanciers' to enable
them to unload on the outside public.
They make fake sales, which are run
off on the ticker as genuine, and the
public, believing that the sales have
been actually made, are fooled into
purchasing them at the ticker prices.
when the financiers have unload
ed a sufficient quantity the prices are
depressed by them in the same man
ner, to the great loss of the persons
who bought them at the fictitious
ticker prices, and then the financiers
buy them back and unload them
again, and so the endless chain is
kept up. 1t is a regular bunco
game.
Make it felony to be party di-
rectly or indirectly to the spreading
over the ticker of such counterfeit
transactions, and a stop will be put
to such uncomfortable watering OF
securities as has taken place within
the last few years"

NEW YORK, Nov 6.-British bulls
beloved softly this morning. The
great consuming market was inactive
and dull in the extreme. Soon the
crowd from this side flooded the
foreigner with news Of exhaustion,
boil weevil and other misleading dope
and values there went up like a rocket
at Christmas time. Their joy, how
ever was short lived and values be-
gan to sink as son as Liverpool clos
ed The attention of the trade is now
centralized on Fridays ginners, which
will compare with CAST 600 last year
or SO per cent OF the total crop.
These figures will have direct bear
ing on the final outturn. On all hard
spots Southern operators flood the
New York market with selling or
ders and as long as the market re-
mains in so helpless a condition no
permanent advance can be sustained.
II is idle and foolish to attempt to
bull cotton in the face of the fact
that all Southern banks have been
forced to issue scrip. We continue
to advise our friends to- buy cotton
only on spots that might be describ-
ed as the bottom.
