COTTON CONTRACTS
IMPROVED A LITTLE
BOuydnCy Shown In Local
Spot Values

For the second successive day cot
ton contracts advanced yesterday. The
sharp gains of December on We'd
nesday at New York were not duplica-
ted, though little was added for
good measure. Value fiuctuated in
narrow limits, getting near the high
est for the day before the session was
concluded. The small scare of the
day before on reports of great
shortage in the Russian crop was
forgotten and the attention of the
trade was directed towards the situa-
ton on this side of the water That
prices held firm despite the favor
able weather prevailing in the belt
spoke we'll well for opinion of the spec
ulative element as to the size of the
crop and the demand therefor Mr.,
Price is dead sure" that it will be
a 100000 bale crop, but as pro-
phet he is a false alarm, so far as
the producers are concerned.
The close at New York was at net
gains for the day of to Z points, with
spots unchanged. New Orleans was
unchanged for October and March,
but and points up for December
and January, as compared with the
previous close.
Liverpool ruled 4 points up for
spots with sales of 5000 bales. The
contracts market was unchanged to
5 points higher for the September
October option. The receipts at ports
we're: Savannah, 1913; Galveston
5000; New Orleans 3,437. The es-
innate for today for Houston is 49,
600 to $4,000 bales and for New Or
leans 2,700 to 1900.
Quotations in the Americas spot
market were on the basis of II 1-8
cents for good middling, the price be-
ing the same as for the day before.
Some sales, however, were made at
slightly better figures, it was said.
The offering stock was cleaned up,
The receipts for the day were 491
bales by wagon.

NEGRO BRANCH FOR
SALVATION ARMY
Project Opposed By Savdn-
nah Officer.

SAVANNAH, GA, October IL
(SpeciaD the question of es-
tablishing a negro branch of the
salvation army, as advocated by Mai.
Berriman, the negative of the propo-
sition is taken by Capt j. P. Savers,
commander of the local post. The
matter will be brought up at a
meeting of the general staff of the
Army to be held in New York in a
few days. Capt. Savers is already
on his way north.
Sentiment among officers in the
South is widely divergent and the
lines are being sharply drawn between
those who favor the innovation and
its opponents, and the discussion OF
the matter promises to be lively. Maj.
Berriman is regarded as the father
of the plan and number of his I'M
der-of1icers believe with him that the
negroes should be accorded a corps
of negro officers in each large Sou
thern city.
The dissenters from the opinion of
Maj. Berriman assert that the time is
not yet ripe for such an added weight
of persons, who through the nature
of the army itself, must be dependent
on the public, already supporting the
white officers. 1t is probable that if
the plan is carried through, Savannah
will be in the second class of cities
to be equipped with negro Salvation
army officers. They, of course, would
have a separate establishments, in the
negro sections of the city.

NEW YORK, October 17.-Once
again Liverpool showed her faith in
cotton by buying everything in sight
at four points advance. Gossip from
Europe was of the most bullish char
acter Money is easy there and spin
ners are taking advantage of the tenn
porary depression to lay in stocks
against the inevitable rainy day
when there will be no cotton for sale
December occupied the center of the
state and trading in this option was
sensational. After opening at 80
selling to %, the option rallied to
80 again. Over the belt the weather
was all the bears would wish for. "In
Creoleville" the strike among the
screwmen and wharf hands has
reached a stage where men are
being shot down. Just now the trade
might be said to be at sea in regard
to the immediate course of the mark
ct. Mr.. Price, the mighty Theodore
added to the gaiety of the nations by
issuing a crop estimate of 100000
and added that he would stake his
reputation on the crop reaching this
figure. Just now the market is a
scalping proposition. On all hard
spots sales appear safe, while on all

TOO EXPENSIVE TO
LIVE IN new YORK
No Place For Family of
Moderate Means.

NEW YORK, October 17.-(SpeciaD
-Spendthrift New York is slowly and
surely driving it's residents to other
quarters to make their homes.
In other words, no one will choose
New York as a permanent dwelling
place who can live in any of the
nearby country places or the smaller
cities within reaching distance of
the worlds greatest market place.
That is all that New York will be in
the future.
For years, of course, the Weather
ones of those CHASING themselves as
New Workers have escaped from the
city for nine months of the year or
more. They have sailed on yachts
and gone to Newport and to Eu-
rope in the summer, have played
golf and polo in the winters, and
only during the opera season and
the horse show has there been any
representative gathering on view. The
motor has made country houselife
pleasant and possible to those able
to afford cars and establishments in
Westchester and in Long Island.
But there is absolutely no place for
the average New Yorker earning
from a thousand to three thousand a
year and supporting his family on
this amount. Living prices, not to
speak of living customs, have taken
on a spendthrift scale of advance,
and this autumn shows an increase
in rents, in market prices, in SER
wants wages, in ice, coal and all the
items that come under the head OF
life's necessities.

BEEHIVE IN STEEPLE
PROFITS CHURCH

BURLINGTON, N. J., October IL
Not only did bees, which have built
an immense hive in the steeple of
First Baptist Church, set an example
of thrift which members will EMU
late in building a new house of wor-
ship, but the busy little workers have
stored up ton or more of fine honey,
it is said, the sale of which will
contribute probably $1,000 or more
toward the proposed edifice. In fact,
the trustees are counting upon the
"bee fund" in the raising of $4,000
needed for the building of new
church, $4,000 of which has al
