New Orleans, Jan. S.-Today is
the anniversary of the famous bat
tie Of New Orleans, fought on Jan
uary s, 1915, and will be celebrated
with meeting and banquets by sew
eral local patriotic societies. The
engagement was fought fourteen

tween force of 10000 trained
British troops who had taken part
in the battle OF Waterloo, COM
manded by Sir Edward Pakenham,
and an army of 5000 Americans

half an hour when the English
army fled incontinently, leaving be-
hind them over 1880 dead and
wounded. Military authorities
agree that the battle was one of the
most remarkable in recent times. 1t
Is expected that a movement will

THE STOCK MARKET

New York. Sept. 1s--The stock market today showed clearly enough the disturbing garding the copper trade Until the force of these influences had partially passed, opening the way to the buosant recovery, the market was in turmoil and confusion almost great as during the troubled times in August The stock affected by the disturbances in fact sold lower than they did in August The conspicuous stocks were Amalgamated Copper. Ameri- can Smelling and United States Steel. AS the situation progressed the market gave unmistakable evidence that the liquidation which had been effected was affording re- lief. The railroad stocks showed a mark ed contrast to the extreme weakness of the coppers and mining and metal stocks gen erally, the declines in that portion of the list not reaching wide figures at any time. Selling of copper stocks bore the marks of forced liquidation and 1t was generally sup posed that some heavy loans on the secu- rites were in course of retirement. The usual rurnors of financial embarrassment accompanied the selling of this character and had no little to do with the .uneasiness prevalent. s-
 Sentiment over the significance of the copper situation was not so hopeless as was professed yesterday and there was not lacking a feeling that the course of ac- tion proclaimed yesterday might represent the shortest path to correction of the deadlock in the trade. In the weakness of the copper stocks was aggravated by an- nouncement of a reaction in dividends of two other minor companies engaged in min ing copper.
 Forecasts of the bank statement helped to confirm the growing feeling of conff- dence in the money situation. Large ex- ports of cotton and breadstuffs made lib- eral supply of exchange and keep assur- ance that gold could be secured for import to relieve any real strain of the money market. The vigorous rally which trans formed the market from it's early depres- sion into buoyant strength was not fully held. but the closing tone was steady.
 Bonds were irregular. There were heavy dealings in New York City four and halfs when issued at a further rise of over point Total sales par value sL,49s, 900. United States 2s registered. advanced A per cent and the coupons H per cent. on call.

MARKET FOR COTTON

New York, Sept. 13.-The cotton market continued very nervous and unsettled today with prices reaching a new low point Tor the movement. The close was barely steady at d net decline of three to nine points. Sales for the day were estimated ct ,00o bales.
 The market opened steady at unchans- ed prices to decline of four points on ca bIes which were just about as expected on the active months, but immediately weak ened under a renewal of bear pressure and uauidatton, with heavy stop loss orders in the hands of Wall Street houses caught on the decline.
 Inside of half an hour prices showed net loss of 1e1is points on the active months which made the market about s6 &s s4 points below the high level of the season and within a point of the lowest fig ures touched last July. At this level the market was steadied by covering of shorts and rallied to within three points of last nights close on January during the after noon on the demand from this source and buying for a turn, but became irregular and rather unsettled in the late trading as a result of realizing by some of the early buy ers. Weather reports were considered fav- orable and Southern spot news more or less conflicting, with the markets officially re- porting Ac higher to k lower.
