eight years standing which he says
he never owed. The bill reached the
hands of the r. E. Kidd collecting
agency, Mr.. Lyon says. and that con-
Germ proceeded to collect it by civil
process but failed. Then Mr.. Kidd

COTTON MARKET
 CLOSES STRONG Slump At the Opening Is Fol-
 lowed By a Rally
SHORTS HURRY TO COVER
LiVerpool's Weakness Affects the Mar ket In the Early Trading, But Active Buying Carries
 Prices Up Higher.

New York. october 29-The cotton mar ket was very irregular today. After mak- ing new low records at the opening prices rallied on covering and the close was steady at a net advance of points. to a decline of 3 points. Sales were esti- mated al 35a.0o0 bales
 The opening was easy at a decline of to 2o points. with December selling down to 9.95 and January to 973, under llqu- dation and bear pressure, which was pro- noted by weak cables, and continued re- ports of an easier tendency among spot holders in the interior. There was heavy covering al the decline with three or TOUT leading brokers very active buyers, but there was also a good deal of selling, part of which was believed to be for southern account through local wire houses, and these offerings tended to check improvement. The close was at nearly the best point of the day and the highest prices noted were in the last few minutes. The continent was a buyer of late months during the session. It was estimated that some of the leading shorts had covered between 100000 and 150O00 bales during the day. Sentiment as to conditions in local financial circles was some better and if was reported that there was better demand for foreign exchange, which would promise relief in southern banking circles, but advices from New Orleans were hardly encour- aging and while the temperatures were low in the south the season is so far advanced that there is little apprehen- sion of frost
