States except fair and warmer for North Carolina. Liverpool, however was better than looked for on futures. which probably reflected covering by shorts.
 Nevertheless. there was no activity noted in the spot department, sales only 5000, spinners pursuing hand to mouth policy. The situation. brought on by the restricting of speculation. the weight of receipts now der way. is holding prices down in the ab- sence of outside support. the public not be- ing in the market It was thought that the approaching Bureau day, October 2nd to September 18th. and the Agricultural de- partment's average coondition of crcp will be reported. would have scared the spin ners into buying of cotton in a more liberal fashion but yet. they did not appear to be very much concerned as to whether or not both of the reports be bullish. This was October tender day here. but we have been unable to trace the issuance of cny notices. It will be October tender day in New York tomrrow. and although the recent revision and decline in spots would tend to discour- age the delivery of cotton on contracts in the Northern market there is no telling but that several thousand bales will have bcen rendered by shorts with view of de- pressing the market and redecming their outstanding contracts prior to bureau day and the coming of frost, which most likely Will have made its appearance during the first half of October advices from the Mis- sissippi valley states are to the effect that the yield is disappointingiy light. which Is also the case in Texas.
 The general average of crop estimates Is for a yield for crop of about I2.000. 900 ranging between 11,50o,o0o and 12.5oo. 900. In event of an early killing frost there Is the probability of crop tDtimates being re- duced considerably, owing to iateness of the crop In the Central and Western sections of the belt.
 Last years takings by the world of American cotton were 13,060,000 bales 12.- 69S, 900 of which were actually consumed. If the market declines still further farmers will have their political friends to blame for enacting laws that have placed the spinners in control

CHIcAGO GRAIN ANn PRnnuCE;.

Chicago. Sept. 26.-A sharp advance, in the price of cash wheat at Kansas City and an active export demand caused a strong close to the wheat market today. At the corn was unchanged. oats were sc higher, provisions were 5910c lower.
 The wheat market was weak early in the day because of the $ c decline a. Liverpool Prices rallied slightly soon after the open ing because of an official forecast of rain in the Northwest.

 New Orleans, Sept. 26.-There was no sta bility to todays market, for while. prices opened somewhat higher than the close of yesterday. an easier feeling developed after passing of the first call.
 There was an important drop in the tenn perature in the Memphis district, average 4S and 1t was rather too cold in the South Atlantic States. but there was nc frost of ficially reported further South than Lou iisviIe Ky. Aside of this feature there was no decided change in weather conditions and the forecast for tomorrow Is probably showers and warmer weather in all cotton

lost most of its advance today owing to the failure of frost to appear in any To- cality where damage 10 cotton was prooa- bIe and liquidation by yesterdays buyers The close was steady at a net decline Of 3@t1 points. Sales for the day were esti- mated at 2T5.00o bales.
 The opening was steady at unchange% prices to an advance of four points and durin gthe first few minutes prices were about four to six points net higher on the active months owing to higher prices rom Liverpool than expected and continued re- ports of firmness in the Southern spot mar kets which were said to be selling well above a parity with futures. But the better weather in the belt caused good deal or selling by recent buyers and the market soon weakened under this pressure. which was increased by a renewal of bearish op- erations for the account of local profess sionals and Wall Street.
 Reports from Fall River that spinners were not in the market at the current level and a bearish interpretation of the develop meuts at the spinners' convention at Char lotte yesterday were among the bearisb factors The low level was reached in the late session and the close was only point or two up from the bottom.
 Southern spot markets as officially re- ported were hc higher.
 Receipts at the ports today 32. 4sS bales against 23,1o5 last week and 36,63s last year.

WEATHER CONDITIONS AND CENTRAL

EORECAST.
 locally excessive rain has fallen at Tampa. Fla, and a few widely scattered showers have occurred in the cotton belt, but generally fair weather prevails over the eastern half of the country this morning, under the influence of an extensive area of high barometer central over the middle Ohio valley, the eloudiness has increased in gulf and South Atlantic districts. Temper atures have fallen somewhat in southern and eastern districts, and light frost is re- ported in the mountains of North Carolina. An extensive area of low barometer covers most of the west. with center over New Mexico; it has caused warmer. cloudy weather along the east slope of the Rocky Mountains and northeastward through the upper Lake region, with showers in Missou- ri. Iowa and upper Michigan. Another area of high" moving In over the Pacific coast is giving fair and cooler weather in that region and in Rocky mountain districts. Conditions now favor partly cloudy weather in middle Alabama tonight and Friday, with warmer Friday.

q score of 3 to 2. last Sunday after

gilt edged ball. and there is very
little doubt but what La Junta
would have won the game, or it
would have been a tie. if the um-

Boiling pitched good game. with

and Sanlicy showed the new ram to
the engineers.
They had taken the 566. George Sin
clair's engine. for one head and Burns
407 for the other. Behind these were
Kennedy. with the 31i. and Cameron
with the DOG. The engines were set In
pairs. headed each way and buckled
up like pack mules. over the pilots
and stacks OF the head engines rose
the tremendous plows which were to
tackle the toughest drifts ever record
ed. before or since. on the West End.
The ram was designed to work both
ways. Under the coal each tender was
loaded with pig iron.
The beleaguered passengers on No. ].
sidetracked In the yards, watched the
preparations Sankey was making to
clear the line. Every amateur on the
train had his camera swapping at the
ram. The town, gathered In a single
mob. looked silently on and listened to
the frosty notes Of the skyscrapers as
they went through their preliminary
maneuvers. Just as the final word
was given by Sankey. in chnrge the
sun burst through the feecy clouds.
and a wild cheer followed the ram out
