STOCKS STRONGER
AT HIGHER PRICES

NEW YORK. Sept 1.-THE feature Of
the New York stock market during the
morning hours was the uneasiness of
the large army OF shorts, the advance
OF Americans IN London, the distinct
strength in all high grade railroad
shares, and especially IN the I'm group.
The assurance CT good crops carries
with II an earnest Of excellent earnings.
Moreover, the Dig traders nave come
10 the opinion that the present is the
time for material reaction in good
dividend payers. Close observers de-
tected evidences OF Morgan buying
and the gossip OF the day expressed
the belief that that decision on the part
or the Government not TO investigate
the Hin properties had stihened the
backbone Of Mr.. Hin and also strength
ened the confidence of his friends.
Despite the general good advances Of
the morning there was d conservative
underJone, as II the brokers' were not
fully confident that the rally was TO be
Of long duration. Most of The gossip u
the morning was along this line OF rea-
soning, bat still the buying orders were
numerous, at least ~ to the noon hoUr,
there was no let up.
OIeugLQ IN AuuuSlildlAs
The strength in the industrials was
another good sign OF the day, although
reaction following the covering of
shorts Is not unlikely. Copper and Steel
both acted with more tone, although il
is admitted that Amalgamated Is the
plaything OF the Standard Oil crowd.
The reduction in the output or the Dig
companies by nearly 20 per cent has had
an excellent effect.
The Hill rails led the list in the up
ward movement, but the Gould shares
We're a close second. Immediately fol-
lowing the opening there was a sis ut
recession, but this was recovered and
the market at the noon hour was frac-
tionally under the highest prices Of the

HUGE BEAR is SEEN
IN MILE OF CITY

Another bear was seen a day or
two ago crossing the public road be-
tween Americas and the Goodwin
place, which was said to be very
much larger than the one killed near
the same place a short while ago by
Mr.. Renew. Since the first bear was
killed evidences of the presence of
other bears in the sam locality have
been seen, and it is now known pos
lively thai several of these huge an
mails are in Muckalee swamp above
the city. 1t is proposed to get dogs
that will run a bear track and go on
a regular bear hunt for this hairy
emblem of the cotton exchanges. If
the redoubtable Teddy would only
come by Americas when he thins out
the bears in the Mississippi cane
brakes some genuine sport can be
promised him.

TAFT PUTTING IN
SOME GOOD WORK

TOXIC, October 2.-(Special)-
Every possible courtesy is being ex-
tended to Sect. Taft. The secretary's
speech, reiterating his belief in the
maintenance of peaceful relations be-
tween the United States and Japan
and expressing admiration for the
Japanese, has already done much to
establish him in the warm regard of
the people. His public appearances
have been the signal for enthusiastic
receptions, and it is believed his visit
has done much to remove the i'll
feelings aroused by the school and
immigration incidents.

Americas was ready and waiting for
the lifting of the lid" if such term
might be applied to the bonnet. Hun
dreds of ladies thronged the millin-
cry emporiums, inspecting fall hats
and buying as well, and the milliners
had an excellent trada} The bonnets
exhibited seem a trife larger than
previous crops, with prices about in
proportion, ranging as high at $19.99,
a marked down figure. The accepted
style this season is the battleship
double-turreted type, rounded fore
and aft, with corrugated tunnels and
main deck flower strewn Others of
the monitor type have all the floral
armament amidship, and in action
would probably resemble a decorated
automobile in a flower pageant. If
the weight is in proportion to size,
the underpinning of the wearer needs
be substantial to avoid possible col
lapse in transit. A few carlengths of
ribbon is added for ballast, and the
fall bonnet of 1907 is thus com
plete.

STEf.L DEPENDENT on FOREIGN
DEMAND.

TSe importance of the American
eoftcn manufacturing industry is
grow Ing from year to year, but it will
be Iz2auy long years before the cotton
grow trs can depend upon the do
mestc demand to handle their crop.
Twenty live years ago when the Am
arican cotton crop was 100000 bales,
sfx1~--IIve per cent. of the product
was exported Now that the crop
has almost tripled and is 100000
BALI, the percentage exported is
still about sixty per cent.
The domestic cotton mills have in
creased wonderfully, but so has the
projection OF cotton. 1t has been
estimated that the present cotton
crop will bring $900,O00,0O0 to the
plant Hrs of the Southern States, and
Ghe great part of this will come from
tire cftne1 side of the Atlantic.
I'll nse facts, as is pointed out by
