 STOCK MARKET Prices Are Cut to Pieces At the
 Opening BETTER FEELING ENSuES Recovery Is Made Before the Session Proceeds Very Far and the Close Is Steady, With Slightly
 Higher Figures.
BETTER FEELING ENSuES

i, New York. october 1.-The recovery lin stocks today after the spasmodic de- cline just at the opening brought a feeling of relief to the general anxiety in the financial district, which reached a stage of acute alarm in brokers of fees, where the continuance of events Saturday would have run rapidly into disaster. The strain on the market was as severe as it was Saturday, having had the usual after effects in the augmented volume of selling from holders either discouraged by the fall or forced to retire by withdrawal of credits and demands for additional margins from disturbed brokers.
 The break at the closing affected the better sentiment which was growing up. Foreign money centers were as uneasy over the position in New York Rs were observers nearer home. and sent selling orders to market on a large scale. Renewed selling for Rot terdam was made to figure in this item. In some of the less active stocks tn e consequence to prices was serious. In the usual active speculative mediums
 
 the depression from the ouset. Almost Immediately it became apparent that buying orders were in the mark kind. which have been conspicuously lacking for many days past.
 Important banking and financial in- forests were credited with buying stocks on scale which was accepted as a demonstration of confidence and of determination to arrest the decline. The market thereupon lighted itself convulsve1y and established a price level well over that of Saturday.
 The decisive relaxation in the call money market today relieved the un- easiness caused last week by it's sus- tained f1rmness.

Necessity of a Varied Diet.

A mtter of no little importance in main-
 A matter of no little importance in main of diet Appetites soon flag if there is a monotonous sameness in our daily food An unusual delcacy will add to the en- joyment of the whole meal.
 Of course bread is a staple food. No meal Is complete without bread or some other wheat food. We may think we never tire of bread. but try some radical change and see how welcome 1t Is. Try National Biscuit Companys Graham Crackers. The unbolted wheat of which they are made Is not only delicious but stimulates the appetite and the digestion.
 The flavor of the National Biscuit Com pany Graham Crackers Is entirely differ ent from the old coarse kind originally made by pr. Graham. The same progress which experience, skill and study have produced in all the products of this Com pany has made the Graham Cracker not only a health food, but delightful del icacy
 For the indoor worker-the office man the inactive, nothing makes a better lunch than Graham Crackers and milk. Light, but sustaining, without heaViness or sleepiness so often following a hearty lunch of rich foods.
 Keep Graham Crackers on the table as well as bread, and the staff of life can be eaten in either form that particularly ap- peals to the taste.
 National Biscuit Company Graham Crackers come in moisture and dust-proof packages keeping in all their delightful flavor, crispness and freshness.

New Orleans Cotton Market.

New Orleans, October 14.--With nomi- nal market spot cotton was unchanged. Middling, 11%c. Sales were 40 bales on the spot and 3OOO to arrive.
 Futures opened steady 12 to 19 points above the1 close of Saturday as result of heavy frosts throughout large part of the belt. Owing to the lsteness of the crop the effect upon the market was more pronounced than 1t would have been ordi- narily Local labor troubles. affecting the handling of cotton, continues as factor in the market and but for this feature in the local situation there would have been an even greater advance in prices. Dur Ing the afternoon session heavier buying for the long account and rather free covering by shorts brought about another advance. At the close. which was steady, the active months ranged from N to 90 points above the close Saturday: October, high, II 27c; October, low. .08c.

ward and the principal strain of the interior demand for currency might be regarded, it was hoped. as relaxation The force of the denial of E. II. Har- riman of the report on Saturday, which was the principal cause of weakness was better grasped today. Reports from railroad traffic officials from all sec tions of the country reported traffic still pressing upon them in larger vol ume than they could handle and this helped to cure the fright caused by the sudden assertion that the Hartman systems were to Acut down operating forces in order to effect necessary econ omies.
 There remained some disquieting ele~ ments in the situation, which acted as d restraint on the recovery in prices and prompted the reduction of the buy ing orders for stocks as soon as the che to the slump had become effect i've and opened the way to the renewed weakness at the closing. The outpour- ling of the United States Steel stocks late in the day was the deciding factor in carrying prices downward again.
 Bonds were weak, total sales par value, $1 ,S4S,000. United States As reg istered declined 4 per cent on call.
