STOCKS BREAK
BADLY AT
Prompt Rally Follows, How
ever, and Outlook Is
More Cheerful.

~ NEW YORK. Oct. 14.-There was a
nervous and gloomy atmosphere in the
/. neighborhood of the Stock Exchange
before business began today, as fears
were general of the consequences of the
unsupported condition of the stock
,-Harket revealed in Saturdays demoral-
ization slump. Violent breaks in the
opening prices of stocks. therefore,
caused no surprise, but a proicpt rally
disclosing some measures of effec-
tive support brought a quick feeling of
some relief.
Foreign money centres were dis
( iurbed over the position here, and that
feeling was reflected in some heavy
selling Of stocks for foreign account,
which added to the burdens of the New
York market. The Sunday intervals
Rad brought in many selling orders
to brokers Offices from holders fright
ened by the precipitancy of the fall in
prices and from those who did not
respond TO calls for additional margin.
The range of prices on the opening
sales showed very Uneven declines,
some of the most representative stocks
making some show of resistance, while
others fell away weakly.
American Smelling. for instance, opened
at IN advance of a point and the Western
,faiiroad stocks and Amalgamated Copper
were comparatively little affected. On the
other hand United States Steel preferred
dropped IN and 5000 shares of the common
sold simultaneously at 22Ia623is, compared
!. with 235s on Saturday. American Steel
Foundries preferred broke 4, Genera
Electric Sls, American Locomotive and
Central Leather preferred 8, Peoples
Gas 2ia, Atchison and Westing-
house Electric ?. Canadian Pacific, Grca!
Northern Ore certificates, Reading, Erie
first preferred, National Lead and American
Gar 1a to IA.
The rebound was conVulsive and retrieved
some OF these losses at a jump and carried
many stocks we'll over Saturdays closing
"'level, among them American Smelling,
Tennessee Copper. St. Paul, Union Pacific
ssGreat Northern preferred, Northern Pa
.cihc, New York Central. Amalgamated
Copper and Anaconda.

THE COTTON MARKET.

NEW YORK, Oct. IA The cotton mar
ket opened firm at al advance of 14@1S
points on active buying for both long and
short account, which was promoted by the
higher cables and reports of heavy frost
over the eastern belt and in some sections
of the central belt. There was heavy real
izing at the advance and considerable SELL
ing of the later months on the theory that
temperatures had not been low enough TO
do great damage over any important area,
and after the call the market eased off.
During the middle of the morning prices
were about s. to 10 points net higher with
December relatively firm. Business was
quite active during the early session and
the undertone of the market was nervous
and unsettled.
Later III the forenoon private wires from
the South were received reporting greater
damage than suggested by early advices.
and The market firmed up, with December
reaching a new high point for the session
on covering by early sellers and bull sup
port. Just before midday prices reacted
slightly from the best, but were still IL
to 10 points net higher shortly after -
O'Clock.

KILLING A TIGER.
The Fascination of Hunting in an In
dian Jungle.
FINANCIAL.

There is a peculiar fascination about
an indian jungle when one is thus left
entirely alone in it, with no human
being within miles, writes a traveller
who tells how he killed a tiger. shoot
Ing 1t first from a ''machan" in a
tree top in the evening twilight. "All
kinds of animals and birds, deer,
monkeys and p~eacocks, appear and dis
port themselves around one. Toward
dusk the deer and wild pig come down
in large numbers to drink the water
and it is most Interesting to watch
their movements. There is little or no
twilight in India, darkness coming on
suddenly very soon after the sunset.
Just as it was getting dark and l had
almost given up hopes of any luck |
suddenly became aware that a tiger
was afoot. 1t is a peculiar feeling, i'm
possible to describe, but one gets in
st~inctively to know when a tiger is on
the move. the monkeys call in a pc
