THE COTTON MARKETS.

NEW YORK. September 16.-The cotton
market opened weak. at decline of 16a2J
points, under the influence of weak cables
and the severe break In the New Orleans
market after the local close on Saturday,
which was attributed to liquidation OF
hedges and freer offerings of actual cotton
from the southwest Trading was very &C
tive at the opening here.
The decline caught further stop-loss or
ders. and there was heavy selling. After
selling at IL - for October and Ii. 46 for
January. the demand from shorts checked
the downward movement, and prices rallied
or points from the lowest. but the un-
dertone continued nervous, and fear of spot
weakness was evidently the bearish factor.
Weather reports attracted little attention
and contained no special features.
FutUrt opened weak. september, offered,

After the break TO a net loss of 29a33
points. which was accompanied by rumors
that the concentrated October long inter-
est was Iiquidating, the market steadied on
covering Of shorts, and was several points

RUMOR OF DISMISSAL.
Stated that Superintendent McFar-
land Is to Lose Job In G., P. o.

The report that Superintendent of Manu-
features H. c. Mcfarland of the govern
ment printing office has been requested to
resign from the staff of the public printer
was persstently circulated through the
establishment and uptown today. The rea-
son given for the alleged dismissal of Mr.
Mcfarland was that he did not approve Of
the costly and gilt-edged and complicated
audit system that has been installed by Mr.
Stillings in the Office. 1t was also stated
that he. had the nerve to tell the public
printer so In a recent interview with that
official.
According to a reliable authority Mr.. Nc
Farland was summoned to the fateful
front office several days before he went
off on leave. and-Mr. Stillings is said to
have inquired rather brusquely why it was
he could not get out more press work.
To this Superintendent Mcfarland is re-
ported to have retorted. rather hotly:
''As soon as you get that foolish audit
system out Of the government printing Of
fee we will be able to get out the press
work on time as before the system was
installed"
Mcfarland is also said to have talked
from the shoulder" in telling the public
printer that the system" was q deluson
and a snare, and was retarding public
business.
The interview is said to have been rather
tropical in its nature, and there and then
Mr. Mcfarland was marked for dismissal
1t was added that when his present leave
expires he will not resume his duties at the
esta blishment.
When inquiry was made at the govern
ment printing office this afternoon concern
ing the report, one Of the officials who is
pretty close to the public printer, while
neither denying nor confirming the report
said:
when Mr.. Macfarland was asked about
this matter several days ago he said he did
not know anything about It.
1t therefore would seem that there Is
some truth In the report which was being
generally discussed by the thousands Of
workers in the big printery today.

COURT TAKESNO
FOR AN INJUNCTION AGAINST
EXAMINATIONS.

The court has not taken action in
the application Of J. Stewart Harrison
and Andrew NJ Curry before the District
Supreme Court for a temporary injunction
against the civil service commission to pre-
vent them from holding examinations for
certain positions in the District of Column
bia service. and therefore these examina-
lions are being held today. The exam!na-
lions which are being held today are to
establish an eligible list for the board Of
police and fire surgeons. police and fire de-
partments medical inspectors of the pub
lie schools. physicians to the poor and food
and health INSPECTORS of the health depart
ment.
When asked about the request for this
injunction against the civil service COM
mission and the Commissioners In connec-
ton with the positions. DR.. William G.
Woodward: health officer OF the District.
said that the civil service rules should ap-
ply to such positions as are mentioned
above. He strongly favors civil Service
examinations. and would like to have at all
times an eligible list from which to select
men when vacancies occur In his depart
ment. He believes that such a method Of
appointment tends to uplift the public serv-
ice and furnish men qualified to fill the
positions with credit and In a capable
manner.
Commissioner Macfarland said that these
examinations have proven very beneficial
to the service Of the District, and have re-
moved the possibility of appointing men
upon political pull" and on account of
other preferences. He stated that Con-
gress will be asked at the next session to
enact a law which will make the civil
