WAS NOT EMPEROR.
Kaiser Did Not Make Ascension in
 AGrmhHn

Berlin, Nov, 10-It was erroneous Iy reported here today that Emperor William had made a successful ascen- sion in the Zeppelin airship this afternoon and evening editors of the local papers carried detailed descrip- tions of the reported flight of His Majesty.
 The explanation of the mistaken re- port is to be found in the fact that the Prince von Furstenberg. who did make an ascension with Count Zep- pelin, was mistaken by the cheering crowds for His Majesty. The Prince has been the Emperors travelling com panion lately and when he made hiS ascension today he was clad In the same style of hunting dress that the Emperor had been wearing
 Emperor William was at Friedrich shafen today and 1t was reported last night, that he purposed making an ascension with the Count. When the Count returned from his short flight with Prince won Fuerstenberg he was met by the Emperor who personally conferred on him the Order of the Black Eagle.

CALM AFTER FURRY DEMAND FOR PRESENT IS ABOUT FIX. HAUsTED. But Farmers Are Stubborn and VIII Not Release Their Held on staple
 Until Prices Go
 Higher.

Mondays little furry in the eottcn world whereby sales of considerable size were &C., compHshed. has its offset In Tuesdays bus meas, when few, if any bales of cotton pass ca hands, between factors and shippers. But the buoyancy which became engender- ed in the furry of business on the first day of the week has not yet subslded, and still neids good to point out the proximity of inevitable better times.
 Practically every cotton man in Montgom- cry is, by nature and by force of environ ment bull, and an optimistic bull at that. ana invariably the men whose 1oFtune hinges on the staple and its fluctuations point upward to the better times when the reJnvenation of business, which all look for now that +poIlticking'' ia over, and real business begun. will bring the price which the farmer covets and which he should gain. in case he can hold out.
 The reason for the dullness of Tuesday, which is even more marked after Monday g nctivity, is that the demand. which was ereated on that day. was practically absvTb- cd by the large offering, and now that .the demand is satisfied there remains the ted tous wait for that demand which will last and which will exhaust the supply. Such 2 demand is coming. 1t is believed, and be- Bore long. zet
 Spot cotton was quoted at 1s-1sc for Eniddiing on Tuesday, but at this figure there were no sales. The farmer wants nine cents. and some want ten, and there is reached The big sales of Monday were made, in the most cases. not by the farmers but by the merchants who had bought street cotton at an expectation of an ad- vance. but who were unwilling to hold long- ar.
