Hubbard Bros. q. Co.'S Letter.

New York, October 4.-(special.) lin
anticipation of an unfavorable bureau
report the morning hours brought an
advancing market, largely on the cover
ing of some local interest When the re-
port was issued showing a condition of
$50 selling movement set in to take
profits, closing the market at about the
same prices as last evening. This selling
came from the south against cotton on
hand and from some of the long inter
ests in the north, due to a natural de-
sire to secure profits. AS the market has
declined after each bureau report since
July, only to rise later, the theory being
that the pressure to sell by the planter
at these prices will so increase the move
ment that the market will sag, regardless
of the ultimate yield. There is nothing
in these ideas but they command at
tention as an argument to prove the
crop is larger than indicated by this very
low condition report, which indicates a
crop disaster in Mississippi and the Sec
ton west of the Mississippi river.

Real Morocco Leather.

One of the industries Of Messina was
the expectation Of sumac, the DOW
dered leaf Of the sumac plant, the
finest varieties of which grow in Sici-
~. This is used In tanning goatskins,
and sumac gives a clear white tan
mage, unaffected by the action of light
and therefore suitable for dyeing into
colors where permanence of shade is
desired. A genuine morocco is
goatskin tanned with pure sumac,
but there are many upholsterers who
could not give this definition offhand
Goatskins dyed with babool pods or
similar barks are only imitation mo-
roccos. though it takes an expert to
discover the difference. Long wear. Of
course, reveals the deception. Roam
feathers are sumac tanned sheepskins.
Moroccos are not used so much now
adays for covering dining room furni-
ture, but motor cars have given the
trade new market.

Seeking Cause Of Typhus,

The Mexican Academy of Medicine
has appropriated $4,000 for the pur-
pose of discovering the cause of IT,
plus and to develop cure for the f.
yer. Of the amount $4,000 will be
awarded to the person or persons dis
covering the cure. A like amount will
be given to the person or persons dis
covering serum which will kill the
typhus germ in the blood. In the
event of any one person solving both
problems an effort will be made to

Safety Lamp For Miners-

a new lamp for use in mines has
recently been invented. The lamp is
placed within a large glass globe.
which Is air tight. Between the lamp
ana the globe pure air is inclosed. and
when the lamp is lighted the air is
expanded by the heat In case the
lamp should be SO injured as to ex-
pose the incandescent filament to the
gases in the mine the compressed air
between the two globes is driven into
the broken lamp before the air Of the
mine can enter. The influx of COM
pressed air extinguishes the lamp be-
fore the explosive air Of the mine is
able to reach 1t. The lamp is fed BY
single cell storage battery, which is
inclosed in celluloid case. It will
burn for twelve hours on a single
charge and gives a light Of between
one and two candle power.
