NEW YORK, Sept IA fresh wave

OF the dull wheat market. caused reports
that Mr.. Patten, the big Chicago opera
tor, was advising his friends to transfer
their interests from wheat to cotton.
Southern and local bulls were also biz
buyers and buIlish enthusiasm based up
on reports of material damage to the
crops as result of the recent storm and

couraged by reports that manufactures
had become frightened and were calling
cotton right and left for future delivery.

and May to 1912 during the early AFTER
noon, these prices showing an advance
of about 1 il cents pound from the low
level of last week.

ever paid for cotton at this season of the
year. when the south has SIN. AzctloAIEs

realized for single crop in the history OF

One of the results of the increasing
activity of the market and predictions
of a big bull year has been sharp ad-

swsring the most difficult questions OF
his doubters. IL was expected the north
poie controversy would be permitted 70

however, is probable shattered by a dis
match from the train on which Peary is
speeding TO his summer home, saying
that he is preparing an indictment Of 80
counts again DIT. Cook. and that ne VIII
publish these categorical allegations very
soon
When Commander Peary declared his
intention OF retiring TO his home at Eagle
Island. Maine. he said that for the pres
ent he would not discuss Dr. Cooks
claim. but would wait until the Brooklyn
explorer had made public his data As
DR.. Cook does not expect to have this
matter ready for publication before two
months have passed. it was expected
that Peary would not produce evidence to
support his charges until then.
WANTS LEISURE FOR JOB.
But the dispatch now coming from
Maine says that Commander Peary's
principal object in hurrying to his home
is to be free from interruption so that
he can quietly prepare his bin of in
dlctment against DIT. Cook In making
this statement. AIr. Peary is quoted as
saying that he is overwhelmingly con-
fident that any one Of the 30 counts will
be powerful enough to refute Cooks
claims"

cIares that some OF the replies to specific
suestions we're inadeouate- and-that his

observations make a final judgment now
impossible.
DR.. Cook Is new being harassed prin-
cipally by persons who are seeking to
make money from the publicity which
has come to him Scores OF agents rep
resenting publishing houses and lecture
bureaus are camping out at his hotel in
an unsuccessful attempt TO reach him
