Atlanta. Ga, Nov. 12.-Todays au- tomobile races reached their< climax when George H. Robertson, driving a sixty horse power F. l. A. T., lowered the American track record for fifty miles by 40:7. The previous record was held by John Aiken, who made the distance at Ondianapolis in 44;21:2. Aiken, who drove a National in today's race, finished second, and Stillman. who came in third, in a Marmon. both bettered the Indianap- oils mark. Aiken made the distance in 43:11:41 and StElman iu 43:30: 56.
 Eight cars started in the contest and five of them finished, despite the record breaking pace which was set.
 Lewis Strang, piloting his 200 horse power r. I. A. T.. set a terrific pace in the first seventeen miles, but in the eighteenth, as he was passing the judges stand, the tire of his right wheel exploded with a report like ar tillery. This compelled his withdraw. al, as 1t was impossible with this spe- cial design of car to make si quick replacement of tire. His time for the first ten miles was T:1S:22.
 Shrang trayelel CT an average of three seconds a mile faetNv than Rob ertgon, on which hasis it Is figured that had he been able to remain in the race to the end he would have gone the sfty miles in Rour minutes under the time made by Robertson.
 Asked after the mace if he would make another attempt at this distance tomorrow, Strang declared that the explosion of his tire showed the wis dom of waiting until colder weather before starting after a new record. Hugh Harding, driver of the Apper- son Jack Rabbit" had hayd time of made for him by the two Chalmers Detroit drivers, Lorimer and Dingley While on the twenty1seventh mile with LorImer to the left of him slight. | ly in advance, and Dingley close be | hind on the night, Harding made an attempt to escape from the pocket.

 On his forty-second mile Aiken was compelled to replace a tire and the spectators were treated to a swift ex- bibition by the men in the repair pit. The change was made in a minute and half and the star driver of the National team was able to resume without losing his position as second in the race.

COTTON PRICES
 ARE ADVANCING BULLS TOOK THE AGGRESSIVE AND oUTeENERALEo THE
 BEARS.
Think That the Consumption of the American Cotton Will Amount
 to About 13,5oo,ooo Bales.

New Yonk, Nov. 12.-Tt has been a remarkable week in the cotton mar ket. inasmuch as most of a decline of $5.75 a bale has been recovered in a few days.
 The bulls took the aggressive and cversold bears had to cover in a mar ket which mounted by leaps and bounds. Many spot holders at the south refused to follow the decline in futures. The demand was brisk and spot prices under this stimulus soon began to advance 'shanply. This and bullish manipulation prov ed to be the bulwark of the market. Moreover, aihe short interest has sud denly swollen .as already intimated. to unwieldy proportions. In such cir |cumstances it was an easy matter for a few uesolute operators on the bull side to stampede It.
 They did New Orleans. Chicago and Wall Street became aggressive buyers.
 Reports from the centers of cotton goods manufacturers have been fav- |orable. They speak of good demand rising. From China, too, the reports are of better demand for American goods. Mississippi has sent some un- favorable crop reports.
 From some parts of the south, crop exhaustion is reported. Bulls adhere to the very low estimates like 10090.- o00 to 10,500000 haies and predict much higher prices later on. which may help the market.
 They still think the worlds con l,aumption pf American cotton will be in the vicinity of 1s,500.000 bales and that as soon as the spinning world wakes up Ho the situation there will he fierce competition among buyers for all the raw cotton that this coun. try has Sesae Texas advices are to

the effect that the idea of any top crop of importance is pure nonsense.
 On the other hand, however, bull speculation has received decider set back from the wide open break which occurred last week. This and the big fluctuations which have since occur red, even on stronger market, have frightened a good many.
 The disposition in many quarters Is to await developments rather than take sides in a market as mercurial as this has shown itself to be lately.
 Meantime. too. the weather contin. ues favorable and whatever may ba said to the contrary, reports are grow ing louder and more persistent to the effect that the top crop in Texas is going to surprise many of the low crop estimates.
 Rightly or wrongly, the tendency now is to raise the figures on crop estimates. Eleven or twelve million bales are figures more frequently heard and also that Liverpool and southern, Wall street and western op- orators have sold on a large scale. Hedge selling by the south continues.
  The spot sales in Liverpool are down to normal figures and continental buyers are said to be less disposed to buy. There is more or less comment on the fact that East India cotton is be- ing offered in this country The cen sus figures last Monday were larger than expected and if the weather con- tinues favorable, particularly in the southwest, the final outuim of the cot ton crop, it is contendei will make 1t plain that some of the low crop es- inmates are altogether teo low.
 Such. briefly summarized, is the po- siton of the opposing parties in the speculation. The net result of the week is an advance. New Orleans bulls have consistently defended the market from attaclss from all quar- tens. William P. Brown. of New Or leans. is still here and in the trading ring daily. representing, it is suppos- ed, important bull interests.

His action was cheered.
 At Wesleyan University degrees of doctors of law were conferred upon President Taft, Vice President Sher- man, Senator Root and others. The president appeared in the academic procession Tn collegiate cap and kown, with the purple hood of his Yale de- gree hung about his neck.
