WILL COTTON GO TO 20
CENTS BEFORE end
OF DECEMBER?

New York, IN. u, Dec. 1V.-lhe
Sun yesterday said:
viii cotton be worth l6 cents a
pound this year, or will it be II, OF
even 20? This is the question that
remains now to be answered. For
the market made sensational gains Of
about ST. per bale yesterday morning,
and the distant month options adj
vanced to new high record prices Of
the season, with May and June selling
not far below 15H cents a pound.
Last year at this time the May OPP
tion sold not far above 81 cents.
Thus it will be noticed that a bale Of
cotton is worth nearly $35 more than
last year.
The gain was not a result Of boost
ing BY the bull leaders who have been
standing under the market for the
past month. 1t was a result of the
government report of ginnings Of
8,878,277 bales to Dec. / that went
far to confirm short crop estimates
of the past and to lead to a belief
that the official government estimate
due Oh Friday will be sensationally
small. Ten and a half million bales
i about the average prediction for
it now, although many are expecting
even less. But even that would be
100000 bales below last years
crop, and would be the smallest in
recent years.
This condition is the result Of a
namber Of circumstances, including
droughts, tornadoes, boil weeyil and
early frosts, that have devastated the
South all season. And as in the pres
ent condition of prosperity the world
is demanding a crop as large as last
years TO supply normal consumption,
this state of affairs looks like abso-
lutte calamity. But, as if this we're
not enough, the Egyptian crop, start
ing out with brilliant prospects, has
ended ia almost total failure.
As America and Egypt are the
only two countries that can be counted
On for an important supply, the cot
ton markets all over the world have
been forcing prices up. A little
while ago Wall Street was pointing
out the cotton market as an example
of bad overspeculation because prices
went above IS cents. Commissioners
on the other hand, was com
planning that it was causing depres-
sioi,s that failed to give the planter
his due. Today the market, without
any real "bulling," made new high
records for the season, records that
have no parallel in the past, except
III the famous Sally corner.

THE RICE FARMERS
ARE DISCOURAGED.
Low Prices ana UnfaVOrabls Weather nave
Deferred Many From Preparing for Next
Year's Crop.

Crowley, La, Dec. I3.-The low
price Of rice has had the effect of
diseouraging farmers in the master
Of early preparation Of their lands for
next years crop, and with the ex-
ceDtion Of a scattering few rice fields
throughout the rice belt remains I'M
broken. Now that the woret weather
for the same time Of year in a num-
Der Of years has set in, it is not un-
likely that farmers next spring will
find themselves far behind in this
respect.
The approaching meeting Of all the
rice associations and farmers of Louis
lana, Texas, Arkansas and Mississippi,
which will be held on December Is, is
expected to be the largest gathering
Of rice growers ever assembled in the
South.
The object Of the meeting is to try
and secure corporations between the
farmers and millers in order to regu-
late the placing Of their products on
the market and to discuss ways and
means Of disposing Of the balance of
this seasons crop, which is said to be
large, at a price which Will be fairly
remunerative instead Of the present
low price.

INTERESTING QUESTION is Sc
DUEL OF DEATH FOLLOWING
HYPNoTIsT's EXPERIMENTS AT
SOMERVILLE, N. J. - PUZZLER
FOR LEGAL EXPERTS.

Somerville, N. J., Nov. 1O.-An inter
esting question is the sequel today oil
the autopsy performed last night or
the body Of Robert Simpson. the hyp.
motifs subject whom Arthur Everton
hypnotist, failed to restore after pIac-
ing him I'm a trance.
The autopsy disclosed that Simpson,
death was due to rupture of the
aorta. To just what measure of re-
sponsibility IL any, Everton will finally
be held by the law is a question which
is puzzling legal experts. The prose-
cutor Of this district is credited with
the intention Of holding Everton on a
technical charge of manslaughter un-
til his case can be passed upon by a
grand jury next month.
The autopsy last night was delayed
until the professional hypnotist had
had an opportunity to make one last
effort TO restore animation in Simp-
sons body. There was not the slight
est response, and the examination fol-
lowing indicated to the physicians
that death had resulted Immediately
after the collapse of the subject from
the rigid state in which the hypnotist
had placed him.

Chicago Tragedy

FRIENDS OF MAX COHEN AND

APO ARE SURE THAT THEY
WERE IN THE AUTO WHEN 1T
WENT OVER THE BRIDGE.

Chicago, Nov. 1O.-Fire boat crews
were again pressed into service today
when the work of dragging the Chi
cago river for the bodies of the sup
posed occupants of the taxicab which
plunged into the river Sunday night
was resumed. The continued absence
of Max Cohen and his fiancee. Beatrice
Sharapo, believed to have been passen-
gers In the vehicle which sank be-
meath the muddy waters, caused their
friends to abandon practically all hope
that they had escaped death
In connection with the peculiar cir
cumstances of the accident the theory
has been evolved that the reckless
driving of the chauffeur, Ernest Camp,
was due possibly to mental derange-
ment.
Those who mold this idea point to
the rigidity with which Camps Jaws
were set when the BODY was examined
at the undertaking room. Whether
the locked jaws resulted from rigor
mortis or was due to temporary paral-
ysis is being discussed by sensation
seekers. Peculiar actions attributed to
Camp by his acquaintance and the
fact that his father is an inmate of
an asylum form the basis for theory
of insanity.

Bismarck, N. D., Nov. 10.-There was
another invasion of the sacred pre-
cincts Of the ca 2itol building today
by leading democrats. the southern
part OF the state was strongly repre-
sented. The arrival of so many OF the
faithful here is attributed TO a state
ment by the governor that he had mar
row down the list of senatorial eliai-
Dles to Hildreth of Fargo or Macarthur
of Bottineau.
When this was telephoned To war

were sent to many localities urging

either OF these candidates by the ex-
ecutIve.
Senator Purcell OF wahpe4on Is
back here. He has many friends here
from all over the southern part OF the
state who insist he is the ideal man
for the place and much preferable 20
either Hildreth or Macarthur. The
meeting, today, is not however AZ
strongly in the interests OF any partic-
ular candidate as against both the
men who are now supposed to occupy
an especially high place in the favor
Of Governor Burke. Local wiseacres
are confident this new invasion will
stu further delay the appointment.
The governor is completely fab
bergasted,' is the way one strong dem
ocrat from the northern part of the
state expressed the situation this aft
ernoon. He has disappointed his
friends by his vaccillation," continued
the speaker. at is the first time Burke
has ever been really tested since ne
became governor. Instead of naming
a man right off, he firted with the in
surgents. then adopted a dilIy- dallying
policy with the democrats until he has
everyone up in the air. and he is APP
parently more at sea than any one
else"
