THE COTTON MARKET.

NEW YORK. Sept. 27.-The cotton
market opened irregular at al advance
OF J points to a decline of Z points, near
months being relatively firm 1T the
start on higher cables, but quickly cas-
INK off with the rest of the list until
the active months sold at a net loss of
7M10 points under heavy realizing and
hedge selling. Some of Saturdays buy
ers were evidently disappointed with
the course of the tropical storm, which
appeared to be working east OF the bel.
rather than approaching the gulf coast.
Heavy realizing and hedge selling
gradually sent the market off to a net
loss of 12415 points during h fore
noon, while trading seemed a little less
active, there was good demand on a
scale down and prices at midday were
3 or 4 points up from the lowest, al
though the undertone remained ner-
vous.

STAR WANT ADS BRING RESULTS
MAKING VAGRANT A BUM.
Municipal Lodging House Sys-
fem Is Blamed.

Orlando F.. Lewis, the secretary of
the National Vagrancy Committee,
which was formed in Minneapolis in
1907, mas an article on municipal lodg-
ing houses in the September number
of the Survey. He says that the com
munity gives the vagrant more cause
to become anti-social, when ii pens
him up with a group of unknown, de-
PRAYED men overnight. Were all
tramps depraved, unhelpable, old, the
group would be at least homogeneous.
But there are all sorts and conditions
of tramps. The wandering tramp army
today Is largely recruited from boys
and young men. And in these wretched
quarters in jails and locklips we are,
throughout this country, penning up
boys and young men In the early
stages of vagrancy."

the sole purpose, 1t appeared. of seeing
1t hop. Then, after 1t had gone a little
distance. he would pounce on it again;
but his teeth spared It's body, for every
time he released II II seemed to be
no more disabled than before. Some
times he would let 1t go, and then,
before 1t could hop out OF his reach, he
would lie down and roll over 1t In the
very ecstasy OF play. He would rub
himself on 1t, n lie with his feet all
in the air, throwing himself from side
to side in a regular frolic. 1t was
all play. pure and simple. with not the
slightest sign of cruelty.
At last the editor got down to the
yard-having fastened as much as he
could-and rescued the bird, the cat
disappearing In a black streak over the
back fence. The bird was not seriously
injured. and the editor had It cared for
and fed during the day. In the after

NEW MONETARY LAWS

Commissions Report Most Like
Nv Solution of Problem.

WASHINGTON. Sept. 27.-In some-
thing less than five years-to be exact,
on june 80, 1914-the Aldrich-Vreeland
financial act will expire by limitation,
and unless before that date 1t is re-
placed by a wisely-framed measure
of broad scope, the country will again
be in perilous situation that is COM
monty believed to have resulted in the
panic of 1907-0S. Speaker Cannon be-
lieves that a mere extension of the
present law will suffice; PRESIDENTIAL
looks with favor upon the proposition
to create a great central bank, and
there are all sorts of intermediate
schemes. Probably that which COM
mands the greatest support will be
based upon the recommendations of
the Monetary Commission, which has
been at work for more than a year
gathering the material for the con-
struetion of the actual legislation.

WALL STREET NOTES.
ELECTRIC, GAS, ETC.

Uptown Sentiment--Although 1t was
assumed last week that business on the
stock exchange this week would be
more or less curtailed by the celebra-
ton, some active speculative interests
in the Waldorf district said today that
they thought the festivities of the
week would have little or no effect upon
the volume of business transacted on
the stock exchange. They look for a
strong ana active market with sharp
advances in several groups of stocks.
The Street expects to hear soon vari-
GUS rumors regarding forthcoming
deals, and there will be considerable
disappointment If these rumors are not
followed by official announcements.
There will be distinct disappointments
also in several speculative circles IL
there is not a substantial upward move
ment in the local traction issues in the
near future.
Present indications favor a con-
.tinuance of the irregular tendencies
which dominated the list during the en-
tire session of last weeks stock market.
although the ultimate trend of prices
is regarded as decidedly upward. Con-
servatism for the time being is war
ranted on the part of the daily trader.
Purchases on reactions for turns seems
the safest positions to follow at pres
ent. While the market In London Is
buoyant and very substantial, advances
have been scored in Pennsylvania and
Steel, still brokers believe that techni-
cal conditions of the local market does
not warrant expectations that ssch
buoyancy and strength win be exhibit
ed here today. They look for consid-
cradle lrregularity after the first half
hour, as the bears are still active, and
are anxious to see lower prices. The
trend of the market for a long pull Is
upward, however, and on all recessions
the purchase of standard stocks, such
as Atchison, Steel, Pennsylvania,
Southern Pacific and Union Pacific, Is
advised.
A move in Central Leather, which Will
make the stock sell between so and %,
Is on the cards, 1t Is said.
