no more strained than they occupy
today. A crop of 12,500,000 bales
would be given away if sold under
16 cents. The world would have to
take 1t all at even higher prices if
It were held for same
And what crop may we expect?
Last year the states. exclusive OF
Texas and Oklahoma, produced about
400 900 bales, and there is no reas-
on to expect larger yield from the
same states this season, especially
when he crop Is three weeks late.
In fact, any increase must be eX-
tremely small, and on the contrary
there is strong probability tina; in
stead OF an increase there will be a
decrease. Texas and Oklahoma GER
tainly do not indicate over 100000,
and these figures also are more like
ly to be reduced than raised. There
fore. the total yield indicated is GER
talnly not more than from ll,5OOOOO
to 14,0OG,OO0 bales.
Now at the opening this year the
trade is lowering over the market
like vulturc, hoping that the pro
ducer will rush to market his crop
as he has in seasons past, even If
he can get only l3 cents for it,
In our judgment those who follow
such policy will not only be rob
bing themselves-they will be throw
ing away the opportunity of life
time: and they will also be destroy

property.
II Is a matter of little concern
to us that our efforts to establish
a fair price for cotton, according to
the law of supply and demand, were
neither realized nor appreciated By
those interested last season. That
is now past history, but to allow
this crop to rush to market with

the costly mistakes they may make

but IL is true. that the price of raw

MRS. FRENCH AND TOM LAW.

1T IS TOO PREPOSTER0US
But It Is Asserted, in Spite Of This
Denial, That the Red Haired Fas-

Girl.

New York, Sept. And now it's

beauty who had wormed all Heinze's
United Copper secrets from him for
the exclusive information of the Stand
ard Oil coterie
Then Thomas W. Lawson of Boston
rushed into print with the assertion
that he knew of the red-haired fascin-
ator employed by Standard Oil to gain
inside information of deals inimical
to the system"
John ID. Archbold vice president
and director of the Standard Oil com
pany. was informed of the statements
of Mrs. French and Mr.. Lawson.
Through his secretary, Mr. Archbold
made this response:
STANDARD Oil does not employ red
haired sirens in its business. These
statements are tissue of falsehoods,
ridiculous upon their face and unseem-
ly. | cannot make my denial of these
reports too emphatic. There has new
er been any basis for these absurdi-
ties regarding a woman such as you
describe acting as a secret agent for
the Standard Oil company
At the stock exchange one youth
full poetaster emitted the following.
o. S. ENEMIES BEWARE.
She's far from old and very fair,
This siren with the flaming hair.
When Standard Oil had first begun
To speak with glib and oily tongue
They called her in and let her know
The way that financiers should go.
She knew the rest. And secrets got
That put all kinds of men to pot.
So let the systems" dupes beware
This siren with the Flaming Hair!
Investigation makes it extremely
probable that the red haired wizard
ess was at one time Broadway show
girls and that she appeared in the
Florodora seXtet, after having been
one of the most toasted members OF
the cast of the Man in the Moon"
company, in which Edna May starred
several years ago. Her first name is
still said to be Marie. With a number
of other stage beauties she is said to
have attended the midnight supper at
Rector's given by Fritz Augustus
Heinze, at which each fair guest
opened walnut shell and found
500 bill folded within.

WISHBON S.
On Their Shsre Depends the Force OF
Birds Wing Strokes.

Scientists calls the "wishbonc" the
fuYcula, and it is the union of what
are in man two collar bones. These
receive the brunt of the strokes of the
wing that turn the creature in its
flight.
Few of us appreciate the strength
of the stroke Of tic birds wing. a
swan has been known to break q
mans leg by blow of its wing, and
in like manner the wing bcatings of
the larger birds are dangerous If they
strike the human head or face. If,
therefore, Il large bird is in the habit
OF making sudden turns to right or
left III its flight it must be fitted with
a ''wiShbone" capable OF withstanding
the great strain of the wing stroke on
the one side when una2Companicd 10y

PLATINUM.
The Supply Of 1t and What 1t Is used
For.

1t is frequently the case that some
of the minor metals do not follow the
course Of the general market. or OF the
important metals. An instance or TINS
Is found in the range Of platinum
prices during the present year. III
| 1909, the metal was at the lowest point
Il b,1 reached in several wears For
nearly half the year ii was between
So and $23 per ounce, but III the last
quarter it crept gradually up 70 49,
At about this time an upward move
ment began, slowly at first, but the
price reached $33 in July and $54 IN
September. In the month just closed
the gain was rapid and the closing
quotations are $39, an advance OF
nearly So per cent during the year.
The supply Of platinum is so small
that it is quite possible for 1t to be
eornered; and in fact this has been
done several times by the French syn
dictate which controls most of the Rus
sian output. In the present case, now
over, there seems to have been real
increase in demand. One call Tor plat
mum, its chemical use, does not vary

used is not consumed, but returns III

consumption, as compared win last
year and the early part of the present
year.
The general demand at the present
time comes from the jcWclry trade,
and to this the rise in price is largely
due. Fashion has decreed that plati-
mum shall be, substituted for gold in
certain classes of work, and this has

a use which is likely TO be checked by
an advance in price, since purchasers
are usually able to pay for and to de-
mand what they want.

WRESTLING NOTES.

George Hackenschmidt. Russian
wrestler, won in straight falls Thurs
day night at Lincoln, Neb., from AL
berto Mandino, an italian. The first
fail came after 10 minutes and the Sec
ond in half that time.
J. H. Herman, in behalf of Zbyszko,
the giant Polish wrestler, who Is ap-
pearing in vaudeville In Milwaukee this
week, posted Thursday morning with
a Milwaukee newspaper a certified
check to go as a side bet against any
wrestler in the world. If Gotch or
Hackenschmidt will accept the chal-
lenge, Herman states he will post $4,000
more on the signing of articles.
Robert Berry. English rniddleweight
champion wrestler, and John Kilonis
will, this week, be matched for Sec
ond wrestling bout in New Bedford.
Forfeits have been put up. They met
short time ago in New Bedford and
Berry was awarded the bout on a foul.
Il was an unsatisfactory ending. Many
thought that the Britisher had pinned
his opponent to the mat.
Tom Flanagan, who has George
Hackenschmidt under contract for an
exhibition bout in Toronto, Ont, has
been notified by the Toronto morality
department that Hackenschmidts ap-
pearance will not be permitted. The
Toronto authorities took q stand
against wrestling some time ago and
although Flanagan pleaded eloquently
they declined to make any exception in
Hackenschmidt's case.
Frank Gotch, the former champion
wrestler Of the world and the man
whom George Hackenschmidt is after
for return match, has been coaching
DR.. Ben Roller for the latter's match
with Hackenschmidt, and, if the advice
OF Gotoh counts for anything, Roller
will prove the biggest kind of sur
prise for the Russian Lion when they
get together in Mechanics building
Monday night. Roller has written to
Boston friends that he is in the best of
shape and that the weeks rest he has
had from railroad travel has done him
a world OF good.
