BASKET BALL SITUATION.
High School May Lose BiIou Rink to
 Play Games In.

Indoor sports may be cut out of the high school athletics, if the parents and guardians don't take more inter est in the games as they are played. The Bijou Rink where the high school has been doing their daily practice and playing their games, may abolish basket ball games from their program of entertainment if there is not more interest displayed on the part of the local sport lovers and parents of the players.
 Under the laws of the Arkansas Athletic Association the player who receives any recompense for his work in a game is considered a profession al and not allowed to play under the laws of tho association. The manage ment of the Bijou has been financing all the local indoor sports that are held at the rink and much expense is encountered in bringing visiting teams to this city.
 The rink is given to the locals free of charge to play in and hold their games in, but owing to the fact that the receipts of the house are sometimes smaller than the amount necessary to hold a series of games and the ring having lost much this season on financing them. an am nouncement was made last night that unless patronage amounted to the cost of the games they would have to discontinue holding them.

DEMAND IS IMPROVED

New York, September 16.-There was a further advance in the cotton mar ket during today's trading with clos ing prices a little off from the top, but steady at a net gain of to II points on covering, support from trade inter- ests and reports of steadier spot mar kets in the south.
 The market opened at an advance of to 8 points and quickly sold to a net gain of to 10 points on overnight buying orders local covering and some fresh demand from outside sources based on a bullish private condition re- port, which indicated a deterioration of per cent in crop prospects during the past two weeks.
 Demand seemed to have been pretty well exhausted on this advance and the market during the middle of the morn ing tuxned easier under realizing and a renewal of bear pressure, but after selling off to within near last nights finals, again steadied. There appeared to be no particular news item to ac- count for the increased demand, but buying improved and later there was renewed covering on early advices from the south, showing southern spot mar kets to be generally firmer and un changed to 1s cent higher.
 Prices at the best point showed a net gain of 12 to 6 points, this making a new high ground fors the movement and an advance of 25 to 35 points from the low level of the week. Realizing caused slight reactions from these fig ures, but there was good buying at a set back of 6 to ' points from the best
 Large spot people were credited with buying considerable October and De- cember during the day. but probably the bulk of the demand came from re- cent sellers who were rendered nervous by bullish crop reports and the failure of Southern markets to work rapidly lower with the approach of the gen. eral picking season. Receipts at the ports today, 34.s46 bales, against 19.45s last week. and 53,262 last year. For the week, 170,0o0, against 94,S50 last week, and 241,526 last year. Today's receipts at New Orleans, 970 bales, against 1900 last year.

CLOSE IS AT THE TOP
Corn Declines on General Selling But Part of Losses Are Recovered Later-Oats Close Higher;
 Provisions Irregular

Chicago. September Recovering by some of the larger shorts stampeded the smaller ones this afternoon and turned the wheat market from weakness into apparent strength, It was because of the smallness of trade at the time, however, that the purchases took so much effect Closing prices showed a net rise of Mc to 1Ac. Corn finished 5sc to %6Mc down; oats unchanged to 1kc up, and pro- visions at 20c lower to 10c advance.
 Wheat closed at the best figures of the day, the market being oversold. At no time was the situation as weak as pre- dicted, following the depression in both the domestic and foreign centers yester- day. Talk of export sales had much to do with bringing about an upward turn Another bulish factor was a substantial falling off in worlds shipments as com pared with last week. Attention was also given sharply to an estimate that the total Russian production of grain was 500,000,000 short of last year. Pre- ceding the final furry among the shorts In the future pit there was. firmness in cash wheat September, too. was some what stiffer than other months. Decem- Der ranged from 977sc 10 995sc, closing strong at the last named price, gain Of sale over the latest quotations of the previous session.
 Corn. although weak, rallied somewhat with wheat late in the day. In this pro- cess small shorts were run to cover but larger shorts took hold and the market sold off again. Considerable interest de- veloped regarding a statement that Ala bama had raised 100,000,000 bushels of corn this year, against 44OO0,0OO bushels last year. December fiuctuated between 52s4c and 535sc, and closed steady at 53hc, net decline of Sc. The cash market was weak. No. yellow closed at 551a@56e.
 With country sales lighter, receipts here slim and shipping call fair. oats ruled firm. December sold from S5c to 3611c, finishing Ac up at 3512c.
 After an early demand was supplied. hog products lost ground. In the end pork was 2Oc lower to DC lower; lard 21sc to 1Oc up, and ribs at 219@5c to 121kc de- cline.

New Orleans Cotton Market

New Orleans. September 16.-Cotton futures opened steady at an advance of to 10 points. Cables were favorable. but the chief bullish influence at work was the rumor that well-known private crop reporting bureau was out with condition report of 6S per cent of the normal, thereby indicating a loss of 5 points for the first half of September This rumor was not confirmed, but 1t had it's effect on prices just the same The weather map was favorable, but did not stimulate short selling. Trading was brisk on the first call and immediately after, but soon fell off and commission houses complained that the bills of lad ing question was hurting their business. At the end of the first half hour of trad ing prices were to g points up.
 The market was very steady through out the morning session. Reports from Texas were received stating that recent rains had come too late in many locali- ties to be of benefit to cotton, andSthat the crop had made about all it could make this season. These accounts caused nervousness among shorts who up to now have been confident that there was a chance for a bumper crop in Texas Large exports from Galveston. amounting to 45574 bales, all but 5054 bales of which were destined for the continent of Flu rope, increased the nervousness of shorts and offset the effect of considerable profit taking by longs. At noon prices were still to points up.
 In the afternoon session the market was dull but very steady. On extremely limited trading prices were we'll main tained and even sent a point or two high CT than in the morning. At ? o'clock the trading months were 10 points up.
 The close was very steady at an ad- vance of to 10 points.

DEMAND IS STRONGER

Eggs sold at 27c the dozen yesterday on Morris avenue, the expected rise from the prevailing 25c figure of the week coming. A few dealers continued to of- fer their fresh country eggs at 25c, but 26c was the price procured by a number of dealers and will doubtless be the prevailing price today.
 Eggs and poultry are more scarce than during any recent season and the de- mand is stronger than ever. Trade would be good, the merchants state, if the eggs and chickens were only to be got ten.
 Nothing unusual transpired yesterday in the wholesale produce meat or grain markets, and prices in these divisions were unchanged.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter

New York, September 16.-(Special.)- Yesterday the market showed so firm an undertone that those who had expect ed a decline to follow the weak tone of earlier in the week felt that they were wrong in their position and decided to withdraw from the market. A demand from these sources caused the improve ment today, though spinners did not fol- low the advance over a basis of 13 cents. and tonight the local trade looks for a further advance in Europe tomorrow The demand was supplied by hedge sell ing from the south.
 Further reports of deterioration fur nished the basis for the change of opin- ion noted above, though buying orders from the south were absent.
