The ancient Guild of Spectacle Makers.

county council leaflet. is numerically one
of the strongest of the city companies.
Its charter dates from the year 1872. ana,
though the exact date Of its origin is
lost, there is ample evidence that the call
ing of spectacle maker was extensively
followed at very early date. An old
book. of 1851. mentions the spectacle MAX
ers among other traders. and the biogra-
ply Of Carlo Zeno. an illustrious Vene-
tan, who died in 141S. mentions that even
at the age of eighty-four he needed no
artificial aids to his sight. So, presum-
ably. spectacles were common in Italy
some five centuries ago.

NEW ORLEANS. La, November g.
The cotton market today continued to
manifest strength and the final prices
were IA to 10 over the closing of the
previous day.
The opening in futures was at a de-
cline of to ) points on much lower
cables than due, but buying orders made
their appearance in volume Immediately
half hour the decline was recovered and
prices put from to points over yester-
days close.
The market exhibited considerable
strength during the late morning, chiefly
on reports from some important sections
of the belt that the crop had been more
seriously damaged than was at first sup
posed and that even large and almost
mature bolIs had been killed and were
turning soft and rotten. These accounts
shorts and the bulls quickly seized the
advantage to help bid the market up.
At the highest prices were ID to 20

close was at a net advance of IA to ID

active months in the future market taken
into consideration. There was gradual
advance from the opening, the lowest
prices being made on Monday, when the
trading months were points up to Il

Saturday, when the market stood 30 to 81

From the lowest to the highest there was
a range of AZ to 80 points.
A feature of the week was the tendency
to estimate the crop in serious way.
Many conservative firms always wait
until after the first frost to put out their
guesses on the yield, and the freezing
weather of last week was considered by
the majority to end the growth OF the
plant.
In the early part of the week the bears
tried to offset any bullishness In the
situation brought about by the freeze

as 100000 bales These had their ef-
feet for a short time, but from the mid
die of the week more conservative estl-
mates kept coming out. and their infiu-
ence on prices was marked. Belief in a
moderately small crop and accounts OF
great damage to the crop by the colo

WAITS ON ELECTION DAY
Speculation Slows Down Pending
Count of the Votes.
ELECTION BETS ON. CHANGE
Much Of Margin Buying Of Past
Few Weeks Has Been Merely
Political Speculation.
BY W. G. NICHOLAS.

Special Correspondence of The Star.
NEW YORK. November D. 1910.
This has been very quiet and strong
week in the stock market. Anticipations of
an election scare were not realized. The
tendency was SO pronounced in one di-
rection, so far as the state of New York
was concerned. that there was no good
chance to organize a raid that amounted
to anything. At the same time there
was a sharp falling off in the volume of
business and a very general disposition
to- sit tight on commitments already
made.
The election gambling spirit had been
pretty we'll gratified in bets previously
made on the stock market. and those who
had been figuring on the price effect of
the election next Tuesday did not care
to go further. During the week preced-
ing there had been heavy profit taking
and expectations were prevalent that quo
tatiOnS would react sharply in conse-
quence There was market setback
of several points, but the decline did not
go anywhere near as far as had been
commonly looked for. and even that
small recession was made up in large
part during the week under review.
Indeed, in some cases new high records
on the movement were made. notably
in Canadian Pacific, Amalgamated Cop
per. Shelters, United States Steel, Con-
solidated Gas and quite a number of the
specialties. Steel got UP to and past the
previous high point, and in the face of
most discouraging trade reports was well
sustained throughout. Not less than
10000 shares of the inside long stock
were unloaded during the first three days
of the week through two or three houses.
The stuff was taken without a tremor
and at the headquarters of the organized
bull party in that ISSUE expressions of
supreme confidence in further advance
after the election are disseminated. This
attitude is variously regarded. One
theory is that the bull syndicate has not
succeeded in unloading large lines bought
on the way up, and that 1t is under the
necessity of making a higher market if
possible, in order to get out with the
profits now shown on paper. Another
theory is that this bull contingent is
genuinely in earnest and believes the
stock to be worth a great deal more than
it is now selling for. Between these two
theories you pay your money and you
take your choice.

COTTON MARKETS.
NEW YORK.

NEW YORK, November 1.-The cotton
market showed continued strength today
on further covering and bull support with
the close firm at a net advance of Sale
points.
The opening was steady at a decline of
2a5 points in response to somewhat dis
appointing Liverpool cables. But private
advices indicated that the relatively easy
showing of the English market had been
due to a crop estimate Of 1900, coo bales
published by a Georgia authority, and as
it had been rumored last Wednesday that
this report would be issued today. it was
evidently considered discounted in local
circles. Moreover a crop estimate pub
lished by a prominent cotton firm in the
southwest Of II ,365. 900 bales and another
by a local firm of II $4,000 bales tended to
Offset the larger estimate mentioned
above. At any rate, right after the open
ing prices here firmed up and continued to
advance until the market had shown net
gain of 12a11 points on active positions.
At this level there was considerable realiz-
ing and slight reactions occurred, but
fresh buying orders seemed to reacn the
market on every little dir and closing
prices were not far off from the top.
1t was considered from the action of
the market that big short interests were
less willing to stand on their position
over the week and the holiday Tuesday
and the census report Wednesday morn
ing than the bulls were to carry their
contracts, and possibly apprehensions of
unfavoraDle weather In the south follow
ing the storms north of the belt had
some influence on the days trading. Other
factors in favor of the advance were the
favorable showing of the weekend figures
and the fact that southern spot markets
as officially reported after the close of the
market Friday had shown advances of
from lie to 3-16 of cent, thus tending to
confirm claims of a firmer spot situation
as a result of frost damage reports. More
or less wire trouble was still reported to-
day. delaying southern news to no small
extent but such few messages as came
through indicated firm spot holders and
a somewhat better demand.

NEW YORK. November 1.-The specu-
lative force in the stock market renewed
the contest today for higher range of
prices The reactionary tendency which
developed late yesterday was checked by
the authoritative statement from Presi-
dent Brown of the New York Central,
contradicting the rumor that a sale of
large short-term note issue of that COM
pany was in contemplation. That rumor
was largely responsible for the sharp re-
lapse in prices which occurred yesterday.
President Browns explicit assertion
that the $4,000. 600 Michigan Central note
issue placed i'm Paris had cost that COM
pany but IA per cent net served to cor
rect reports of an onerous interest rate
which had been exacted for that financ-
ing.
Discounting Tuesdays Election.
Relieved of this depressing influence,
the speculation again set about discount
ing the favorable conditions expected to
follow the passing of the elections. The
tone of mercantile reviews fostered the
impression that business activities were
waiting for relief from the unsettlement
Of political unrest in common with
of the market was held in restraint by
the consideration of how much had been
already accomplished by the advance in
prices in anticipating possible improve
rnent in business and industry.
The call money market Saturday at the
stock exchange is merely nominal. as
loans made Friday carry over until Mon
day The tone of the time loan market
was called decidedly strong and more
active.
The foreign exchange market weakened
sharply, and this was believed to reflect
the negotiation CT additional bankers
finance bills in the Paris and London
markets The private discount rate in
London moved toward further recovery,
giving evidence that the Bank of England
was again securing control and making
its own rate effective in that market.
Banks Lose in Cash.
The actual cash holdings of the banks
decreased here more than S6,5G0.OCO. in
stead of the estimated S3.O01.OO0. The
shipments. of gold late last week to Cam
ada are believed not to have appeared in
last weeks estimates The actual sur
plus is reduced To SJ,I29 900 and the ex-
cess of loans over deposits is again broad
ened
The stock market closed easy under
the influence of profit-taking sales.

value, 81 .091 600.
United States bonds are unchanged on
