In this matter of a readjustment Of
freight rates the criticism is frequently
made that the railroads are cinching the
general public and making no important
increase in tariff for the steel trust and
other big shippers. In defense against
this charge the belated explanation is Of
fered that the apparently exempted in
terests are not taxed additionally at this
time because the rates were raised on
them only few years ago, and that the
present proposed uplift is merely bring
ing other freight into line with what was
done to the iron and steel and other great
Shippers before. 1t is mentioned that as
recently as 1866 pig iron and the prod
ucts of the mills throughout the entire
middle west were called on to submit to
an increase in rates amounting to % per
cent to 40 per cent.
To be specific, the rate on pig iron
from valley points to Pittsburg was
lifted from 65 cents to 80 cents per
ton, and from Lake Erie ports to valley

On Advertising.
From the Baltimore SUM-.


Effective advertising has come to be as
much of an art these days as painting
pictures or forming trusts. The merchant
who pays only perfunctory attention to
his advertising is in the class with him
who permits his janitor Or errand boy to
decorate his show windows. One morning
last winter an author. whose name is
known throughout the country, called
upon a wealthy friend. one of the coun-
try's captains of industry. He found the
famous business man in his library. sur
rounded by piles of newspapers and
asked the friend. II read what you write. -
responded the captain Of industry, land,
of course. the leading news of the day.
but outside these l read, principally the
advertisements. A man in my position
cannot keep abreast Of the times without
reading the advertisements. They hold the
news of the Industrial world; they tell me
the latest trend of inventive and ad-
vanced business thought. There is a guar
antee. to my mind, in every advertise
ment; the man who has enough confidence
in his goods to advertise them boldly is
the man who appeals to me-"
There seems to be SO much logic in this
brief argument that it is presented here
without further comment

COTTON MARKETS.
NEW YORK.

NEW YORK. October l5-Lower cables
than expected and more favorable
weather reports were followed by quite
sharp reaction in the cotton market to-
day. the close being barely steady at a
net loss OF 12al7 points The market
opened steady at decline of 9a13 points,
in response to lower cables. At first
selling was restricted by early reports
indicating that the West Indian storm
was approaching south Florida and
threatened to sweep up the south At
lantic coast, and shortly after the open
ing prices rallied or points from the
lowest. In other respects the weather
news was generally favorable, however
there being no sign of frost, and when
private wires were received from New
Orleans claiming that there had been a
change In the course of the tropical
storm which would carry 1t out over the
Atlantic, selling here became heavier as
a result Of active realizing for over Sun
day and operations for a reaction fol-
lowing the recent rapid advance and the
new high records of Yesterday. There
seemed to be g. considerable demand
from trade interests on a scale down, but
last prices were at the lowest of the
day. Reviews of the dry goods situation
were generally encouraging, as they sug-
gested that the higher prices paid during
the week had not checked demand. and
a comparatively large business was re-
ported at Fall River.
These reports in connection with many
private wires from interior southern
points claiming very firm spot markets
no doubt helped the rally after the OPEN
ing decline, but local sentiment seemed
to favor a reaction con the ground that
prices were high enough TO discount
known bullish factors, and that the good
weather in the south justified some in
crease in estimates of the crop.

Life of Telephone Poles.
From the Electrical Record.

The average life of an untreated sea-
soned pole depends so much upon the
kind of timber. its condition when set,
the character of the soil and the climatic
conditions: and these are all SO variable
erage life is difficult. Most companies
can closely estimate the average life OF
their poles as controlled by their local
conditions by referring to their pole
records. The average throughout the
country, however, is apparently some
what as follows: Cedar, thirteen and
one-half years; chestnut, twelve years;
cypress. nine years; pine, six and one
half years; juniper, eight and one-half
years.

FOREIGN MARKETS,

LONDON, October 15.-The stock mar

while southern home rails with continent
tai connections declined in sympathy I'M
til Friday. when better news from Paris
caused a decided recovery. Gilt-edged Sc
curtties, although steady. were neglected
on account of dear money fears and the
number of higher yielding new issues

tinued heavy, but Industrial shares ex-
perienced broadening Investment de-
mand. which carried prices to a higher
level.

The Financier Will say:
Through a continuation of the policy of

posts. the clearing house banks of New

the Treasury and the interior, but sue
ceeded in Increasing theiG reserves S4,1S2-
Az. bringing the surplus above the ~ per
cent requirement to S11,170,275. AS
matter Ct fact. the loss of about S5.Ug-
o. in cash. which preliminary estimates
Indicated that the banks had sustained,
was not shown IN the statement Saturday,
the decrease in specie and Iegals for the
were reduced Sl9.2CG,G9b, and this was re-
sDOnsibie fOr the decrease of about Sl9-
1000 in deposits. The figures above are
taken from the statement of actual con-
ditions. the statement of averages issued
Saturday having shown loss OF eighteen
millions in loans. four millions in cash
and decrease Of nearly TWENTY-FIVE mill
lions i'm deposits.
The surplus reserve. figured on the
basis OF averages was reported Satur-
day at 81. 500. Just how or where
the banks are reducing their loans is
not exactly clear. but the statement of
the trust companies and other institu-
lions outside the clearing house issued
Saturday seems to show that the clear
loans to these outside institutions
which reported for the week an in
crease of about twelve and one-third
millions in that item. The outside in
situations gained over one and one
quarter millions in cash, so that des-
pite the increase of twelve millions in
their deposits, their percentage OF re-
serve stands very nearly high as
the end of the previous week.

The London money market was eased
today by the redemption of $4,000. 900

marks about the end of the adjustment
of the British governments extraordi-

budget suspension, and brings the gov
eminent deposits in the Bank of Eng
land back TO about the normal, with
no prospect OF further relief for the

treasury bills.
Moreover. the English bank had to

Stock Exchange a Poolroom.

1t is thus brought about that the New
York Stock Exchange is for the moment
converted into a poolroom where enor-
nous election bets are made on the re-
suit of the balloting three weeks hence
The buyer of stocks is betting on the
election of John A. Dix for Governor Of
New York, and the seller is taking the
other end of the argument and laying
his money accordingly. This is a much
cleaner way of indulging in election gam
bling than it would be to vulgarly put up
money on the named issue as though the
candidates were horses and the issues be-
hind them the mere writing into the rec
ord of equine achievements.
AS community the financial district
will probably vote four to one for Dix, al
though ordinarily the street is heavily re-
publican. Reports that come in from up
state reflect a sentiment something SINH
revolt. strangely enough is not consid-
cred turning over to the democrats, but
is spoken of as a determination on the
part Of the republicans themselves to adj
minister discipline within their own
ranks, and to do it in asway that will
leave no excuse for misunderstanding
For instance, in one strongly republican
precinct in the silk stocking section near
Central Park, where there is normally
a republican vote of $50 and a democratic
vote of 80. the republicans are going to
register as republicans, and, according to
preconcerted plans will plump unscratch-
ed democratic ballots in at least two
cases out of three. This plan Is being

special correspondence OF The Star.
NEW YORK, October Is, 1910.
Subconsciously the stock market is being
very strongly influenced by the political
campaign now in progress, with the
center OF attention fixed on the polit-
ical eight in New York. The campaign
is not generally discussed as a market
factor. in fact, it is being kept in the
background as much as possible, but
none the less it is being considered
very earnestly by those who are in
actual market control, and whose judg-
ment as to the effect Of disturbing or
qu1et1ng political movement on senti-
sound.
There is a growing feeling that the
New York electorate will overwhelm
the new nationalism under flood Of
adverse votes in November. and that
the stamp of disapproval and rebuke
will be SO overshadowing that it will
carry with it almost guarantee that
the people are against extreme radical
ism. however it may be backed or I'M
der whatever guise it may appear,
whether under the banner Of Bryan,
DebS or Roosevelt The personal ap-
during the last two weeks of the cam
paign may turn back the tide Of de-
feat, which is setting in strongly-and
them, again, it may not. the new
Rooseveltism has been made squarely
the issue by both sides. and the
identity of the Roosevelt candidate for
governor is already practically lost

now stands for.
