GULF STORM HEADED
FOR new ORLEANS
IS EXPECTED THIS MORNING
TROPICAL HURRICANE DOES DAMAsE IN
CUBA AND GULF SHIPPING IS
SQUIRTING BEFORE IT.

New Orleans. La, Oct. IA
Unless the hurricane now raging
in the gulf of Mexico changes its
course, it is expected to strike
the Louisiana coast with terrific
force about Sunday morning.
All shipping in this section is
swiftly hunting places Of
refuge, and no small craft are
leaving the New Orleans harbor
for sea until the fury Of the
storm is passed.
Wireless messages from ves-
sells that are battling with the
hurricane were picked up here
this afternoon, and these reports
indicate that the storm is one Of
the worst that ever swept the
gulf. One ship reports that the
wind is blowing seventy miles an
hour and is increasing in velocity,
while another vessel reports the
wind at eighty miles an hour.
Hope is felt here that the hurri-
cane will come in contact with
air current and will be
shunted off toward the Mexican
coast in the track of the past
three storms.

COTTON MARKET IS
HIGHEST OF YEAR
TONE REMARKABLY STEADY
sPIaHERs ARE HEAVY BUYERS AND
: NEWS FAVORABLE TO CONTINUED
HIGH PRICES or STAPLE

Despite the high level of val
ues. the uninterrupted advance
covering three weeks, the cotton
market closed yesterday thirty
points ahead of last week and
only ten points from the top
notch SO far of the season.
Since the latter part of last
month cotton has advanced two
cents pound, and unless the
signs fail the crest is yet to be
reached. There is plenty of
evidence of strength and all news
continues to favor the bull side.
The feeling of the big traders,
as reported by the private wires,
is still very bullish.
Weather over the belt remains
about all that could be desired
for picking and marketing the
crop, and even though the aver
age frost date is at hand, there
are no indications for cold wealth
er.
The bill of Iading deadlock has
been construed bullishly. Spin
ners have bought contracts to
protect themselves until this is-
sue was settled.
IL, 500,0 600 bales seems to be
the crop estimate about which
are grouped the calculations of
the prominent operators. With
this yield, following a semi
failure of last year, it is believed
by the majority of the trade that
cotton cannot show much de-
cline. There are brokerage
houses, however. which expect a
reaction from theI rapid Iadvace-
Although these temporary set
backs cannot be measured in ad-
vance, they do not look for a Sc
rious break at any time.
The spinners have not forgot
ten last year, when the west and
the south took up the cotton,
took the market away from the
men who had so long dominated,
took charge of the spot markets
OF the world and made money.

cial. AN indication that the 50 900

phoned Cashier Irish of the First Ma

him up a bank clerk, but Mr.. Irish was
