QUIET OUTLOOK IN
 THE COTTON WORLD
Holiday on Tuesday Will Take
 Away Interest
WAITING FOR REPORT
Wednesday and Experts Will Then Make New Estimates on
 the Total Crop

New Orleans. November 6.-This week a dull way. Few traders will care to in crease their commitments on Monday in view of the fact that Tuesday is a holiday in both American markets, while Wednes- day will see the most important report on ginning issued thus far this season by the census bureau. After the census figures are known it is likely the trade will settle down to some serious figuring over the year over the probable size of the crop, using the ginners' returns as a basis.
 The census report will compare with 7017,S49 bales ginned up to this time last year and S,19l5S7 ginned to the same time two years ago. Figures in all reports are carried down to November 1. At the close of the market Saturday the general ex- pectation appeared to be for report of about 1900, ,0OO bales. A report over that amount will cause a decline and a report under will cause an advance. The trade is more or less confused by the fact that, while it is universally conceded that this crop is considerably larger than that of last year. ginning has thus far Jagged behind the ginning of last year, probably because of the lateness of the crop. Neither does the trade know what to make of reports from Georgia to the effect that some gins which usually run full time during November are now running only two days week.
 The weather this week will not inter- est the market unless it Is rainy. Then it will be a bullish factor because rain will interfere with the picking of the crop and will injure its grade. The one big feature that will be before the trade all the time will be the coming estimate of the total crop by the government. This estimate will be issued on Friday De- cember g. Until it is out of the way the average trader will think of little else.
 But the clai mis made that a consider able short interest has been built up in November and the spot market will be watched for confirmation of this claim Usually November Is a very dull month in spot cotton. Should a good spot demand develop the future market would imme- diately be affected.

THREE VICTIMS
 OF ONE MANS GUN

Hartselle November 6-(Special)-The tragedy at the Holland Blow Slave com pany. which occurred yesterday evening. has deepened into a triple murder. and the lifeless forms of Charles Lecroix. AL bert Reed and Alvin Williams are cold in death, and three murders are credited to W. W Wiggnton, the clearinghouse keeper at the camp.
 From best information obtainable it seems that the quartet were drinking. and the three dead men were boarders of Wiggnton. A discussion of board bill prices took piace. the three maintaining that Wigginton was charging them too much for board. The quarrel which en- sued grew in intensity and it Is said that Wigginton went to a dresser drawer and drew a revolver and proceeded to fire upon the three men.
 Lecroix was killed instantly, only one shot being fired at him, taking effect near the heart. He ran about 20 steps and fell dead. Seeing the effects of his first shot he immediately opened fire upon the other two, dividing his remain ing four shots between them. each re-
  last night at o'clock and Reed lived until a. m. today.
 It seems that Wigginton took his time | in leaving, seeming in no hurry to get | away. It is claimed that he stayed at Hartselle last night, and may be making his way to Decatur to give up. Informa- tion from the scene of the murder is to the effect that he left that information | on leaving.
 All the four participants bore the repu- tation of peaceful men. The weapon used was new g special Smith X Wesson, and the shells were loaded with steel | bullets. It is alleged that there had been some little trouble between the men oyer other matters prior to this, and that Wig ginton had made threats that he would settle with them.
 The community is in very excited condition, but no further trouble is an- | ticipated. The camp is about nine miles east of here off the railroad.

MORE INQUIRIES FOR IRON PRODUCTS

l New York, November 8.-Thus far No vember has not developed any increase | in the volume of business for finished steel products, but the mills are encour- aged to expect an improvement in the placing of contracts for railroad equip
 ment before the month Is out This re- | fers more to rails and cars than to bridges and other structural work Last week orders were placed for 525 cars, mainly by industrial roads and pro- vision is making for building 425 more at
 the shops of the railroads, these will call
 for about 10000 tons of structural ma
 terial. . New inquiries have been issued Tor SIS more cars, and the Pittsburg,
 Shawmut and Northern Is preparing plans
 for $500 cars. Thus business Is in sight
 for about 10000 cars. Orders were placed
 for 12 locomotives and 10 more are in the
 market. The Erie has reserved space for Su,oV0 tons or rails for 1911 shipment, and
 the mills have reason to expect contracts | for several hundred thousand tons more
 Tor next year, possibly before the close of 1910.
 In structural lines business was verW light and the prospect is not favorable for
 an increase in tonnage in November or December Specifications for fabricated
 steel for the week were only 15,5oO tons.
 Contracts for pig iron called for only about half the tonnage placed during the
 preceding week. In the eastern districts
 large individual contracts were placed,
 but orders for about 5000 tons of foun- dry grades were secured from consumers
 mainly in New England and In New Jer-
 sey including manufacturers of plumbers
 supplies, of valves, machinery and ma
 chine tools. Jobbing founders and malle- able works also placed few orders hut
 there was less demand from stove foun- ders and other works. There was small
 change In prices. The output in October, it is estimated, decreased between 4Oooo and 5000 tons. but more furnaces will
 blow out this month.

ANTITRUST THEATRE LAW
Owners: Association Moving for
Legislation in All States.

The directors of the National Theatre
Owners Association held a special meeting
yesterday in the general offices, in the
Knickerboeker Theatre building. and
adopted a resolution to insure perfect free
dom in the booking of attractions for all
existing theatres new theatres that may
be constructed Each representative of the
association is to ask the state Legislature
in the district which he serves to pass a.
Law similar to the Texas and Missouri
antitrust law which conpels the pro-
prietors of theatres to show their books TO
producing managers and to book any at
fractions for time that is available on their
books
John COrt, president OF the association,
SAYS he has certain assurances that such a
bill will be passed in every state. The fol-
lowing statement was given out yesterday
by the owners association:
THE announcement that comes from the
offices of Klaw & Erlanger to the effect
that they will Immediately begin the build
ing Of new theatres throughout the coun-
try in opposition to the sixteen hundred
houses under control of the National The
atre Owners Association, is at least anus
ing, following as IL does the assertions that
very recently came from the heads of
what was the greatest booking agency the
country has known. Only a few days ago
Mr. Erlanger stated that there was no
money TO be made in one-nisht stands. ana
that he was glad 70 be rid of them. The
revenue Mr.. Granger has collected from
booking those same one-night stands has
been matter of $4,000 yearly.
In Macon. Ga. the De Gives own one OF
the finest theatres in the South, yet Mr.
ErIanger does not purpose TO allow all at
fractions to play in that house. That
would hurt his personal feelings. Macon
has a population of about $500. of which
possibly % coo. are white. This is only an
instance OF what Mr.. Erlanger, with his
wonderful business acumen, wants to do
for the producer as we'll the theatre
owner; he would have some capitalist-not
hinself-build another theatre in this, as
well as similar cities, TO satisfy whim.
ut is this condition of affairs that the
National Theatre Owners Association was
organized TO eliminate. It's object is to do
away with opposition theatres in towns
which cannot support them, and thus en-
able the producer and the theatre owner
TO reap some reward for their investment"
