 YALE CORPORATION

Graduates of Yale have received circular letter in the interests of Otto T. Barnard of New York for a mem Der Of the Yale corporation and it IS signed by graduates of, practically ev- cry class from 1862 to 1905. Charles P. Taft, HerAy W. Taft. Clifford Pin chot, Julian w. Curtiss. Walter Camp, Thomas Thatcher George St. John Sheffield, Franklin MacVeagh are among the one hundred and one names attached to the letter

New Britain is now complaining of incompleteness in the taking of census, the Herald stating that there is not the shadow of a doubt that New Brit ain is to be cheated seven thousand at least because of the slipshod methods which have obtained in this census conducted under Sociologist Bailey of Yale" Illustrations of blunders are given by the Herald. The division of districts was very uneven; there were but two interpreters. employed for only two days; an Italian enumerator was sent to a German district. and a Ger man to the Italian district; local men were not consulted in the construction of districts, or the assignment of emu merators and the net result is a loss of 1000 in population.
 Hartford is making loud complaints of a similar character, and Bridgeport, while not stunning the air with pro- tests, is nevertheless aggrieved. Of course there are always complaints when cities are given less than the es timated populations. and sometimes doubtless the complaints are not we'll founded but in the cases of Bridge port, Hartford and New Britain there is an evident basis for the claims of fncompleteness

THE COTTON MARKET.

NEW YORK, Sept. 19.-The cotton
market opened steady at a decline or
2@10 points in response to weak cables
and reports of larger spot offerings,
but selling was by no means aggressive,
and while later cables from Liverpool
showed continued near-month veal
ness, prices locally rallied from the
lowest on scattered covering, and dur
ing the middle of the morning were
only 4 or 8 points under the closing
figures of last week. Weather advices
were generally favorable, but there
was a little support from the bull lead
ers, and it was claimed that the in
creased Southern spot offerings were
finding trade buyers.
The market broke to a net loss Of
HOBO points during the moo hour
under continued bear pressure, but later
steadied up from the lowest on buying
by trade interests, n during the
middle Of the afternoon showed very
little feature, with the active months
ruling about 1906 points net lower.

THE CHICAGO MARKET.

CHICAGO. Sept. ia majority of
wheat traders appeared to believe
judging by a slight advance in prices
today that possibilities for money-mak-
ing were greater on the bull side of the
market than on the bear side. This con-
viction was based chiefly on domestic
conditions, although foreign situation
seemed to be taking on an aspect fav-
oring the upturn. The shortage In
France, for example, was today esti-
mated at 113, 900, 900 bushels compared
with last years crop. Moreover, world
shipments were 3,5oO,000 bushels less
than a week previous. However, sup
port here was poor in the early deal
ings, and the market at first showed a
tendency to drag. Opening prices were
u lower to 81 higher. December start
ed at 100 to 10o7s, as against 1904 Sat
urday night. A rally to 1908 to " fol-
lowed.
Fine weather caused general selling
of corn. December opened Il TO X
down at 52B to 53lS and declined TO
529s. a
Oats were easy with corn. December
started unchanged to u off at 35% to
35% and declined to 35h to rs.
Provisions showed no energy. First
transactions were at a loss of 8 cents,
with January pork at 1926 and October
ribs at 11.3O. There was nothing doing
in lard.

agricultural instruction rains were run
through South Jersey last spring farm
ers informed the cficials. Of the rail-
road that they would ship more pro-
luce if better facilities for unloading
their wagons Were made. The ruralites
desired mere switch room, so that Il
greater number Of cars might be at
their convenience.
1t had been the custom to drive up
with a wagon and wait two or three
hours before it could be unloaded. This
was the situation at most of the great
shipping points. but while lecturers

AUTO PRICES DECLINE; NOT
YET WITHIN REACH OF POOR.

NEW YORK, Sept. 19.-An interest
ing tabulation of the average automo-
bile prices since 1903, prepared by the
American Automobile Association,
shows that automobile prices rose from
1903 to 1907, but that since that time
the price has gradually declined. This
decline, according to the associations
experts, has not been brought about by
any radical reduction in the price Of
motor cars, but by the great increase
in the manufacture and sale of ma
chimes selling for s 1,50O or less.
From 81, 1887, as the average price
for cars in 1903, the average ran up to
So, 1875 S. in 1907. and since that it has
decreased until the first six months Of
1910 shows $1.545. SO as the average price.
