Weekly Cotton Movement

New Orleans, November 1.-The cotton market was quiet and narrow and the week rough. The net changes were slight, declines of only to 3 points being seen on the almost active deliveries in the future market. The high prices were made on Thursday and the low prices on Tuesday, At the highest the trading months were points down to points up' compared with last weeks close at tho lowest they were B to IT points down, the range was only Ii to IS points.
 One of the features of the week was the way crop and estimates were swelled. Estimates were increased until finally guesses of F, ,G00,000 bales as the total yield were called. This had the effect of bal ancing the cold weather that prevailed over the cotton region after the middle of the week. Many brokers were confi- dent early in the week that a cold wave would put prices up, but 1t had very little influence when it did arrive.
 Much attention was paid to the move ment which continued exceedingly large the into sight for the week being 649,95s bales, against 797 bales this week last year and 547,199 this week two years ago Proudly this would have resulted In material decline. but for the large out oi sight, mill takings amounted to 4O5,Oo bales, against 349,00o this week last year and 33S, 900 this week two years ago. Tax ing it all around. the bullish and bearish features of the week about balanced.
 Tn the spot department prices lost i4c, middling closing at .9lAc. against 91ac last week and 14ssc this week last year. Sales on the spot amounted to 1864 last week, and 2965 this week last year. Sales to ar rive amounted to 1,676 bales, against 101?5 last week and 11,740 this week last year.

To An Old Man
There's Job.


 His story is the greatest drama ever written. And incidentally
 The story shows the deference that In his day was paid to old men--and how far we have moved from that treatment of the aged.
 Job was the millionaire of his day. his swollen fortune consisting of land and herds.
 Nevertheless
 Because couple of old fellows--Eli- phaz and Zapher--N ere his seniors. and the respect for age was high, Job was compelled to sit tight and endure his "comforters."
 gray haired and very aged men much older than thy father"
 And Job meekly replied, With the ancient Is wisdom, and in length or days is understanding"
 When Eliphaz, the younger, broke Into the discussion he apologized pro- fusely and confessed, 'T am young. and ye are very old, wherefore I was afraid and durst not show my opin- ion.''
 Much water has passed under the bridge since Jobs day.
 The wisdom of the ancients-except in China or Hindustan-is mostly esteemed a back number. Length of days does not necessarily go with understanding.
 The old man of today is fortunate if he can hold on to the tall end of prog ress. Experience, once valuable. :s out of date.
 Once a man was wise as q wagon max CT; now his son operates factory that makes only hubs. Formerly the doctor treated typhoid fever. cut off legs and pulled teeth; his son is a specialist"
 Skill in driving an OK team helps noth- ing in the steering of an automobile.
 What is needed today more than ex- perience Is the initiative to do and dare.
 Job no longer keeps still before the elder Eliphaz and Zapher It is the old who sit tight nowadays.
 Nevertheless
 If the world inaptly calls you oid in order to send you to your chimney cor ner. don't go. Stay up in front with ths band wagon. rheumatiz or no.
 Job needs you.

DUL[NESS PREVAILS IN COTTON TRADE Cables Bring Very Little News to Influence
 Operations

New York November 4.-Dullness per- vaded cotton trade throughout the entire forenoon, and the close was steady at a net loss of to i points at midday.
 Prices openedS to points lower in re- sronse to a little selling by room traders .n the way of evening up accounts be- fore the holiday. and in anticipation ol the census report next Wednesday morn ing. So little important news came in during tho session that there was no incentive to broaden operations on either side of the market
 The further agitation in the south in favor of holding cotton was used as a basis here for a little bull support of the market until the Sc level was reached. Almost In all quarters 1t was consId- cred that the treatment for low prices lay in reduced acreage rather than in trying to create an artificial advance after bumper crop had been produced. The south was a moderate seller here this morning and helped fill up whas little demand came in from room shorts. The China situation was still an uncer-
 
 of it's importance at Manchester some were of the opinion that the next i'm portant move in prices would come from the Liverpool market, and be downward unless the China situation improved ma telialy.
 In dry goods circles there was a little better demand for goods today, influenced Inv ba faa hot ,, around Sc for some time, indicating more resistance to declining tendencies than has been the case heretofore.
 Receipts at the ports today. 550o0 bales, against 7l,9oS last week and 51.661 last year.
 For the week. 45O,0Oo, against 4y.16S bales last week and 3iS,049 last wear.
 Ioday's receipts at New Orleans, 6099 against 4249 last year. and at Houston. 22,719, against 12,S5S.

 MT. Hitchcock, the new editor Of the great daily, had only the junior reporter at hand, and news of shooting case had come in
 A man had married girl at o'clock the afternoon before and at 8 o'clock the same evening had shot at her five times.
 What shall do?' asked tine reporter.
 Get an interview from the girl" raid Hitchcock.
 But don't know what to ask her. |" objected the reporter.
 Hitchcock got up from his chair. walked over to the wall and beat his head against the plaster three times.
 'I don't think you understand" he told the youth with as much patience as he could muster. Married at o'clock and shot at five times at o'clock. Go and get the story"
 Well. what shall I ask herT' queried the reporter.
 Hitchcock. looking pained and grievsd seid: Ask her whether she considers the conduct of her husband an insult or mere- ly studied indifference

WHEAT BUSINESS
 IS PICKING UP
Less Excitement Over ln- quiry as to Alleged
 Corner

Chicago, November 4.-Steadier nerves enabled wheat traders today to ignore the bogy offered inquiry as to an alleged corner. Many dealers themselves as beginning to believe that there will be no serious Largely owing to this outlook the market developed a stronger tone and closed at lA 9 F 9 net advance. Other leading staples. tou. c ase; oats, 1z@ssc; and hog products 6 shade to 1ac. It was apparent from the start that the feverishness of the last few days had disappeared from the wheat pit. No evidence of activity on the part of government representa- lives could be learned and speculators turned in relief to their minds most cheerfully on bullish crop conditions in the Argentine, Canada and elsewhere.
 As the day progressed cash business picked up a little, flour sales improv- ing and there was an export demand at Winnipeg.
 A good part of the ensuing advance was held although the closing tone was easy at a level considerably ur- der the top point reached. During the session December ranged from 94hc to 95Ac with last sales Ac up at 94as @94hc.
 Confidence among buyers of corn was greatly increased by former bull lead CTS appearing in the market. Besides there was a forecast of unsettled weather. Profit taking later caused some reaction. December fluctuated be- tween 62ssc and 627sc, closing easy. but Ac net. higher at 62hc. Cash grades were firm. No. 2 yellow was quoted at 74A@75Ac.
 Oats ruled stronger in sympathy with other grain and because of week end evening up of trades. High and low limited touched by December were 46ssc and 46ssc, with the close at 461ac, an advance of ssc over last night.
 In the provision crowd it seemed that buyers and sellers could not get together, bids generally being so far below offers that few transactions could be brought about. Tonight, how ever, the black boards showed higher prices all around-pork, 10@12c to l21sc and other products dearer, too but not more than Sc.
 Future quotations were as follows:

His Character
From the New York Tribune.

From the New York Tribune.
 In front of shop on Fifth avenue .hero stands, for purposes of advertisement, life-sized model of little dog. To adult eyes it bears but slight resemblance to . living bow-wow, but to the little girl who caught sight of 1t one day this week for the first time it was 0 creature of life and real personality.
 Regardless of white corduroy coat and dusty pavement, she dropped on her kness beside the dog and dazed in rap- ture. After a breathless moment she put out her hand timidly, then drew 1t back and looked up at her mother.
 twill he bite?" she queried. Then, as her mother shook her head, she stretched out both hands and patted the dogs head. Flo didn't move, and she went on pa atting him, blissfully. Then she put both chubby arms about him and gave him . joyous little girl hug. and. strengthening her small corduroy coated person once more, she blithely stroked the dogs right ear.
 "I'se got to go.' she murmured, ''muv- yer says. But Tse comin' back"
 She looked up at her mother. happily. Not once did 1t occur to her to doubt tho models reality.
 Hes so tweet." she gurgled. 'I link he's got the tweest character of any dog. gie ever did see!'

FURTHER RECOVERY IN STOCK PRICES Increased Strength and Ac- tivity Witnessed in
 Gas Stocks

New. York. November 4.-The fe- covery in stocks was carried further today. The upward movement was un- even and less spontaneous than on earlier days of the week, put ao- vances were general. The overshadoW- ing feature of the market from spec ulative standpoint was the addltlonai movement of Reading which was car ried up points to 14SH, q rise or more than 10 points from the low fg- ure of the week.
 The rise today was generally re- garded largely as the result of mapip- ulation and it was believed the stock was being forced up to cover realizing elsewhere In the list. There was coll siderable profit taking on tho theory that the rise in Reading had been LOO precipitate and for time the nlarAet showed some weakness. Before the close prices hardened in every quar- ter The Erie issues and Canadian Pacific were again in demand at high- CT prices. There was increased actiV.ty and strength among the local trac.ioh and gas stocks. Tn tho general hst of industrials National Biscuit ana American Agricultural Chemical were especially strong.
 Another large increase in the sur plus in idle freight cars was shown in the fortnightly statement.
 The demand for railroad equipme nt continues to improve, several orders for rails and cars being reported
 The September statement Of the IT. inois Central added another to the list of roads operating in the central west which have reported heaVy shrinkage in earnings in September.
 Owing largely to heavier operating expenses net earnings fell off more than -s,O0O,000. Chesapeake and Ohio reported small gain in net
 The bank statement revealed much larger loss in cash than had been in- dicated by known movements or cur rency during the week. The decrease as shown on the actual statement was more than $S,000,000.
 The surplus also fell off more than SS,0C0,00O. These changes were attrib- uted largely to shifting of accounts io- cidental to syndicate operations and the large November interest and dlvi- dend disbursement. Loans are larger, due in part to the increased activity on tie stock exchange.
 Bonds were firm Total sales, par value, s2,567,o00; United States bonds loss is on call on the week.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter

New York. November 4.--Quiet mar kets at home and abroad indicate the gradual reduction of the speculative in- terest because of the tendency to await new developments to determine the course of prices. There has undoubted- ly been more investment demand on the basis of cents this week than at any previous time. Under the influence of this demand the speculative interest outside of the south Is gradually talk ing the bull side on the chance of some factor appearing which in the near dis tant future will advance prices. This demand has absorbed the hedges so that the market tonight is only some points lower than three weeks ago. Whether the market will be maintained on this basis depends on the south. which has sold on every other appear ance of investment buying and so dis- couraged it.

New Orleans Cotton Market

New Orleans. November 4-Cotton fu- lures opened quiet at a decline of 3 to points. Cables were indifferent. Brokers had few orders to fill, but longs seemed to desire to even up over the week end, and their offerings were more than the ring could absorb and prices were held down in the early trading in the face Of none too good weather map and pros- poets of unsettled weather over Sunday. While the weather was warmer over the cotton region, 1t was cloudy with more or less rain. At the end of the first half hour of business, prices wore to points under yesterdays close.
 Toward the middle of the morning sell Ing by longs subsided and the market sreadie up. A moderate amount of short covering supplied sufficient demand to give prices a rising tendency, and late in the morning prices were 1 point up to 1 point down compared with yesterdays final quotations. The market was stimu- lated to some extent by the rumor that ocean freight rates were to be advanced
