REACTION IN TIE
 COTTON MARKET
Final Tones Steady, Closing Prices Unchanged to 4
 Points Lower

New York, November 13.--A sharp early advance on reports of weather in the south was followed by reaction in the cotton market today and while the final tone was steady, closing prices were net unchanged to points lower, near months being unchanged and later deliveries from to points under the final figures of Saturday.
 The market opened firm at an advance of 7@10 points in response to higher ca- bles than expected and reports that se- we're storms in the south on Saturday and Sunday had been followed by the coldest weather of the season, with tenn perature below the freeing point at many stations. There was active covering as we'll as moderate trade buying and re- newal of the bull support noted last week, but offerings very heavy. the of- fciar forecasts were for rising tempera- trre, and after fuctuating irregularly around the opening figures during the morning the market gradually turned easier.
 The feeling in local circles appeared to be that the bad weather in the south was more likely to hurt the grade and to interfere with the movement and ginning than to actually curtail the crop and while near months shorts were very uneasy during the early trading the ap- pearanee of southern selling orders around the ring as soon as the wire service be- gar to improve evidently was reassur ing and helped the decline during the afternoon. Probably part of the early buying was inspired by apprehension that the talk of large proportion of low grade cotton in the crop would lead to a revision of differences at the meeting of the New York committee on Wednesday, which would make it more difficult to ten- der cotton on contract, and December deliveries were relatively firm both on the early advance and the subsequent re- action. Rumors of easier interior spot markets seemed to contribute to the weak ness in the afternoon, but the reaction seemed chiefly the result of the south. ern selling here in connection with realiz- ing or liquidation by early buyers who were probably disappointed that the bad weather reports had not created a more general or a more aggressive buying movement.

MIR. STARE SUES FOR
 BREACH OF PROMISE

l New York, November 13.-(Special.)- Edward Starz, champion gentleman rider of Austria" formerly a second lieutenant In the cavalry regiment of Vienna, today filed in the supreme court action for $25,000 damages against Miss Helen McMurray, daughter of c. r. McMurray, a wealthy retired man. ufacturer of Troy, N Y. The former army officer charges that Miss Me- Murray won his heart. promised to marry him and then tilted him with out even an explanation of her req sons for not keeping her promises.
 Starz is 27 years old, the son of a wealthy Vienna banker. The girl whom he claims caused him to sacrifice a promising career in the army to win her love is 22 and described as a beau- tiful society favorite.
 Startz is now living here with friends. Through his attorney, Hugh Ritterbusch, he today made the state ment: "The breach of promise suit would never have been started If was not convinced that Miss McMurrny has been unduly influenced against me by her parents. The action is brought as a last resort to get in communica- ton with her. I have tried my best to get a talk with her or reach her by letter but have not succeeded. If l can hear from her directly, though, the proceedings would be stopped. It Is not a question of money but of vindi- cation"
