EXPECT ACTIVITY IN THE COTTON MARKET. Issue Reports on Opening
 Session SHORTS PARTICIPANT Condition Report Is Expected To Be Below Last Manufacturing
 Figures Will Be Larg-
 est on Record

New Orleans, October 1.-The cotton market this week promises much activity On the opening session the last condition report of the season by the agricultural department and the second ginning report of report by the census bureau will be issued. Both of these reports prom ise to favor the short side War news and the unfolding of the spot situation ought to keep the market nerved attef the reports are out of the way.
 The condition report is expected to be bearish compared with the reports of the past year and the 10 year average but It may not be as bearisn compared with last month, as the short side has been ex- pectng. For time the tendency was to look for an improvement of about one point in the condition of the crop during September but toward the end of last week the tendency was the other way and the concensus of opinion pointed to a falling off of one, and possibly two points from last months condition Of i3.2 per cent of the normal. This would still leave very high condition. A year ago the condition was 65.9 and two years ago it was 5S.5. Probably loss of two points or more would be dscouraging to the bear side. 8A
 The census figures on ginning, 1t IS admitted even by the bulls, will be the largest on record. Estimates run all the way from S,OOO0OO to 3600,OO0 bales. Com servative opinion seems to range from B. COG. 900 to 33O0,O0o bales. Weather condi- tions have been ideal for maturing ana picking the crop and many gins have been running night and day for some tune rast, which ought to result in very large output. A year ago the ginning amounted to 2302.211 bales and two years ago to 2, ,56S, 1oO Probably figures of 30oo.ooo or under would work against the bear side but anything over 3.30O,0o0 ought to give the bears the advantage.
 News concerning the operations Of Itaiy against Turkey will be eagerly read by the market this week, not so much be- cause the war itself is regarded as fac- tor affecting the cotton market, but be- cause of the fear that European political complications will result. The slightest hint on any such thing will work against values.
 With the September position out Of tie way, it is expected that the spondeman will improve, especially in the English market. If it does not. the weight Of spot cotton will begin to press on tie markets, if it does. bulls may be given the courage to become aggressive buy

REV. URQUHART TO
 LEAVE GERARD
Headless Body of Negro Desperate Found Adrift in River By
 Steamboat Crew

Grard October .-tSpecial)-The Rev. II. B. Urquhart, who has been serving First church in this city for the past year, has been transferred to the Central Texas conference, where he will go to take up the work about October 30 The Rev Urquhart is native Alabamian, but has been in the west for a great many years till lately. He is prominent ly connected in Birmingham, Montgom- cry and Selma.
 An incoming boat from down the river points brings the word that the headless body of Oscar Mills, desperate negro, was seen near Fort Gaines. Mills got into some trouble here some two months since and ran over one of the local officers and got away, turning up later at Fora Gaines, Ga., where he was again in the clutches of the law, but getting the drop on the sheriff, killed him and ran away. A posse followed him at this time but nothing had ever been heard of him till today.
 The enrolment in the city schools has become heavy enough to require the ad- Gition of another teacher in Central school. Miss Byrd of Summervile was elected to fill the need and will have charge of the third grade, which has for merly been under the second and fourth grade teacher. This arrangement fills every room of the magnificent new school and shows how badly Girard needs the county high school.
