STEADY TONE IN
 COTTON MARKET.
Fluctuations i'll the Market Were More of Less
 Irregular

New York, october 25-Today's report by the census bureau showing the amount of cotton ginned to October IS, to have been 7,740,634 bales or the largest on rec ord by a very considerable margin, prov ed quite as bearish as expected, but ap- peared to be the signal for more or less general covering and while fluctuations in the local market were more or less irregular the close was steady at a net advance to G points.
 The opening was steady with prices ln- changed to points lower which was about as due on the cables. The census figures were most generally considered as pointing to very large crop but their publication was followed by heavy real- izing on the part of old shorts or recent sellers and prices almost immediately worked higher.
 The advance was checked when tile ac- tive months showed a net gain of about Il to B points and there was enough realizing by early buyers for turn to cause reaction to about, or shade un- der the closing figures of yesterday, but l around 9 cents for January the market
 
 pressure as 1t has done at that level for the past several days, and prices later improved again on the outlook for frost in the western belt and reports that 8 tropical storm was heading toward the cotton belt from the northeastern coast of Cuba. Last prices were to points off from the best under scattered selling which may have been partly inspired by expectations that Liverpool would reflect a bearish foreign trade interpretations Of the census figures tomorrow morning. The feature from the trading standpoint was the activity of southern buying here but this was quite generally attributed to profit taking by speculative shorts and while some local traders believe that the market Is attracting a little around the 9 cents level, the bulk of today's buying was supposed to reflect a deduction in the outstanding short interest. The census | figures were made the basis for crop es- | timations, ranging from 100000 to over l 15,000,000 bales as the ginning to october IS during previous years has reported from | 3S to 55 per cent of the total yield, but | only twice on record has the ginning to ' this date been more than 50 per cent of | the total.
 l Receipts 73,551 bales against S7S56 last | week and 5S,935 last year. Todays re- i ceipts at New Orleans, S965 bales, against COTS last year, and at Houston, 14611 bales against 11,707 last year.

Thompson Gets Out of Jail

Russellville, October 25-(Specal)--A sensational get away that takes the cake for nerve and audacity let Harvey Thompson, white prisoner, out Of the jail here yesterday morning. The sheriff had two boys in jail whom he was to carry to the reform school at Birmingham on the early morning train. Thompson end the two boys were the only prisoners in jail. Taking his prisoners out the sheriff failed to lock the door securely and Thompson had no trouble opening it after packing his grip and waiting till the sheriff's train was gone Thompson cooly walked down the stairs and went into Mrs. Berry's, the jailor's room, told her the sheriff had turned him out on his own recognizance; that he was going out to his fathers house. After thank ing her for her kindness to him and bidding her good bye the escape cooly walked through town and out to freedom, Mrs. Berry never dreaming anything was wrong until a deputy came an hour or two later.
 When the slick trick was discovered a vigorous man hunt was at once or Ganized, so far without result. Thomp- son was indicted for stealing mule from tine rack here in Russellville about a year ago. The first indictment was de- fective
 While the grand jury was acting on new one Thompson skipped out his bondsmen. Finding out later they were still liable under the bond for Thomp- sons appearance they got busy. The es- cape was finally located at Dalton, Ga, where he was arrested and brought here reaching here only Sunday

WHEAT MARKET
 SHOWS DECLINE
Reports of Heavy Argentine Harvest Affect Lower
 Quotations

Chicago, October 25.-Assertions that the Argentine harvest; now almost at hand, will prove so abundant that scar city elsewhere can work no harm, sent the wheat market to lower level. The close was 1ac to 5sc under yesterday.
 Other leading staples too showed jet decline all around corn ssQ11ssa1ac 10 1 and hog products Sc to 10c.
 The flattering outlook for the wheat crop in Argentina attracted special att tention because of dispatches from Liver pool telling of cheaper offers from South America. It was pointed out tlIat nearly million more acres were under cuti- vation in the Argentine than ever be- fore, and that even aside from the in- crease of planting the prospect was bet ter than for. many years. Further dis couragement for the bulls resulted from improved weather conditions in the north west and from less favorable advices in regard to the milling situation in that region.
 The snowfall and cold both sides of the Canadian line and the gulf warning were expected to lead to a large increase in marketings. the usual thing after a freeze up. At the same time the prevailing high prices for flour were said to have shut off demand for that commodity to a ma terial extent. Altogether it was a bear day clear through to the end, notwlth- standing the final tone was comparatively steady Between the opening and the close December ranged from $1.007s to s1.015s with last sales, $1.01ls, a net loss of lsc.
 Fine weather instead of predicted rains over the corn belt made the market for that cereal break in vigorous fashion. There was much hedging of futures here by interior owners who had refused high CT prices December swung between G4c and 6514c, closing weak at the lowest point reached, net decline of 1as@11ac. Cash grades were only in moderate de- mand. Number 2 yellow was quoted at 74&@75c. Unloading by longs formed the order of the session in oats. Shipping trade was slightly outside limits predict ed. These limits touched by December, 4I34c and 473sc with the close at the last named figure, or drop of ssd1ac from last night.
 Western packers selling against pros- pective output brought about a decline in pork. lard and ribs. The average fall was 71a cents.

Fair Onens at Selma

Selma, October 25.-(Special.)-The fair of the Central Alabama Fair association opened yesterday. The attendance at the opening day was the largest ever seen here upon similar occasion. The fair opened with a large parade, which strung along many city blocks. In it were many automobiles, public and private vehicles, in which rode state, city and county of ficials, as well as Central Alabama Fair association officials.
 Following the arrival of the parade upon the grounds the exposition was opened after a short address by Hon. Reuben F. Kolb, commissioner of agri- culture of Alabama. The attendance at the opening of the fair was most grat- flying to the management. The exhibits are the best that have ever been dis played and are revelations to the visitors. The corn palace of the state department of agriculture will prove one of the most attractive features of the fair,

Hubbard Bros. X Co.'S Letter

New York October 25.-England is very uneasy over the attitude of the, railway employees on the first decision against un'on management of their railways, both public and private advices report that merchants consider the outlook for an- other strike 6 serious one.
 The Ginners' returns show practically 7,750, ,OO0 bales ginned-nearly million and a half above the record for the same date Rumors are current of storm northeast of Cuba, liable to move north west. A belief that spinners are likely to become large buyers on the basis of Sc had more influence than the size of the crop, as indicated by the report to- day, and many of the local traders have been large buyers all day, on the idea that the market has been around that basis for ten days, without showing any pressure of cotton. and which should be taken as an indication that no immediate decline Is probable. On this demand we close 8 points higher and Liverpool should be one point up tomorrow.

QUEER ACTIONS IN
 LOCAL MARKETS Dealers Think Poultry and Eggs Will Probably Be
 Lower Soon

The local markets acted queerly yester- day. Half of them went ono way and half the other, in point of trade.
 The meat and flour and foodstuffs deal CTS reported that trade was brisk and business good, but not enough to warrant q change in prices either way. In the poultry aud eggs market business was 4 little dull, and dealers are of the opinion that if prices change in the near future they will be for the lower. They seem to think that they have about reached the high water mark. In the fruits and produce market deai- CTS syate that owing to the nearness or the close of the month business is slack, but will pick up the beginning of Novem- Der with some strength.
 The cotton market dropped a quarter of a cent yesterday, middling now being quoted at S24.

New Orleans Cotton

New orleans, October 25.--Cotton fu- lures opened steady, unchanged to 2 points higher than yesterdays close. Ca- bias were not up to expectations. The census report on ginning of T,740.00 bales just about met popular estimate and had little influence on the market. There was something of an oversold feeling in evidence and shopts who tried to buy cov- CTS put prices up on themselves. Ring traders went long for turn and at the end of the first half hour of business. prices were , to points over yesterdays final quotations.
 The market was quiet throughout the entire morning session. Up to the middle of the morning there was constant buying and this the gossip of the market put down to short account. Prices went 9 to fl points over yesterdays close. Reports from Mississippi mills that buyers of cloths in China were cancelling orders in- duced fresh short selling and late In the morning prices were sent 3 to F points down from the highest, standing to 3 points over yesterdays final quotations.

Frost Delays Cotton Picking

Eufaula, October 25.-(Speeial.)-The frost of yesterday morning will delay it is thought, the work of picking cotton. as the farmers will be com pelled to house their more perishable crops, such as sugar cane, potatoes, etc., wherein the acreage is regarded larger than usual. Cotton fields sur rounding the city are in a. great meas ure as white as ever and in numbers of cases large areas have never been picked, and in the event a rainy neriod should set in it would mean q great loss. The crop in this section is regarded fully one-third greater than last year, and a scarcity of hands has heen complained of everywhere.

|STOCK MARKET RATHER QUIET Only Change Is the Ab- sence of the Firm Tone
 of the Market

New York, october 25.--The securities market remained today in a suspended state. Prices were virtually on a dead level. The only noticeable change was that the market lost the firm tone which has charaeterized it latelyG, Interest was centered upon the progress of the contest over the American Tobacco reorganization plan which in the opinion of some traders Is tho pivot of the present situation. 1
 News that the parent company had de- ternnined to release it's hold upon a dis contented subsidiary was received with favor as the step, removed one source Of determined opposition to the scheme of the reorganization. This influence was offset, however, by the filing in court of the protest of independents and the continued conference between the Attorney General and interests Dissatisfied with the present b1 pr, posals.
 The present stagnation of the market is illustrated by the fact that Union Pa cific, one of the leaders, closed on last Saturday, Monday and Tuesday at the same price, and ended todays session only a small fraction above it.
 United States Steel seemed to be in a vulnerable position. Republic Steel showed tho greatest weakness, tho common yield ing and the preferred points. Heavi- ness of these stocks was attributed to trade prospects. Orders within the last fortnight have decreased materially

Atchi- son's September statement showed a fall ing off of more than $400,00o in net earn ings. the larger part of which was due to heavier operating expense.
