pared with 7,Si5 953 bales ginned up to the same
date last year. The greatest total previously re-

The decline, however, carried December to 9.I2;
January Ss7; March, S4, and May to ao7, after
which the market became sluggish but displayed no
declining tendency and part Of the carly loss was
recovered before the Close.
Floor discussion on the report seemed to indicate
that the holding back movement OF the part Of
Southern planters together with the very large ex-
port demand which now prevails was a fair Offset

that before the end Of the current week more than

BY THOMAS c. sHOTwELL.

New York, Nov. S-Professional Wall
street indulged in liberal profit taking
to-day. but the market took it remark
ably well. A decline of points in Steel
is moderate considering the rapidity of
the advance from 50. 1t is the first re-
action the market has had since J. P.
Morgan & Co., as a firm, openly assumed
leadership. The movement upward has
been so impressive as to frighten the
bear party, and in to-days selling there
we're comparatively few short contracts.
Brokers have discovered that there is
public buying in the market. Commission
house business has been so good the last
week as to surprise the brokers They
can hardly realize that the public re-
fuses to be frightened at political devel-
opments. but such is the fact. In ad-
vancing the market Mr.. Morgan is MAX
ing an appeal to the sense of fair play
that the public often possesses.
Election returns pointed clearly to the
fact that the public will demand tariff
reform of a drastic nature, and will sup
port President Taft in his campaign
against the corporations. In view of this,
it seems like a paradox that the public
continues to buy stocks. The explanation
must be that the people do not believe
the government can dissolve any of the
FoTpOTdIOnS IN SuCn a way as 10 lnnlct
iamage on the stockholders.
Approves Reorganization Plan.
Announcement that the United States
Circuit Court of Appeals had approved
the plan of reorganization formulated by
the American Tobacco Company, with the
modification suggested by Attorney Cen
eral Wickersham. was not made until
late n the day, but it had been known
since Saturday that this would be done.
1t is, therefore, no surprise, and pos
sibly the profit taking that was SO gen

eral to-day was due to a belief that the
good news had been discounted.
Another influence favorable to the mar
ket, but for that very reason causing prof
it-taking sales, was the crop report issued
by the government on cotton, corn, and
potatoes. The cotton report shows the
greatest ginning in the history of cot
ton. The corn report shows material
improvement, with promise of almost
2,S0O,O 900 bushels. The potato crop,
which was 9OOOO,OOO bushels short in the
first report of the government, is now
less than 60,O00,0 900 bushels short of last
year. 1t is known unofficially that there
has been a remarkable late growth of
hay
Railroads Begin to Buy.
Encouraged by the movement Of the
crop situation, and by the equanimity OF
the stockholding public, the railroads
have begun to buy rails and other sup
plies. This encourages the steel COM
panies to believe that the long deferred
buying of the railroads is about to begin
in earnest.
Sharp advances were recorded in some
specialties. most notable of which was
National Biscuit, which advanced more
than six points, in expectation of an in
creased dividend. American Can pre-
ferred sold at the highest price in its
history, on repetition OF the ancient
story of something to be paid on ac-
count of the accumulated dividend. Ma
tional Lead preferred and Federal Smelt
ing moved up sharply.

nounCed a decrease in stocks of metal
on hand, and metal merchants are really
taking heart again. If business con-
tinues to improve as it is doing the de-
mand for metal should cause an advance
in the price of copper. Such is the hyp-
nOtism of a brilliant advance in the
stock market that even the oil companies
are talking of better times

AND REALTY

Yesterday was a good bond day on the
local exchange. Traction warrants were
much in demand and at slightly stiffening
prices. Other bond issues were strong.
and light trading in the stock list did not
show any pronounced weakness, though
some stocks eased off a little. =
Most of the Traction warrant sales were
at s 1-2 odd lots bringing SIS and 3-4. and
in one instance 9. The demand for these
warrants shows a ready market for good
1-2 per cent bonds, and the big interests
here are figuring largely in the buying.
The general trend of warrant activity
would seem to indicate that the price will
stay at s 1-2 or better, though heavy buy
ing at the end of the month, when the
rights expire, may hammer the price
down a little.
Gas fell of noticeably yesterday in the
face of an evident desire to sell. A large
block was offered at 81, and the best bid
during the call was a half point lower.
After call a couple OF small lots went
at Sc 1-2 and Sc 3-4, a new low record for
recent weeks.
Railway As brought out a better price
than usual, two $1,000 bonds going at
S5 5-S and IS 3-4. Consolidated 5s were
fairly steady, with the price at 10l is at
the opening, and the last two $1,000 bonds
selling at 101 even. Railway common was
tirmer. three quotation lots selling at
43 and 43 Is. fractional sale in pre-
ferred brought SO.
The demand for Lanston was stronger
than the supply, and the price went up
encouragingly. One sale of twenty
shares brought SO 3-4, and a second sale of
the same number of shares boosted the
price to the "a level.

TITLES IN GOOD SHAPE
Statement Printed Yesterday Said to
be Somewhat Misleading and
no Trouble viii Be
Encountered.

1t was stated in The Gate City yes
terday upon the authority obtained
from what was believed to be a re-
liable source, that the titles to the is
lands which will be overlooked when
the dam is completed are in question
and that before the Keokuk and Ham
ilton Water Power Company will pay
damage for the overflow of these is
lands. the claimants to the titles must
make good.
1t was stated at the water power
office today that this statement is
somewhat misleading and that the
titles to these islands. in SO far as
they have been investigated to date
are in very good shape. The owners
of the islands will undoubtedly re
ceive the same generous treatment
that the Water Power Company has
given to the land owners on botf
sides of the river with whom they
have already settled.
The Water Power company is nov
engaged in making surveys of the is
lands to be affected and Is makins
examinations of the titles. 1t II
thought that within six weeks thu
company will be ready to take up tn
