TWO MORE BODIES
 ARE RECOVERED

Austin, Pa, October 9.-lThe recovery and Identification of two additional bodies and the clearing up of considerable wreck age yesterday feature the flood situa- ton. Out of a total of "A believed to have perished 62 have been taken from the ruins. The bodies recovered were those of Mrs. William C. Harvey and her daughter, Mrs. George Beebe.
 The action of 800 employees of the Renova car shops of the Pennsylvania railroad who came here voluntary from Williamsport, Pa, and assisted in remov- ing the great piles of debris was a beau tiful tribute.
 The men arrived early this morning on a special non-revenue train furnished by the railroad officials. They worked stead- fly throughout the hours and made con siderable progress. With them they brought their own food. Tired and hap py the volunteer workmen left for their homes tonight with a plan afoot where upon each man employed in the Renova shops numbering 1000 to contribute 100 cents for the relief of the homeless.
 An electric light system was establish ed late. No attempt was made to work tonight but starting tomorrow morning work will be pushed day and night.

New Orleans Cotton Market

New Orleans, October 9.-Cotton futures opened steady, unchanged to points up, compared with the close of Saturday. Cables were lower than expected and called for decline of the best part of 10 points in this market. but no atten- ton was paid to them owing to the un- favorable appearance of the weather map, which showed cloudy and much colder weather all over the cotton belt. with more or less rain in some important sec tions. Light frost was reported in Okla homa. All of this caused much uneasi- ness among shorts, who started covering as soon as the market opened. At the end of the first half hour of business prices were to 13 points over Saturdays close.
 In the afternoon sessions the markets had an easy undertone Selling was gen. eral. At o'clock the trading months were 12 to F points under Saturdays close.
 On the advance selling became heavy It was the gossip of the market that southern planting interests were among the best sellers of contracts which was taken to mean that the spot demand was still slow. Strong shorts increased their lines and bull interests that around the opening were heavy buyers withdrew their support The forecast for the vest ern half of the cotton belt promised warmer weather, thereby removing all fear of frosts in the immediate future. Prices fell off until at nc|n the trading

COUNTRY FARES
 GALORE IN GEORGIA
States Resources Are Being Dis played in Principal Towns
 and Cities

Atlanta. October 9.-(SpeciaD Planning to show the resources of Georgia to the people of the state, fairs galore have been given and are now being given in different cities.
 A splendid fair has just been given at Triton, Ga. at which thousands of people were entertained, and number of big days enjoyed. A large party of Atlaatans went down one day for Atlanta day.
 The Macon fair opened on Monday, and tic DeKalb county fair will open on Tuesday. In Macon the agricultural re- sources of the state are abundantly shown. There are 12 county agricultural exhibits, 100 individual displays, 100 corn club exhibits and others. There are many freak agricultural displays, one of them showing cotton of many colors. The boil weevil is also represented by display showing the injury this pest does to the cotton of the south.
 Governor Smith had made all arrange ments to go with his staff to Macon, ac- companied by big party of Atlantans on Wednesday, but it is probable that this trip may be given up owing to the fact that there was a death in the family of the governor on Sunday This death kept him out of the peace monument nn- yelling exercises The DeKalb county fair at Decatur. opens on, Tuesday. It had been at first intended to open the fair with speeches in the morning after a parade. but later on 1t was determined, in view of the mil itary parade in Atlanta, to postpone the speaking until the afternoon

RALLY MADE IN
 WHEAT MARKET Even Up Trades in Prepara- ton for Government
 Crop Report

Chicago, October 9.-Evening up Of trades to be prepared for the govern ment crop report rallied the wheat market today from depression due to better weather northwest. The close was shade to 1sc higher than Sat urday's close. Corn showed a net loss of kQAc to A@asc.
 Oats finished sixteenth off to a like amount up and hog products varying from 21lc decline to an equal ad- vance.
 As expected, government spring wheat figures were slightly bullish. It was not definitely known, however until trading ceased. Most of the day a heavy tone prevailed. the result largely of hedging sales from the northwest. Besides the edge was off the cash market.
 The main factor most of the time, however, was the idea that better weather In the American and Canadian northwest would permit a renewal of threshing and hasten the forward movement of the crop.
 December fluotuated between 97$ c and 97%c. closing firm at 97ac, a gain of 1sc.
 In corn guesses about the govern ment report went wrong, 1t being bull ish. A condition percentage better than n had been looked for, whereas the news from Washington said 70.4 per cent.
 Better weather and large offerings from the country controlled the mar ket and bent prices down. December ranged from 63% to GAS @64Mc, clos ing steady, A o asc net lower at 641sc. Cash grades were easy. No. yellow finished at 71A @71 Rc.
 On account of an erroneous belief that the government figures regarding oats would be practically the same as month ago the market was steady. The report proved bearish, indicating also a bushel an acre an average gain. High and low levels touched by De- lcember were 47ac and 474sc, with the close shade higher at 47ssc.
 Higher prices for hogs made provi- sions firm. In the end, however, no change could be noted in pork, lard or ribs, more than 19c either way from Saturday.
 Future o1otations were IS follows.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter

New York; october 9.-(Special. .)-Again we have the familiar weakness in Liver pool under southern offerings followed by a better market here on demand from spinners and from those who felt that the market should become steady at these prices. Both these buyers were overborne by the orders from the south to sell to hedge cotton in hand, either from fac tors, buyers or southern spinners, who have not sold much goods as they have bought cotton.
 It seems impossible for the market to stand up against these offerings, for so long as the weather continues good it is only the price that induced people to buy and each day that seeks the lower level on the southern selling. We can not see any danger from frost on the map for the remainder of the week. Yet we think the market should be q little bet ter tomorrow. Liverpool should come g to 10 points lower tomorrow.

COTTON MARKET
 CONTINUES WEAK Another Set of New Low Records Is Established
 in New York

New York, October 9.-The cotton market was weak and unsettled agalh today and another set of new low rec ords was established with october and January contracts selling below the 91sc level. The close was barely steady at a net decline of 1S@22 points. The opening was steady at decline of l 10 6 points in response to over Sunday selling orders from the south and the indifferent showing of Liverpool, but there seemed disposition among spec ulative shorts to cover and shortly after the call prices sold up to a net ad- vance of about points on the active positions The weather map showed light frost al Oklahoma City, while rains were reported on open cotton In Georgia. There was nothing, however, to suggest killing temperatures any where in the belt; the western belt forecast was for warmer weather to- morrow and when it was seen that the early demand from shorts, although heavy, was being readily supplied by the continued southern hedge selling, the market turned easier. Reports of a SLACK ITa0e OI td5loi CootohAi belt spot markets and rumors of cuts in the price of cotton goods added to the aggressiveness of the selling later, early buyers seemed to be liquidating their cotton and putting out fresh lines and while covering was active enough to cause slight rallies from time to time during the afternoon the general ten dency of the market was downward with October cotton selling at 9.41c, December at 95Sc and January at 9.40c during the late trading. Closing prices were couple of points up from the lowest on December, but at the low rec ords on the general list. Some of the earliest wires from the south reported that the country was holding cotton on more important scale, but the con- tinued selling here by houses with southern connections was supposed to be in the way of hedging spotterings in excess of immediate demand.
 Receipts today were 7S,595 bales against 66.271 last week and 72,633 last year. Today's receipts at New Orleans were APP bales against 71S0 last year, and at Houston 22,012 against S4,534 last year.

 GOOD IMPETUS
  Produce Receipts on Morris Avenue Yesterday Were ! Unusually Large |

The fall in temperature gave quite an impetus to business on Morris ave- nue Monday, and as a result the usual tranquility on that day was missing. Al- most every merchant seemed to be do-, ing an excellent business. The produce. businhss, winch is being deteriorated somewhat by the Fair, was as active as that in other lines of trade, but produce receipts were exceptionally large, among which were a. car load of celery and . car of California grapes.
 Poultry is again a little scarce on the avenue. Eighteen cents per pound is ths price asked for young chickens, which ia strengthening considerably as g. result of an increased demand. The demand for eggs is rather weak, prices lowering around 20 cents per dozen.
