Cement Z aIk No. 7

Newspapers print near
ly every day the story of
some fire disaster involv-
ing the complete destruction
OF great property values and
sometimes the loss of human
lives. The annual fire losses of the
United States are measured by the
millions; in fact, it is stated that over
two hundred and fifty million dollars
the United States last year. While it is true
that the precautions to prevent fire and fire
fighting systems are often inadequate, the
main trouble lies in -Jfimy, non tfreproof
binding confirmation. Experience has proved
that freproof construction is both practicable
and economical. In some industries freproof
building is compelled by law. Reinforced
concrete has come to the front as the most
important agent in building against fire. The
use of cement in building is becoming more
and more common, due TO its fireproofneSS,
durability and economy When building any,
thing from the back porch steps to an Office
building, concrete construction may be safely
adopted. The use of UniVeryai Portland
Cement in the concrete will insure cement of the
best quality possible to manufacture. UniUsr-
sal is handled everywhere by the best dealers

A few friends of the uni versity gave the visiting members lunch con at the Greensboro hotel. Thomas E. Knight is the only Greensboro member of the board.

COTTON MARKET <.
 SHOWS DECLINE Failure of FrOsts Causes Renewal of General
 Selling

New York, october 1.-The failure of the predicted frosts to materialize in the western belt, prospect for more favor- able Wea ther tomorrow and unfavorable trade reports from Manchester, where it vas reported orders for forward shipment of cotton goods were being cancelled, caused a renewal of general selling in the cotton market today and new low records were established with October and January contracts selling below the 9 cent level. The close was barely steady at net decline of to F points.
 The market opened steady at an ad- vance of to 10 points with the near months relatively firm in response to higher Liverpool cables and uneaslness as to weather conditions owing to the posting of storm signals along the Texas coast east of Corpus Christi and low tenn peratures in tho northern part of Texas. Offerings were very heavy on the initial advance however, private advices from the southwest indicating that there had been no frost in the cotton country and following the publication of the western belt forecast for generally fair weather tonight and tomorrow, the market turned easier
 Private cables claiming that the troubles in China were finding a rehec- tion in the Manchester market adminis- tered to the bearishness of sentiment and the market soon broke through the point of resistance previously encountered around the cent level, with stop orders uncovered just below that price for Jan uary. Covering was heavy enough to check the decline around S.95c for that po- stion and subsequent fluctuations were mere or less irregular, but rallies were barely maintained and closing prices were not more than to 9 points up from the lowest on the active months. Compara- lively few advices were received from the south to the spot situation in the in- torior, but the continued southern selling here was probably taken as refiecting of- fcrings in excess of immediate trade de- mand and the buying responsible for the late improvement appeared to be chiefly m the way of covering of shorts, although there was moderate demand during the day from trade sources. Receipts today. 93,504 bales, against 111,419 last week and @, ,76S last year.
