COTTON MART
QUIET TILL !
Gin REPORT
Trade Waiting on Census Bureau
Bulletin Which viii Issue
Wednesday

lBy Associated Press.l

| New .rleans, Nov 6.-The first oil
| this week in the cotton market prom
ises to be as quiet as last week was,
chiefly because the trade win he wait
ing on the report on ginning by tnu
census bureau to November l. Ihls
report will be published at O'Clock,
New Areans time, Wednesday morn
ing. Thus far, the market has not
cme to any very decided opinion as
to what the figures will be except
that they will be somewhere between
nine million and ten million bales,
with sentiment favoring the larger
rather than the smaller amount.
After the ginners' returns are
known, the trade will be bound to
pay special attention to the Noyem-
ber spot demand. BY that time there
will be plenty of opportunity to find
out il it is going to be larger than us
ual.
November usually is bad month,
but the bulls have claimed much for
| it this fall and it is said that freight
engagements are large enough to war
rant the assertion that exports this
month will be big. Apparently con-
firming this opinion is the rumor that
ocean freight rates socn will be adj
vanced
BY the first of the week, the mark
ct will be flooded with reports of what
| the cold spell of the last week did
| but it is hardly probable that these
will affect prices to any great extent
although they ought to have a steady
influence. The majority of cotton
men have come to the conclusion that
this crop, was altogether too early to
be injured seriously by cold weather
Al the same time the top crop in the
more northern portions of the belt
was hit by frost and reports of this
ought to have some effect.
The Chinese situation will be
watched closely because of the many
reports of cancellation Of orders oi
cloths by the importers These can
cellations it is claimed by the bears
have become an item of Importance
to many southern mills, as well as
to the mills of Lancashire and il
anturally will be claimed tnat cancel
lations are on the increase if the re-
| bellion in China grows to larger pro
portions. Gables from Shanghai on
| the weekend said that business in
clothes was not good.
The time is fast approaching when
! more conservative crop estimates
will coem out. The government esti-
mate is less than a month away and
by the end of theweek, several import.
ant private guesses should be pub
lished.

Formal Appeal That United

(By Associated Press.)

Washington, Nov. 6--Italian Bar
barities" in Tripoli have been brought
to the attention of the American gov
ernment in such form that a declara'
| ton of the position of the state de-
| partment in the matter NOW is eX
lpected The subject was broached
/ first in the course of verbal state
ment by the Turkish ambassador to
Acting Secretary Adee, ana later in
the day in the shape OF letter,
In each case the ambassador, who
declared he was acting by express
cabled instructions from his govern
ment described in detail the acts at
tributed to the Italian troops and pro-
tested in the name OF humanity
against the alleged barbarities in
flicted upon helpless women and chill
dren and non-combatants by the in
furiated Italian soldiers.
by order of his government the am.
bassador appealed to the United
States to exert itself in putting a
stop To practices that he declared
were in plain violation of the rules
of warfare and in contravention OF
Hague convention to which the Unit
ed States and italy arep arties. Act
ing Secretary Adee promised to sub
nit the protest to Secretary Knox,
who is absent from Washington.
He declared the Italians are not
only violating the sacredness of mod
ern Jaws but also the most element
ary rules of civilization and humanity
in shooting down the natives who
have properly enlisted and even the
innocent women and children on mere
suspicion-not to mention those de
ported by thousands.
The following from the Turkish
foreign office was transmitted to the
state department. This is regarded
as of great Importance because it Tor
mally demands Intervention by the
United States. It reads as follows;
"The Italian atrocities in Trlpoli
being confirmed officially and from
every quarter, beg your excellency
to insist upon necessity OF prompt
efficient intervention in order TO pu'
an end Immediately to these inhum-
an proceedings.

Washington, d. c., Nov. 6.-The
spot on the parapet of old Fort Stew
ems where President Lincoln stood ex-
posed to Confederate fire at the time
of attack by General Early on Wash
ington in July, 1864, is to be marked
by huge memorial boulder.
The ceremonies incident to the
placing of the boulder and dedicating
it to the memory of Lincoln will take
place November Z, the forty
anniversary of his second election.
President Lincolns presence on the
defenses where General Early made
his fiercest attack on Washington out
posts is an important incident in the
history of the preservation of the fed
eral capital and the exact spot where
he stood has been located by officers
who took part in the battle. His pres
ence among the troops inspired tnem
to greater efforts.
Early's dash on Washinntog was
one of the daring enterprises of the
great war. The North was waiting

July fought the battle OF Monocacy

and second divisions of the sixth ar
my corps had been ordered UP from

troops of Grant to reach Washington

July 10. In the meantime every man
that could be utilized for the defense
Of the capital had been pressed into

Washington were drawn on for con

The Danes were good fighting men,. and they had gone to England from their
