COTTON MARKET.

Quotations furnished by W. B. Ribbs & Co, meu
bers OF the New York Stock Exchange. Hibbs
Building.
New York, Oct. l5.-Somehins more than steadi-
ness was displayed in the cotton market to-day
The raIlying power which had been a feature Of
the trading on the preTious day became more de
cided this morning, when Liverpool cables diSap-
pointed the few bulls who Jet remain In trenches
There was further support. however, to save the
market from more than a temporary break, though
low records were established, and for a time some
Generalization appeared.
good weather map, far temperatures were
concerned IN the absence Of frost or storm formed
the basis Of the early decline in Liverpool On the
other hand, however, Southern spot markets re-
hected the efforts Of planters TO hold back their
cotton and the export movement continues on
large scale. The holding back movement may be
voluntary and according TO most information there
is a real intention Of planters to demand higher
prices for the staple. The giuners returns will
puctically decide TO what extent this movement
had been successful though many contentious
that the receipts small BY comparison with
some years because cotton cannot be sold.
II is proper TO call attention to the fact that
prices in New York to-day and the day previous
represented plantation prices very near cents per
pound There few years in the history Of cotton
when this price has failed to attract investment
buying and the trading to-day said TO include
large purchases made for investment By operators
who have heretofore been working fsF-a decline.
Liverpool futures closed very steady at 81 to 81
points net less for the day.
Manchester quoted yarns steady; cloths a fair
business doing. Sales Of 5000 bales of spot cotton
were reported from Liverpool to-day at 10 points

DR.. WILEY DOES NOT
BELIEVE IN FADS
Starvation Cult Condemned
by Pure Food Expert.

This country is full of faddists and
fads. II you want to have a following
just start something unusual, something
unreasonable, something mysterious
looking The truth is not wanted nor
welcome; it has no following; it is
thought unreasonable and uninteresting.
DR.. Harvey w. Wiley, food expert in
extraordinary to the American public,
thus declared at a lecture given last
night on Pure food and health" at the
Y. NJ. c. A. before a large and enthu-
slastic audience under the auspices of
the Home Exercise Club. The famous
chemist was introduced by former Com
missioner Macfarland, who when he re-
ferred to DR. Wiley's recent vindication
by President Taft, was vigorously ap-
plauded.
Dr. Wiley favors eliminating from the
curriculum of the public schools the study
of that barbarous system OF measures
and weights" He would put in its place
a system OF teaching the children how to
live; what food to eat. when and how. He
declared that such a system would re-
suit in a stronger and happier race and
naturally a stronger nation.

Market Opened Strong, Wnpered Around High
Figure, and Closed at Lowest Prices
of the Session.

New York, Oct 1S-With coffee and
wheat new high records for the year
and cotton options at new low record
prices, the stock market opened strong,
wavered around the high figures, turned
weak, and closed heavy at the lowest
prices Of the session. American Cotton
Oil distinguished itself with a break Of
more than 1--we points on reports that
the annual statement would show moth
ing earned on the common stock in the
past year. Beet Sugar was irregular
because Meavy selling orders were traced
to a tanking house identified for many
years with the management of the COM
pany.
Steel declined because Of a report that
the trust would cancel fine Great North
ern ore lease on account of which 1t has
already paid several millions without
getting anything in return. Union Pa
cifc and Reading yielded to a flood OF
professional selling, and Goldfeld Con-
solidated touched a new low record
price of 10. Railroads displayed much
more strength than industrials
There were the usual reports of what
Attorney General iCkersham would do
in the way Of making good his boast
that he had discovered 100 corporations
violating the Sherman antitrust law
One report went so far as to say that
he would bring suit against one of the
steel trust subsidiaries tomorrow morn
ing.
At the steel trust headquarters no in
formation could be obtained regarding
the proposed cancellation Of the Great
Northern ore lease. The contract be
tween the steel corporation and the Great
Northern for this ore is criticised by
giving the trust too much power in con-
ncCtiOn with ore and as placing an alb
surdly high fictitious value on iron ore
Iron producers, who have spent their
The Washington herald., 1911-10-19

lives buying and selling ore, say the
steel trust has been paying only fair
price for the Hill ore, but 1t is pre-
sumptuous for persons who have learns
ed what they know through experience
to pretend they know as much as a poll
tician who has spent almost two whole
years finding out things at first hand.
The Commissioner of Corporations
thinks ore is not worth more than about
Is cents a ton. This being so, cancella-
tion of this lease ought to be a bull
argument on Steel stock, for, II the Com
missioner of Corporations is right, the
trust is being robbed. At any rate, better
ore has been discovered in Canada since
the Hill ore lease was signed and per
haps the steel trust will be gamer If it
is forced to give up the lease.
The decline in Goldfield Consolidated is
due to ;he Fact that for the month of
September earnings were S4J0,000 as COM
pared with s65O,OOO the previous month.
The insiders long ago adopted the pol
icy of refusing to support the stock in
the market being satisfied they could
make more money by standing on their
holdings and 'eCeiving dividends.
The cause for the reduced earnings in
September was that development was
passed through a large volume OF low
grade ore, a thing that has often been
done in the history of the mine. AS the
company is not operating for the stock
market, It went ahead and treated the
ore, as taken from the mine. in the
usual way, although there was high
grade ore that could easily have been
added in sufficient volume to keep the
earnings up to normal. At the end Of
September the workings got through
this low grade ere. and from the first
of this month high-grade ore is being
encountered again, so that the insiders
have no apprehensions regarding the
property, which is now selling at less
than its known value, figured on ore re-
serves. either actually blocked out or
known IN exist

with the McNamaras and David Caplan
for completely in the blowing up of the
Los Angeles Times Building The sub
poena was issued by Deputy District At

plant in Giant, Cal.
When court adjourned this afternoon
seven veniremen had been passed by the
d. Tense two were held over pending a
ruling by Judge Bordwell on the qualifl-
cation Of opinIonated jurors, and another
was under examination. George W. Nc
Kee, temporarily passed yesterday, was
further questioned. and upon his declara-
tion that ne was prejudiced against labor
unions was challenged. The prosecution
resisted the challenge, and Judge Bord-
well took 1t under advisement. The case
is Identical with that brought in the q.
T. Nelson case, and 1t is of the utmost
Importance. A decision will probably be
handed down in the morning. Otto A.
Jessen, an alfalfa farmer of Gardena,
was caught in the same net, and his case
will be decided with Mckee.
A decision in favor of the prosecution
will add two more Jurors to those passed
on by the defense, making a total of
nine. When twelve are passed, the prose-
cution will take up the examination, and
then peremptory challenges will be alter

Dollar Bills Scarce.

The annual scarcity OF 81 bills has
made itself felt at the Treasury Depart
ment. With 900 in silver lying in
the Treasury, the officials are unable to
meet the demand, because the appropri-
alton for paper is exhausted. The an
nual demand for bills of this denomina-
tion comes about harvest time, when
the small bills are needed to move crops
All the subtreasUries are crying for the
bills, but what few the Treasury has at
its disposal are being shipped out to the
agricultural communities.
