at the old rate.
Thus the move brought into the Golfers of the
company large amount of ready cash and will
secure for them considerable advance in the
future. From the view point of the managers
of the company it was not a bad deal that was
pulled off''-assuming that they can get away"

Electrified Children

From the Dietetic and Hygienic Gazette.
 Interesting Investigations into the ef- fects of electricity upon the development of school children have recently been made in Stockholm. The walls and ceil- ings of school room were lined with a coil of wires through which high fre- quency current was passed. The children in the room were thus in the position of an iron core in the center of magnetic ing coll. TN
 Fifty children were kept in this room, while 50 others of the same average age. size and mental development were kept in an adjoining room without electrical treatment. It is stated that at the end ef six months the children under electrical treatment showed an average growth cf two inches, while those without electricity grew only one and quarter inches.
 The electrified children showed an in- crease in weight and other forms of 1e- velopment in proportion to their height. The electrified children also showed an average proficiency in their studies of 92 per cent. and 15 of them showed 100 per cent The unelectrified children. on the other hand, were only 70 per cent prof. cieut on the average, and not one of them reached 100 per cent.
 It s added that the electrified children appeared to be much brighter. quicker and more active. They were prompter in attendance and much less subject to fa- tigue. The teachers also showed superior working capacity in the electrified room. While there was an odor of ozone in the room, 1t was held that the presence of ozone would not account for the results observed.

 CONTINUED QUIET Fluctuations Narrow With Close Barely Steady.
 Opens at Advance

New York. November ts.-The cotton market continued very quiet today, with fluctuations narrow and with the close barely steady, net points lower to point higher. Late months were relatively firm and seemed to attract some demand from houses with continental connections.
 The market opened steady at an advance of point to a decline of point. Liver pool was a shade better than due, not withstanding the reports of curtailmenr In Manchester as q result of unfavorabe conditions in the China trade and the steadiness of the cables caused some scat tered covering for over the week end and the census report which is due at the opening of the market next Tuesday Shorts found plenty of cotton offering around the initial figures, however. and the market soon eased off in the absence of any aggressive demand, with Decem- Der leading the decline on rumors hat the concentrated long interest in that po- sitlon had been materially reduced of late and that larger shipments were to be ex- pected hero from the south. Offerings were partly In the way of scattering liqui-
 
 there was nothing either in tho action of the market or in the general news to in- dicate any material change in the attt- tude of interior holders. British board of trade returns for the month of October made very favorable showing indicating a big business with China, and thus fur nishing an explanation of the recently rel atively firm tone of the English market, but the statement was modified by pres- ent unfavorable reports regarding the China situation, and reviews of domestic trade conditions suggested no increased activity. Some of the private wires e. ceived from eastern belt points claimed that the interior was offering low grades more freely, but such reports were by no means general and attracted compara- lively little attention during the short ses- sion.
 Receipts at the ports today. 10000, against 75,2S9 last week. and 52,926 last year. For the week, 450,000, against 456, 123 last week, and 397, 49S last year. To- days receipts at New Orleans, 15,3S0, against 13,796 last year, and at Houston 17,736, against 12,633 last year.

COMMISSIONERS
 FORCE MARKET UP Through Efforts to Undo Big Spread, Make Wheat
 Shorts Anxious

Chicago, November 1S.-Efforts of a group of commission houses to undo a big spread made wheat shorts anxious today and forced the market up. The close was hc to 5s@Ac higher than last night. Corn finished a shade to A@ssc down; oats off 1-16@ hc and provisions at 5@12hc decline.
 Buying of December wheat, which day after day has frightened shorts. became still more assiduous this morn- ing and led to some rather persistent Investigation. As a result it was an- nounced that the purchasing had been done by a combination of commission houses trying to get rid of spread. They had December sold and May bought. Shorts who had been in a furry were partly respited, but meanr while the market had been carried up grade several degrees. Altogether de- velopments proved too ono sided en- tirely for bears, and caused 8 firm tone at the windup. May ranged from s1.ooA e 1.oos4 with last sales 14 e 9sc net higher at s1.001a.
 In the corn pit buyers held off, hop ing that the good weather would bring larger receipts next week. Eastern de- mand was only moderate. May fluctu- ated from 64a4 @65isc; closing easy at 1sc net lower at 647sc. Cash grades were weak; No. yellow old was quoted at 761a Q77c.
 Week end cutting down of holdings by local longs had depressing effect on oats. The market followed corn most of the day. High and low levels touched for December delivery were 501sc and 49Nc, with the close 1s O 14e off at 50c fiat.
 Tho enormous run of hogs west. more than 25,O00 greater for the week than the corresponding time a year ago counted against values of packing house products. Tonight pork showed net loss of 7,s @1oc to 121sc and lard and ribs decline of F @l0c.

Spare the Doves

From the Poughleepsie News-Press.
 The turtle doves are great feeders on tho seeds of weeds. and do much to pro- tect growing crops from harm through the ravages of those weeds on the seeds Of which they feed. The government Bio- logical Survey, in conducting it's investi. gntion to determine the economic value of these birds, found in the stomachs of three turtle doves 2s.1O0 hawkweed seeds. with the seeds of several other kinds of weeds which have caused the farmer in- conveniences and expense during a larger portion of the crop growing season. These birds arc much more effective as q weed exterminating force than an army of men with hoes and weeders. because the best that man can do Is to keep the weeds in check to a certain extent. while the seed Gevoured by the bird Is destroyed and pre- vented from taking root. It Is estimated that the natural increase of these birds. if they were allowed to multiply without interruption, would save the American farmer at least s5oo.0oo.0oo year.

CT too much cold and rain being shown in the cotton country and this prevented a decline after the opening. shorts bought moderately to even up over sun day and this was about all the support the market had, but 1t proved enough to hold it steady and to put prices l point over yesterdays close at the end or the first hour of business.
 Around the middle of the morning shorts began to put out fresh lines in a moderate way on the forecast or faiI' weather over Sunday for the cotton re- zion. Prices responded to the pressure in rather grudging way, but the small decline that was brought about was suf- ficient to scare out weak longs and tt cir offerings helped along the bears
 Houses with New York connections had good selling orders to fill and it vas the gossip of the floor that large traders in the New York market were heavy sellers here. At the lowest of the morning, prices were to 7boints under yesterdays final quotations.

Weekly Cotton Review

New Orleans, November 1S.-The net results of this weeks trading in the cotton market were a decline of to 10 points. It was a&quiet and narrow market the week through; the range was only IA to 16 points. The high prices were made during the first three days of the week and the low prices were made on Thursday. At the highest the trading most was to 6 points over last weeks close at the lowest there were 10 to II points un- der
 The week started in with fine wealth CT and high winds over the greater part of the cotton country but this did not help the bulls, chiefly because of reports of freer spot offerings from the interior. These reports helped the bear side the week throughout, al- though at no time was it claimed that anything like actual pressure to sell was in evidence.
 The New York revision of grade diff ferences in its spot shipment was eX pected to move prices one way or an- other but this did not occur.
 There was much discussion over the ginners' report to be issued next Tues day by the census bureau and the trade finally came to the conclusion that the returns would not be of any help to the bear side. This was one of the steadying influences of the week.
 Late in the week any tendency to advance was checked by cables from Manchester stating that some mills were shutting down because of the Chinese situation. This feature was offset to some extent by the large mill talsings of the week. Hester putting them at 446.000 bales against 319,000 this week last year and 376,000 this week two years ago.
 In the spot market prices advanced 3-1Sc; mddling closeing at g 7-16c against 9Ac last week, and 14ssc thls week last year Sales on the spot amounted to 4255 bales against 23l5 last week and 2520 this week last year; sales to arrive amounted to 9555 bales against 11,975 last week and S960 this week last year.

We Miss the Music of the Ant

From Harper's Weekly.
 There are probably sounds in nature too acute to be distinguished by the hu- man ear which may, however. be per- fectly clear to the auditory sense of other members of the animal kingdom.
 It has been claimed that ants have the most perfect sound producing organs that have yet been discovered in insects. These are situated upon certain segments of the abdomen, the sounds being pro- duced by rubbing. But nobody has ever heard these ant voices, although many authorities are convinced of their exist ence.
 An attempt was made to hear them with the aid of the microphone. but the only sound detected was that made by the crawling of the ants.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'S Letter

New York, November B.-(Special.) y Liverpool. did respond as expected, but our market slowly sagged to the close, with few transactions on hedge selling orders. There is little disposition to at- tempt to forecast the future of the mar ket while the factors on both sides ap- pear so evenly balanced, but the way con- ditions in China and Tripoli hang on tends to create a rather discouraged feel ing. It is question whether European spinners will buy freely or not. The Liv- erpool investment demand seems full, while here this demand does not increase as expected, probably because of the con- dition of doubt and conservatism in busi- ness circles.
 Liverpool should come points lower on Monday.
