One.-Market Watching The Weather
(Dun's Review)
S New York, Oct 1O.-Thcre was
much to stimulate bearish sentiment
in cotton this week and the market fol-
lowed the course natural under the
circumstances, to wit, prices were
sharply depressed at times under the
weight of heavy offerings, which were
prompted chiefly by good weather in
the belt, large receipts and the polit-
ical disturbances abroad. In so far
as the crop news was concerned, de-
Nelopments were rathe confusing: first
reports showed that there was no frost
over Sunday and quotations sagged
rapidly as result, only to rally feebly
on covering induced by the fear that
frost might, after all, make it's ap-
pearance. This it failed to do, how
ever, and not only did short sellers
gain renewed confidence but holders
became discouraged and let go Of their
cotton, thus accelerating the decline.
On the other hand, it was not only
the favorable weather that broke the
market; daily receipts in many in
stances surpassed last years and Liv-
erpool values were plainly affected by
the actual outbreak of hostiities in
Europe. Obviously, a foreign war is
not calculated 6o promote the de-
mand for American cotton. Viewing
the general situation in it's broadest
aspect, it is contended that there is
nothing on which to base a permanent
advance in prices and that the move
ment should logically be the other
way until the fear of frost becomes
something more than fear. Each day
that frost remains absent naturally in
creases the chances OF a large crop
and it is now pretty generally conced-
ed that this crop will be large one,
perhaps the second greatest on record
But there are some who argue that
quotations will ultimately seek a high
er livel, if for no other reason than
the prospective big consumption Ac-
cording to one authority over IA 500, 600
bales were consumed last year and 1t
is figured that this years takings may
readily equal that total. especially
since business in this country is max
ing such steady progress. For the
present, however, the weather is the
pivot on which the market swings; a
sudden switch from good to bad might
easily change the entire complexion Of
affairs
From the opening of the crop year
to October (, according to satisfies
compiled l." he tlMancil. N nn'>le,

MUCH INTEREST IN ROADS.
South Dakotans Showing Interest Ia
Movement for Better Highways.

Movement for Better Highways.
Pierre.-The good road movement Is
holding its interest yet in the state.
and if that can be continued up to the
time of the next meeting of the legis-
~lature, the securing Of an adequate
good roads law may be q possibility.
In all past sessions, anything looking
toward expenditure for highways, or
any change from the old time work
system, was turned down as soon az
it showed up, until the last session
when a half way road law was secured,
but not until it was made optional by
counties, and several Of the leading
counties Of the state have suspended
its action until a vote can be taken
at the November election, as to wheth.
err or not the people will accept the
provisions of the act. The different
cross state highways are the central
points of agitation, and are being made
demonstration points. The road build
ers of Codington county having ar.
ranged for cooperation, to put ths
Meridian Highway in shape clear
across their county In n day. Lake
county has purchased a road grader
and engine for handling 1t, and Is push
ing the highway across hat county.
The east and west roads are attract
ing attention, in all the sections OF
the state where they touch, and the
whole agitation is reaching to u
ties of any of these proposed high
ways, as a policy which will help the
counties, and the whole movement
is attracting so much attention that
some adequate legislation may be en-
acted next winter.
