The famous fighting bulls of Portu-
gal displayed their aversion to motor
cars recently when an automobile ON
nibus with ten passengers was pro-
ceeding along a country high road
near Cintra, Portugal.
A herd of fighting bulls from a cele-
brated breeders establishment sud.
denly appeared around a corner.
Frightened by the throbbing of the
engine, the bulls got out of hand and
charged down on the vehicle. The
driver hastily turned his machine and
fled pursued by the herd Of Infatuated
animals, but being ignorant of the
neighborhood he drove the heavy con.
veyance over a precipice into a ravine
so feet below.
The driver and three passengers
We're killed outright, while the others
were all seriously injured

NEW ORLEANS.

NEW ORLEANS, October 19-The cot
ton market has been quiet this week with
prices moving not far either way. The
main influences about balanced, and, in
addition, traders on both sides of the
market were held in check by the uneasi-
ness over the first killing frosts. High
piices for the week were made Friday
and the Tow prices Tuesday. AT the
highest the trading months were thirteen
TO twenty-one points over last week S
close: at the lowest they were nine To
sixteen under. The range Of prices was
thirty to thirty-two points. The market
closed at a net loss of six points to a net
gain of seventy-one points. War news
was the chief bearish feature Of the
week. but ii did not result in anything
approaching a bear campaign. The
weather of the week was unfavOrable
too much rain falling over a large
part of the cotton region. The ques-
ton of frost is now one of the most
important things before the cotton trade
Killing frost in the near future wou
work great damage to immature bols.
but should 1t hold off for another fort
night ii would add materially to the crop.
The knowledge of this situation more
than anything else caused quiet this
week
In the spot depar tment prices lost one
eighth of cent, middling closing at
1Ga. against 1915 last week. and GIG
this week last year. Sales on the spot
amounted to 1855 ba es. against 5.OO5 last

Sa 'es to arrive amounted to 1O.200 bales.

Cotton futures opened barely steady at
a decline OF = To points on poor cables.
Continued rains in the central and east
ern sections OF the belt were n support
to the market. offsetting TO some extent
the effect of the poor cab es. but little
later the forecast of fair weather in the
western belt. with higher temperatures
in Oklahoma and Texas cau~ed selling
to increase. Around the middle of the
morning weekend short covering in
creased and the buying strong
enough to cause a recovery. The market
gave way until the trading months were

exchange would allow anything. to be
listed that gave promise OF big line or
commissions to its members. To such
an extent has this abuse gone that many any
revolt and threaten to compel change
from the wide-open policy now being
followed. Although the admission of a
stock to the trading privileges on the
Endorsement of that body, yet the public
puts that construction on it to a very
considerable extent
The street is looking forward with
aeep concern to the probable early deeis-
ion by the Supreme Court in several i'm
portant cases. The two to which atten-
ton is being particularly directed are
those involving the life of the anthracite
coal trust and the validity of the Union
Pacific Southern Pacific merger. 1t is
generally believed that the court will
decide against the Reading road in the
anthracite coal case, but at the same
time the feeling exists that the insiders
have so protected themselves and the
trust that the real business of extorting
an enormous sum from the public by
Specious overcharges that no immediate
benefit will result. 1t is admitted that
the consumers are paying at least 81 per
ton more than they ought to for anthra-
cite coal, and that the courts and the
national and state governments will
eventually find some means for relief
from the extortion Of about $4,000 900 a
year. Such solution of the problem is
evidently not believed to be very near.
however. or the prices of anthracite coal
stocks would not be so high. Reading.
for instance, is bought around prices now
prevailing, in the confident belief that
the price will cross 200 before the end of
the year. and then go 80 points or more
in the no distant future.
The election of Gov. Wilson to the
presidency is accepted in Wall street as
foregone conclusion. and the market
pays very little attention at this time
to politics. Later on. however; when
confronted with the certainty of an extra
session of Congress next spring and tariff
revision these matters may be looked
upon from a very different viewpoint.
The attempted assassination of Col.
Roosevelt made a profound impression
in the financial section. but had no mar
ket influence one way or the other.
