on sentiment, and no doubt accounted
for much of the early selling. On the
other hand, there was some nervousness
owing to the appearance of very low
temperatures north of the belt and re-
ports of snow at Denver. and while many
local traders claimed there was real
fear of actual frost in the belt so early
in the season. the market rallied rather
sharply during the middle of the morn

leading spot people continued to sell on

NEW ORLEANS, La, September II
The net results or the weeks trading in
cotton was an advance of one point to d
decline OF two points on most active
months in futures. The high prices were
made Friday and low Wednesday. At the
highest prices were 70 to "a points over
last weeks close; the lowest 40 to 81
points under. The range was 40 TO q
points.
In tho early week the market had
saggng tendency on reports from the
eastern portion of the belt. where rains
seemed 10 benefit the crop. Later the
decline turned into an advance on re-
ports of deterioration especially in the
western belt and the presence OF tropi-
cal storm which for time was feared
would damage cotton. \ bullish feature
of the week was the absence Of rain in
Texas and Oklahoma. Premature ripen-
ing was reported in many sections and
shedding in others. 1T was generally con-
sidered at the end OF the week that the
crop had deteriorated considerably. Bears
say this iS the usual end-of-the-season
falling of and natural with the crop
reaching maturity.
In spots an advance of lie on middling
closing at II I-l6, against 1las last week
and II 9-l6 this week last year. Sales
amounted to LOIS bales against $40 la st
week and Zig this week last year: sales
amounted TO $3.50 bales. against $50 last
week and $50 this week last year.
Cotton futures opened steady at de-
and the failure of any reports of serious

Too Law TO Live.

Paris.-M. and Nine. Bouzer and
their daughter, Madeleine, twenty-five
years old. were found dead in their
fiat, in the Rue Albouy, the other
morning.
They took their lives because they
did not think them worth living. They
were all "cranks," and when the
daughter preached Mr.. Macdonald
Hastings theory that death was some
times a duty. the parents allowed
themselves to be persuaded.
Nine. Bouzer wrote a number OF let
tiers, which were found on the dining
room table In all of them she ex'
planned that she. her husband. and her
daughter were going to commit suicide
because their lease to the fiat had run
out and they did not want the trouble
of moving.

ing or san Mateo, who was stricken
with a mysterious malady while with
the United States trainingship Nash
Vile in San Domingo bay, Haiti, and
now lies in the naval hospital at
Portsmouth, Va, suffering from
complete loss of memory.
One day, while the Nashville was in
port at San Domingo, Walling, assist
ant gunner on the training ship, went
ashore alone. Half an hour later he
was brought back to the ship in
dazed condition, unable to speak, hear
or walk. At first the surgeons were
inclined to believe that he had been
drugged by the natives, but as his con-
dition remained the same, that theory
was abandoned. An examination failed
to reveal any evidence of sunstroke
and no bruises of any kind were
found on his head or body.
1t was four weeks before Walling
regained his speech and hearing and
was able to walk, but he was as help
less as a small child. He could neither
read nor write and he recognized none
of his former companions. With pains
taking care and training the ply
sicians began to teach their patient
to read, write and walk, and the pro-
gress was so rapidly that in month
he had regained all past book learn
ing.
Walling is now normal in every re-
spect, except that his mind is blank
as to all persons, places or events that
took place before his illness. He can
not recall his home, family or friends.
