SHARP REACTION
 IN COTTON MARKET
The Steady Opening Broke Under Heavy Realizing

New York, November 6.-After open

 the ring reflected quite a strong sem timent in favor of reaction, however,

WHEAT CLOSES 38C ID 1-2C HIGHER Prices, However, Touched New Low RecOrd-De-
 cember ST 3-4c

Chicago, November 6.--Although wheat prices today touched a new low record for the season, December at S7s4c. the market closed strong ssa1kc above Monday night. seantiness Of increase in the worlds available supply formed the main reason for the upturn. Corn finished unchanged to Ac higher, oats varying from the same as the previous close to ts4Ac gain. and provisions either not altered or with ad- vances ranging from shade to 121sc.
 Extreme bearish sentiment which pre- vailed early came about as result of weak cables, and because of the absence of adequate demand for the big receipts piing up northwest of here. Better cror conditions in Argentina counted also against the bulls. Selling on the decline, however. was overdone, and shorts forced the market up on themselves in attempts to cover.
 News of unexpected falling off in Flu ropean stocks of wheat was followed by announcement that the domestic visible supply had not enlarged to the extent which had been looked for. There were also predictions that the United States and Canada would soon be called on to meet transatlantic demand for S,OOO,- 0O0 bushels. In consequence all of the early weakness vanished, and in the last 15 minutes the market rose rapidly. De- cember fluctuated between S7%c and S9Bc with last sales 9sc net higher at sesssse.
 In corn, as in wheat, shorts, especially the smaller ones, overreached themselves One of their chief difficulties was the fact that rain throughout central Illinois proved to be the heaviest in months. cash grades were unsettled; No. 2 yellow was quoted at 56q56lzc.
 Sonfe export call aided in overcoming the bearlsh effect of huge receipts of oats Upper and lower levels reached for December were s1ase and 9o94e. with the close at 311sd31ssc, an advance of ]sQAc net.
 Provisions after suffering from sales by packers, rallied when cereals turned strong. January pork and lard headed the list with a net gain of 121kc.

A Brooklyn Home Body

From an Interurban Bulletin.
 An acquaintance of mine who is both able-bodied and industrious was born in Brooklyn and has always lived within four blocks of the famous bridge. yet has never seen ir (except in the picture). not even while it was under construction.
 Nor has she seen the elevated road structure, the dingy engines that used to do the snorting and the later electrically propelled trains. To the regular cross country steam locomotive and trains she is an absolute stranger.
 The only car ride she ever undertook was in the early days of horse drawn traction, and that to a cemetery and back. When cradle occupant she was taken to the Battery, her only journey away from Brooklyn town.
 Too young then for knowledge of any thing she has yet to take her first view of an expanse of water As for a steam lures are her only enlightment.
 The very mention of a rowboat causes shrug of her shoulderx at the fright full things" And the subway is no less terrifying to her. for not even kiosk en- trance has met her eye. AS for the tube under the river, she is fearful lest it would break with her in it." In the last six years she has not so much as gone to the corner of the block in which she lives, while in the distance pass the trolley cars that await her initial patron age.

New Orleans Cotton Market

New orleans. November 6-The cotton futures market opened steady at an ad- vance of to points on good cables and unfayorabe weather temperatures. Too much rain was shown on the map in nearly all of the most important sections in the cotton region.
 Reports from planters said the wet weather was interfering with picking. Bullish estimates of the pending census reports on condition also affected the trade favorably.
 Soon after the call prices were to s points up. Bulls took profits With the end of the first half hour of business prices were to points under Monday s closing prices
 Toward the middle of the day profit taking by longs increased and scalpine shorts put out fresh lines. The list sagged under the weight Toward noon prices worked down to level. IS to IS points under Mondays close. The near ness of the census report on ginning discourag ged fresh trading of any kind
 The trading acquired impetus in the late session. On fresh long buying prices quickly recovered the loss of the earlier session. Half an hour before the close prices were l to 2 points over Mondays final prices

Bits About Japan

From the Chicago News.
 On March 24, an English minister was
 was for the. first time received with cere-
 mony by the Mikado and the story of
 that reception Illustrates remarkably the transformation of Japan under Mutsu-
 hito. It had been fixed for the previous day, but on his way to the palace Cir Harry Parlses was fiercely attacked by two Japanese swordsmen. So sudden and furious was the assault that nine of the eleven mon of the escort were wounded. The nose of MT. Satow's pony and Sir Harry's belt were cut but Sir Harry himself was uninjured and pursued one of the assailants. MT. Freeman Milford
 found him at theangle of the street with the headless body of one of our enemies at his feet' The other. Samural was degraded and executed the reception
 came off next day~and the Mikado Issued
 decree forbidding all assaults upon foreigners.
 The late Admiral Robley D. Evans told some stories of the Japanese court. Hand kissing was not favored" he wrote. "In-
 stead I received handshake from a very shapely and beautiful hand. found the empress a woman of great refinement, perfect ease of manner, so delicate in ap- pearance and small of figure as to remind one of some fine piece of Dresden china, attired in a Paris gown of heliotrope
 brocade whose bad fit was accounted for
 in the same way as the baggy trousers
 of the Emperor. After a year in Japan
 I was satisfied that it was due to tha fact of either of Their Majesties. but just
 looked at them and guessed what the
 measurements should be-"
 Japan's Emperor belongs to the elder re.gning family in existence. According to native historians, his ancestors can be
 traced back coo B. c. Professor Basil Hall Chamberlain, despite his philo-Jap anese proclivities. thinks this is going lack about thousand years too far Still he maintains that, ''all deductions made, the imperial family stands forth proudly as the oldest in the world. We know pos itively that 1t reigned ever since the dawn of history in Japan and that even then t was considered of immemorial age"

PRICES OPEN WITH SUBSTANTIAL GAINS Market Later Falls in Nu- merous Instances Below
 Mondays Close

New York, November s-During the first 2 half of today's session on the stock ex- change the undertone of irregularlty and indecision suggested the thought that the speculative element seemed unable to grasp the significance of yesterdays elec- tion. Prices opened with substantial gains under London's lead, and then fell back in numerous instances to below Mondays close, after which the market was tenn porarily left to Its own devices.
 In the afternoon, however, a concerted buying movement in the speculative fav- orites. chiefly Union Pacific, Canadian Pacific, Reading, United States Steel and Amalgamated Copper, sent these and other issues up 2 to points Dom low est There was some shading of prices, due to proft taking and per cent money. but the movement was resumed and prices attained higher level in the final deal ings with pronounced strength to the ac- tive close Trading in the last two hours lifted the days total we'll above all recent record.
 General conditions abroad were un- doubted factors in the rise. Advices from continental centers imparted a more hope full view to the Balkan situation and the trend of events in London, Paris and Ber- lin indicated Europes financial ability in this war period to meet the supremacy of the democratic party Iii the United States with absolute equanimity.
 Call money was easier at the outset, opening at 5 per cent, but advancing to 6 in the final hour on belated borrowing The time money market was dull, with offerings less free for longer dates. Com mercial paper was in increased demand.
 The bond market was broad, active and firm. Total sales, par value, amounted to S2, ,5O0000.
