MARKET WAS
ACTIVE With
GOOD Things
FALL NOTES FALLING dull
Cause Many Farmers to Sell
Cotton

Americas warehouses remained CEN
tres of interest yesterday, as upon the
day previous. To the delight of ware
housemen and farmers the cotton
market continued to pile up values at
a rate exceeding any other time since
the cotton season opened, adding 70 the
value of every bale sold. The adj
vance yesterday morning alone was IS
points, or third of cent per pound,
which, added to the gain previously
made within the past ten days, is con-
siderably more than 100 points, or IS
per bale.
Farmers are not at all disposed to
hold cotton at present values, which
are attractive, and all good cotton is
being sold rapidly at top figures for
the finer grades and corresponding
prices for other grades. Unfortunate
ly, the greater portion of the cotton
now being marketed is weather
stained.
An incentive for selling cotton now
is the fact that, this beng the first
of the month, many bank notes and
fertilizer notes are due. Fertilizer
dealers stated yesterday that collec-
lions were as good as expected, con-
sidering the season. One dealer had
$4,000 of notes which are due to-
day
With prices of cotton good, the farm
ers will sell and settle accounts as
rapidly as possible.

oath OF office taken by bishops and
priests pledged them to do all In their
power to make the Vatican tho seat

Mgr. Russell stated that the reason
such pamphlets were not answered was
that the attacks on the church were
too ridiculous to notice. "Of course, I"
he said. "the charges are absolutely
false and because they are so baseless
Catholic priests have not thought them
worthy Of answer"
Mgr. Russell refused to talk further
