NEW YORK. September 1.-THE cotton
market opened steady at a decline of o
10 IL points under lower Liverpool cables,
reports of free offerings in the English
market and the appearance of rains or
showers in sections of the eastern belt
recently complaining of dry, hot weather.
December contracts sold at 11.22 on the
call. and heavy buying was encountered
at this figure. In addition to realizing by
shorts there appeared to be some demand
from fresh buyers. Prices sold UP about
y points from the lowest. and the market
during the middle of the morning ruled
within or 4 points of last nights clos
ing figures.
A bullish review of crop conditions dur
ing the first week of September by a
southern authority encouraged a buying
movement later in the forenoon, and the
market sold up to a net advance of las
points. Trading became less active. and
the market at midday was quiet but fair
ly steady, with prices about net un-
changed to points lower.

Numbered Among Pioneers.

CLEVELAND, Ohio. September IL
John D. Rockefeller was an "old settler
yesterday, and his brief appearance at
the meeting of the Old Settlers Associa-
ton caused such excitement that the
business end of the session was forgot
ten.
In the past Mr.. Rockefeller has re-
Trained from meeting the old settlers
but yesterday after the meeting had been
under way an hour he came in by the
side door and took a seat far in the rear
on him to speak.
Il feel it a great honor ne said, ito
be numbered among the old settlers. I'm
til recently 1 could not think that ! was
one of them, but having been a resident
of Cleveland since 1868 I EXPECT that by
and by l shall be counted as one of
them.
Il regret that / did not get here ear
iier. l don't want to preach you SER
