COTTON MARKETS.
NEW YORK.

NEW YORK, September 2T.-There was

cotton market today and new high rec

or 312 points above the low level of only
a little more than a month ago. Expec-
tatfons of a very bullish October bureau
were strengthened by the report of a
Chicago authority placing the condition
of the crop at els, comparing with its
report of 1914 last month. The official
condition a month ago was 6S2, and
should the governments figures next
Thursday show as big a falling off as in
Dictated by today's private statement it
would make the October condition around

the october bureau was 5S.o per cent
The yield of lint cotton per acre in 1909
was only 154.3 pounds, comparing with a
ten-year average of 1865 pounds, last
years yield of 1909 pounds, and the out
turn of 2O7.7 pounds per acre in 1911.
Bullish sentiment also seemed to be en-
couraged by reports Of a heavy rain
storm working northeastward from Hous-
ton, the official forecasts for continued
unsettled conditions. bullish weekly re-
views of the dry goods trade. and the
continued steadiness OF the Liverpool
cables.

The decline was due less to pressure
than to lack of interest 1t afforded

NEW ORLEANS, September 27.-News
that Majority Leader Underwood has in
troduced into the House the Smith-Lever

here misinterpreted. caused one of the
most remarkable breaks the New Orleans
cotton market has seen in some time.
The report was received only few min

market when 1T was bound upward on

high levels of the season had been
reached Immediately there was a rush

BY W. G. NICHOLAS.

NEW YORK, September o7.-The mar
ket swings narrowly on an even keel, the
minor movements representing nothing
ming and ending nowhere. Prices are
about where they were on the half way
recovery from the deepest midsummer
recession. with perhaps a moderate set
back from the latest upturn. Action
downward seems to be easier for the
moment than the little bull successes.
but in neither case is there disturbance
in the degree seemingly provoked.
Everything is orderly. Trading on ex-
changes was concentrated largely on the
small group Of recognized favorites, viz:
Union Pacific. Steel. Reading. Amalga-
mated Copper. ST. Paul. Southern Pa
cifc Lehigh Valley. New Haven, Peo-
pies Gas. Can, Canadian Pacific and the
Hill issues. Latest developments went
far to prove the theory that the recent
sensational bull furry was largely an ar
give the transfer of Union Paciic's $1,000
shares Of Southern Pacific cast of great
excitement; and that the manipulation
parties in Reading, Coppers. Steel and
other specialties gave friendly alliance to
the demonstration.
The program went through about as
planned. On the rush rise insiders all
along the line realized satisfactory prof
it's and artificial support was withdrawn.
The field was left to the eleventh hour
purchasers, who are in bad temper and
already suffering losses. AS before noted
the drift SO far as one has materialized,
is in the direction Of a lower level So

veloped that 1t is safe to describe the
emotion as again Overwhelmingly bear

Prophecies All Failed.

1t is not difficult to give reasons for the
change. Not a single thing that was
prophesied for the promotion Of prices
came to pass. according to the pictures.
and as one after another failed in spec
tacular presentation, excitement subsid-
ed and anger and disappointment follow
ed. Those who had engineered the col
thereof were roundly denounced as I'M
fair.
Ill feeling is still a browning feature
of prevailing market sentiment, and the
prediction Is voiced on every hand that
the ultimate sequel to the rapid fire boom
will be a sensational break. On the other
hand, a powerful party Gust now lying
quiet is strongly bullish, and full of OPP
timistic predictions of renewed sensa-
tional speculation for the browning rise
Of the year. AS concession to the
scolding bears they concede that the
promised bull campaign may not begin
in earnest until after Congress adjourns
and tariff revision goes into effect with
possibly a new currency law on the
books-that done and the public given
time and opportunity to express an opin-
ion on the work.
Spectators and investors are quite as
interested in the popular reception Of the
Market action and business developments
may show that the effects have been dis
counted and that the course Of prices
will be placid Indeed, two out of three
veterans have just that view, and will
not be surprised to see the price improve
ment and renewed bullish activity date
from any hour.

There Is no association too trivial for
1t. no use too petty. Our books and
our newspapers alike bristle with mis-

Scotch players regard the conditions
of Alpine curling as somewhat too lux

and the tactics that proved successful
on the rough ice of q Scottish pond
have to be abandoned In favor Of more
subtle methods.
The ordinary visitor to the Alps has
very little idea of the science and work
which are necessary to insure a good
rink. and the Scotch curler who has
been accustomed to the rough Ice form
ed by a few nights frost Is somewhat
startled when he sees an army Of Ice

stages, which can be carried out only
when the sun Is shining.
The secret of good ice is to go slowly.
This was proved by clever expert
ment. The discovery of this was due
to Rudolph Bauman. perhaps the best
iceman in the Alps. He filled two
wooden tubs with water, and the first
froze hard in a night. The second was
allowed to fill gradually. drop by drop

Of ice were then put in the sunshine
and, whereas the Ice that had beer

The ice is carefully dOctored every
