Serve, and Ask Nothino

One man when he>has done a service to
another is ready to set 1t down to his ac-
count as favor conferred. Another is
not ready to do this, but still in his own
mind he thinks of the man as his debtor
and he knows what he has done, ac-
cording to the meditations of Marcus Au-
reius.
third in manner does not even
know what he has done, but he is like a
vine which has produced grapes and
seeks nothing more after it has once pro-
duced its proper fruit. AS horse when
he has run, dog when he has caught
the game, a bee when it has made its
honey, so man when he has done a
good act does not call out for others to
come and see, but he goes on to another
act, as a vine goes on to produce the
grapes In season. Must d man then be
one of these, who i'm manner acts thus
without observing it? Yes. What more
dost thou want when thou hast done a
man service? Art thou not content that
thou has done something comfortable to
thy nature and dost thou seek to be paid
for 1t, just as If the eye demanded a rec
ompense for seeing, or the feet should
demand recompenss for walking?

.BEAR|SH CABLES
CAUSE WHEAT DROP
Prices Tumble to the Lowest
Point so Far in This
Years Crop

Chicago, October 14.-Wheat prices
tumble today to the lowest point so
far on this years crop. Bearish cables
were what chiefly smashed the mar
ket and left the close nervous, e a 1c
down. Corn showed a net loss of IS a.
&c to q c and oats a drop of 1@1 Is c.
In provisions the outcome varied from
171sc decline to an advance of 2Ac
Bears seized control of wheat right
at the start. The Liverpool market had
undergone sharp setback owing to
and because of Increased selling pres
sure from Australia in addition the
report from Argentine continued to be
of a flattering character.
Visible supply, both European and
domestic, made big gains and thus
formed an additional weight on prices.
The Canadian visible, too, exhibited an
increase although of a less formida BILE
sort. Diminishing of receipts north
west was ignored. as statements were
current that rural elevators were filled
up and that any accumulations now
would have to be shipped to terminal
cities
Corn suffered from the bearish ef-
fects of reported sales of Argentine
corn at the seaboard and because of
unusual weakness at Buenos Ayres. The
fine weather of the last few days tend
ed also to bring out decided activity on
the selling side. Kansas dispatches
told of pastures in splendid condition
with feeding demand likely to be in
definitely postponed
Oats sagged with corn and wheat A
huge enlargement of the visible supply
total hindered any effort at rally
Weakness in coarse grain as well as
in the hog market deprived provisions
dealers of all idea that important up
turn could be forced. Packers unloaded,
especially lard

EXTREME DULLNESS

Southern Pacific Feature
of Greatest Weakness

New York, October 1.-THE general
leyelling of prices which overshadowed
all other developments in last week s
stock market was resumed with some ef-
feet today. Prices yielded from 1 to 3
points in many active issues, while
stocks of less prominence lost greater
ground. The talk of selling occurred
during the morning session, which Vas
followed by extreme dulness and some
later recovery, chiefly in United States

gently offered it was plain that supply

the feature of greatest weakness. it's

posed suit of -the government to force

Surface conditions point to the revival
of large and aggressive short interest,

scope by reason of numerous adverse
factors These include the abandonment

the Mexican situation and financial con-
ditions abroad. Foreign markets. espe-
cially London, are again in state of
congestion, as attested by last weeks

COTTON HAS RATHER
AN EASY UNDERTONE
December and January Fall
Below 13c Level-PrOfit
Taking by Shorts

New Orleans. October 1.-THE cotton
market had a rather easy undertone
throughout today's session and prices
broke to new low levels for the present
reactionary movement, landing over 1c
pound down from the highest of the
season. December and January worked
below the 1S cent level. There was much
profit taking by shorts and this steadied
the market at the lowest levels and sew
eral times during the day brought about
small upturns, which were not we'll sus
tained. Bulls were not aggressive and
did not take advantage of features that
favored them.
The opening was steady at decline of
10 to IA points on poor cables and the
good weather map After widening the
decline to 13 to 10 points, the market re-
acted to within 5 to points of last week. 9
close Later the market fell off again and
toward noon stood about 20 points down.
In the afternoon prices went to a net loss
of 20 to "a points the close was steady, %
to "a points down.
The weather reports indicated that.
warm and dry weather was prevailing
over the belt. The lack of frost over the
holidays, the result of the cold wave
that passed over the belt, was the real
cause for the bulk of selling orders that
came in.
A bullish feature of the day that caused
monetary upturn was the first census
bureau report on consumption of the sea-
son, putting the consumption of American
mills during September at 469,S7O bales.
against 496,6le1 the same month last year.

COTTON MAKES
NEW LOW GROUND
January Contracts Sell Off
26 Points Below Close
of Saturday

New York October f4.-The cotton
market made new low ground for the
movements during the days trading
with January contracts selling off to
12.6Sc, or 26 points below the close
of last Saturday and $5f5 per bale
under the opening and just before the
publication of the October condition
figures Easier Liverpool cables, favor
able weather for picking and market
ing in the south and talk of easier
eastern belt spot markets appeared to
be the factors reported in todays mar
ket.
Slight rallies occurred at times dur
ing the day and there seemed to be a
considerable demand on declines. but
business tapered off on advances, and
while the close was steady last prices
We're 16 to 26 points net lower.
There had been some apprehension
on Saturday that this mornings wealth
er news might show frosts in the belt
over the two days adjournment, but
no temperatures low enough to cause
new crop anxiety We're factors and
there seemed to be lot of selling or
ders around the ring at the start. The
opening was 10 to 16 points lower and
active months sold IL to Il points net
lower during the first few minutes \
rally of s or points followed on pri-
vate predictions that a strong barom-
eter reported in the Pacific northwest
would bring frost to the belt within
the next two or three days, but the
market received no aggressive support
and soon eased off under continued
liquidation, southern selling and local
pressure AS prices broke through the
early high level few stop orders were
uncovered and active months sold about
20 to 81 points net lower during the
afternoon. There was some trading on
the decline and it was that spinners
were calling for cotton on a scale
downward. Otherwise, however, the
buying appeared to be chiefly realizing
on recent sales and slight rallies We're
barely maintained. Domestic mill con-
sumption for the month of September
as reported by the census bureau was
in excess of last year and mill stocks
at the end of September were smaller
than last season. but the prevailing
statistical position seemed to be op-
posed by the increasing new crop re-
ceipts.

Too Much Sleep Is Injurious

Many people look forward to a holiday
as a time when they can sleep as much
as they like, but widely known Swiss
doctor maintains that the benefits of "a
holiday may be neutralized by too much
sleep. More than eight hours for healthy
people who work with their brains is
generally speaking, too much he says.
In high attitudes five hours of good. re-
freshing sleep Is quite enough at holiday
times. Nervous people are apt to re-
main in bed. half asleep and half awake
longer than is good for them. This sleep
specialist believes that such people ought
to get up as soon as they awake, and
never give way to the fascination of
dreaming half awake. Too much sleep he
pronounces to be as bad for u.s. as too
much food

financial circles the market is, of
course. pessimistic in tone and one
hears very few favorable views ex-
pressed, although all admit that the
cotton goods trade is in an excellent
condition with small stocks OF every
thing everywhere.
Spinners both here and in Europe
continue to absorb the offerings on the
decline as they believe the government
crop conditions for the season indicate
a moderate crop and they buy when
the pressure is on.
