DEALERS GIVE BIG ORDERS

CHICAGO. Oct. 6-Marshall Field &

trade, says:
Current business, wholesale and re-
tail. for the month Of September showed
a substantial increase over the CORE
spending month a year ago. Collections
were about normal The past ten days
have developed an increased volume of
future business.
"Seasonable demand for dry goods
and allied lines is pressing retailers
to I'll IN their stocks 10 an extent which
makes wholesale distribution very sat
isfactory in all departments. Merchan-
disc managers throughout the country
are beginning to realize that the stocks
that are in the hands OF manufacturers
In many lines are none too large and
they are regulating their open stock or
derS accordingly.
Excellent business IS coming in from
the Northwest and from the Far West,
as well as from the principal corn
growing sections Of the Central States.
THE features Of the week in the cot
ton goods market have been advancing
prices and good demand from practi-
cally all sources.
THE selling season for wOmen's

excellent recorder business is develop
ing Shipments OF this class Of mer-
chandise have been larger this fall than
ever before and all indications point

Indications point to an early re-
r:val Of the project to build a viaduct
rom the foot of Spring street to a

,,sc+ion Of A. W. Farlinger to Council
rom the Fourth Ward has caused the
INFECT to be taken up actively again,
stDre Mr.. Farlinger pledged himself
%, his friends to work for improve
77sDts on Spring street and the cree

LR. Smith, of the real estate firm

that the preliminary arrangements
are now being made in a quiet way.
Tobn D. Babbage, another well-known
real estate dealer, asserted that
Spring street property owners would
soon organize to work for the i'm
provement.
"A viaduct Of this kind" declared
Mr. Babbage, would serve a large

worth a million dollars to Atlanta.
People living out Marietta and tribu-

COTTON GOSSIP

]. B. Turner wires from Memphis:
Telegraphic reports from Texas cover
ing developments of the week in cot
ton fields up to to-day indicate heavy
loss in quantity as well as in grade of
staple. Loss is not heavy north OF Dali
las but in central and in southern ter
ritory. particularly southeast OF Austin,
pondents estimates running 10 to S5 per
cent destroyed by oyerfows on low
lands and beating out on the ground.
IF the weather becomes speedily
bright and remains so for some time
part of this loss will be recovered and
the estimates may be materially re-
duced. There is considerable sprouttng
IN the boil and the out-turn from this
cotton after II is picked will not be
so large, as had 1t been gathered I'M
der normal conditions. In some sec
tons, as around Cuero, many fields are
still under water Damage to grade
has been very heavy. and 1t is said
that most of the cotton to come forward
viii not be better than low middling.
1T Is impossible to state what definite
number of bales have been lost, be.
cause nearly all cotton was open. Con-
ditions favorable no rain damage eX-
listed, but in some localities consid-
cradle part of the crop has been picked,
which fact reduces the possible loss to
an extent. Further rains would be dis
tinctly unfavorable."

OFFERINGS OF OCT.
CAUSE BIC BREAK
Good Map and Large Crop Esti-
mate Cause Heavy Liquidation.
Bulls Still Confident.

NEW YORK, Oct. Cuisines at the
opening of the cotton market to-day
was active and the market was weak at
closing quotations Of Saturday. One
Of the chief factors responsible for the
break was the disappearance of the
rainstorm in the southwest, notably in
Texas. The low barometer in the south
west was still located over Kansas.
Naturally the trade laid more stress on
the weather conditions tnan anything
else.
In addition to. this, Habersham King
was reported to be out with crop eSti-
mate of Is, $50 900 bales He further
states that frost would not reduce the
output 2 per cent because Of the crop
being an early one. This helped the
bearlsh movement along
on the decline there was good buying,
which Steadied the market a little after
the call and the market rallied to :
points from the opening range.
The Liverpool market was steady at
the outset, but eased in sympathy with
our decline. This, coupled with further
aged active selling by Wall street, Liv-
erpool and operators who have bulled
the market in the recent past. Some
of the largest spot interests were among
ing depressed October to 1872, Deem
Der TO 1853 January to 1888 and March
to 1886. The entire list suffered a net
decline of 90 to IS points from the pre-
vious close within the first hour.
On the other hand. a good bit OF buy
ing by spot houses and scattered shorts
caused a slow advance of Z TO 10 points
from the low point during the late fore
noon, but the selling continued general.
At the close the market was quiet
with prices showing irregularity, being
21a off to 3 points higher than the final
quotations of Saturday.

Cables Saying Europe Is Ready to
Flood America With Goods
Bear Weapon.
BY CHARLES w. STORM

NEW YORK, oct. 6.-Cables stating
that European firms were preparing to
flood American markets with foreign
manufactures had a bearish effect on
industrials at the opening of the mar
ket and nearly all quotations were low
er. Canadian Pacific, which was under
pressure, declined rs to 23S. and at the
end of half an hour had suffered still
further Union Pacific and Steel COM
mon. which had been hammered in Lon
don, ranged about point under Satur-
days final.
There were a number Of sales of small
blocks of New York. New Haven and
Hartford, and this Issue declined to 81
for loss of over a point
Among the other declines were the
following: Amalgamated Copper y
American Can Is, American Locomotive

q, Third Avenue Traction u. Southern
Pacific Y, Reading Il. Pittsburg Coal
is Northern Pacific Is, New York Cen
tral 4, California Petroleum Is, Lehigh
Valley "A, Interboro Metropolitan GER
dated Gas u. Brooklyn Rapid Transit
The only stock that showed any
strength was Distilers' Securities
which advanced y to 1874.
The curb was weak.
Americans in London were subjected
to professional hammering and reacted.
After the weak opening the market
leaders rallied and nrmer tone deVel-
oped. Union Pacific and Reading were
offered in about the same volume as at
the opening. Steel was prominent and
sold at a decline Of *. Canadian Pa
Cifc continued weak, dropping ~. Cop
per was off the same. The remaining
leading issues were all lower fraction
ally. Call money loaned at "a.
A weak. vacillating tone prevailed in
the stock market in the final hour. All
the steel stocks were lower but some
of the railroads held their own around
the midday price range. Amalgamated
Copper sold at 74Ac for the net less
of more than a point on the day
Union Pacific continued TO be supplied
freely, holding about l point under the
morning opening range Reading and
Pennsylvania made trifling gains over
the noon price range.

are for unsettled weather in the central

west Texas and Oklahoma. with pos
sibly frost there on Wednesday. but the
cold wave has diminished SO much in
pressure that It will hardly spread far

Liverpool barely met our advance Sat.

close. Spots points higher: sales 10,
900 bales. First trades here were at
a decline of IA points, followed by a
rally Of points on the Government
forecast Of colder weather in Texas,
Oklahoma and Arkansas, but there was
more liquidation than support and prices
dropped to 1853 for December.

PRIMARY MOVEMENT.
Three Farm Credit
Plans To Be Studied

WASHINGTON, oct. 6.-Three
schemes for farm credits are to be
worked out by the House Banking
and Currency Committee in connec-
ton with the currency system.
One IS to authorize an association
OF borrowers under a cooperative
plan Of interest payment whereby the
farmer may get the ready money for
the movement of his crops at the
lowest rate OF interest and each menu
Der OF the association is to be re-
sponsible for the interest payment of
the other members Of the association.
This is the "Lanschaft system" of
Germany.
The loan may be long or short
terms, but the rate Of interest is to
be fixed by a Federal board.

Canada Now Favors
Reciprocity Scheme

TORONTO, ONT, Oct. 6.-The

had a front page editorial urging the
Canadian Government to suspend tho
duty on wheat and flour imported
from the United States. The duty
can be suspended by order in coun-
ell, but the tariff can only be changed
permanently by act of Parliament.
The attitude taken by The World
will be of greater significance be-
cause that paper bitterly fought the
reciprocity arrangement of 1911, as
did its editor and proprietor, w. F.
