undoubtedly been a big liquidation of such

big enough to discourage spectators for

BEARS AGAIN FORCE
COTTON PRICE DOWN
Southern and Local Selling
Cause Drop of $1 a
Bale.
MUCH PESS1MISTIC TALK
Discouraging Ginning Forecast
Also Aided in Causing
Depression.

The cotton market was under severe
pressure yesterday. decline OF 81 or
more bale being registered throughout
the list. combination Of bearish gin
ming forecasts and pessimistic trade talk
was doubtless responsible for the throw
ing over OF heavy lines OF long holdings.
Large selling orders came from New
orleans and Memphis. the latter accom-
panied by a report that the Turner agency
would to-day issue bearish estimate
on ginning to December i3. The adverse
business talk appeared to spring from
the somewhat gloomy tone OF the utter
ances Of certain prominent business men
with regard to the possible Ill effects
Of recent Federal eg.sation.
About the ring sentiment was almost
uniformly bearish. the prediction being
freely made bv some of the rampant bears
that the market was on Its way to the
II cent level. One of the factors that
caused many to desert the bull side was
the disappointing response by spinners to
the break. Calling by the trade WAS ex-
pected to be rather active after the break
of moro than 90 points since Friday, but
not only was the calling wholly neg
ligible, but 1t was even reported
that spirncrs were liquidating their hedge
purchases in futures, expecting to replace
them at n lower level.
Local selling helped along the decline
A great number OF stop loss orders were
uncovered, with the result that goodly
number OF bull accounts were eliminated.
the market was weak and unsettled from
the outset. Liverpool made full re-
sponse to our decline of saturday. and
the opening here was 10 to l3 points

rather interesting interpretations. Com

the prices of the active shares now

SINGLE TAX VICTORY
IN HOUSTON

J. J. Pastoriza, the single tax Tax
Commissioner of Houston, Tex. has been
reelected by 200 majority on the issue
of endorsing the policy he has pursued
during his administration. This policy
was to make as near an approach as pos
sible to putting local single tax in opera
tion in Houston All local licenses we're
abolished. Personal property was not
assessed for taxation at all. Improve
ments were only assessed at rs per cent
of their value and land values at 70 per
cent. Of course land spectators kicked.
But the effect of the policy on Houston
has been so good that in spite of the
spectators opposition Mr.. Pastoriza
has been triumphantly reelected to con-
tinue his good work.
Steps are being taken in Galveston to
follow Houston's example.

The boss of the Lone Bull ranct
smiled into his long mustache when ht
saw the prospective bridegroom in the
distance. There was a certain droopi
ness about the lank form that excited
the pity of Clintock. He placed two
fingers up to his lips and whistled
shrilly.
Jim Lewis turned, hesitated and then
approached his employer.
"See here, Jim," said the boss kind
ly, anything the matter with your"

awful busy just now, Mr., Clintock.
You see, I've got so much to do | don't
know what to do first" He rubbed his
shaven chin thoughtfulIy, while his
eyes sought the distant horizon.
Man aliveW chided the boss. Buck
up! Why, you're going to be married
the day after tomorrow! Have you got
the rooms all ready?"
Jim smiled foolishly. "As near as
can. don't know what Lulu's taste
is. There's everything to begin on, and
we can get the rest after-after she
comes" His eyes wandered to the
newly built cottage that was situated
on the little knoll back of the boss
house, and n tender expression came
into his blue eyes.
Clintock turned his own away sud-
denly and felt softening in his heart
at the sight of his wife's trim figure
In the veranda. He recollected his
own wedding day and the fearful panic
that nearly overlook him at the time,
and he was sorry for Jim Lewis.
Tell me what the trouble is, Jim,"
he said earnestly, laying a hand on the
others shoulder. "I know something's
up. You look down and out. Is it
your cIothes?"
'Hlt the target that time," admitted
Jim, with a relieved smile. II wish to
the Lord l knew what was proper to
wear. You see, Lulu and all her friends
are swell fellers from the dry goods

hats and hobble skirts and all such

And you're afraid you won't wear
Just the proper cut of clothes and that
Miss Gilbert will be morttfed? asked
Cllntock.
Jim nodded. That's the ticket"
Clintock looked thoughtfully at the
ground and racked his brain for recol-
ection of his own not far distant we'd
ling day. "I'rn dashed If I can remem-
Der what 1 V,ore," he said honestly.
You see, Jim, when you're going to

hing else except to get away from the
