COTTON PRICES HAVE
TENDENCY TO RISE
Market Rather Dull Though
Upheld by Moderate
Demand

New Orleans. November 12-Cotton was
rather dull today. but prices had a ten
dency to advance. Offerings were not lib
eral at any time and the market was up
held by continual demand of moderate
proportions. The buying was called very
strong In character. The foundation for
the advance was the reports from the
belt that ginning was very far advanced
and even completed in many sections.
This the bulls accepted as proof of the
correctness of their small crop claims.
The market opened steady at a rise OF
to points. Cables were not better
than due and the weather map was very
favorable, with promise of more favorable
Wea ther to come. Brokers. however, had
good buying orders to fill on the opening
call and soon after the call prices Were
points up. Soon the advance was WIDEN
ed to II TO - points, but longs took profits
on this and in the early afternoon the
market had fallen to within l to points
of Yesterdays close. Later there was
considerable strength on display on fresh
long buying and the trading months went
II to 13 points over yesterdays final quo-
tations. The close was steady and at
net gain of 5 to 10 points.

Pittsburg. November, S.-tSpeciaL) }
Four brothers and their sister of Mo-
nAca. this state. who have passed their
lives almost to conclusion without
any of them having ma ried. are cell
ebrating the birthday of the Oldest
m member of the family.
The unmarried quintet whose ages
total 376. are John b. Weigel, 50; Miss
Nancy Weigel, so; James Weigel, rs;
Frederick Weigel, 70 and Thomas Wei
gel, SO. They live in the old farmhouse

generations of the Weigel family lived
and died before them.
The Weigel family Is wealthy, and
one of the most influential in South
Beaver county. John Weigel. the. head
of the family, said tonight:
"No, we five never married. I am
not saying we never had the oppor-
tunity, but we never got in that state
of mind that leads one to seek a life
partner. We are happy because of our
long association with one another.
None of us would change If we could. -

Too Scared to Whistle

Passaic. N. j., November 6.--(Special) }
1t was learned today that police plot
to catch two bold blackmaiers failed on
Saturday night because the victim, George
Kentz. hotelkeeper Of Lodi. near here.
was too badly scared to carry out his part
of the plot.
Kentz got a letter on Saturday tell
ing him to pass by the United Piece Dive
Wor''s In Passaic, and at a certain point
to hand over $3.50 to two men who would
be there.
Kentz arranged with Patrolman Panta
and Sergeant Davis to blow a VIII stle
when the two men came Up to him. so
that the officers might spring out from
their hiding place near by and catch
the men.
When one OF the highwaymen stuck
a revolver under Kentz's nose, however
he for~ot about the whistle and passed
over $50, all he had The policemen
watched and wondered.

though spot sales abroad are small in
dicating that much cotton must have been
sold on call. At the same time the gem
elal public have little faith In prices are
looking for a decline, yet at the height
of the movement we see a market ds-
veloping excellent trade buying and signs
of strength below 13c. Are we justified
then in assuming that when the move
ment begins to fall off that prices will
decline? Is 1t not more probable that the
trade will become nervous over obtaining
the balance of their supplies?
1t is rumored tonight that freight room
for 10000 bales has been engaged for ship
ment from this market. although this
has not been confirmed. Liverpool is due
TO come tomorrow u to 3A points ad-
vance.

GENERAL RISE IN
THE STOCK MARKET
Difficult to Trace Cause for
Observation-Disclosures
Situation Improves

New York, November 12.-Improve-
ment in speculative sentiment both at
home and abroad was reflected today
in general rise in stocks. 1t was dff-
fieult to trace a direct connection be-
tween the change in sentiment and the
days news. which presented no essen
TALLY fresh aspect. There was a gem
eral impression that the outlook for
peaceful solution of the Mexican prop
lem was brighter. Mexican securities
moved up sharply in London and there
was substantial rise here in National
Railways of Mexico second preferred.
An important influence-was the con-
viction that a substantial rally was due
after the protracted period of weakness
through which the market has passed
The weakness of the present position
however, lies In the fact that the re-
duction in prices has failed to inspire
any considerable amounts OF outside
buying. roday's upturn apparently was
based almost, entirely on professional
operations.
The better feeling abroad was of dl
rect influence on the market on ac-
count of liberal buying for foreign ac-
count Berlin took Canadian Pacific
and Paris the coppers. Londons pur-
chases We're widely Distributed, being
estimated at 10000 shares.

part OF the day ana 1t became uulI

then maintained it's firm tone well In
spite of a few weak spots. Mexican pc

New York, November 12-tSpecal.)- D
Our market opened with sales of January
at l29Sc 12.97c, IL 95c, Il SIC, 12. 96c, u 97c
and after selling at 1s.14g12 sec ruled at
13.05c at p. m.
Although cables were slightly better
than due rumors of a large estimate by
a prominent Memphis spot house pre-
vented our market from Improving on
the opening. This was subsequently
denied. There was not the heavy pres
sure that appeared yesterday and little
cotton was offered on a quiet, narrow
market. Returns from the south Indicate
decided falling off in the ginnngs for
this period. Reflections on the weather
conditions since the first of August do
not seem to justify the recent large crop
estimates. Six weeks % drouth in Texas
rainy September and an early freeze
in October do not I'm our opinion justify
expectations of large yield
At the same time exports are well Up.
