VARDAMAN COMING
TO THE JACKSON FAIR
However Neither Troops,
Bryan Nor Marshall Will
Be Able to Attend

jackson, Miss, October 2a.-(Special.)
The Mississippi state fair will not get
any United States troops. The war de-
partment had promised to order the two
companies at Meridian sent to Jackson
but today Governor Brewer received
telegram from Adjutant General An
drews in which he stated that on ac-
count Of the terrible disaster at State
line, when number of the troops or
Killed, It would be impracticable for the
department to send them to jackson.
The governor has also received tele-
grams from Secretary Bryan and Vice
President Marshall expressing their re-
grets at inability to visit jackson at
this time. President Wilson and sena-
tor John Sharp Williams had previous
ly expressed their regrets that they
could not be among the attractions at
the state fair, but then Senator Varda-
man has promised to come. and two
thirds of the people of Mississippi
would rather see him than anybody, and
the fair loses nothing.
The Alabama and vicksburg railroad
ticket office sold more than 100 return
tickets to Meridian today, showing that
jackson Is more than willing to en-
courage her neighbor's show. Among
those who went over were Commission
er OF Agriculture Blakeslee, ex-Mayor
Crowder, President Enocks and Secre-
tary Mcdonald of the State Fair as
sociation.

NEW HIGH RECORDS
IN COTTON MARKET
Close Is Steady and Last
Prices Show Net Gain of
Il to "a Points

New York. october 22.--The cotton
market not only recovered yesterday 5
big loss but made new high records
for the season on near months during
today's trading. October contracts sold
at 14.22c and December at 14.02c. Real
izing caused reactions of several points
late in the day. but the close was
steady and last prices showed net gains
of from 10 to 24 points.
An active and excited buying move
ment was started by relatively firm
Liverpool cables and a flood of crop
damage reports from the south follow
ing the cold snap reported yesterday.
First prices We're from IL to Is points
net higher and after some little tr-
regularity as a result of renewed real
izing, the market again firmed up on
prospects that another cold wave would
follow rains in the SOUTH fresh buying
for a long account, covering of shorts
and continued bull support. After
showing "a net gain of some 25 to 80
points, business slackened but prices
reacted only a few points and the mar
ket reached the highest point still later
in the day on another rush of buying
orders from local and southern sources.
Active months sold 33 to 35 points net
higher and December contracts sold
above IA cents for the first time this
season, making an advance of about
SIG a bale from the low level of last
summer Reports of heavy rains in the
southwest helped this advance and
some buying may have been inspired
by a crop estimate of 100000 bales
excluding linters by a Chicago firm.
The market encountered a great deal
of long cotton around IA cents for De-
cember and last priCeS showed reac-
tions of some 12 or IS points from the
best. The small local stocks. less than
5000 bales of certificated cotton being
now available here. undoubtedly added
to the firmness of the near months.
