ment in the world, with the exception
of the Washington monument at the
National Capital.
The building on the left, as shown
in the illustration, is an historical mu-

square feet, and the peristyle to the.
right is emblematic of century of
peace between Great Britain and the
United States. /
The intention of the commissioners
to convey title to the reservation to
the National Government, has suggested
that the property may be put to some
practical use of great future benefit to
humanity, aside from its significance
as a reservation dedicated % history,
art, and progress. The site is an adj
mirable one for the location of wire-
less telegraph station capable of re-
ceiying and discharging messages over
the whole chain of lakes, life saving
station, and meteorological bureau.

Value Of the Opportunity.
The opportunity presented in the

brate the events and the significance
OF our second war for independence,
and OF the hundred years Of peace
with Great Britain which has ensued,
is one in which parents and teachers
should join with eagerness and en-
thusiasm; and the school programs
should be enlarged and dignifed by
the participation of men and women
capable OF making the strongest ap

that the schools are the proper and
natural medium through which to in

Wisconsin students the opportunity te

educational incentive, the Commission
is convinced that it has selected

Trade Freely Talks of
Is Cents for Cotton
Frost Cuts Deeply Into Estimates Of Yield, Els
pecially in Eastern States

MEMPHIS, Oct. 25.-Revision of
crop ideas downward has busted the
cotton market during the week. The
thing most feared-frost and freez-
ing temperatures-stru the belt
amidships early in the period, and
put crimp in prospects for the late
or top crop 1t paid a visit to practi-
cally all the belt where there was
a chance of the late yield proving
worth while, the finishing touches be-
ing given to the Carolinas Tuesday
night. 1t was a severe spell Of bad
weather. and came several days ahead
of the average date.
West of the Mississippi River,
damage from the cold was not i'm
portant, though some sections Of Ar
kansas and perhaps a little of Texas
were nipped. In large part of the
central belt there was very little crop
late enough to be hurt, and the cut
ting off of young bolls was particu-
larly offset by the benefit resulting
from forcing of bolls to open.
East the Shining Mark.
iho u duS realized tndI II was from
Alabama eastward that the frost
would find its shining mark. and
belief that it did has been one of
the inspirations for the bullish &C
tivity.
Estimates of the reduction in the
size of the crop vary widely, some
being from half to a million bales
1t is realized It will be several DAYS
before calculations can be made with
any degree of precision, for so much
depends on the weather that follows
the frost and freeze. Conditions so
far, have not been favorable, for
rains have come and temperatures
have risen quickly, thus keeping the
injured bolls wet and increasing dan
ger of the immature lint rotting and
running.

bearing on the amount of cotton

Fear of Cold. Wave
Sends Cotton Higher
New Bull Records for the Season Set
by Near Months-Shorts
Cover.
BY EDWARD Low RANLETT.

NEW YORK, Oct. 25.--Fear of an
other cold wave In the Southwest
and the failure of ginning figures to
create any fresh selling pressure sent
the cotton market higher to-day with
near months making new records for
the season.
The market closed firm at a net adj
vance of 20 to % points. December
sold at 1907, or fully 20 points above
the low level OF Friday Many local
traders who had sold earlier in the
week IN the expectation of a reaction
on fun ginning report appeared to
be covering on this advance, while
there was good demand from COM
mission houses and support from
some of the bullish trade interests
Sentiment which had been hesitat-
ing or reactionary, If not actually
hearish, on the decline of Friday,
showed the underlying fear of a short
crop In the readiness with which il
swung back to the bull side, and one
of the prominent New orleans opera
tors predicted that May contracts
would sell at IL cents before they
broke 90 points from Fridays closing
figures,
The census report showed 6,956, 5SS
| compared with 6,S69,232 last season
In other words, they represented the
second largest ginning in the history
of the smarket.
Private wires from Texas to-day
claimed that n per cent of the crop
in that state had been ginned. There
were numerous reports from the
Eastern belt claiming cotton had been
rushed to the gins, and that the
movement was now falling off A
strong high barometer In the Pacific
Northwest with an inside reading OF
sos was responsible for the predic-
tons OF another cold wave on top
of the heavy frosts reported over last

the situation in Texas, where the
proportion of extremely low grades
is unprecedentedly large, resulting
from the wet spell which came some
weeks ago and has continued with
but slight intermission since. Some
estimate the amount of cotton not
At for spinning purposes as high as
100000 bales, and advices from
sources not to be disputed are to the
effect that the situation is the worst
ever seen in Texas 1t is said to be
much worse than that existing in the
central belt in the fall of 1906, when
autumnal rains threatened to ruin
the crop throughout the Mississippi
Valley,
Good Grades Scarce.
1t seems certain that there will be
a great scarcity of good grade cot
ton, and premiums are already begin
ming to climb. The situation is SO bad
in the Southwest that number of
buyers have left Texas and come
here, something that does not usually
happen until after the turn of the
year.
The marked strength in the market
has stiffened the ideas of holders as
to values, and there has been a dis
position to raise prices along with
the advance in futures, Demand has
been satisfactory, though business
has been TO some extent restricted by
the excited state of the contract mar
kets. Bullish sentiment has risen,
and Is cents is freely predicted for
an early date. The ease with which
IA cents was reached and passed
seems to Justify some of this conf
dence, although the conservative ele-
ment in the trade cites the fact that
prices are about SIS a bale above
those ruling a year ago.
Picking is being pushed everywhere
as fast as the weather and labor
will allow. but conditions have not
been ideal. In the Delta sections there
is much complaint because labor is
scarce, though 81 a hundred pounds
is the ruling price paid. and some
have paid more. The high prices
accentuate the desire to save the
crop in as good shape as possible.

Vestment and part Of it was for COW

spell of unsettled weather is prom
ised for the West with much lower
temperatures. and while the latter
will prove favorable for the curing of
new crop corn and the Smelling and

there were engagements of vessel

Argentine offerings are now about all

They believe that the deal was har

the bank officials, but they believe
also that the members OF the synd,

in effect it was strictly a National

1t Is this proposition which Bank

News and Notes
BY JOSEPH F. PRiTcHARo.


CHICAGO, Oct. '25.-Little by little
sentiment in wheat is changing from
the bear to the bull side The larger
houses are acting in favor of the
wheat market, while the smaller peo-
pie have suffered drubbing from the
bulls, and now are afraid to put out
short lines and stand for a profit The
best thinkers in the Chicago pit place
confidence in sharp advances later,
and on this theory they are taking
wheat with the idea of holding it for
a profit.
The bull element at Chicago is made
up largely of the big concerns, and for
this reason, if for no other, the bears
will experience more or less trouble
from this time forward.
One condition surrounding the
wheat market that may be called
unfavorable is the lack of outside
trade. With the outsiders in the trade,
the bears fail to gain control.
1t has been proven during the past
week that the bear in corn is useless.
Some of the more daring ones have
attacked values and they have been
made to suffer. Arthur Cutten, who
has been quite successful on the bull
side of the market, is believed to hold
more corn at the moment than any
one else in the trade and being on
velvet he can wen afford to take a
chance in routing the bears wherever
they put out short lines of goodly di-
mansions, The bulls have the more
important conditions in their favor, as
the farmer is refusing to sell corn
and the demand for the grain on
Eastern account is of fair proportions
Enormous quantities of oats are
held at Chicago, as well as in the
visible supply. but thew are being
well taken care of The Canadian
oats to come forward have entered In
10 competition with our own grain
but some of this supply has been
heated and consequently rejected.

their purpose was the organization of

and protest TO President Wilson and
Secretary Bryan against the present

The Maderos believe that not only

many wealthy Americans are in dan

ment. Threats against the Madero
property in retaliation for the alleg-
ed footing of the national treasury by
the Maderistas, when in power, have
been circulated throughout Mexico.
