BIG ADVANCE IN
COTTON MARKET
Active Months Selling $3.15
Per Bale Above Low
Saturday Level

New York, September S.-There was
a big advance in the cotton market to-
day. with active months selling $S.i5
per bale above the low level OF satur-
day on Washington advices, indicating
that even If the cotton tax bill be-
comes a law 1t would not be effective
In time to interfere with market oper-
ations during the present season. Ru-
mors that the Senate would reconsider
the amendment to the bill, making it
operative on September l. 1914. and
render it effective Immediately should
1t become law, served to unsettie the
market during the middle of the day,
but these rumors were promptly denied
and the market reached it's best level in
the late trading when prices were 81
to 81 points above Saturdays closing
figures. The close was a few points OFF
from the best under realizing but
steady and from 80 to 10 points net
higher The market seemed disposed to
ignore almost everything in the news
except the reports from Washington,
and 1t appeared from the action OF
prices, as well as from most of the
talk around the ring. that the recent
low condition figures of the govern
ment had inspired much confidence IN
high priced cotton this season, pro-
viding there was no interference from
legislation. Higher Liverpool cables
helped the initial advance of from 81
to Al points and after the strong open
ing prices reacted only 8 or 10 points
from the best during the middle of the
day on the Washington rumors and re-
ports of well distributed rains in the
southwest This reaction was quickly
recovered following more favorable
news from Washington and the mar
ket was very firm in the late trading
The first ginning report of the season
as issued by the census bureau showed
794. .006 bales as ginned to September l.,
with 730,935 last year ana
771,297 two years ago.

Watch the Unaccented Vowel

In all unaccented sylables the Ameri-
can pronunciation is characterized by
general disregard of the vowel, says the
Atlantic Monthly. The vowels IN the final
syllables of prohigate, target and spirit,
often has in ordinary conversation the
same phonetic value as the in Farra-
gut. Though 1t is perhaps pedantic to
give such final vowels their full value, to
make no distinction at all between the un-
accented vowels is certainly unreiined
allowed to degenerate into the vague
munt and nuss is really deporable. This
negligence is even more noticeable ana
inexcusable in vowels at the beginning of
words. The ordinary pronunciation of
enough and opinion might be represented
by unnough and uppinion, though the
first syllable is in fact nothing more than
a grunt. No distinction is made even he
tween such confusing words as affect and
effect.
The Sunday school children sing inva-
riaby of "Jerusalum the goldun," and
loudly praise the "klessud Trinity Let
those who pride themselves upon their
pronunciation beware of the unaccented
vowel lest this one weakness in their
speech betray them. Richard Grant
White declares unhesitatingly: at is in
the delicate, but firm. utterance of the
unaccented vowel with correct sound that
the cultured person is most surely dis
tinguished from the uncultured."

Teeth Released Him

Recently Theodore Roberts the actor.
was released temporarily from Ludlow
street Jail in order that he might call
upon his dentist during five different days
and have his teeth fixed Roberts was
serving out a commitment because he had
failed to pay alimony to his wife under a
decree of separation Before he could be
permitted to go to the dentist an affida-
Wit had to be submitted in which Dr.
Frank E. Seely the dentist. declared Rob-
erts had Riggs disease and would lose
all his teeth if not attended to mme-
diately. The court granted permission be-
cause the dentist could not make use of
his electrical instruments at the Jail, says
the New York Sun.
From the time of the story of Damon
and Pythas various reasons for Tempo
rary release from Jail have been given.
1t Is related that in the Napoleonic era
a soldier confined in military prison for
minor offense against the service during
a brief time of peace was released in or
der that he might be present at the christi
enting of his infant son, born during his
Imprisonment. But Napoleon in order to
test the intensity of the mans desire.
made him agree to serve year longer
for the privilege of three day furlough.
The soldier glady did it and when he
returned found pardon and corporal $
warrant for his infant son. to be valid
when the son had SERVED with credit six
months in the Emperor army of the flu
ture" Frederick the Great released. an
audacous captain under sentence of
death, so that the captain might tell him
few beneficial things about himself
The things told face to face influenced
the great King to pardon the blunt, death
defying soldier.

HUSKING THE CORN.
AutumnZs Chill Tingles the Blood
During the Last of the Harvest

Tast ~ harvests comes corn husking,
when young men glory in their strength
and speed, while older men hold jealous
discussion of the yields. Muscles are
hard from the summers toll and the
chill of autumn that fills the air makes
the heart beat quick and the blood flow
hot. Elevators are taking away the ag-
ing, back breaking part, storing energy
for the hours of tense self driving in the
field, says the Breeders Gazette
It is early morning. The northwest
winds blow chill and the frost is just a
tinge Of white. The wagon, high with
bang boards, stops at the end OF the
row. Coats come or. The picker moves
to the eeward side of the wagon ana
stands there pulling on mittens and ad-
justing his hook, shivering and tucked up
the while like December calf behlnd
barbed wire wind-break. Stiffly he moves
out into the wind. An ear and then an
other strikes and roll away to far cor
ner of the box. Little by little the mo-
ton grows quicker. The motion OF ms
arms and the throbbing of the ears on
the bang board swing in rhythm as the
wagon, with unsteady spurts. plunges
deeper into the field. The hot blood leaps
through the veins. No longer do you see
the shivering, half-fearful youth of few
minutes before. Now it Is a throbbing
machine mighty engine of power.
Such is the harvest Of some 3,ooO,0O O'OOO
bushels annually of the king OF crops.
The brain of man has often forced ad-
miration from the skeptical. Invention
by growth and Improvement conquers
difficulties that are legion. But whether
or not hands of iron will ever replace
the hands of flesh at husking corn in
mud and frost, in down and tangled corn,
in all the vicissitudes of autumn in a
land wet enough to grow corn. and bring
back dollar for dollar and harvest ear
for ear, IL yet open to doubt.

FALL ACTIVITY IS
BEGUN IN EARNEST
Supplies Well Equal to De-
mand in All Lines on
Morris Avenue

Business on Morris avenue yesterday
was very brisk. 1t is believed that the
present week will witness good trade and
that the fall activity is on in earnest.
Supplies are well equal to the demand in
all lines with the exception of poultry.
Hens are hard to get and fryers are be
coming somewhat scarce.
The produce market is in good condition.
Dealers yesterday reported very good
business and the supply is we'll abreast of
the demand. No change in quotations
was noted
The fish market is now well supplied
with all species of edible fish. The de-
mand is fair and there is no likelihood
of change in prices in the Immediate
future.
Alfalfa was advanced to $26 ton yes
terday and 1t is firm. The demand is very
good in the grain market Wheat con-
tinues strong with rising tendency and
wheat shorts are now selling at $50 a ton.
No change in corn prices was registered.
Business in the meat market was char
acterized with the same briskness that
pervaded the avenue and the supply is
consistent. Prices are upward in tone.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'S Letter

New York, September S.--(Special.)- .)-Af-
ter the close of business on Saturday,
the Senate adopted the amendment post
poning the tax until September /. 1914
This act was therefore known in Liver
pool before the opening of our market
and was accepted as relieving the cotton
trade of the danger of revolution In
business methods for year.
1t is needless to comment upon the
severe losses caused SO far by the agita-
ton of this measure upon the growers
and merchants. AS the market was es-
sentially dependent upon Washington
news, 1t advanced sharply with but a
slightly reaction at the opening and
closes substantially so points higher than
Saturday.
Not only was the cotton trade demoral-
ized, but the cotton goods trade was com
pleteiy upset by the Clarke amendment.
All the Information received today
points towards a very moderate crop and
q large consumption.

CORN RISES TO NEW
HIGH PRICE RECORD.
December Option Scars and
New High Level in Other
Futures Barely Missed

Chicago, September S.-Corn today roae
to a new high price record for the sea-
son in the December option, and narrowly
missed new nigh level in other futures.
Tnadequacy of relief from drouth and heat
was largely responsible. Teh close,
though easy, showed an advance of s4c
to 7s@1l.c net. Other leading cereals too
made gans-wheat, 1s0ta4cQssc, and oats
IM3slhc. In provisions the outcome
varied from 5e decline to 17lac advance.
Over most of the corn belt osly scat
tered showers We're looked for and spec
ulative offerings which had been liberal
at the outset dried up quickly when 1t
was noticed that buying orders from the
country were absorbing all that the pit
could supply.
Toward the end of the day corn bulls
were held in check by uncertainty re-
garding the government crop report due
after the close tomorrow. On the other
hand, the market was sustained by Sat-
urday's Missouri state report, which told
of the condition Of the crop there fallir &
off 20 per cent since the corresponding
time a month ago.
Wheat received most help from the
strength of corn, but the dry weather
aroused some fear of decreased acreage
and late seeding Primary arrivals We're
not half as large a year ago The les
sening was due entirely to the WITHHOLD
ing of winter wehat southwest, where t c
shortage of corn is most severe. Lower
cables caused II little weakness early aud
there was drag later owing to the slow
ness of milling and shipping demand.
Oats followed corn upward, notwith-
standing the visible suppl yexhibited Il
huge gain. Best prices, however, were
not maintained.
Provision trade consisted chiefly of
transactions in lard. Packers supported
nearby deliveries and sold the deferred
months.
