 "Shouldn't7" he replied tempestuous- ly. That's what this ticket in my invitation says. See herer

PREDICT BETTER
 SITUATION SOON Cotton Exports Excite En- thusiasm of New Or
 leans Bulls

New Orleans, October 8.-Although the price of cotton still had a downward tendency today. exports were large enough to excite bullish enthusiasm and lead to predictions of much better situ- alton soon.
 The crop of three sixteenths of cent pound in spots at Dallas, with mid ding reduced to cents, caused liquida- tion trading in contracts here to be at T lower level and January was quoted at 7.s0 bid and 7.65 asked. Local spots were unchanged at 1S-16c for middling. Bulls sent out telegrams calling attsn- tion to the fact that total exports for the day including coastwise shipments. were S9,636 bales against total port re- ceipts for the day of 36,79e bales. This was the first day of the season when exports exceeded receipts. Total foreign clearances amounted to 3o192 bales. Of this amount 12, 22o bales cleared for Japan and China. A shipment of 3405 bales for France was the first cotton cargo to clear for that country since the war started. Spot men said that g. continued move ment of this sort would rapidly cure the present situation in the cotton market.

 Drop

Chicago, October s.-wheat. notwith- standing the erstwhile substantial upturn, closed weak. IS to 1asc under last night. Other leading staples, too, all suffered . net decline, corn X to %d1c, oats 19ass to ssc. and provisions 5 to 55c. Domestic and Canadian stocks of wheat were fig ured as amounting to more than 7,0oo,ooo bushels in excess of the figures one year ago. It was after this announcement that the market took a downward slant from which there was no important reaction. Disappointment in regard to the fresh export business counted also against the bulls.
 Corn gave way under predictions that the government report tomorrow would indicate an increase of 5o.ooooo0 bushels in the probable yield this season. Fail ure of expected rains tended also to weaken the market. zs-s=..z=-.ss,
 In oats, as in other grain, sentiment was chiefly adverse to the bulls Ex- port call was declared to have been lighter than for several days.
 Lower prices for hogs carried down provisions. A contributing influence was the slowness for the cash demand for meats.

them was followed by a numerous

the fire escape because the flames sur
rounded it, so we came down the back
steps. Just think, seven flats and
fourteen turns to make; then jump off a
high platform, was the first girl to
jump. The building beside us was a
fireworks factory and while we were
all standing out behind the building an
awful explosion occurred and the
people all began to run and push,
knocking each other down and fainting.
I was knocked down by man and
he kept on going, not stopping to pick
me up. | was so weak that whenever
tried to get up some one would push
me over again. Finally man picked
me up and started off. l said, Put
me on my feet and can rum so he did
and got away all right but am stiff
and sore and my clothing was torn.
Four people were killed but no one on
our floor was hurt. A little boy was
suffocated in the building next to us. -
