 At last an illiterate member rot up and exclaimed:
 1T ham stonished, I ham surprised, I ham amazed. Mir. Mayor. that you will not let us 70 to lunch"

LARGE ATTENDANCE ON EXCHANGE FLOOR Cotton Men Seem More Op- timistic Regarding the
 Future

New York. October 26.-There was a larger attendance on the floor of the cotton exchange here today than for sometime nast and the members seemed more optimistic. The census report show ing 7,61o,sS2 bales ginned to October 1s. comparing with 7.75s.s2 bales in the 1911 bumper crop. was considered in line with the larger estimates Of the crop. but the announcement that Great Britain had de- clared cotton non-contraband of war and would not interfere with cotton shipments in neutral bottoms. made a favorable im- pf ession. while. it also was anticipated that plans for financing surplus supplies in the south would help the situation within the next few weeks.
 Local spot handlers reported no inn mediate improvement in demand but said their offers from the southwest were from 1-16 to 1sc higher.
 It was rumored that negotiations vera progressing between New York and Liv- erpool with view of simultaneous open ing of the markets.

Philippine Insects
From the Electric world.

Insects in tho Philippines show distinct appetItes for insulating material. as is proved by the ravasss of ants and cock reaches on insuiAtsd wire and similar substancss. Nor are these the only pests which the electrical engineer in the orient encounters. Horse lisards. seeking dark. cool places in which to rest. often crawl into electric light meters and lay their eggs on the magnetic drag dislxs. The Philippine ants. too. like to build their nests in automatic signals. Annoyance from these native pests has. however. been prevented to a great extent by seal ing up all openinGs with pitch.

WHEAT DROPS UNDER { SELLING PRESSURE Opening Is Strong But Pros poets of Enlarged Receipts
 Is Bearish

Chicago October 26.-Accumulating sup- plies put wheat today under much sell. ing pressure. The close was steady al e decline of ssc to sc net. Corn. fin ished ssa34c down. oats off ssc to ssasfc and provisions varying from loss of s0c to 200 advance.
 Notwithstanding that wheat at the outs set showed considerable strength, it soon became depressed owing to the prospect of enlarged receipts from first hands. It was estimated that Kansas farmers were still in possession of 100, 600 GO bush els. The domestic visible supply total went decidedly above last years figures.
 Colder weather had a bearish effect on corn. Slowness of shipping demand was an additional drag and so was a sharp decline at Buenos Aires. Oats dls- played a slump with other grain. \ Provisions first had an upward ten- siency. but later gave way to the mora active months
 Future quotations were as follows:
