October g Requirements made BY the Liverpool
exchange that margins need not Be deposited until

cannot Be paid 10 Liverpool brokers until the ques
ton has besn accomplished through the ballot.
The new prices have not been acted upon in
New York following the determination Of Liverpool
10 reduce the limit TO 81 in that market In
defense Of this position Liverpool claims that the
South has been Offering cotton At much lower
prices This is probably true. but must have been
foreseen q month aEo.
It also is true that English spinners complained
TO the government that prices in Liverpool were
held higher than JUSTIFIED by American quotations

CHICAGO GRAIN.

Chicago Oct Action Of the wheat market TO.
day brought forth smiles from the big elevator
people who have sold wheat for export. II has
been said that large part Of the wheat sold 70
foreigners during the last two months did not call
for delivery until October and the recent sharp
declines in the market making II easy for the
sellers to fulhll their contracts There have been
times when the market suffered breaks such wit
messed today when the trade could look for some
support from the big interests. but action Of this
sort cunspicuOusly absent today. and 1t Ees
evident that the elevator people were perfectly
satisfied with the course Of prices.
Early in the session wheat pTices showed q gain

prices crashed downward. Closing figures were N
also lower than previous resting spots The in
creasing discounts on cash wheat, No. ? red and
hard grades selling cents under December prices.
accommodating supplies at all points and lack Il
buying mower were all disturbing factors No wheat
was reported as sold here for account, while the
cash sales to mills Wers only I5ooO bushels. Kansas
City reported 10000 bushels Of wheat sold there for
export and It said that forty loads were worked
from New York.
The Liverpool wheat on the spot was unchanged
to lc lower while Paris nc higher for wheat
and Ike higher for -four. The action at Paris was
reported due to the Confirmation Of dAnage to the
crop in Northern France and to sharply decreasing
STOCKS
Com futures were also strong early and suffered

than previous closing figures Weather conditions
over the corn belt were all that could be desired
for finishing the crop. and fall pastures are fine
Some improvement in the Eastern shipping demand
was reportsd, but local cash sales were only 1000
bushels
Oats followed much the same program as other
grrins and finished za5Sc kWer than previous chs
ing figures. The market was affected by the severe
break in wheat and there heayS selling by
prominent local professional. Cash people were buy
ing futures early but sales Of only 100 900 bushels for
export were reported from here. Sales Of cash oats
to shippers were 5000 bushels.
Provisions were under the severe liquidation -

credited with picking up lard early. A de-

WARNINGAGAINST
COTTON BROKERS
South Carolina Editor Says
Only Distress Cotton Should
Be Bought.
UNIFORM FIRE RATES
Western Maryland Shows Gains.
Maryland and Pennsylvania Will
Not Meet Bond Coupons.

w. D. Sullivan. publisher Of the Co
lumbia Is. CO Record. who Is in the East
in the interest Of the buy-a-bale-of-cot-
ton movement said yesterday that Co
lumbia alone had bought 800 bales Of dis
tress cotton at the rate Of 10 cents a
pound. The movement has been eftectivs
in advancing the price OF the staple IN
South Carolina about ? cents pound
its chief value being that 1t instiIls farm
ers with confidence and prevents need
less sacrifice of their cotton regardless
Of price, said Mr.. Sullivan. He esti-
mated that this advance in value means
$4,000, 900 saved for his State alone.
81 want 10 prevent" continued Mr.. Sui.
Ivan, ''well-meaning business men and
others here who are interested in this
patriotic movement to aid the South
from making the same mistake that has
been made by other cities OF placing
their buying orders into the hands OF
spot brokers in the South. 1 know one
case where these brokers bought the
cotton as cheaply as they could and then
accepted 10 cents a pound from the
Northerners, who supposed that the full
price went TO the farmer.
In Columbia my paper has conducted
a campaign which reaches the distress
farmers alone. We do not accept orders
from farmers whom we know to be able
TO weather this storm without our aid.
We buy only actually distress cotton.
What New York should do is TO distribute
its buying orders throughout the cotton
States, say. according to rate Of produc-
tion, but through local associations in
those States which will see TO It that the
farmer himself gets the full 10 cents a
pound which you people up here are
subscribing for his staple"
Uniform Fire Insurance.
The action of the National Board of
Fire Underwriters to hold a special meet
ing this month for the purpose Of acting
upon the plan to adopt a method of uni
form classification is considered one OF
the most important matters which has
engaged the attention Of fiJ.e underwriters
for some time past. The plan embodies
a standard classification OF fire risks of
all States and a uniform method in the
presentation Of loss reports from all parts
of the country.
The legislatures of the various States
represented in the National Convention
OF Insurance Commissioners will present
bills legalizing this new plan. This work
will have the result Of giving the fire
underwriters and the various States, in
the course Of years a table of mortality

Western Maryland Gains.
With the increase of Sll. sS5 in gross, a
decrease OF 81, 3lS in transportation eX-
penses and an increase in net of $751;
ia the Western Maryland Railway Com
pany's statement for August bears out
the augury presented at the beginning Of
the fiscal year that the ensuing twelve
months would be highly important ones,
fnacially speaking, in the history OF the
system.
For the first two months of the fiscal
year, July and August, the figures are
as encouraging as for August alone.
Thus, while there was decrease in OPP
Grating revenue Of Sl6,244, there was like
wise a decrease in operating expenses Of
S9I,SS6, while the net for the two months
increased S7S,1t2
1t will thus be seen that the road is
maintaining the good mark set in hold
ing down expenses and getting a larger
volume of business and increases in net
earnings.
EngIaud's War and Trade.
American financial and commercial
houses engaged in international business,
especially those having English partners
or branches, are interested in the war
measures taken by the English govern
ment against German trade.
King George has issued a second pro-
clamation against Trading with the
enemy" superseding the less drastic
regulations published in the London
Gazette at the beginning Of August The
debates in Parliament and the discussion
in the London financial journals Indicate
that English business men are having
difficulty In determining to what eX-
tent they may engage in routine transac-
tions without becoming liable to fine and
imprisonment.
Sir John A. Simon, speaking for the
attorney general IN Parliament recently
stated that the proclamation against
trading with the enemy was designed
primarily as a warning, and 1t was a
matter not only of commercial good
faith, but of good business, to make It
plain to private citizens that their rea-
sonable commercial interests and vested
rights in England were safe. He said
it would be foolish to say that just be-
cause some enterprise had Austrian or
German connections II should be os-
tracked. The true method was to make
certain that such an enterprise did not
transmit goods or profits to the enemy's
country. In regard to the payment Of
dividends to share holders who were
foreigners England was not engaged in
any process Of conhscation.
An enemy" under the Kings pro-
clamation. Is any person or group Of
persons Of whatever nationality resident
or carrying on business in Germany or
Austria A German business man in Lon
don or New York, who has no business
relations with his own country, Is not
an enemy" An American, or even an
Englishman, doing business in Germany
is an enemy OF England. II a New
York importing house has as its repre-
sentative in Berlin an American citizen,
this American is an enemy" King
