NEW YORK MARKET
 CONTINUES STEADY
Trading in Cotton Remains Comparatively Quiet and
 Close Is at Advance

New York. November 20.-The cotton market showed continued steadiness to- day Trading remained comparatively quiet. and there was some little irregu- larity at the start as & result of seat tered realizing by buyers on the decline earlier in the week, but prices soon fiymed up, with the advance led by De- cember and with the close very steady at net advance of 1 to l2 points for the day.
 Liverpool cables made steady show Ing with prices there some PIE to 3ls points higher at the hour of the local opening. but there were few buyers here, and first prices were points higher on December. with later months unchanged to points lower. December eased off with the rest of the list right after the call, but quickly rallied on Liverpool buying, while the ab- sence of any important offerings led to rather n better demand for some of the later. deliveries Near month shorts evil dently found very little cotton offering. and December sold up to T17c during the afternoon or S2 points above the low level of Wednesday. Later months sold about to lS points net higher, and the close was at practically the best point of the day.
 The advance in December was explained by local brokers on the ground that out standing interest in that delivery was largely in excess of the local stock, and that the contracts were in the hands of parties who might hold them either for an advance or for actual deliveries. Gen. eral buying. however, was restricted by expectations of a bearish report from the census bureau tomorrow on ginning to November IA and continued reports of 2 slow spot demand.

Telephone Ethics

From the New York Times
 Several interesting and important ques- tions, none of them easily answered. are created by the people who, though they have telephones. refuse to have their ''numbsrs' in the company's directory and disclose them only to a selected and carefully restricted group of friends and associstes. There are a good many such people. and their evident purpose--whici, they attain--is to get for themselves all the advantages of the telephone service and to eluds all the annoyances which others endure as . part of the price for the enormous convsniences and econo. mics of time and money which this in- yention has made possible.
 From one point of view. therefore. the subscriber who keeps his name out of the book is guilty of selfish. s-socal conduct If he were initiated by majority of the subscribers it is obvious that the value of the telephone would be decreased in exact proportion to the size of the ma jority. and if they all did it the service would become. if not quite worthless. not far from 1t.
 of us revolts against what has just been called our slavery to the telephone. when we resent the ease of access to our attention which 1t gives to people who have no claim on our time and would not be allowed to pass tho doors of our homes or offices. But most of us, most of the time. moro or less phiiosophically accept theao little troubles and continue to let ourselves be "called up by any body as only fair return for exercising the same prtvilsGes

The Gyroscopic Ship
From the London Globe.


 First the gyroscopic motor. then the gyroscopic ship. 1t has occurred to the ingenious pr. Schilowisky that the same strange force which can keep land vehicle in perfect balance would be equally effective in preventing tho roll ing of a ship. The application of the gyroscope to this purpose Is not, We believe, new but whereas it has only been possible hitherto to check the roll ing gradually, 1t Is claimed for the new method that it annihilates the largest swing in one second. Dr. Schilowsky's m model is shortly to find place In the Science Museum at South Kensington, where, we hope there will be every cp- portunity of testing it. Apparently. the weight of the gyroscope sufficient Tor the purpose need only be minute frac- tIon of that of tho ship. 80 that there k no objection on this score to its em- ployment Suffering humanity VIII eagerly look forward to the day when the eyroscope is installed in the chan mel steamers and blessings are show cred upon the inventors head by trav- elers delivered once for all from tlie terror of the sea. Perhaps the gyroscope will not prevent the vessel from pitch ing. Never mind We can stand that if only the hideous rolling. the rolling that plunges Neptunc's trident into ones very vitals. can be stopped. IT Dr. Schiiowsky can do that we are pre- pared to hall him as one of the great est benefactors.

SECURITIES SHOW
 SLIGHT RECOVERY
Financial District Still Dis appointed Over Failure to
 Open Stock Exchange

New York, November 20-Prices of se- curities in the several private and unoffi- cial markets now in operation recovered slightly today from the recessons re- corded yesterday. Trading. however. was on more moderate scale. The financial district continued to show it's disappoint- ment at the failure of the plan to reopen the stock exchange for dealings in bonds. but the circumstances attending the sud den reversal of policy were recognized as inevitable.
 Estimates representing the amount of foreign owned American securities await ing sale in this market at the first oppor- tunity differed widely, but it was evident that this question constituted the chief menace to the domestic situation. By req son of the greater activity in the money market and the forthcoming changes in the clearing house statement necessitated by the new banking laws more than usual interest attaches to the showing of local financial institutions tomorrow It IS reasonable to assume that a larger surplus will be disclosed as result of the reduction in reserve requirements from 25 to IS per cent. There were indi- cations also of a small cash gain and a further loan contraction.
 Detailed reports issued by the more prominent banks of the clearing house ir- dicated that increasing sums of money were being deposited here, particularly for England and French commercial in- terest with sprinhling of German and Russian accounts. These deposits, it was said, were being constantly drawn upon to meet payments for war material, mer- chandise and foodstuffs. General bank returns also showed that further large amounts of emergency currency and loan certificates were being retired. To such an extent has this movement grown that another few weeks may witness the com plete withdrawal of these obligations Bank clearings for the week are consider ably larger than recently, but still much below the normal.

Japan Needs More Coal

Japan is calling for more coal. In
 that country the demand is far in ex-
 cess of the native supply, and to meet
 the requirements the Fushun colliery
 of Manchuria is preparing to open new fields and make extensive improve meflts in the old ones. When new in- clines at Wantawu and Oyama are com pleted the annual output, now 2.oo0. 900 tons, will be almost doubled. The col fiery now employs about 1b.o00 men. According to the Coal Trade Bulletin the Chosen railway consumes roughly 150,0o0 tons of coal year. This was exclusively supplied with Fushun coal last year. In addition, 600.0 tons of the same coal were used In the penin- sula. This amount might have risen to 500, 900 tons if sufficient facilities for transportation had been available. Out of the 100000 tons consumed by cus- toners other than the railway, 15,00o tons were sent from Dairon by sea, the remainder having been carried by rail direct from the collieries.
 The chief places of distribution were Seoul. with 10000 tons: Chemulpo. with 15,0oo tons; the gold mine at Choku- gan, with 4000 tons; Pingyang. with 1000 tons; Chinnampo, with 1900 tons and Tail<yu, with 1900 tons. Out of the 10000 tons for Seoul, 5000 tons were used for heating purposes in private houses during the winter. and tho rest by the government and military estab- lishments and factories, etc. At Che. mulpo, the Chosen Yusen Kaisha wal the chief purchaser for bunkerinx its vessels. The remainder was employed by the electricity plant and industria] plants, including salt factories A, Chinnampo, the harbor works and rice. cleaning mills formed the principal consumers. The major part of the DOT tion of Talkyu went to the tobacco fac tories there The greater distances car
 ried from the collieries were 6s2 milee
 to Talkyu and TIT miles to Shoteiri, on the Konan line.
 In the event of the railway being
 able to furnish all the cars required,
 the total consumption of Fushun coal
 in Chosen this year Is expected to rise
 above 250.000 tons.

Put Rich Man Off th. Car

From the Pittsburg Dispatch.
 New York.-'I never felt particular ly sorry for beggars until a few days ago." said & widely known business man whose check is good for S100, 00O today. "but know how it feels to os without a cent in your pocket, and un- able to borrow a nickel. I started for home the other night on trolley car and when the conductor came for my fare found that I didn't have a cent in my clothes.
 "'Come, cough up, there said the conductor, as I felt embarrassedly in every pocket. T suppose you'll say you lost your fare Well. that don't go see Too many try to work that OH me-
 All eyes were upon me and many smiled, but no one offered to come to the rescue. When we reached the other side of the Brooklyn bridge I got off, and went into several stores where l thought I would have no difficulty iu borrowing car fare. But although ] produced cards and letters to prove my Identity not q single one would givs me cent. I was finally forced to walk the two miles to my house. New York Is certainly chilly town when you're broks.~

WEEKS TRADING
 IS UNEVENTFUL Reopening of Cotton Mar ket Followed by Southern
 Hedge Selling

New York November 20.--The first week of renewed trading on the New York Cot ton exchange has been comparatively un- eventful. The reopening of the market on Monday was followed by considerable southern hedge selling of new style con tracts for March, May and July delivery, and there was also liquidation of old De- cember contracts attributed to some of the smaller local houses who had been allotted cotton by the corporation under the syndicate agreements. Prices weak ened some 50 to 60 points from the initial figures under this pressure, but offerings tapered off on the decline and the market has since recovered several points of the loss on covering and trade and in- vestment buying.
 Large trade interests here are credited with having purchased most of the De. oember contracts liquidated during the earlier part of the week, and the near month has led the rally on covering by the Liverpool short interest, which findi few sellers around the local ring below @ parity with southern spot prices. The talk is that the interest still outstandIns in December is greatly in excess of the local stock, and that the contracts may be held for an advance or actual deliv. cries.
 General business is believed to hay. been restricted considerably by unfamil. iarity with the merits of the new contracts which are being traded in for delivery 1T January, and later months and local brok. CTS are predicting a much more active market once some interest has accumu. lated, and 1t is generally understood thai the contract is fin conformity with the cot. ton futures law. Aside from this, the light business reflects . divided sentiment with buyers held in check by the exis- tence of large available supplies in the south, and the indications of a crop large ly in excess of requirements while sell CTS are evidently cautious at prices below the estimated cost of production and in view of the improving export trade.

HEAVY CLOSE IN
 THE WHEAT MARKET
Noticeable Lessening of Ex. port Buying Has a Ten
 dency to Weaken

Chicago, November 9o.-Noticeable les- sening of export buying tended today to weaken wheat. The market closed heavy at ssc to ss4lse net decline. Corn fln- ished is1ilo down. oats a shade off to isc up. and provisions ranging from setback of Dc to a rise of 7iao.
 It was current gossip that although Eu- ropean bids for wheat continued numer- GUS, holders here were not anxious to sell until a larger local stock had been ac- cumulated. Country offerings were small. Trouble in getting ocean tonnage remained a burden on the export trade and formed one of the sources of bearish sentiment.
 Corn ruled lower throughout, influenced by weather adapted to the rapid handling of the new crop and by the continued slackness of eastern demand
 Oats at first sympathized with wheat and corn. but later were sustained by an active shipping call
 Higher prices for hogs gave steadiness to provisions.
 Future quotations were as follows.

Hubbard Bros.'s Letter

New York, November 20.-(Special. ) Cables this morning were about as due and our market opened around last nights prices. There was, however, a distinct diminution in the volume of December liquidations, some covering from Liverpool and some buying by spot houses. December improved easily some 10 points. Tho balance of the market was steady at a small advance. There was moderate volume of hedge selling rather easily absorbed by in vestment buying. The attitude of the trade is still a waiting one. although there is some surprise that there is not further selling by the south. Our mills stills need cotton ahead, but it will take some little time to convince them that prices will remain steady.
