PRICE 0F COTTON DROPPED LAST WEEK Middling Closed Lower Than in Several Years-C0nfer-
 ences to Be Watched

New Orleans. October 5.-The price of cotton again dropped to lower levels
 last week, middlng spots closing at 6ls cents a pound. the lowest of the
 week and the lowest in several years.
 while January contracts at one time stood at 6:s5. closing at z cents. In the interior, prices at cheapest markets went down around 6 cents, Dallas quoting at that level after. the middle of the week.
 A factor that contributed not a iittis to tho decline was the refusal of in surance companies to take war risks on cotton shipped in neutral bottoms to neutral ports. England forbade Eng fish insurance companies taking such risks. it being understood that the ground for this attitude was the claim that much cotton was finding it's way to Germany through neutral countries. The influence of this stand was to be seen in the weeks exports, which were smaller than for the preceeding week, tile figures being S2.196 bales against |S7S36 last week and 345.S45. the cor Iresponding week last year Exports for the season now amount to 397,47h bales against 2,079,535 bales during the same period last year and 1,S71,275 during the same period two years ago. This week the conferences between leadine financfers of this country and England will be watched by the cotton trade with great interest, because of l the growing belief that they will lead | to plans that will accomplish the re- lopcning of the future markets

conference with British treasury dele gates at Washington were jointly effee- tive factors. Severe depreciation in Ger man marks was supposed to reflect to merchandise eonsignments through indi- rect channels. Suggestion of British ac- oeptanee of short term notes from Amer ican debtors. coupled with action towards free purchase of cotton by British mills promises excellent results on the most difficult problems still unsolved
 The opposition developed to freight rate increases at the hearing before the in- terstate commerce commission chilled confidence that the railroads petition would be granted. Railroad abstemsion from buying of materials emphasizes the pi ostraton of the steel trade For the present the grain movement Is serving to sustain railroad traffic.
 It is not improbable that the plans of the British government for protecting the London stock exchange debtors, upon the expiration of the moratorium on Novenl- Der 1, may decide, to great extent the question of an early reopening of the London exchange and our own.

THE FINANCIAL SITUATION

New York, October 25.--One of the most gratifying features of the past week in financial circles was the wiping out of the deficit in cash reserves by New Y orlS banks and the substitution of an excess amounting to about ss, 100000. These in- stitutions reported a deficit of almost S4S, ,000,0 ,000 two weeks after the commence ment of the European war
 It is clear. however, that it is trade recession that is sending cash into bank reserves in increasing volume. The money market relaxes correspondingly from week to week. Clearing house certificates and emergency currency are being retired. As yet very moderate investment has been stimulated. Prospect of the federal re- serve law becoming effective by mid November promises further large addi- tions to available credits.
 A pronounced slump in foreign ex- change was feature of the week. Oper- stions by tlie bankers gold pool, the stream of fcodstuffs exports, cessation of tourists expenditures and the expected

Canning Mushrooms

To inquirer who asks for recipe for caEning m1shroomssI would say try dry ing them. Prepare as you do for cooking. and dry in the sun or oven, as you would fruit or vegetables. The small or button mushrooms may be strung Strings. When they are dry put into clean glass jars. Soak them for short time before cooking to replenish the moisture. then cook as you would fresh mushrooms. We pu; up quantities of them in this way for winter use. If you see fit to add the in- closed in your Corner l shall hope to be of more assistance in the future in passing on ideas that have been of service to me WELL WISHER..
 In Italy the dried mushroom is as we'll known as the potato in America. While it loses much of the sucoulent richness of the fresh mushroom. it retains the dis tinctive flavor as well as the French .'champignon" does and may be wrought effectively into pates and stews It is passing ideas like these that makes the circulation of the system of the Corner active and healthy. The more of such contributions we get the stronger and comelier we shall be.

No Crime in Horses Bite


 Magistrate Deuel decided in the Norris ania court yesterday that Zito Pazerono of 5l0 East One Hundred and Fifty-sev- enth street was not criminally responsible because his horse bit a man and girl. and he oTederd his release after the police had arrested him on charge of assault in the second degree
 As the horse was standing at One Hun dred and Thirty-third street and Third avenue. the Bronx, Jacob Kinner of 54l East One Hundred and Thirty fifth street passed. As he went by the horse nipped him on the ear. Patrolman Brady drove inc horse to the Alexander Avenue Po- lice station, where a doctor was sum- moned for Kinner, and Pazerono was asked to explain why he drove such ', vicious animal. M
 But he is not vicious, he said. 'He is as gentle as a lamb."
 Just then screams were heard from the street. and several policemen rushed out. They found that the horse had bit ten Annie Dorgan. 6 years old. of e7a Alexander avenue, on the head. infiictins | scalp wound.

Other Lines of Legislation

Interesting in other lines of legisla- ton was the repeal of the Panama canal tolls provision, in which the President was opposed by many strong men in his party, headed in the House by Speaker Clark and Representative Underwood. and In the Senate by Senator O'Gorman, chair man of the committee on interoceanic canals. Of the men who helped put this meas sure through, 1t is estimated that 5( per cent surrendered their own judgment and violated the wishes of their constitu- ents in belief that MT Wilson as Presi- dent and leader of his party knew best what was good for the country and for the democratic organization.
 Other laws which might be mentioned as of more than passing interest were those admitting foreign ships to Amer lean registry. providing for federal insur- ancer of shipping, providing for the build 335, 900 O00, and for the leasing of the coa lands in that territory; for promotion of efficiency of the naval militia and CO operation with the states in agricultural exteT sion work.
 And last, but not least, is the war tax mea sure, to raise over s160. 0.0o0.000 for the treasury to make up for the loss of in come from customs duties owing to the European war.
 Thus the members of Congress consider themselves entitled to brief vacation and to the letter of commendat.on recent ly issued by President Wilson, to say nothing of their mileage at 70 cents a mile, going to their homes and returning to the capital. or vice versa.
