AMERICAN COTTON TO
SELL At NINE CENTS
Rapid Progress Also Reported in
New York Towards Resumption
Of Business There

New York, Nov. THE Liverpool
Cotton Exchange opened today for
restricted trading, it was announced
in an official caIblegram received to-
day by the New York Cotton Ex-
change.
Trading was in May June deliver
les The operations VIII be confined
to the liquidation of old contracts and
new buying. New selling will not be
permitted.
Rapid progress was reported today
in the plan for reopening the New
York Cotton Exchange. 1t Is expect
ed that the officers of the exchange
will announce the date of the re-
opening of the local market immedi-
ately after receiving a court order
permitting the sale at Sc pound to
the proposed corporation of bankers
of cotton owned by the suspended
firm of S. Fl. p. Pell & Co. This or
der, it is believed, will be secured
today.
The decision to open the Liverpool
exchange was regarded in trade cir
Giles here as a step toward the re-
sumption of general business in the
futures market which has been clos
ed since the end of last June.
The outstanding interest in the
English market was originally con-
centrated into January-F February, but
was transferred into May-June this
morning and it is anticipated here
that the acceptance of new buying
orders will greatly exhilarate liquida-
tions, particularly as the minimum
price fixed for American cotton Is
considered far under a parity with
prevailing values in the South and
should consequently prove attractive
to buyers.
No progress was made today in the
settlement of the straddle interests.
Gables received from Liverpool re-
ported that 100000 bales had been
liquidated there by ballot on Tuesday.
releasing $4,000 bales OF the straddle
interests for ballot locally. But the
price in Liverpool was equal to only
7c for December here under the ag-
reement and local traders have de-
cided not to ballot below isle.
Complete liquidation of the straddle,
however, is not considered necessary
to the resumption of business under
the corporbtiont syndicate plans of
taking over old contracts.

him ~about the retirement story.

1t May Be Necessary to Go
Over Proceedings.

After the sensational case of James
D. Larimer as trustee for the creditors
of l. M. Blitz, suing the German Ameri-
can bank for the recovery of $1,000 had
been completed with the exception Of
the arguments Of the attorneys in the
case, the trial was called off and the
whole proceeding will have to be gone
over because r. S. Weir, one of the
jurors. has the humps.
The discovery was made when the
case was called this morning and Weir
failed to report for duty The attorneys
for the bank were willing to let the case
go on with only eleven jurors, but the
plaintiffs refused.
Judge Whitcomb was doubtful wheth-
er the case could be legally postponed,
because in SO doing the other eleven
jurors might be called to serve on other
cases without being discharged from
the Blitz case.

As young woman began to versffy.
The result was eventually the volume.
THE Defense of the Bride" Most of
these poems appeared from time to
time in the magazines, and 1 am re-
minded by letter from Emerson, now
carefully preserved, that he encouraged
me to go on writing verse
At this time my mother, who was a
practical minded woman, suggested
that I should write a novel. i felt un-
equal to the task and said so: but 1
thought that II ever I had the courage
to undertake the work it should be one
OF absorbing plot.
My mind turned to thinking Of plots,
and one day it occurred to me that the
nucleus for story might be hinged
upon the fact Of a person passing the

accusation, and attributing it to the
