FRESH TRADING ON
 NEW CONTRACTS
N.Y.COtt0n Exchange Mem bers Approve Futures
 Amendment

: New York. October 1a.-Members of the New York Cotton exchange at a meet ing today informally approved amend ments to the bylaws which will be voted upon tomorrow. These amendments are designed to meet the requirements of the cotton futures law, and it is still antici- pated that when the exchange reopens for business fresh trading will be confined to the new style contract. There is to be a special meeting of the board of man agers tomorrow and it is believed that a report will be received from the special committee on the plans for a clearing house. which, if approved, will be soon placed before members of the exchange for consideration. Other plans preliminary to a resumption of business are said to be making satisfactory progress. and some definite statement regarding the syndicate scheme is hoped for within the next few days. Spot cotton was reported a shade easier in the western belt today, and about unchanged to hc higher in eastern belt markets.

THE JOHNNY J. JONES SHOW HERE FOR WEEK
Thomas and Margaret Quincy in High Diving Act Healthier for Fall
 Attraction

The Johnny J. Jones Exposition shows opened yesterday at Second avenue and Seventh street for a weeks stay in Bir- mingham. The crowd on the opening day was very creditable. and all who pene- trated the mysteries hidden by the can vass apepared highly satisfied
 The free acts with the Jones shows are excellent. The headliner is Thomas and Margaret Quincy in high dives. The man dives from a height of 92 feet. while the woman simultaneously springs from a platform 60 feet high. The two dive into water only three feet deep. The crowd last night was highly appreciative of the act and was generous in its applause
 The Quincys claim to be the champion high divers of the world, and certainly they are daring and graceful ones. There is an absence of 'stalling'' on the part of both of them. Quincy poises himself for moment, gauging the distance to the pool below him, and then plunges head first into the water 90 feet below. A twist of the neck just as he touches the water prevents him from striking the bottom. The act will be repeated daily.
 The other free acts are excellent. There are two bands giving concerts daily, and ''Baby Sue." trained elephant. The feature shows include the following: Cap tain Curley Wilson's trained animal cir. cut. pit shows of wonders. Babcock's mo- tordrome. Johnny J. Jones minstrel, Kinsers merry-go-round. Ferris wheel trip to Mars. Alma and Zada, giant and pismy; Professor George, giant midget Edna and her strange pets:' Joyland place of mlrth; tango palace, Rogers ath. letic show and the flea circus.

REUNION OF VETS ID |bE HELD IN MOBILE Begins Thursday-Every- thing Is in Readiness.
 Young to Attend

Mobile, October 19.-(SpeciaL )--Every-
 thing is in readiness for what Mobilians believe will be the greatest Confederate veterans reunion ever held in Alabama. II opens next Thursday morning in this soldiers since the gathering at Selma in
 1912
 Mobile has concentrated upon the re- union. In the beginning the Chamber of Commerce named Charles B. Hervey
 general chairman, and he built up an organization that has worked steadily for six weeks. William H. Monk, as
 chairman of the subcommittee on finance, has raised s2500 for the decora- tion of the city, for the entertainment of veterans and maids of honor, sponsors and others who accompany the old sol- diers
 Probably 300 Alabama veterans will be
 in attendance. While it is for them that the reunion is to be. they will be the
 minority of visitors. for all of the rail-
 roads in the state have made low rates to Mobile for the occasion and probably 5000 will be present. Besides the veterans, there will be the Alabama Sons of Con- federate veterans, members of the United Daughters of the Confederacy and others. Many dlStlnguiSneu vlsitOrs are eA- rected to arrive in the city before Thurs day Among them is General Bennett H. Young. commander in chief of the United Confederate Veterans, who telegraphed Mayor Harry Pillans that he will make every effort to meet his old comrades here. There will be present also Mrs.
 McLaurin Stevens, of Bradon, Miss, president general of the United Daugh- iors of the confederacy: Mrs. E. B. Ross If Auburn and Mrs. l.. M. Bashinsky Of Troy.

WALL STREET IS
 MORE CHEERFUL
Condition of Banks and Formation of Gold Pools
 Change Situation

New York. October 1s.-Reonan;n1 of
 the eastern freight rate case before ,be Interstate commerce commission. the excellent condition of tho local banks
 as disclosed by last weeks statement. continued progress in the formation of
 the gold and cotton pools and an easier tone to foreign exchange, combined to put Wall street in a more cheerful frame of mind today The decline in bills on London, while accompanied by little actual business, was accepted as an ougury of further relaxation by foreign holders of maturing American obligations.
 There was a revival of recent rumors dealing with the early resumption of business on the local exchange, but fin conservative quarters that was received with a degree of reservation. Regard less of contrary statements. the beliei persists that this market cannot safely renew operations until London points the way. The presence in this coun- try of a representative of the British excheQuer. and the appointing of a termination of the moratorium In Eng land. will result in developments in this point in the future.
 The total already placed at Ottawa to the credit of the Bank of England Is said to be sufficient for all temporary requirements and the sentimental ef- feet has been salutary. but estimates of the probable extent of exports have increased to s50.00o,00o.
 An abstract of reports made by some 7500 national banks to the comptroller of the currency on his recent call. re- veals the fact that these institutions hold clearing house certificates aggre- gating s53.000.000 with an increase in bank notes of almost $200, 000. 900 while individual deposits are smaller by abort $150,000. 900. These figures give signit- icance to the steady reduction of loan certificates now being made at most reserve centers. X further gain in western merchan- disc tonnage appears to be due largely to shipments by manufacturers engaged in meeting foreign orders for war ma | terials. the movement so far as it re- lates to foodstuffs showing irregular | lity. In fact. grain receipts at Chicago
 were under those of the preceding week | if above those of corresponding period 1 last year
 | Money brokers reported a shading of rates for time loans, but only In in stances where collateral of the highest grade was offered. Call money was in light request at unchanged rates.

 National Apple Day

E Business on Morris avenue began yes terday with a fairly good demand in most lines, and sales were reasonably good for the beginning of the week Mer- chants in many instances are renewing stocks, which were somewhat depleted by the heavy weekend sales of the week before. Poultry and eggs are expected to increase in demand as the week pro- gresses,. and shipments will be received daily to meet the demand of the retail trade.
 Apples of all kinds are now very much in evidence in the wholesale district Kings. Baldwins and winesaps are meet ing with popular favor in Birmingham Today is national apple day, and its cele- bration consists of eating at least one apple. This fruit is exceptionally plenti- <ui this season. and prices are somewhat low.

PREDICTS REFORM IN
 INTERNATIONAL LAW
Judge c. c. Holt Addresses the Maritime Law
 Association

Washington, October 1s.--Reforms il in- pean war. were predicted by Judge George c. Holt of New York in an address here today before the Maritime Law associa- tion of the United States. of which he is president.
 Judge Holt declared a determined effort would be made after the war to put stop forever to the capture and destruction of merchant vessels. In the Crimean war. he said. France and England allowed Rus sian ships six weeks to depart from ports unmolested after the declaration of war: Japan was allowed seven days. and Rus sia two in the Russo-Japanese war. and Spain 30 days and the United States rve during the Spanish American war. 'But no sooner was this war declared" he said. than the universal rapIne be- gan. It is reported that Great Britain de- tained 95 German vessels in British ports and Germany 70 British vessels in Ger man ports. All neutral ports in all parts of the world are crowded with idle ships. The commerce of the world is stopped in obedience to that relic of harbarism, the rule of international law that capture and destruction of an enemy's merchant yes sells Is legitimate In war"
 Another matter which almost certainly will become the subject of international consideration. MT. Holt said. is the pro- lection of fishing vessels and small boats engaged in local trade.
 The entire question of tho use of mines, the speaker suggested probably would be considered anew after the war. Floatina> mines. he said, had done much more cam age in this war to merchant vessels than to warships and he pointed out that for two years after the Japanese-Russian war Chinese junks were blown up by contact mines. The association today elected VII. liam Marconi an honorary member.

BETTER DEMAND FOR SPOT COTTON Prices Remain Stationary, Largest Sales Since the
 War Began
KaIe. Bid..Asked.

New orleans, October 1s.-A somewhat better demand for spot cotton was noted in the local market today, although prices remained stationary at 6sdc for middling. The sales, 16ss bales, counting spots and f. o. b. cotton together were the largest of any day since the beginning of the European war.
 In futures a lower tendency was in evil dence with bids for January at 1.2oc and offering at 7.25c. Very little business was done, although there were signs that longs were getting tired of their holdings.
 Weather conditions over Sunday in the belt were favorable and it was consid- cred by some brokers that but for these conditions spot prices might have been marked up at a sixteenth.

EXPORT DEMAND r I|GHTENS WHEAT Corn and Oats Show Slight ! Gains-Provisions
 Vary

Chicago, October 1s.-stress of export demand brought an almost constant frightening of wheat values today There Twas a nervous feeling at the close, which ranged to sHc above saturday night g level, Corn gained f cent and oats EGN to Hc. The outcome varied from cents decline to an advance of 10 cents. Prospects for a severing of diplomatic relations between Russia and Turkey seemed to increase the anxiety of Euro Apean wheat buyers. and led to notice. able enlargement of speculative settle ment.
 Corn hardened with wheat, though al first the market was inclined to ease off as result of fine weather. Active domestic and foreign demand helped oats. One lot of 100,500 was sold to Italy.
 Provisions rallied owing to the bulge in grain. Early depression was due to hogs being more plentiful than expected
