SENSATIONAL RISE
 IN COTTON PRICE
CONDITION REPORT LOW
BULLISH GINNING FIGURES Al, so HELP IN ADVANCE OF
 OVER HALF CENT.
From Mondays Daily

ITOH luOuudy OdHy-
 A bullish report by the census bu- reau on cotton ginning, followed a few hours later by an unexpected low government condition report, caused an advance of about 60 points in the New York cotton market today.
 Cotton on the local market crossed the 13-cent mark today, that being the ruling price since II o'clock this morn- ing. Saturday the staple was bring ing 12 1-2 cents here.
 , The report on ginning was made public upon the opening of the cotton markets at 10 o'clock eastern time. It showed 2,9000,000 bales ginned to September 25, as compared with B. 3OOO.OO0 to the same date year ago. On this report the market opened at an advance of about 20 points over Saturdays close.
 The report of the bureau of agri- culture on the condition of the crop on September 25, showed the crop to be only cos per cent of normal, a heavy deterioration from the peced- ing month, and. two or three points lower than generally expected by the trade. This would indicate total yield of less than 100000 bales, the shortest in many years, and the fu- lures market shot up 50 points in a few minutes trading.
 Estimates of this years crop, both in this county and in the cotton belt generally are being rapidly lowered, and it is generally admitted the crop is one of the shortest per acre ever grown. Many predictions of higher prices are being made, and the farm CTS of this county are not rushing to the market, even to obtain what last year would seem to be an impossible price.

price until this morning. Today the battle continued, the price advancing 25 cents and 50 cents at a time to S31.5O. At noon one buyer stated he was authorized to offer $32 if neces- sary to purchase the seed. The mar ket was so unsettled this afternoon that it was impossible to quote a fixed price. There were predictions that seed would climb even higher and others that an agreement would be reached and something like SPA per ton settled upon as the price.
 The cotton market was slightly lower today, average receipts bring ing Is Is cents, while 13 IA cents was paid for a few bales.

PfDACOCUfS WIN:
 BULLDOGS BEATEN NORMAL SHOWS CLASS
DECISIVELY DEFEATS L. R. COL LEGE-HENDRIX LOSES
 TO VARSITY.
From Mondays Daily.

From Mondays Daily.
 The Arkansas State Normal foot ball eleven Saturday afternoon trim med the Little Rock College aggrega- tion on the Normal field, 40 to 0, with but little difficulty, while another Conway team, the Hendrix College Bulldogs, were being swamped by the University of Arkansas Razorbacks at Fayetteville to the tune of Il to C..
 From the initial kickoff it was evi- Ident the Normalites would emerge with the big end of the score Coach Dan Estes bunch had it on the Cath olics in every phase of the pastime. The Teachers slightly outweighed the capital city gridders.
 The work of Shallow" Dodson, left half for the Pedagogues, was a pretty thing to behold. His sweeping end runs, on which he rarely failed to gain from 15 to 40 yards, stamped him a star. He is quite apt at shaking off opposing tacklers, and at stiff arming he is in a class by himself. He scored the Normal's first touchdown.
 The work of the entire backfeld, and of most of the linemen, was good. The fierce onslaughts of the collegians caused the line to crumble several times during the early part of the game. However, this deficiency was soon remedied and the gains through the line were few thereafter.
 "Pin.' Mizell, the midget snapper back of the Catholics, played the most consistent game for the visitors. AL though small of statue, he proved to be good groundgainer, especially in returning punts. McQuire, right half, and McDermott, left half, also made some good gains for Little Rock.
 Coach Hendricks Bulldogs were too light for the Razorbacks, being out weighed about 15 pounds to the man. The Hendrix line had been changed, disorganizing the team somewhat, which also is responsible in some de- gree for their defeat.
 At times, however, the collegians line held intact, the Razorbacks find ing it impregnable. Once, with the ball in Arkansas possession on Hen drix' three-yard line, the Bulldogs braced and held for downs.
 Hendrix used the forward pass ef- Actively, which was their best meth cd of advancing the pigskin.
 The next game for the Bulldogs will be with Southwestern University at Georgetown, Tex, on Tuesday, Oc- tober 12. Southwestern is Coach Headricks alma mater. The Bulldogs last year defeated the Texans 49 to O, and hope to repeat the victory.
 The Normal will play the Arkansas Cumberland College Mountaineers of Clarksville here next Friday. The Normal lineup will be stronger than it was Saturday, Legg, Brooks and G.. Dodson probably playing the entire game.

LET CONTRACT 10
 PAVE DISTRICT 5 WORK TO BECIN:AT ONCE F. F. CONNOLLY IS GIVEN CON. TRACT AT 89 CENTS PER
 SQUARE YARD.
From Wednesdays Daily.

From Wednesdays Daily
 A proposal of P. F. Connolly of
 Connolly & Shelby, contractors for paving district No. 3, to pave dis trict No. 5 was accepted this morn- ing by the board of improvement, composed of Dr. H. E. Cureton, chair, man, w. D. Cole, Jr., secretary, and G. w. Adkisson. MT. Connolly's pro- posal was practically the same as that under which the contract for district No. was let Tuesday to Halter & McCulloch, 89 cents per square yard, including five-year maintenance guarantee. The latter will be pro- vided by c. w. Jones, who will have supervision of the work, using the outfit and crew of Connolly & Shelby. The contract has not yet been draft ed and signed, but it is stated that the work will be begun tomorrow, simultaneously with that in district No. 4. By the time a sufficient amount of excavation and grading has been done, the paving in district No. will have been completed, so that the ma chinery may be moved over to No. 5 and the work proceed without delay.
 The streets to be paved in district No. are as follows: Beginning at the intersection of the railroad and North street, west on North street to Locust avenue, north on Locust ave- nue to Prince street, west on Prince street to Davis street lending at the southeast corner of the public school grounds); beginning at the inter-sec- tion of Prince and Clifton streets, north on Clifton to Independence street and east on Independence street to the railroad rightofway. B. G. Wilson is engineer and c. E. Con- dray attorney for the district.
 The work in both districts is ex- pected to be completed within 90 days, or by the end of the present year. These two districts will complete all the paving projected at present, but there will doubtless be other districts formed next year. The five districts completed or contracted will furnish a total of about five miles of con- crete paved business and residence streets, none of which will be less than IS feet in width and from that up to 60 feet Each district will con- meet with another at two or more places. It is said that no town in the state of equal or even double Con- ways population can boast of as much paved streets as this city.

 According to United States weath- CT authorities, frost does not rise or fall. It is deposit from the air. At all times it requires temperature below freezing at the surface of the ground to product frost. With a clear sky and no wind an official tenn perature of 45 degrees will be accom- ponied by hoar frost. At that tenn perature there must be perfect calm. If there is any wind there will be no frost.
