Mercury 90, Finger Frozen

From the Ph1IadeIph1a Record.
 Altoona, Pa.-Freezing ones hand when the mercury is lowering up around 90 in the shade Is rather rare nevertheless. that Is what three-year- old Sherman Dodson did. His father is an ice cream manufacturer. and sherman had often seen men about the plant remove the plug from the tub containing a big freezer and let the brine run out. So he thought he would try 1t.
 When he attempted to reutrn the plug he could not find the hole. and the brine poured over his hand until 1t froxe the tiny member The fingers were swollen to twice their normal size. but the doctor says he will be all right In few days.

IRREGULAR COTTON
 MARKET DEVELOPS
Though Dealers Are Nerv- Ous Sharp Rallies Come
 at Times

New York, October 22-The cotton mar ket was extremely nervous and irregu- lar today. an early decline being followed by sharp rallies which were partly lost in the late trading. January contracts sold at 12. 4sc carly but advanced to 12.7So and closed at 12.57c, witn the general list closing steady at net advance of to points for the day.
 There were good many overnight sell ing orders around the ring at the start, and after opening at decline of to 2 points. active months sold to 9 points net lower under scattering liquidation and local pressure. The heavy concen- trated selling which was the feature or yesterdays market was not so much in evidence. however. and offerings seemed to taper off around 12.S2c for December and 12.66c for March. Very bullish spot advices from the south, continued rains
 in the eastern belt and a somewhat more optimistic view of European conditions probably checked the selling movement and when shorts turned to cover they found comparatively few contracts offer ing. As prices worked upward the buy ing movement became little more gem eral and before the advance was checked December had sold at 12.6lc and March at l2. .s4c, or 2l points above yesterday closing figures and 2S to 30 points above the low level of the morning Around these prices the market seemed to meet renewal of liquidation as there was rather heavy selling from some of the brokers who were credited with having sold heavily yesterday and closing prices showed reactions of or points from the best. Trade interests were credited With buying here on the decline, while tfere was also considerable support from southern sources, but commission house business was less active than recently, ana there seemed to be tendency in some quarters to even up accounts for over Mondays ginning report.
