RULES AMENDEDON
 STOCK EXCHANGE
All Stock Quotations to Be in Terms of Dollars In-
 stead of Points

New York, October 12.-When the stock l fexchanse opens tomorrow. certain favorite stocks will apparently be halved in value. calthough in reality there will be no change i in their worth. Thus reading. Pennsy1- fvania and Westinghouse. selling Monday at 1.el, III and 1.3S, will be listed at Slsc, 5Sikc and 69c, respectively, unless .there be the usual variation in quotations over a holiday.
 The reason for this is found in an an- cnotncement made at the stock exchange today, asserting that certain amendments | to the constitution had been approved, al most unanimously, by the members One of these amendments provide for quot ing all stocks in terms of dollars in stead of points, as heretofore. Reading, Pennsylvania and Nesting house. together with a number of other issues are of $50 par value, but have been quoted on l00-point basis in the past. In future they will be quoted in terms of dollars which apparently halves their values.
 Another amendment provides for a change of one-half the brokers commits 1 sion of Is of 1 per cent. or s12.50 per loo shares for buying or selling stock quoted under s10 a share On these issues, which include Missouri Pacific, Missouri, Kan> sas and Texas, American Mailing, Rume- | ly, St. Louis and San Francisco. Wabash Iowa Central, Wheeling and Lake Erie. the brokers fee hereafter will be s6.2s per 100 shares.
 The decision of odd lots dealers to return to their usual charge of Is of 1 | per cent above the market in selling fractional amounts of stocks (under 100 shares) also will go into effect tomor- row. For several days the charge has been A of per cent This proved to be unpopular and some dealers are said to
 have lost business; hence the reversion to the former scale.

Ayery's Letter

avery Letter
 The cotton market yesterday got oversold and when the shorts tried to cover over the holiday in New York they found contracts so scarce they were forced to bid against each other and consequently put prices up on themselves. The cold weather and frosts which were reported helped to make the shorts nervous about carry ing any commitments over the holi- day and some fresh buying by old bulls helped things along.
 In New Orleans the burden of the bearish talk is that they cannot sell any cotton. The deadlock between the spinner and the middleman still con tinues apparently. In regard to this condition of affairs there are one or two things to be taken into consider ation in judging which side will be obliged to give In.
 Granted that the middleman has some high priced cotton on hand and also grant that the spinner has ample stocks on hand, at least for the pres ent. there is going to come time when the spinner will be obliged to buy cotton CT quit running. The mid dleman is standing pat. The only thing the spinneP can hope to do and that Is to scare the farmer into selling at the declpne and thereby get cheaper Sottou. fnlS IS all ne IS lTy1HS LOT. oo it all comes back to the farmer if he will also stand pat he will help the middlgman (who has paid him full price for his cotton) and who is now bearing the brunt of the fight with the spin ner; Farmers should be in position to market slowly with the prices they arg getting for seed. If they will do tHs they will reap the benefit for the Remnant of their crop later on. after the true conditions are realized. I saw message from Texas to a big New York speculator while in New Orleans yesterday saying that the Texas crop was 80 per cent ginned. If you dis count this 10 per cent to allow for exaggeration and figure on that basis it will indicate what the next ginning figures are going to show. The mar ket has been we'll cleaned out of weak accounts and in my opinion is tech nichally in a healthy condition. There may be considerably hedge selling from the middleman who has no other way to protect himself, which will make weight upon the market from time to time. hut the general trend will be upward.

Saturday Bowdoin and the Univer-
sity Of Maine close their official foot
ball season at Brunswick.
To Bowdoin the Maine game is the
big game of the year. Her team is
coached and trained especially for
this struggle. Even though Bowdoin
has met with reverses during early
season she may be counted to pro-
duee an entirely different brand OF
play at this impending final game. AZ
for Maine she expects to win and has
already planned a big celebration at
Portland for Saturday evening. Judged
by previous scores Maine does appear
favorite.
Bowdoin teams, however, have
reputation of playing the game all the
way through. 1t Is college tradition
at Brunswick to fight it out till tho
last down. So It may be expected thai
many followers of the game will take
Saturdays trains for Whittier feld.
The Maine Central will sell return
trip tickets good Saturday only for
81 at the Augusta station. Train No.

the last train to connect with the

But WITHOUT SUCCESS
Fined for Violating School Laws.
She Refuses to Pay But Final
" Willis When Deputy Sheriff
Starts With Her for. Jail. \.

Truancy cases which come before the
municipal court are usually as lack
ing in interest as they are few in num-
bers but one which claimed the atten-
ton Of Judge Lancaster Wednesday
was a decided novelty in the line and
several features which were
decidedly out Of the ordinary. The case
grew cut Of the fact that the school
authorities had been having no small
amount Of trouble in keeping the seven
at Is Bond street, in school.
The complainant in the case was
Supt. Stuart Of the public schools Of
the city and following his action
Truant Officer Brunette was ordered to
arrest one Theodore Coulombe, aged
IA years, for truancy. The boy was
taken to the police station and locked
up. after which his mother. Mrs. Annie
Coulombe, was sent for, but when aft
er her arrival at the court room the
boy was brought in she denied that he
was Theodore, and Supt. Stuart was
obliged to admit that such was the
case 1t was afterward shown that
the name of the boy brought into
court was Eugene.
1t was about this time that the un-
usual feature of the case developed, for
following an absolute refusal of Mrs.
Coulombe to make her children go to
school and an exhibition Of her def
ance of the school authorities, during
which she is said to have uttered some
strenuous remarks to the truant off
Ger, she was arrested for violation of
S>f No oh
failure to send her children to school,
the penalty for which in each offense
is not more than $25 or 80 days in -ail.
She pleaded not guilty to this charge
and was fined 81 and costs, amounting
in all to s4.62, but this disposition of
the case was not to her satisfaction
and she vowed that she would not pay
the fine. The alternative left for her
was to go to jail, which she decided to
do and actually held on to that in
tention apparently until the court de-
livered the mittiumus to Deputy Sher-
III Emery Uhereupon she wilted and
agreed to pay if the court would al
low her to go home and get the money.
