5IOJkS IRREGULAR AND PRICES DROP
of War Shares
 to Adverse Influences Show Artificiality

New York, october 5.-Reactionary endenefes were uppermost throughout oday's stock market session. despite Iome new high records in the war hares. It was this particular group. lowever, which manifested increased \ eaviness, and their susceptibility to Adverse influences demonstrated anew he artificial and speculative character | If the sensational movements in this lass of stocks
 Selling of many of these issues was esumed at the outset, the decline be- Eng a continuation of yesterdays late Operations. The early decline was oon checked mainly as result of the improvement shown by railways, but ven this maneuver failed of effect, a econd decline setting in before noon. During the midsessiof, prices were gain lifted, in some instances rising yer their first recovery. but all these tains were wiped out later on the Circulation of reports of an accident to k1n American war vessel. This caused |1nother and more hurried scramble to Unload such issues as Baldwin Loco- Xriotift, VI SIuClDle oltei, 1eneTdl Elec- 1 ric, Westinghouse, Bethlehem Steel, ffontinental Can, and several of the botor shares breaking to 15 points From their high quotations of the pre- ious hour and bringing the average l evel well below yesterdays final rices.
 When it was learned that the acci-
 lent consisted of nothing more than
 minor explosion on a torpedo boat
 h home waters, prices immediately re-
 fieved a part of their loss, only to
 10 still lower in the final hour The flling of that period was accelerated
 y activity on the part of the short in-
 erest, which recognized the hollow
 Dne of the market and made the most
 if the situation
 Liquidation was most extensive in
 he later dealings and support was
 pkewarm at best. The outcome re-
 nlted in the closing of numerous mar
 inal accounts and to a degree that the
 harket now presents a stronger tech
 ical aspect. Total sales amounted to
 175,000 shares.
 Among the new records made while
 'rices were at theis best were Bethle- aem Steel up 4h, General Motors to
 30. and Continental Can 11M to 127.
 Bonds were irregular to heavy with Tesh foreign selling. Total sales, par
 lalue. aggregated $S.S20,00O.

ANOTHER ADVANCE
 IN COTTON PRICES
Jump of Seven-Eights of a Cent Yesterday-Further
 Rise Indicated

Thirteen-cent cotton, the prediction
 of cotton experts and statesmen, bids
 fair of arrival shortly in the local mar
 ket. The spot cotton market closed at 125sc for strict good middling yes terday. The market is strong, ana indications point to a further advance, an advance of ssc being made over yesterdays opening during the day.
 Brokers here are taking buying orders galore. Everybody seems to be holding on. believing the market has by no means reached it's limit Many local speculators have placed orders in the future market at New Orleans, and the tendency seems to be to hold for an even higher price.
 On Morris avenue business is slow, the rains of the week adding to the dreariness. Merchants are pessimistic- ally inclined in some markets but poultry, eggs and butter are reported as improving. The demand is only fair | and prices generally are sagging. Re- | ceipts are desultory

SHOW OF STRENGTH IN COTTON MARKET Prices Rising to New High Levels, But Gain Lost
 At the Close

New Orleans, October 5-while the cot
 tor market made a decided show of
 strength iii the early trading today rising
 42 points on the strongest months to new
 high levels for the season. the tone be- came unsettled in the afternoon, and about half of the gain was lost. The close was at a net advance of IS to 21 points. Heavy trading featured the ses-
 sion, at times realizing sales from the long side were large.
 Around the opening prices were about 50 points up on good cables, rains in the bel, anc bullish expressions based on yes terday's unfavorable bureau reports of frost ir the western belt and the forecast of frost tonight in several cotton states incl eased the demand, which was met by only scenty offerings. January was sent to IS. 0sc and December threatened the 13c
 mark Little sign of reaction was to be seen until reports were received telling of breaks in the stock market. Errors in quotations on French rentes increased the selling. and prices were sent down some- thing more than s1 bale. Late in the session renewed support was offered and the close was steady, to points up from the lowest of the day.

Something of 2 Blessing

1T
 Congressman Henry T. Rainey of Ilh- nois remarked at dinner function the other evening that even noise has it's bright side. and told this story as an illustration:
 Sometime ago Brown went to visit a friend in an adjacent village. and as they sat on the front porch they could hardly converse for the numerous noises that rang in their ears First 1t was the shrieky whistle of train then the bark of a dozen dogs. and next explosive auto mobiles and yelpy kids.
 This racket is something nerce, Jim, '' remarked the visitor trying hard to make himself heard T don't know how you stand it."
 "Oh it ain't so bad when you get used to it." answered the host, "and then again it has It's bright side.
 Has it's bright side! exclaimed Brown in surprise. Where in the deuce do you see it?"
 Its this way" smiled the host, If it wasn't for that locomotive whistle the dogs. the automobiles and the kids, things would be so quiet around here that could hear that bloomin tenor singer across the street."

 At a suburban dance' given at the local town hall there was a. man who met with mishap on the floor, due to hls lack of skill in dancing.

 Why" exclaimed the man, when I tripped on the floor just now and fell sprawling all my length incidentally ripping off a large section of my charming partners gown, you were tho only one in the place that did not laugh"
 The other smiled grimly. "The explanation lies in the fact that the lady is my wife and that l have paid for the gown

 The nqrthern spinners. having missed their market. are trying des- perately to hold prices until they can get some cotton. They have talked big October movement and every thing else they could think of in or der to bring about a reaction. The recent break came too quick. and the rebound was too rapid for them to ac-
