COTTON DOLLAR
A BALE HIGHER
ON j. s. REPORT
Exceptional Advances Follow
Whei Crop Prospects Are
Declared UnfavorabIe.

NEW YORK, Oct 4.-cotton .aa-
Vanced over dollar a bale in few
minutes on the cotton exchange to-
day following the publication of an
unfavorable crop report by the
government. agriculture department.
The cotton exchange rivaled the
stock exchange in activity while bull
traders sent prices up 55 to 5S points.
Shortly after noon cotton for October
delivery was up 5S points at 1928, De-
cember was up 81 at 1254.
WASHINGTON, Oct. A heavy
decline i'm the condition of the grow.
ing cotton crop during September
almost double the average the de-
cline Of the last ten years, has de-
creased the production prospects
forecast earlier in the season by al
most million bales. The depart
ment of agriculture today estimated
the crop at 10,950,0 900 equivalent 800
pound bales, which would be the
smallest crop since 1909.
In announcing the condition report
and production estimate, the crop
reporting board made this statement:
"The cotton crop condition declined
S,4 points during the month August
% to September -, which compared
with an average decline i'm the same
period in the last ten years of A

sos per cent. of normal on September

allowing a reduction of l per cent.

of about 10950,0 900 bales. Last years s
production was 16, 1876, 900 bales and the
1913 crop ID ,156, 600 A crop less than
II 100000 bales would be smaller than
any crop since 1909.
"The unusual deterioration has been
due principally to the extreme OF
weather conditions, periods of exces-
sive rainfall, cold weather and
drought having characterized the sea-
son in most of the cotton belt. Lack
of fertilizer and poor quality of the
seed has been an unfavorabe factor
in the eastern portion of the belt
There is little promise of a top crop
except in the northern portions of the
belt, due to the climatic conditions
and the unusual activity of the boil
weevil; and where a top crop is set
ting, in the northern portions of tho
belt, the latest report of the croI
makes realization dependent upor
future favorable weather and lat'
frost.
"The month, much of il warm ant
dry. has been generally favorable Il

of the crop is ginned to this date thar
in the usual year. In much of the
Southern portion of the belt ginning
is far advanced and in some section:
there picking is practically com

NEW "NT' ORDINANCE
IS NOT YET ENFORCED;
MAY Be MORE DELAY
Police Await Conference With
Various City Officials Be-
fore Acting.

Owing TO a hitch which evidently
was unforeseen by the Board of Works
and Chief of Police Michael T. Long,
the new traffic ordinance, which will
regulate jitney bus travel, did not go
into effect today as was expected.
The ordinance may become operative
tomorrow, but this will depend in a
large measure upon the results of a
conference this afternoon between the
Board of Works officials. Chief Long
and the police commissioners.
That the ordinance was not in ef-
feet today became known when traf-
fic men at the -Four Corners" and
other important traffic points in the
city said they had received no in
structions regarding the enforcement
of tlhe new ordinance. They said.
however, that the police school would
meet tonightHat the First precinct sta
tion. when Commissioner Frederic
Bigelow would instruct the men in re-
gard TO the enforcement of the ordfn-
ance.
Commissioner Bigelow said he had
not been asked to visit the police sta
ton. but that he made frequent visits
there and would talk with the men
if requested to at the conference this
afternoon. The commissioner further
said that he was not certain when
orders would be given to enforce the
new ordinance.
Chief of Police Long said he sup
posed the ordinance would become
effective tomorrow, but he would have
to take the matter up with the Board
of Works officials today. He said that
for the present, the old rules would
be in vogue.
Morris r. Sherrerd. the city en-
gineer. said that the reason the ordin-
ance had not yet been put in force
might be due to the fact that the Of
ficials might be waiting until the
Common Council ordinance fixing the
licenses fee was passed.
"I had thought that possibly the
one way traffic rule for jitneys on
Park place might be put into effect at
once" he said. "but it may be that
nothing will be done until the Com
mon Council ordinance is passed. The
Board of Works has nothing to dc
wien the licensing of jitney owners.
"Then, too. there is the question OF
bonds for jitney owners. ] think they
have two weeks in which to get them
The five days for advertising the new
ordinance is up"
The one way rule to which Mr.
Sherrerd refers provides that after
the Board of Works ordinance be
comes effective. jitneys may run in a
northr1y direction only on Park place
from Market street to the Manhattan
tubes. Mr.. Sherrerd said that Rector
street would be the logical thorough
fare for drivers to use in making the
turn to come back downtown.

counseled against violence of any
kind Plans were gnade for holding
meetings during the afternoon in va
rious union halls. 1t was said the
plant would be picketed Immediately
The strikers walked from the plant
to Red Mems Hall. where q mass
meeting was called. AS they passed
crowds gathered along The streets and
the men were cheered.
The strike came after the griev-
anee committee of the Metal Trades
Alliance had accepted the company
offer of a 521a-hour week. The men
refused to accept the compromise, re-
pudiated the committees action and
struck
Led by 100 girl co-workers the
strikers paraded through the city.
Each girl held aloft a large placard
on which was painted figure eight.
The strikers sang as they marched
Put this in your bonnet,
With the eight hours on it,
And don't mind wha he bosses say.
For when the fight is over
Well all be in clover,
For we'll work eight hours day"
The last previous strike at the plant
came in November. .1913 Union work
ers objected to etdismissing of two
employees who had been active in or
ganization work. They were restored
to their positions.
