tisan. In both schools Whitman de-
feated Seabury by a substantial major

The election was conducted In the

Democratic and Republican leaders In
Riverdale the regular sample ballots
were secured. II the boys marked these
just as did their fathers in the booths.

by the boys TO relief work was s6S3.

MARKET RALLIES;
 LOSSES ARE SMALL
Market Steadies After Irregular Day. and Close is AZ Lower Selling Held in Check by Low Temperatures in Southwest.

New York, Sept. 15.-The cotton market was nervous and irregular to- day, but rallies followed an early de- cline and the close was steady, at a net loss of to ' points. December contracts advanced from 1556c to 15.69c and closed at 15.64c.
 The market opened steady at a de- cline of 6 to 10 points, in response to lower Liverpool cables and reports that one of the more prominent crop experts with English connections es- timated this years yield at 13,000,000 bales, excluding linters, or about q million bales above the official indi- cation published at the end of last month. Private cables attributed the decline abroad to increased Southern hedging and there was also some Southern selling here, while there was on long cotton for over the weekend.
 Selling was held in check to some extent by nervousness over lower temperatures in the Southwest and there were moderate rallies right after the opening. Offerings seemed to increase on early bulges, however, and the market gradually worked off until active months were about II to 13 points under last nights closing figures, with October selling at 15.39c and January at 15.63c At this level realizing was less in evidence and the market turned firmer in the late trad ing on covering and trade buying, which was attributed largely to eX- porters. The close was within or ] points of the best.
 The market closed steady.
