SQUIRREL AND KITTEN PLAY
Gamo OF Hunting and Being Hunted
watched on Lawn In Melrose
Billie Saves His Dinner.

In some sections Of Melrose the grav
squirrels have been petted and fed to
such an extent that they do not hest.
tate to enter houses In search Of nuts
and dainties. 1t Is common to see as
many as half dozen of these souir.
rels playing about the lawns Mt one
ume, and they seem almost to have
lost their fear Of mankind.
Inc other day an odd incident was
witnessed in which one OF these souir
rels figured His squirrelship, locally
known as "Billie," was engaged in for
aging for some OF the nuts he had
cached in the grass on lawn near a
huge oak. He was seen by q playful
maltese kitten about three months old
When 1t noted the sonlrrel, the be.
riDDoned kitten became all attention.
Ihen' nature asserting itself, tho kitten
crouchcd and began to stalk its quarry.
l5lllle' was perfectly aware Of the
kittens proximity, and with one eve
watched it's attempt at q stealthy ap-
proach, while with the other and his
nose he proceeded with his search
The kitten appeared puzzled at tho
boldness of the squirrel and it's curl.
oslty became aroused to such an cx-
tent that it neglected it's crouch and
arose to it's full kitten height better
TO see what the squirrel was doing in
the grass.
Then as the squirrel paid no alton
ton to 1t, the kitten slowly walked
over to within two feet Of the squirrel,
IL to,
sat upright to open it..
Without a preliminary crouch the
kitten jumped for the squirrel Billie
leaped at the same instant, but went
clear over the back Of the kitten When
the squirrel came to the ground two
feet away, 1t at once resumed its ef-
fort to open the nut.
That was play the maltese could an
prcciatc. 1t crouchcd, wigglod it's
slick length, lcapcd and sailed grace.

dropped his nut, Dat otherwise did not

over It, AS he landed the little NAL
tesc ran for him. and he ran round
and round the kitten, purely in play
and without apparent fear.
For nearly three minutes the pair
kept up their antics. Then suddenly
there was black streak from the
flower bed as an older kitten rushed
for the squirrel. But Billie knew his
ground and his rush carried him six
feet up this trunk Of the friendly oak
by the time the older kitten was at its
base.
Then Billie hung, head down, tail
flirting, and in his squirrel way gave
that black kitten piece Of his mind.
After five minutes Of vain waiting for
him to come down, the 40 kittens dc.
cidcd they must delay their attack and
adjourned for a romp Of their own.
They were scarcely IS feet from the
tree when Billie leapod down, secured
his nut and scamporcd back up to q
shetcring limb of the oak to enjoy it

HURRICANE ADDS
TO COTTON PRICES
Highest Levels Ever Record
ed for Futures When Mar
ket Passes 10 Cents

New Orleans, October 1S-The hurri-
cane which swept into Alabama from
the gulf and threatened to strike the
eastern end of the cotton region, put the
price of cotton today to the highest
levels ever recorded for futures in this
market the distant months trading at
above 10 cents a pound. 1t was one of
the most excited markets of the season.
and at the topmost levels the strongest
months were at a. net gain of nearly $3.50
bale. Prices skyrocketed on the open
ing call and in the first few minutes of
trading were sent 65 to SO points above
the level of Yesterdays close. The July
option sold up to 19.17c. For awhile q
panic of buying reigned, and it was a
runaway market.
Leading interests on the long side as
sumed control of the situation by throw
ing overheard huge lots of contracts and
this profit taking movement soon spread
to smaller traders Before the session
was very old the market had steadied
down. and was reactng from the ad-
vance. From the highest to the lowest
there was a fall of 40 to 60 points, prices
still being at the lowest 20 to 30 points
above Yesterdays last quotations.
A more or less unsettled feeling pre-
vailed duriyg the remainder of the day,
with prices backing and filling nerv-
ously The close was barely steady at
a net gain of 20 to IS points. Spots
were advanced SO points to 17S1c for
midding, the highest quotation in nearly
50 years.

GREATER ACTIVITY
IN COTTON MARKET
Further Sensational Gains
in Prices Recorded
Yesterday

New York, October 1s.-The cotton mar
ket showed greater activity and excite
ment at the opening today than at any
previous time this season, and there was
a sensational advances in prices. July
contracts sold at 10 cents on the call
while before the buying movement sub
SIDED January sold at 1S.7Sc, or more
than $40 per bale above the low level OF
last week. That delivery closed at 1851c
with the general list closing barely
steady at a net advance of 80 to AZ points
for the day.
There was a rush of general buying
at the start, with first price strong at
an advance of 10 to 56 points. Only during
periods of extraordinary excitement have
such spectacular over night gains been
reported in the history of the market,
and it looked as if the threatening as
poets of the gulf storm had brought in
many traders who had previously hesi-
tated to follow the advance. BuIlsh
sentiment was also encouraged by the
firmness of Liverpool private reports
indicating that a very large proportion
of the crop had been picked and ginned,
and rumors of a falling off in private
ginning returns. Realizing was extremely
active, and the runor was that practical
ly all the older longs were taking prof
it's, but there were only slight reactions
until after December had sold at. 1880,
January 1870, March 1S.S4c or about 81
to 67 points above last nights closing.
Even then offerings were well absorbed
on setbacks of Is or 20 points by broad
ening outside demand and further cover
ing, but the market became more nervous
and unsettled late in the afternoon. Re!
dictionary sentiment was promoted by a
feeling that a scattering long interest
had accumulated, while there were re-
ports that the demand from trade sources
had fallen off and sellers were also
talking increased southern spot offerings
Prices eased in consequence with jan
uary selling back to 1850 or about 2S
points from the early high level, and the
close showed reactions of some 20 to u
points from the best. Todays prices
were the highest for this season of the
year since the autumn of 1872.

Coffee Market

New York October 1S.--The market for
coffee futures was somewhat irregular
today, but slight early rallies were lost
in the later trading with the closing
showing a net decline of to points.
The opening was 10 to IA points lower
following yesterdays advance, but there
seemed to be a few buying orders around
the ring inspired by the less favorable
brazilian crop accounts of the previous
day, and prices stiffened up to about last
nights closing figures during the early
trading. Around sac for March and S.56c
for May offerings increased, with March
easing off to Sale, and May to S51c dur
ing the afternoon under scattering liqui-
de ton which seemed to come partly
from cotton trade sources. Sales were
reported of 40,500 bags. October, S.35c;
