WEEKLY REVIEW
OF COTTON MARKET
General Trading Shows Ex-
element With Movement
of Prices Sensational

New York. October 2o.-It has been
an extremely active week in the cot
ton market, with trading at times
showing great excitement and with
the price movement sensational Seldom
in the history of the trade has there
been greater overnight advance than
that which occurred from the close of
last Tuesday to the high point of
Wednesday morning, and not since the
autumn of 1872 have higher prices been
witnessed at this season of the year
July contracts, for instance, have sold
at 19c, while January deliveries
touched 1870 on the advance of
Wednesday morning, or fully $40 bale
above the low level reached under the
influence of the submarine attack at
the beginning of the previous week
Since then there has been heavy gem
eral realizing and sharp reactions have
January on Thursday was followed by
a partial recovery today on reports of
killing temperatures in Oklahoma and
parts of Texas. The advance during
the earlier part of the week reflected
a continued broadening of outside de-
mand which was doubtless encouraged
by reports of an active trade in cotton
goods at advancing prices, the con-
tinued absence of spot pressure and the
unfavorable appearance of the weather
map. People who had sold out long
contracts on an apprehension that the
submarine situation would interfere
with exports were also influenced by
continued liberal clearances and there
was a good deal of replacing of old
contracts as well as fresh buying for
long account and covering. The gulf
storm which entered the belt during
the middle of the week caused heavy
rains but it seemed generally be-
lieved that it would do little harm ex-
cept for possible damage to the grade,
and the influence of the killing frosts
reported in the belt this morning was
modified to some extent by previous
reports that there was little chance
of any top-crop. Reactionary or bear
ish sentiment which became more gen.
eral at the advance was encouraged by
an idea that domestic spinners had
now bought sufficient cotton to be
rather more Independent and there
were also reports of increased southern
hedge selling above the 1Sc level. Pri-
vate returns were rumored to show
ginning of about $4,000 bales up to
October IS.

Definite plans have been made that will

sites and plans are being made for the
buildings.
The promoters of the project have in
contemplation the erection of a large CEN
trail building where agricultural exhibits
will be placed. Surrounding this build
ing will be stables for cattle, horses and
stock pens. There will be a stadium for

LITTLE NEW YORK STORIES
BY A BIRMINGHAM MAN
By ALLEN GRIFFIN JOHNSON

New York, October 2O.-(Special.) New
York city is so happy in It's inquiry that
it doesn't want to be reformed. Least
ways, it doesn't want to be reformed by
Billy Sunday. Know Billy? He is differ
ent from pineapple or peach, sundae, but
peal fer most people.
Billy, who was first ball player, then
preacher, has made arrangements to in
wade New York city April /, 1917, and to
keep UP the fighting for three months.
And now that it's all settled, we find
that about half of us don't want Billy at
all and the other half does.
You see, every time Billy enters a town
and starts the trail hitting" among the
citizens, he procures something like $780,
900 to $4,000 for his services, and the
question has arisen in Gotham as to
whether Billy is going to be worth it
here. OF course, there are several mil
lion people here who probably do not
even know whether Billy is coming or
not, and care less, but the argument
started among the ministers
The Episcopal church clergy says that
a majority of them are against Billy
coming; the Lutherans have refused to
participate in the services; the Univer-
salist and Unitarian churches are strong
ly opposed to letting Billy start any
thing, and a poll of all protestant cler-
gymen in the city shows them divided
about $3.50, for and against Billy.

eEtation of the states side of the case
to the jury.
The alleged murder was committed on
December 90 1914, since which time Bar
ton has been out on bond. On previous
trials the juries were out all night, and
in one instance at least, the II men who
held the fate of Will Barton in their
hands were in the jury room two nights.
All through the trial Barton sat inn
perturbable beside his counsel, while
across the room Mrs. Holland, widow of
the murdered man, remained an inter-
ested spectator of the proceedings.
At the invitation of the First Presby-
terrain church of this city the choir of
the First Presbyterian church of ITALIA
dega will present special musical pro-
gramme at the evening services of the
Admission church, located on Quintard
avenue, next Sunday, beginning at 7:30
o'clock. The pastor of the church, Rev.
S. E. Hodges, will preach a short SER
mon. A large crowd is expected to at
tend this service, which will last prob
ably an hour.
