IS pad for the kidneys, but it is a
recognized fact that the Indians
proved teas from roots and herbs,

beneficial. A tea of this kind

COTTON PRICES MI E
NEW HIGH LEVELS
Buying Induced by Expecta-
tions of Bullish Figures
From Census Bureau

New Orleans. September i3.-After hest
tating at the advance throughout the
session today, cotton firmed up toward
the close, made new high levels and
closed within a point of the top of a net
gain of Fl TO % points The buying late
in the day was almost wholly induced
by expectations of bullish August con-
sumption figures from the census bu-
reau tomorrow morning.
Better cables than due. cold weather
in the western belt. too much rain in
some portions of the Atlantics and in
Texas and fear that the South Atlantic
storm passing inland over Florida might
bring more rain TO the belt caused a
moderately strong feeling in the early
trading and brought rise of Is to Il
points. This did not hold weak because
of profit taking operations on the long
side. Around the middle of the day much
was made of the claim that hedge Of
ferings in all contract markets were
smaller and prices responded to renewed
buying this time rising to a net ad-
vance Of Is to % points Recessions
again followed, but in the afternoon the
qmarket became steadier on rise of
II to 13 points in spot quotations and the
close was firm on the expectations re-
garding the consumption statistics.

DECIDED ADVANCE
OF COTTON PRICES
General List Closed Steady
at Net Advance of 10
to "a Points

New York, September 13.-Cotton was
higher today with December selling UP
to 15.54c and closing at 15.52c The gem
eral list closed very steady at net ad-
vance of 10 to "a points The market
opened firm at an advance of IA TO IS
points in response to higher Liverpool ca
bles. Private advces indicated that the
market had been influenced by small
southern offerings and a better trade de-
mand accompanying increased activity in
Manchester. They also suggested that
the trade abroad considered the rains
in Texas more likely to damage open
cotton than add to the final crop.
Houses with Liverpool connections were
good buyers here, but there was a good
deal of realizing around the initial fig
uies as well as some scattered selling
for turn and prices eased off or 8
points from the best right after the call
with December selling at 1880 and
January at 15.46c. There was trade buy
ing at this level. and early sellers seemed
to be covering after the close of Liver
pool, while support was probably stimu-
lated by reports that a. New Orleans
authority estimated the crop at 12690,00O
bales, including linters. At any rate,
the market developed renewed frmness,
selling some 20 to % points net higher
before midday.
There was continued trade buying or
the late advance, while there seemed to
be replacing by old longs who had taken
profits last week, and some fresh buying
for long account
Southern offerings increased slightly
above 15.50c for January, but appeared
to be readily absorbed and last prices
We're within point or two of the best.
Reports of larger spot sales in the
south and a firmer basis helped the late
advance here.

on Trial i'm San Francisco

San Francisco. September 13.-war-
rem X. Billings. a machinist, charged
with planting the suitcase bomb, whose
explosion caused the death OF 10 per-
sons and injuries to 40 more on pre-
paredness day here July q, is on
trial today for his life. The twelfth
juryman was chosen early In Tuesday q
session. Assistant District Attorney
James F. Brennan in his address to the
Jury said he expected to prove the
metal pieces used in the construction
of the bomb were identical with metal
scraps found in Billings room at the
time of his arrest a few days after the
tragedy.
Superior Judge Bunne. presiding at
the trial, ruled that the metal parts
could be introduced for Identification,
but not as evidence. The afternoon
session was devoted to this phase of
the case.
Four other persons, including one
woman. are under indictment in con-
nection with the bomb plot and will be
tried separately.

STOCK TRADING
ACTIVE AND BROAD
"War Brides" in General De-
mand With MeteOric Adj
vance in Prices

New York, September 13.-Trading again
was extremely active and broad today.
Total sales amounted to 1,2SO,OOo shares,
making the seventh consecutive session
In which dealings have run into seven
figures. United States Steel and the
motors and rails furnished a large per-
centage of the output. The movement in
rails and other investments was the most
noteworthy of recent weeks, but was
overshadowed in the final hour by a gen
eral demand for war brides" especially
Crucible Steel, which rose S1h to SO.
Further meteoric advances were regis
tered by some of the high priced special
ties Bethlehem Steel gained 3024 points
at 555. General Motors added So points
to yesterdays gain of So, the stock going
to 697. This establishes a new record for
any issue in the history of the stock ex-
change, aside from Northern Pacific,
which sold at $1,000 share in the MEM
orable corner of 1901.
United States Steel was plainly under
the influence of further realizing, rang
ing between 1o4 and 1854. within u point
of its maximum score in the previous
day and closing at 1854, net gain of
q point. Baldwin and American Locomo-
tives which we're rushed forward in the
final hour with Crucible, made extreme
gains of to 4 points. Gross gains of
almost six points were scored by Maxwell
and Studebaker, with more moderate ad-
vances in accessories except Kelly
Springfield Tire, which was distinctly
weak. Mexicans, sugars and leather is
sues helped to swell the rising tide, but
marines and other recent favortes, in
Guiding paper group, again were suscep-
tible to profit taking at 1 to point re-
cessions.
The bond market lacked especial fea-
sture, except for a shading of United
Kingdom IS on fairly large offerings.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter

New York, September 13.-(Special.)
Liverpool advanced on fear of damages
from the rains in Texas and the predic-
ton of frost in the southwest which
failed to materalize. More demand was
reported from Manchester on the advance.
AS frost did not appear on the map,
sellers found market rather lower than
due, but on decline the offers were all
absorbed by leading spinning broker,
supposed to be for the mills calling cot
ton.
The weekly cotton report was consid-
cred rather more favorable than usual.
The Wall street buyers appeared late in
the afternoon on the strength of the
stock market and reports of steadier mar
kets in the south. Hedge selling was
again the feature as there is no short
selling in anticipation of a decline on
the heavy movement, which is likely to
continue on basis of present prices. The
local sentiment is very bullish on the
arguments advanced during August.

Avery's Letter

Liverpool was several points betlex
than due this morning, which was re-
Elected in our market, first prices being
about Is points above yesterdays close.
Trading was not very heavy and fluc-
tuations were narrow. Prices worked
down about 10 points on hedge selling
in the early session, but held very steady
around this level. The market rallied
during the last hour and the close was
at the top, showing a gain of around e
points from yesterdays finals.
The weekly weather report was about
as expected. Indications are for unset
tied, rainy weather over the greater part
of the belt for the next few days, which
will retard the movement in case it ma
terializes.
The census bureau will issue its report
on consumption for the month Of August
at o'clock tomorrow. Spots were
quoted steady over the entire belt, quo
tations ranging from 10 to Is points
higher, with only moderate sales. The
farmers show disposition to resist any
decline from the present level and 1 con-
tinue to favor purchases on any setback

cost and freight, but at this level re-
finers seemed less disposed to market
commitments, it being generally believed
that they were pretty well supplied for
the time being at least after the recent
liberal purchases. The close was firm
at 411c for Cubas. cost and freight; equal
to $50 for centrifugal and Also for
molasses. In refined a good business was
reported and prices were 10 points higher,
reflecting the advance in raws. Elk
porters were gain in the market and
there were further sales reported al
though details were lacking.
The market for sugar futures was
strong and business was of record pro-
portions. Outside interests bought ag-
gressively and there was considerable
from the trace which was thought to be
against recent sales for export account.
Closing prices were to 10 points net
higher, or half dozen points under the
highest, the reaction resulting from scat
tered liquidation. October sold from 4.42c
to 455c, closing 450c; December 4.40c to
447c. closing 441c; March, 40Sc to 4.12c,
closing 4O7c; May, Also, closing 417c;

bears may contest every advance, but
it looks like losing battle to us.
We think a short crop is inevitable,
and with domestic consumption of the
actual increasing daily, with exports dou-
bic that of last year, with an enormous
hedge short interest outstanding. with
the south disposed to withdraw offerings
on all declines, we fail to see where a
bull need lose any sleep.
The oil market shot up today March
advanced 43 points from last nights clos
ing; December 81 points. Chicago was
the principal buyer of March today. The
local oil crowd was bearish early this
morning; they are bullish tonight. We
believe refiners and trade interests are
short of about every oil option from De-
cember to March. They are likely to
cover tomorrow on any strength. Eleven
cents for March tomorrow would not sur
prise us. Watch it.
