U. s. Orders Improvement
 in Montgomery Diaries

Montgomery. October 1A-(special.) Dairymen of Montgomery who have bsen supplying milk to the restaurants which have been feeding the soldiers of Camp Sheridan while or duty are scrambling to put their dairies in condition to meet the approval of the United States public health service. all because the health service has announced that 1s of the % dairies are positively dangerous" Tests made during the week by the government officials showed that only . few dairies come up to the standard required by the government and not many moro which meet the conditions imposed by the city commission.
 Unless repairs in the sanitary arrange ments are made at once. the dairies will lose business. as the government will not permit any soldier to consume milk from one of the dairies and will not per- init any soldier to purchase food from restaurants which use the milk Many dairies have scores below 50 and others arc below co.

Stocks were again made a football of yesterday. The bears bucked the line for all kinds of gains and there was scarcely stock on list but what suf- fered. Some of the rails showed re- sistance. An analysis of the net declines for the day would indicate, with the exception of the gas stocks, those stocks more particularly in the war class sui fered most. I have repeatedly written that no explanation was adequate to explain these panicky conditions unless the market was dicounting peace. Either this is the explanation or there is some malign influence at work designed to try to make the second bond issue hard to float An item from Washington in the days news intimated an investigation would be made by authorities as to the cause for the so-called silent panic" Such an investigation might reveal some in teresting things, if it were possible to trace the selling to it's original source.

New Orleans Cotton

New Orleans, October 15.-The cold weather in the belt over the holidays resulted in a buying wave on the open ing of the cotton market here today which, in short time, put active months 63 to 71 points up. Heavy realizing Of profits on the long side met the ad- vance and there was a gradual recess sion during the remainder of the ses- sion the market closing practically at the lowest; points higher to 10 points lower than the final quotations of last week.
 Private reports told of much injury to cotton from the second cold wave of the fall, young bolls being injured over wide areas in the northern half of the belt. With the reports of crop dam age were accounts of much stronger demand for spots which apparently was being met by only limited offerings from farmers at high prices. In this market there was sufficient spot demand to put prices SS points up to 27.13 for middling.
 The census bureau mill figures. issued on the opening, showed a total consump- tion of s11,S23 bales of cotton and lint CTS which was interpreted both bullishiy and bearishly, bulls pointing out that 1t was over the consumption of September last year while bears called attention to the fact that 1t was under the con- sumption for August.
 It was an active market and the vol- ume of business was large.

"Silent Panic" Still in Stocks;
 Profit-Taking Sells Cotton Off
By c. F. AVERY

 yesterday. influneced by the frosts and freezing weather since Thursday, the last market day.
 It was soon evident that Thursdays s buyers were satisfied with $3 per bale profit and realizing sales scaled down the opening advance until the finals were around Thursdays close and in some in- stances a trifle under
 The opening bulge discounted the whole of the bad news and it seemed to be about all the ammunitoon the bulls had In stock.
 The consumption figures were construed bullish or bearish according to the way the readers wished to construe them My personal opinion is they were very bullish, showing they did such a big reduction in reserves as compared with last year. The old bugabear of the inability of the south to finance 27c cotton again came to the front. Some of the arguments listen we'll but with only about an 11,500. .000-bale crop, evclu- sive of linters, to finance, the mills will want it so fast there won't be any left to finance
 It will be another instance of "there ain't goin' to be no core"

Shepard & Gluck's Letter
(Rv CampbeIl's Wire.)


 A buying wave made it's appearance in the market today as soon as the trading of the week commenced.
 It was based on the killing frosts and freezing weather in the northern half of the belt over the holidays, which completed the damage started by the first cold wave which made it's appearance about 10 days ago. Prices bulged strongly, the most active months rising 63 to Fl points above the level of last weeks close.
 Tn the upturn general realizing on long cotton developed and the selling grew heavy enough to check the ad- vance and finally to pare down the gain until, in the afternoon, prices were at net rise of 20 to 10 points.
 We hear of strong spot demand at high prices in the interior which is not surprising in view of the small mill stocks and poor crop prospects. We expect a higher market.

Clark's Letter
(By Stewards Wire. )


 With few exceptions. news and de- velopments over the holidays were of an unfavorable nature. for cotton. Shipping stopped to Holland is proba- bly, a further item in reduced expor-. tation of the staple. The trading with the enemy" act went into full force on October 14. which also tends toward reduced expectations. Russian news is unfavorable.
 Washington says the slump in stocks is to be stopped by the government Bank examiners will rate good stand ard stocks higher than the present prices This is sure to streng gthen con- fidence and raise the purchasing power
 The unfavorable census consumption report, good weather and absence of encouraging political news favored a reaction.
 The market settled around 25.8Oc for December and is quiet at the moment
 Full prices are asked in the spot market, but the demand is only mod crate.
