POPE BENEDICT FAVORS
GENUINE POLISH NATION
Not the German Kingdom Scheme, Says
Semiofficial Vatican
Organ

ROME, Sept. lI.-Pope Benedict is COM
mitted to the plan Of a genuine Polish ma
ton, and not the Polish kingdom scheme
put into effect by the Teutons, the semi
official Vatican organ, the Corriere dItalia,
indicated today.
Commenting on the Polish princlpalty
established by recent Austro-German mani
festo, the newspaper said it overlooked
German and Austrian Poland. The editor
ial insisted that any recognition of Rus
sian Poles must locally imply that the same
rights are due others. Such measures as
the present Polish plan. 1t was asserted,
are ineffective because Of their orc-sded-
ness.

we" tofNh. sept.
There was quite some selling at tho open
ing of tho cotton market, duo to the fact
that the heavy rains, which had been looked
for in the eastern belt as a result of some
tropical storm. did not materialize; but
tho market was held in check by an un-
usually largo demand by one prominent
operator and good buying for the account
or Liverpool. Room traders, commission
houses and Wall street sold. but tho offer
ings for tho most part we're several points
over the quotations ruling on transactions.
January started 1 point lower and other
months were 2 to 8 points higher. with the
tone steady. Scattered rains were reported
in the belt. with 1.ss inches at Galveston
and Mobile. Temperatures were about
normal
The favorable cotton-belt forecast was
followed by increased offerings toward the
middle OF tho morning and prices broke
sharply. Tho early advance had carried
October up to 20.43 and January to 20.21,
or about 12 to II points net higher. Re.
ports of deterioration had promoted cover
ings, but otherwise there seemed to be
little demand and tho bearish average OF
local sentiment was reflected in the re
newal of selling as soon rs the market
showed n tendency TO ease. october broke
TO zoos and January TO 1888. making n
net loss OF 20 20 25 points.
