BELGIAN COAST LINE.
A Few Miles That Count for Much I'm
Scales of Victory,

Perhaps in no other war in modern
history have a few miles counted for as
much in the scales of victory as in the
present contest in West Flanders" "
says a bulletin issued by the bureau OF
geographic information of the National
Geographic Society. THE distance
which separates the allied forces from
full control of the coast of Belgium is
only thirty miles. Possession of these
thirty miles of coast line would not
only wipe out tie German submarine
bases in Belgium, but ii would also
give the allies a new front upon which
to attack in an effort to drive the
enemy out of Belgium and northern
France. Possession of this coast, there
fore. would be a double victory to the
allies, sorely hampering the enemy's
submarine operations and at the same
time affording an opportunity to roll
up his right flank on land.
Nowhere else may be found a more
striking contrast between peace and
war than that afforded by the Belgium
coast in 1913 and in 1917. Practically
the entire coast line in normal times is
given up to the pleasures of seaside
cities and rest resorts. La Panne,
Coxyde.plage, COST -Dunkerke, Nieu-
port -Bains Westende, Middlekerke, Le-
Cog sur Mer, Wenduyne sur Mer.
Blankenberghe, Heyst sur Mer. and
Knocke-sur-Mer, are all places which
remind one of the seaside cities of New
Jersey. OF course, Ostend, Nieuport-
Bains and Blankenberghe are the most
pretentious.
In these Atlantic cities. Cape Mays.
and Ashbury Parks OF Belgium, laugh
ter and happiness relgned with a care
free abandon that only European re-
sorts could know, while today war on
land, under sea, and in the air, harries
the souls of the few brave people who
still remain there.
Between La Panne and Oost-Duin-
kerke is the Hooge-Blikker, 105 feet
high, the highest point of the Belgian
dunes, and also the widest point. Just
outside of NieuportBa in the vii
lage of Lombartzyde. there is a cele-
brated figure of the Madonna, held in
high veneration by Flemish fishermen
from time immemorial and to which
the Flemings are today addressing
their appeal that their land shall be
liberated from the iron heel of the in
vader.
"Ostend is famous not only as sea.
side resort but for its great fishing
trade in normal times and for its
oyster parks. Oysters in large numbers
are brought here and kept in clarified
sea water The visitor may order his
plate of shell fish right out OF the
water.
Should the allies get control of the
coast of Belgium so far inland as
Bruges, they would come into posses
sion of a splendid system of canals ex
tending from France to Furnes, and
thence by way of Nieuport, to Ostend
and Bruges. There is also a canal from
Bruges to the coasr near Blanken
berghe, another to Ghent, and a third
to the waterway connecting Heyst with

New Orleans Cotton

New Orleans. October IA rise of 1c a pound or s a bale was the response in the cotton market here today to the cold wave sweeping over the south. The demand was strong on the opening and continued heavy throughout the day. with only short intervals in which re- cent buyers liquidated to get their pro- fits Setbacks were not well maintained and the highest prices, gain of 100 to 103 points, were reached late in the session. The close was s7 to 96 points up. SposS were marked up S7 points to 26.50c for middling. new high record. October went to 2617c.
 In the early trading the market was up about 1zc pound on the low tenn peratures shown by the weather map. Later the demand was strengthened by the forecast of frosts and freezing wealth CT in the northern sections of the belt. with prospects that light frosts would extend down well into the southern half.
 It was a weather market from start to finish and no attention was paid to other features. Shorts were large buyers of covers. Heavy buying for long account was stimulated by the belief that the cold wave would be one of the most se- we're on record for this time of the year, and that it would cut down the yield of cotton materially.

GRAIN GOSSIP

Chicago. October S.-Overestimates of the shortage in the 1917 yield of corn as compared with the total suggested by the government crop report of a month ago led today to a material advance in the corn market. Prices closed firm, Ac to 11kc net higher at 1.19A to s1.2O Decem- Der. and s1157s to s1.16 May. Oats gained Hc to ss@Ac. In provisions the outcome ranged from 21ac to Dc decline to rise of $1.
 Government crop figures issued after the close today proved surprise to the corn trade, as the new official calcu- lation indicated that nearly 36,Ooo,0OO bushels more corn had been produced than private experts had looked for. Rusjness today consisted mainly of even ing I'D by shorts who were mistakably exnecting that Washington would an- nounca a falling off about 73,o0O,o0o bush els from last months appra.sement. Widespread killing frosts last night tended to increase buying. Opinion seemed to prevail that the maximum price conference here this week would make little if any change. Something or revival of seaboard demand strength ened oats. Guesses on the federal crop estimate were generally too high. Pro- visions rallid when corn developed strength. At first, the provisions mar ket had shown tendency to sag, on ac- count of declines in the value of hogs

FROST PREDICTION
 LEADS ID ADVANCE
 IN COTTON MARKET

New York, October S.-Frost predictions creating fear of a further sharp reduc- ton in crop estimates led to excited buy ing and big advance in the cotton mar ket today. January deliveries sold up to 26. 45c. or 112 points above Saturdays clos ing price. and no less than 7c per pound or ss5 per bale above the low level of last month. That delivery closed at 2361c, with the general list closing steady at a net advance of 93 to 98 points.
 The market opened firm at an advance of 31 to fl points on covering and fresh buying inspired by the appearance of the weather map. There had been nerv- ousness over frost indications on Satur- day but nose traders had looked for warmer weather map this morning and the passing of the coip snap without any serious damage. The frost actually reported at several points in the eastern belt were not accompanied by reports of harm to the plant. but the map sug- gested still colder weather. and the fore casts, when published. were for freezing in northern parts of Oklahoma and Arkansas with frost extending into Tex as and for lower temperatures with list to heavy frosts in northern parts of the eastern belt.
 This prospect stimulated the buying movement with October contracts selling up to N.2oc, making a new high Secord for the lift of the contract. while De- cember touched 2661c and March 26.52c, or 10s to 113 points above Saturdays clos ing figures. The market met considera- ble realizing and some southern selling at this level. resulting in reactions of 25 or 30 points, but otherwise there was very little pressure. pending the out come of frost predictions. and part If the losses were recovered. Last prices were within 10 or 12 points of the best on the more active positions. Aside from the frost news. the buying was stimu- lated by reports of lower marine war risks and private crop reports indicating deterioration east of the river partly ow- ing to insect damage.
