ALL DRAFT APPEALS
 NOW THROWN OUT
Every Appellant Will Be Classi- fled Under New Rules-Those Physically Disqualified Must Be Examined Again.

Washington, Nov. 18.-Men who have been drafted and have appeals from the decision of the local board pending will have their cases auto matically thrown off the boards by a new ruling of Provost Marshal Gen eral Crowder in connection with the complete revision of the draft regula- tions.
 Maj. Easby-Smith, legal expert of Gen. Crowder's staff, who with Col. Hugh Johnson, did most of the work in revising and reorganizing the draft system today explained that all such appeals will automatically cease to exist, as the man will be returned to his original status, that is, to the posi- tion he was in before being called be- fore the draft board.
 He will be sent a questionaire. If his replies to the queries in that book let indicate he should be granted the deferred classifcation-for which his present appeal will be made-he will be so classified by the board. Should the board decide, however, that he be- longs to class 1, subject to immediate call he will be so notified and will have the right of appealing to the dis trict board for such deferred classif- cation.
 The text of the new rule. whereby the secretary of war is authorized to draft into immediate service for spe- cial duty any man believed from the record to be qualified for such duty no matter what his classification or his order number in the draft, is couched in the widest terms.

SUNDAY BASEBALL
 DRAWING NEAR
(By H. C. Hamilton, United Press
 Staff Correspondent)

New York, Nov. 19.-Sunday base ball is certain to have a chance when the New York legislature gets busy on it's next session. And, whether Charles H. Ebbets' undying energy gets the decision or not, it may be stated with positive tinality, that sen timent in favor of the Sabbath-day games is so strong it cannot long be held off in the east.
 Kicking the blue out of the anti quated blue laws of New York state would be a boon to Ebbets more than to any other club owner in either of the big leagues, for it would be giving him the opportunity to make some money without whiting the edges off all the nickels he corrals. It's pretty tough picking most of the time in Brooklyn, mainly because the people in Brooklyn are on Manhattan Island when ball games are being played. They crowd his park on Saturdays.
 If Ebbets could get in few punch es on a Sunday schedule his smile would grow wider and wider. He could pack his park every Sunday.
 New York doesn't need the Sunday pastime to line the treasury with cop pers. The Polo Grounds suffer and groan under huge crowds several times every season. Imagine, how ever, what might happen if a nick could be put in the ancient puritanical laws and allow the Polo Grounds to swing open their gates every Sunday afternoon. Harry Hempstead's cup and bank account-would be running over in few years. And the same could be said for Col Jacob Ruppert and Capt T. L. Huston.
 In the west, Sunday baseball prac- tically keeps the sport going in most of the cities. Cincinnati, for instance, probably would show a loss every year if it were not possible for the fans laying off on the Sabbath to go to baseball game. The same thing holds good for Cleveland and St. Louis.
 It would be hard to arrange fit ting scedule for just two clubs in the National League in the east on Sun day, and one in the American League but the example set by New York State would induce neighboring com monwealths to fall in line shortly thereafter.

COTTON MARKET
SCORES ADVANCE
Strength of October Fea-
tured at New Orleans.
Cables Steady

New York, January 4-Somewhat irree-
ular early fluctuations were followed by
an advance in the cotton market here
today with July contracts selling up to
1880 and closing at 1850 New crops
were relatively firm with the general list
closing very steady at a. net advance of
6 to 20 points.
The market opened steady at an ad-
vance of to points in response to rela-
lively steady cables. This bulge seemed
to meet some scattered realizing from To-
! cal and New Orleans sources under which
prices eased off right after the call.
March sold down to 1745c and July 17.76c,
or about to points under last nights
closing figures, but there was no impor-
tant pressure and the tone soon became
steadier.
Foreign trade interests were credited
with buying October, which showed the
maximum advance and is now ruling less
than 125 points under July, compared with
a recent difference of over 200 points Pri-
waite wires received here from Galveston
reported activity on the part of Japanese
buyers, while there were reports from
New Orleans that ocean freight room
was being engaged for shipment to Havre
There were also renewed rumors of pur-
chases in the south by German interests
for shipment after the war and there
may have been some little buying here
to cover hedges against sales of spots in
the interior. General business remained
livery quiet, however, evidently being re-
stricted by confusion as to political con-
ditionS and the uncertainties of ocean
freight. Private cables said that covering
against cotton lost at sea had been prac-
tically completed. Early rumors of q
second warning against purchases OF
short term foreign treasury bills were de-
MED.

New Orleans Cotton

New Orleans, January 4.-The strength
of October cotton was the feature of
rather quiet market here today. October
was in good demand from the opening to
the close, with final prices at the highest
at a net gain of % points for the day, as
against a net rise of to 10 points on
the other active months Covering OF
shorts. the rather sensational narrowing
of differences between the old and new
crops. and the belief that foreign inter-
ests owning cotton in this country will
sell their spots and buy October on any
further signs of delayed peace, were
the main reasons for the buying of the
new crop position.
Early in the session the tone was I'M
settled but the market stood l to points
up in response to a better Liverpool than
due. Before the trading had gone very
far, it was rumored that private crop
reporting bureau was out with fore,
cast of II, 100, 600 bales ginned to the end
of December, which were considerably
larger than bullish traders figures had
expected. This rumor depressed the mar
ket for awhile, sending the trading
months to 10 points under the closing
levels of yesterday. Later the tone stead
led on reports Of an improved spot de-
mand both in the central and eastern
sections of the belt, and toward the
close the market was at its highest, net
gain of to % points.

GRAIN AND PRODUCE

Chicago, January 4.-Export business on
a huge scale failed today to offset alto
gether acute weakness that for brief
time seized the market owing to reports
that President Wilson would make fresh
effort to end hostilities in Europe. After
an extreme descent of 61sc, prices closed
nervous at net losses of 1s4q2a4c, with
May at s1.S4a1. S414, and July at 1890
1.5o Corn finished 17s@21zc down and oats
off A91Ac. In provisions the outcome
ranged from setback Of 1Oc to 271sc adv
vance.
Corn weakened chiefly in consequence
of enlarged country acceptances of bids
from Chicago. The market, however, was
steadied later by advices that the entente
allies had purchased 100000 bushels IN
the last "a hours.
Oats duplicated the action of corn. 1t
was said that sales to the seaboard yes
terday and today amounted to 5,0OO,O0e
bushels.
Advanced quotations on hogs made pro-
visions average higher. The best demand
came from shorts.

New York, January 4-Rumors and
reports dealing with the peace situation
were credited with causing a reversal in
the stock market today which carried
prices down to points. Board room
gossip revived reports of fresh compile
cations between the United States and
Germany Which adversely affected the
so-called peace stocks, while dispatches
from Washington forecasting a new
move by this government in the direction
of peace appeared to have similar af-
feet upon the war issues. These and
other developments created confusing
cross currents in the movement of prices,
although it was apparent that profess
SIGNAL traders were in control
Intermittent rallies of 1 to points
were more than balanced by increased
heaviness in United States steel and al
lied industrials, as well as other poten-
tial issues, including coppers, the latter
being under esrecial pressure in conse-
quence IN further price concessions for
refined metal Mexicans were almost the
sole exception to the downward trend,
making substantial recoveries from mid

Rails were today more than ordinarily
responsive to the bearish attitude of the
trading element, standard issues losing

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'S Letter

An unsteady market in Liverpool
which closed at a decline of points, is
unaccounted for by any information from
this side where the market has advanced
under a demand for next October deliv-
cry, based on the vague rumor that AUS
tria was in some way asking for peace.
These rumors could not be traced, but IN
a market where, as we have pointed out,
there is no disposition to anticipate
decline, their effect was to absorb the
quiet selling of long cotton that has been
in progress for several days.
Liverpool is expected to recover the de-
cline today.
