NEW YORK COTTON

New York, Oct. 30.-Unfavorable
weather news served to promote COW
ering after yesterdays sharp break In
the cotton market and the opening
today was IL to Is points higher. The
outlook was that rains In the East
ern belt would be followed by another
cold wave and killing frost was re-
ported at Del Rio, Abilene and Pales-
tine, Texas. December sold up &c
1886 and January to 1921 after the
call making a net advance of about
20 to 26 points. The advance was
checked at this level by renewed
liquidation, local and Wall street sell
ing which may have been partly due
to the opening weakness of the stock
market and later fluctuations were
irregular.
The early irregularity was fol-
lowed by a very sharp advance late
in the morning. Liverpool, New Or
leans, and domestic trade interests
had been buyers early, which sug-
gested that prices here were relative
~ low and covering became very
active after the publication CT the
detailed weather reports, showing
extraordinary low temperatures in
Oklahoma and Texas. By midday
December had rallied to 27.41 and
January to 1859, or 50 to 72 points
above last nights closing figures.

MONTREAL CHANGE CLOSES

Montreal, Oct. 30.-As a measure
to prevent brokers from being forced
into liquidation on account of the re-
cent weak markets, the Montreal
stock exchange decided this morning
to revert to the minimum price sys-
tenn which was in use for a time
when the exchange. re-opened after
closing on account of the war with
Germany.
The failure of the Exchange to
open the usual hour today gave rise
to reports that brokers with heavy
holdings were confronted with ruin.
1t was officially stated, however. that
none of these brokers are actually
on the brink of failure. The ex.
change opened at IL o'clock, one hour
later than usual.
The minimum prices adopted are
those prevailing at the close of the
market yesterday.

THE MARKETS
NEW ORLEANS COTTON

New Orleans, Oct. 30.-A rise OF
% to 80 points resulted in the first
half hour of trading in cotton here
today. The extremely cold weather
over the belt stimulated the demand,
a good part of which comes from
recent short sellers who were after
their profits.
Covering of the short interest in
creased as the morning grew older
but offerings were very small IN
volume. A crop estimate of 10,840,-
900 bales, not including linters, en-
couraged fresh long buying. Toward
the middle of the day prices were
10 to 70 points up net.
Spot cotton steady and unchanged.
Sales on spot s58 bales; to arrive
ATS bales. Middling 27.75.
The market preserved it's steady
tone in the afternoon, but the de,
mand was along smaller lines and
prices fell off. At 1 o'clock, active
months were 90 to 70 points up net.
Cotton closed very steady at an
advance of 81 to 90 points.

MAJ IUERITE CLARK IN "BAB'S

Marguerite Clark hurried her "Sub-
Deb scenes in "Bab's Diary" which
is the first of several Mary Roberts
Rinehart stories Miss Clark will make
for Paramount photoplays and which
will be shown today at the Isis the
alter, so as to arrive at one bit of bust
ness which she particularly fancied
during the heat wave which was
sweeping the country at that time.
In hiding from her pursuers, Bah,
fully clothed, took refuge in bath
tub full of very cold water. J. Searle
Dawley, director for Marguerite
Clark, remarked that the enthusiasm
with which the stair performed this
stunt" was truly remarkable, as. in
doing it, she ruined one of the most
attractive gowns of her expensive
wardrobe. The star, however, de-
clared it was worth it.

NEGRO PURSE FINDER
FREED BY COURT
POrter's Friends Pay $500 Lost,

NEW YORK, May 1s--Innuential
friends rallied to the rescue Of Edwin
Craig. a negro Pullman porter. yes
terday, and in consequence Judge
Mott, in general sessions, permitted
him to 20 on a suspended sentence
following his conviction for larceny.
The amount involved was $500, and
S. Francis Hyde, vice president of the
Central Trust Company, after mailing
a check to cover this amount, wrote
Judge Mott a personal letter asking
for cIemency for the negro, who had
once been in his employ as porter on
his private car. Others who inter
ested themselves in craig's behalf
were Holbrook Blinn and William
Faversham.
On March IL last Craig picked up a
purse in Grand Central Terminal con
taininE $500. 1t had been dropped
by Miss Sophie d. Amour, a milliner,
in her haste to board q train for Low

After pleading guilty to the charge

court that he had taken the purse to
his home and showed II to his wife.
She became so excited at the sight of
SO large a sum, he said. that she drop

OF the camp. and press forward coolly.
II the influence radiating from this
officer has not yet had its effect on
the hundreds of student officers
we'll, they will come to know Captain
Haight better as the weeks lengthen
into months.
Over six feet in height. a square
jaw serving to strengthen the ex'
preston of determination, Captain
Haight presents a most striking ap-
pearance. His clean-shaven face, mo-
bile and smiling. puts at rest the
fears OF callers who may have en-
tertained the opinion that the camp
adtutant is hard to approach and
not inclined to listan to the thousand
and one queries that come to him
every day.
II The Business Buffer.
It is Captain Haight who keeps
the hundreds of callers at Fort Myer
= from rushing over each other In
frenzied efforts to see Lieutenant
Colonel Fenton, camp commander, on
matters of small concern. Each
caller Is received and questioned and
his business disclosed before he could
possibly explain 1t himself. The
captain meets an anxious Congress
man. learns his business and sends
him away happy.
He shows the same consideration to
the youthful college man, ambitious
to do his ''bit" by getting into the
reserve officers camp. Every appli
cant goes away from adjutant head
quarters impressed with the idea
that this camp is strictly democratic

regulation service uniform. Today
he shone resplendent in a uniform OF
blue, his shoulder straps glistening
brightly.
Captain Haight is an honor grad.
uate OF the infantry and cavalry
school OF the class OF 1908. He was
graduated from Columbia University
in 1898 with the degree of bachelor
OF science. He was born in New
York city May IL, 1877, and was COM
missioned in the army as a resident
OF that city.
Transferred To CavnIry.
Shortly after leaving university.
Captain Haight was given a commits
sion as second lieutenant in the
Fourth United States Artillery. About
a year later-oF. to be exact, on
March 20. 1S99-he was transferred
to the Fourth Cavalry, and was made
first lieutenant on February 2, 1901.
Because OF meritorious work in
cavalry drill and instruction, he was
made captain on April 8, 1905. Since
that time he has been entrusted with
important assignments in this branch
OF the service, his ability for organ
king and training recruits leading
to his selection for the office OF ad-
jutant OF the reservists camp.
Strictly business" might be term
ed the camp adJutant's motto.
For the first weeks OF training at
Fort Myer Captain Haight will prob
ably remain inside, experimenting
the vast volume OF clerical work that
passes through headquarters. Candi-
dates for commissions who have had
difficulty in adjusting their papers
have besieged him since the camp
opened. Questions Of transfer TO Fort
Myer from other training camps are
referred to him for decision
May Take Field Later.
But after the rush OF preparation
Is ended, It is quite likely that the
adjutant will take the field and show
the reservists the fine points Of mill
tary tactics. He will personally super
intend many OF the drills and other
exercises Of the men,. Captain Haight
will also make regular Inspections OF
the cantonments to see to Il that
things are as they should be in q
model officers reserve camp.
Captain Haight is married and has
two children, a boy of twelve and a
girl OF ten. He likes to watch foot
ball and baseball games and is fond
Of books. A well stocked library in
his home attests his devotion to good
literature. especially the kind that
deals with fighting men and military
matters.
