NEW ORLEANS COTTON.

New Orleans, La, Oct. 18-A mod erately higher level of vaues was caused in cotton today by buying re- sulting mainly from the favorable impression created by foreign dispat- ches.
 The wet weathtr over the belt and fear that cold wave would follow the rains also stimulated the demand
 Shorts were inclined to cover over the week end and there was an un- dercurrant of buying for long account which floor gossip set down as con- ing from stong traders who were accomplishing lines in view of the prospect of peace.
 Opening at the advance the mar ket showed net gain throughout the session closing at net rise of 27 to 42 points.
 The rumor that German submarines had been recalled to their bases caus- ed much comment in spot circles but the spot department was quiet. Bear ish predictions were that the ginning report, due a week from today and carrying the crop down to October l7 would show an unusually large out put to that date.
 Cotton closed steady at a net ad vance of C7 to 32 nOintS

THRICE GREAT CITES
 HAVE BEEN DELIVERED
 FROM BOOBIES POWER

Paris, Oct. 1S.-Lille, Douai, Os- tend, three great cities have been delivered from the enemy. This is the most glorious day for the allies since the battle of the Marne, and it fittingly terminates a wonderful battle of three months which was opened by General Mangins victori- ous counter offensive on July IS.
 Many cities have been liberated and hundreds of square miles of ter ritory re-taken. The results have been splendid. But the victory in Belgium is not all. The British south of Le Cateau have broken in to the German positions and now threaten the Funding line. The whole German defense system eastward to the Mouse is in peril.
 As the first result of the forcing of the Germans back to the Ghent- Tournai-Valencinnes line during yes terday's fighting, has been to sap the enemy's defenses before they have been able to reach them further south. Without eXaggeration it may be said that the prospects of the future are even more important than the actual results attained, splendid though they may be.
 The road to Brussels is open. Ac- corGing to latest advices the French and Belgian armies are advancing rapidly towards Bruges and Ghent. The capture of Ostend makes it pos s;hle to land endorsements and throw powerful forces against the extreme right of the German army.
 General von Arnim's army is no longer strong enough to 3ustan op- orations on the extended front from the French to the Dutch frontier. It is therefore reasonable to expect that it's march across Belgium will be rapid and that King Albert will re-enter his capital earlier than was hoped.
 Al the very moment the Flanders battle was won another offensive was started in the direction of Hir- son.
 The way back to Germany lies through two bottle necks separated by the Ardennes-the one between Iiege and Dinant and the other be- tween Montmedy and Verdun. The latter is already partly blocked
 While it may be admitted that the Germans are fighting well and con- ducting their retreat with great skill sober military opinion here is that the great German military machine is in danger of collapse at no very distant date.

HERE'S QUICK CHANCE ID KILL A b0CHE FOR
 ELSE TO GET KILLED

Washington, Oct. 1S.-General Pershing has sent an urgent call for air service observers which the aero nautical bureau of the army is mak- ing prompt efforts to fill from civil life as well as from the army.
 A strong response from the daring spirit of the country is hoped for There is no limit in the number to be accepted for training and quail fled men are certain to get quick act ion.
 In announcing the needs of the cx- peditionary forces today, Major Gen eral Kenly, chief of the bureau. said there were no right age limits or oth- CT limitations.
 It is up to the man himself.
 If he thinks he can stand the hard, dangerous servict and can pass the rigorous physical and other tests, he will be given a twelve weeks training course, commissioned and sent over.
 "This is cuick chance to kill a Hun or get killed, General Kenly said.
 "We will guarantee to get men who qualify to France without delay"

CzECH0.SL0VAkS HAVE
 NO FAITH IN GERMAN {
By ALTMAN

London, Oct. IS. British Wireless Sci vice. )-The Czech-Slovak nation 1al council and the union of Zzech deputies at their meeting in Prague September 20, adopted a resolution declaring that the c echs have no faith in the promises of the Vienna government The resolution, which wa3 suppressed by the Austrian cen sor has just reached London It says in part:
 "We do not believe today in promi- ses given and not kept. The most vehement promises cannot blind l'5 and turn us away from our aim. The Vienna government is unable to give Us anything we ask for.
 "The Czech nation will follow it's anti-German policy whatever may happen, being sure that it's just cause will finally triumph especially today. when it has lhecome part of the great ideals of the entente, whose victory will be the only good produced by, this terrible war"

CHICAGO GRAIN.

a Chicago, Oct. 18.-Reports that the German U-boats had been called in gave a stimulas to a bullish senti- ment in corn today.
 Largely as a result prices at the finish, altho unsettled, were 1 to 1 7-8c net higher with November 121 IA and December 116 5-8 to 116 3-4.
 Oats gained IA to 5-8c net.
 Provisions closed 25 to soc down.
 Belief that exportation of grain would be much facilitattd by recall of the U-boats put the corn bears at disadvantage from the outset.
 Notwithstanding that the reports as to the recall were by no means full ly accepted as true, a majority Of trad CTS credited the gossip sufficiently to try to anticipate in a measure the implied liklihood of greatly increased freedom for commercial shipping and therefort of a better demand for grain.
 Oats averaged higher with corn.
 The buying was scattered.
 Weakness of provisions was due mostly to hog market declines

MARkE Reports of Cotton, Grain and
 Provisions
NEW YORK COTTON.
z.

New York, Oct. 1S.-Thc bullish view of peace prospects was reflected by further wall street buying of cot ton today but the main factor on the advance was considered the demand from trade sources.
 The general list closed steady at d net advance of 30 to 40 points.
 The market opened steady at an ad- vance in response to higher Liverpool cables.
 There was some bullish comment on the rains indicated for the eastern and central belts, but generally speak ing there has been very littlt criti- cism of weather conditions so far this autumn and the claim was heard again today that cotton was still making.
 The trade, however, was impressed by the absence of southern selling and a number of reports were received here that southern holders were ex- pected to receive at least forty cents for thir cotton if peace should be con- cluded.
 Spinners were again reported to be buying more frtely and fixing price possibly in recognition of the firm CT feeling in the southern spot mar. ket today.
 General business was restricted by uncertainty regarding the course of Germany, and conflicting rumors con- tinue to circulate in that respect.

CONFLICTING RUMORS
 CAUSED NERVOUSNESS
 COTTON DURING WEEK

New York, Oct. 1S.-Conflicting ru- mors and views of peace prospects have been accompanied by nervous and irregular fluctuations in the cot ton market during the past week.
 After selling up sharply on Mon day the market eased off under liqui- dation and scattered selling inspired by disappointing domestic consumpt ion figures and continued light ex- ports, but toward the end of the week firmed up again on covering and trade buying. On the whole, the more optimistic view of peace as a market factor has been evidenced.
 Reports from the south say that holders of spot cotton, in somt cases, at least, feel that if peace should be concluded they would be able to get no less than forty cents pound. The bullish idea of peace prospects also seems to have prevailed in cer- tain Wall street circles.
 General bushes, however, has been restricted by uncertainty as to just what Germanys next move may be- The census report published Tues day showed domestic mill consumpt- ion for September of only 490, ,799 i bales against 522 .3s9 last year and local bears anticipate that tht show ing for October will be even less fav- orable owing to the influenza
 There have been rains in some sections of the south which were not considered altogether desirable, but no killing frost has yet occurred and , the crop was supposed to be making | favorable progress.
 According to reports from the southwest, there are now good pros , poets for top crop if frost should hold off until the middle of November
