The friends of Tracy T. Pedrick.
whose name was. published among
those who had not taken their ques-
tionnaires out Of the mails, inform the
Star that young man is in the navy.
The principal reason we printed the
list was to inform such young men as
Mr.. Pedrick, or their relatives and
friends, that they were being consid-
cred as delinquent by their local
board. They should inform not only
the Star, but Secretary Trammell that
such men are in the service.

for long account, but the market ap- peared disposed to work higher on it's own strength, the strength furnished by it's technical condition brought about by the long decline and the successes on the short side As usual, bullish traders were not aggressive and the hard spots attracted selling; support was not sus- tained and advances were made in a ner- vous way.
 Around the first cali there was a drop of to 6 points, after which the market moved up to met advance of 31 to 35 points only to recede again to the lowest levels. In the afternoon fluctuations were narrower, the market standing at a net rise of anywhere from 10 to 20 points the greater part of the time. Buying was plainly restricted by expectations of a beayish ginning report from the census bureiu the first thing tomorrow morn ing. This report is expected to show ar output of about 100000 bales to De- tober IT, against 5573,06S bales to the same date last year Most people seem to forget that two years ago the total was 7.303,1S3.
 President Wilson's prompt and states manlike reply to Germany was commend ed in all quarters and 1t served to clear the political situation to a remarkable extent, but 1t did not develop into a market feature. As we read the situa- ton abroad, 1t is surrender or fight for Germany and 1t hardly looks as if Eu- ropean news would be of great market importance while the momentous decision is pending.
 The close was steady at net advance of 12 to IS points.-Shepard $ Gluck.

COLUMBUS, MISS.

Columbus. Miss, October 24.-(Special) Local officers have for several days past been in hot pursuit of Joseph Pace, a white man, who about two months ago is alleged to have deserted from Camp Beauregard and who is hiding out in the northern section of the county. He has eluded their vigilance, however, and is still at large, though it Is believed that he has been wounded, as Constable J, T. Robertson, one of his pursuers, got close enough to the fugitive to take crack at him with a shotgun, and saw him clap his hand to his ear in a manner that indicated that one of the shots had found Judgment in his aural appendage.
 A recrudescent outbreak of Spanish in fluenza, which last week was thought 10 be on the wane in Columbus, has caused the gravest alarm, and local health of fcials, aided by-sRed Cross workers and other altruists, are doing every thing in their power to prevent the further spread of the ma1ady.

New York Futures
New Orleans Cotton

New Orleans, October M--A reaction- ary tendency was maintained in cotton today, although the market did not dis play any pronounced strength. The short interest was disposed to cover but bull ish traders were cautious and buying orders were plainly restricted by bear ish expectations regarding the census bureau report on ginning, due the first thing tomorrow morning. At the highest of the day prices were 3l to SJ points over yesterdays close; last prices were F to IS over
 Around the opening call the most ac- tive months were to points down. but the demand increased immediately and a rapid rise carried prices to the highest of the session. After that fluc- tuetions were comparatively narrow dur ing the greater part of the time, al- though enough selling developed at the middle of the morning to put prices mo- mentarily to $ points under yesterdays finals.
 In the afternoon there were small gains Spot prices were lowered by lUi points, but this was considered favor able rather than otherwise because 1t had the effect of putting spots and fu- lures more in line with each other.
 President Wilson's reply to Germany caused much comment and some of the early buying appeared to be based on it., but after that 1t was hardly market feature.

BARGE AND BOAT CONTRACT ANNULLED Shipping Board Cancels Or der for Craft for Use in
 New England

Washington, October 24.--Contracts for 50 wooden barges and 5o composite tugs, designed for use in the New England coal trade, have been cancelled by the shipping board. In making this an- nouncement today Chairman Hurley said the vessels would not be needed because it has been found possible to use some of the S500-ton wooden ships for this service. The contracts called for an eN- penditure of $25, ,250, 900, but work had not been started on any of the vessels.
 MT. Hurley also announced that about 100 wooden ships now building will be so designed that they can be used in the oil trade between Mexico and the United States, releasing the large steel tankers now in that service for overseas trade to maintain supplies of fuel oil for the allied navies and armies.
