NEW YORK COTTON.

New York Aug 9-The cotton mark
ct showed renewed flrmness during to-
days early trading owing to the con-
tinued dry weather in the southwest
the encouraging war news, and
strength in the stock market. FRS,
prices were "a to ID points higher with
the active months soon selling 10 to
90 points above last nights closing
figures on covering and a scattering de-
mand which was said to include a lit
tie buying for Southern mill account.
Around 2S.S6 for October and 1888 for
January, however, the market met
enough realizing to cause reactions OF
several points.
The dry western belt forecast stead
led the market on the early setback
and there was another squirt of COW
ering late in the morning which sent
October contracts up to 29.30, or 100
points net higher, while Later months
sold so to 80 points above last nights
closing figures with January touching
28.75. Huses with Liverpool connec-
tions were good buyers during the
morning but otherwise the demand
was attributed chiefly 10 local cover
ing and notwithstanding the big move
ment in prices, business was compa- a
lively quiet.
There was realizing enough to cause
reactions of 23 to 80 points during
the middle of the day. but there was
no pressure otherwise and the market
firmed up again toward 2 o'clock on
renewed covering on the continued IA
vorable war news and unfavorable crop
reports. January sold at 2S.76 or into
new high ground for the day and 81
points net higher.

lowed by a moderate further setback
and then by d rally which however,
was not well maintained.
Oats had the same action as corn. AZ
ter opening is to i-2c lower, with
September 1s9 7-Sc, the market re-

AUTOMOBILES
TO PLEAD GUILTY

Fifteen automobiles. who were ar
rested on a charge of having violated
the 1917 auto statute in one or more
ways, have announced their intention
of appearing before Judge c.. NJ. Jones,
of the court of record, on Monday
morning to enter plea of guilty. At
that time, it il said, will be obtained
a sort of an idea of the courts decision
in the matter, and probably others
of more than one hundred will follow
the example of the first fifteen. There
appears no disposition on the part of
many to fight the statute, as many of
them aver that it was matter over
looked, in operating cars without hav-
ing the two numbers displayed as the
law directs.

New York Health Commission

Rr sreclal corre.pondent.

TOTTENvILLE, Dec. S1:-An-
nouncement of DR.. Royal s. Cope
land, health commissioner of the city
of New York, that plans were devol-
oping rapidly for incinerating plants
for each of the five boroughs as the
only solution to the question OF the
disposal of garbage in a city as large
as New York, Is welcome news to the
people of Staten Island. With this
solution solved the residents Of Staten
Island will have no fear that the
garbage disposal plant at Lakes Is
land in the Freshkill creek will be re-
opened again.
Staten Island has had two inciner-
ators, one at Clifton and the other
at West New Brighton for the past
several years where the garbage for
hat section of the island has been
disposed of, while this end OF the is
land has had to place it's garbage in
various places used as dumps. 1t Is
believed that 1t is the city's Idea TO
erect a large plant in each borough.
The garbage from Manhattan, Brook
lyn and the Bronx that was brought
down to the big plant of h Metro
politan B~y-Products Company at
Lakes Island before II was closed
some time ago. is now being taken to
Barren Island and out TO sea.
With the many complaints filed by
the people of Brooklyn against the
garbage being taken to Barren Island
again has brought the plan of incin-
Grafton for each borough of the city.
DIR. Copeland has asserted that the
plant oil Barren Island, the same as
the one al Lakes Island. could not be
operated without creating a nuisance
but could not be condemned until 1t
had proved itself as such.

DEADLOCK STILL
ON SENATE HEAD
Republican State Senators Will
Meet Again Next Satur-
day Morning
By sneciar Correspondemt.

TRENTON, Dec. 91:-The Repub-
lican state senators will meet here
again mex Saturday at IL o'clock for
the eventh time on the question of
whom they want for president OF the
mex upper house OF the legislature.
tt decision was reached at yester-
d meeting, which was devoted
views between the Wells and Mackay
factions as TO the possibility of an
adjustment or settling of the dead
lock which still exists.
After one vote was taken. which
showed the deadlock to be the same
as the week before. with seven for
Wells and the same number for
Mackay, the senators realized that TO
continue balloting would be futile.
and they. therefore. lapsed into a
more or less free-for-all discussion,
out of which apparently came no
tangible suggestion or proposition for
q compromise out of their situation.
Outside of the names of Ffthian. of
Cumberland: Case, of Somerset, and
Runyon, of Union, no new men have
been mentioned as compromises.
the Baird lieutenant, was here yes
terday again watching the situation,
and he characterized the talk of
Wells revolving against Reed for state
treasurer as a bluff" He doubted
IL the Wells supporters would bolt
the caucus on the election of the
state treasurer.
That Haines will positively stand
fast for Mackay Is the latest news
here. He is the Camden senator.
Patterson also scattered the idea that
the Democrats might unite with the
Wells faction to elect the latter pres
ident of the state senate.
