Headquarters in this city have been es-

Cotton

Slight earl declines were followed by
rallies in the cotton market yester-
day with October contracts selling up
to 249S and closing at 24.97. The
general list closed very steady at a
net advance of 10 to 20 points. The
early selling appeared to be inspired
by bearish private condition reports
and talk of rain in Texas. Weather
advices received during the day, how
ever, showed no precipitation what
ever in the drouthy sections. while
there were reports of an improved
export demand for early new crop ship
ment, and buyers found encouragement
in the favorable war news. Closing
prices were at practically the best
point of the day.
The market opened barely steady at
an advance of points on July, but
generally unchanged to % points lower,
with September showing the maximum
loss, while active new crop months
were about ! to 7 points under Mon
days final figures. These deliveries
after the call, but when these early
offerings had been absorbed there ap-
peared to be very few contracts offer
ing and prices advanced on COM
paratively small volume of business.
Reports that considerable new crop
cotton was offering in the Houston
market for July-August shipment at
an easier basis, caused slight reactions
during the middle of the afternoon, but
the selling seemed to be entirely local,
followed by covering at the close. July
was relatively firm, selling up to 1925
or 32 points net higher.
The private crop report responsible
Tor some of the early selling made
the condition s3.5, compared with "a a
two weeks ago, and indicated a crop
of 15,156,0O0 bales. There were re-
ports around the ring that the British
government had purchased 10000 bales
Tor strict middling cotton forOctober-
November shipment, at 500 points on
October; also 1000 bales of high
density cotton for July shipment at
of573 points on July. The same buyers
were said to be inquiring for cotton
"len staple of under 7sths inch, pre-
>umably to be used in the manufacture
Of munitions. Local spot brokers re-
port continued slow demand from
SS.iS opiHheis, Dotn IN tne matter
OF old and new crop shipments, about
the only business at present being in
speclalties for New England account.
Southern spot markets, as officially re-
ported, were all unchanged except New
Orleans, which was 20 points lower, and
Baltimore, which was nominally so
points higher. A moderate business
was reported in several markets at
prices ranging from about 29.75 to
1925. Exports for the day were 14.740
bales, making 3,927,137 so far this sea-
son against 5,493,544 last year.

AutomobiHng
Plain and Simple Code of
Traffic Signals Is a Real
Need Of Automobiles
By c. E. T. Scharps

Motorists Light Lamps To-day, $50 p. m.
A suggestion was made recently by
John N. WHY'S, Of Toledo, that motor
lists should adopt code of three simple
traffic signals, to be made universal,
as nearly as possible. The arm pointing
up would mean a turn to the right;
straight out. to the left; arm down, slow
down without turning. The signals are
natural and easy to give, which com
mends their general adoption 1t
is understood that some automobile
clubs have already adopted them.
There is need for some simple signal
system, the more SO that great many
automobilists apparently do not know
how to indicate what they are going
drivers who hold the hand out as
warning to traffic in back so that it
looks as if they were going to make a
turn to the left, when actually they
intend to and do make the turn to the
right.
Instead Of waggling with the hand
as a sort of "come on" signal for those
in back, they indicate turn that would
carry them across the path of the car
behind. This is so common among
drivers who are not we'll UP on their
job that no matter what else a man
may do by way Of driving car we'll.
this trick alone stamps him as a poor
driver.
A we'll understood code of signals,
given in a clean and snappy way, is
a good thing for motorists to adopt.
Incidentally. never before have there
been observable so many cars with wab-
bling wheels. 1t seems that almost
every automobile that goes by has one
wheel, if not more. loos ly attached,
or not trued up. Aside from the wear
on tires and bearings due to this con-
dtion, the motorist is always in danger
Of a more serious accident. 1t cannot
always happen that when wheel flies
off the party in the car will go un-
scathed. If the car is going fast enough
and the road happens to be narrow,
high-crowAed or on hill when the
thing happens, it will be the ditch for
the whole party, with good chance
that the car will turn over. Then, for
sure, there will be somebody badly
hurt
Motorists ought to sec to it that their
cars are properly ready for the road
before they set out on trips. There
is always the temptation, when the
weather is fine and the roads are good,
to get little speed out of the car.
When an automobile is moving at
thirty miles an hour the effects of
an accident may easily be far more
serious than when the speed is ten
miles an hour less.
These days when the mechanical help
is scarcer than ever automobilists
should be doubly careful about the
condition of their cars before setting
fN.. H.
advance will oftentimes save not only
being hung up on the road, but some
thing more important and perhaps
fatal.

Record Entry
In Big Games

More Than 300 Athletes
Will Take Part in Meet
of K. of G..

A record entry of over 800 ath-

junior outdoor track and field
champions of the Metropolitan Assc-
ciatlon in the annual games, which
Will take place under the jurisdiction
of Long Island Chapter, knights of
Columbus, at Celtic Park, on next Sun
day afternoon This big list of start
ers far exceeds the previous greatest
entry for this meet. The club repre-
sentation numbers twenty eight, and
number of these come from New Jer-
sey and Connecticut
The entries Of thirty athletes had to
be refused by the championship com
mlttee in session last night. as they
did not comply with the eligibility rules.
A majority of the applications rejected
came from athletes who have no club
animation, while others allowed their
registration cards to outlivc their use
fulness of one year.
Among The runners whose entries
tailed to pass muster were John Hell
lum, Pastime Athletic Club; James Nc
Gulre, Presentation Club, and A. ].
Howard, New Haven A. A. In the case
OF Hellum the committee believes that
other persons than the athlete hmself
are responsible for sending in the
entry. Hellum came to this country
several months ago from Norway, where
ne earned the recognition of being one
of the best all around champions of
his country. Therefore, Hellum's en-
try was denied.
Mcclure, a fast sprinter, and How
ard, also an athlete Of more than aver
age ability. caused the refusal of their
entry blanks because they had permit
ted their registration cards to expire.
In the matter of clubs filing the
largest number of representative the
WAY is led by the Paulist and Glencoe
Athletic clubs, with thirty-eight color
bearers each
