The Legend of the Amazons

From the Peoples Home Magazine When Russian women, following the revolution which deposed the Czar took up arms in behalf of their country, 1t seemed that the ancient Creek myth or the Amazons was close to realization. The legend of the Amazons was favor ite among the Greeks. who loved to weave stories of the wonderful feats of these warlike women
 According to the legend the Amazons who were Irresistible in war; lived on the shores of the Black sea- The first Amazons were women whose husbands had all been killed in war The widows decided that marriage was a condition or servitude, and determined to have no more of it. So they trained them selves in the use of arms and became the terror of their masculine neighbors
 Three famous queens of the Amazons are mentioned Hippolyte, who was con- quered by Hercules; Penthesilea, who was slain by Achilles while aiding the Tro- Jans; Thelistris, who visited Alexander the Great, accompanied by 300 of her warriors.
 The Amazon river was so naned be- cause early Spanish explorers Tno were floating down that great stream be- lieved they saw race of women war, riors on the land bordering the river.

New York Futures
New Orleans Cotton

New Orleans, October 9.-Seiling pres sure of the most severe kind was ap- piled to the cotton market today, re- sulting in declines of nearly a cent a pound Momentarily, on the opening. prices were to 20 points up. but all sup port was withdrawn soon after the first call and from then on the ring had q large supply of contracts 10 absorb.
 Selling was heaviest following the quot. ing of spots down 1sS points. At the lowest levels the active months were Sl to 99 points undsr the close of yester- day. Last prices showed net losses of 73 to Sl points.
 While some of the offerings were from liauidating longs and a portion was from spot people who were selling hedges, the pressure came principally from trad CTS for short account who were i'm pressed by theories which recently have risen regarding the effect of peace on the market The main argument in this direction is that the moment peace real. lv comes into sight there will be can cellation of government orders on huge scale.
 The weekly crop and weather reports were called bearsh, although buiiish traders pointed out that the summary stated that the crop generally had made little improvement and that the outlook for a top crop was unpromising.

Over Campbell & Co.'S Wire

New Orleans, October 9.-Conflict of opinion over the effect of the reply to the German note by President Wilson and also over the effect on the market of peace itself, coupled with a lower trend in the spot department caused heavy selling of cotton today and a de- cline of nearly cent pound There was the usual liquidation of long con- tracts in evidence and some hedge sell ng was done but the bulk of offerings appeared to be for short account Bear sentiment increased and bull support was entirely withdrawn.
 Around the first call prices were 5 to 20 points higher, but this improvement did not last long. Selling increased and prices responded to it very quickly. Pres sure increased as the session grew older; the bearish features in the weekly crop reports were made use of while the bullish features were ignored. No att tention at all was paid to the magnifi.l cent victories again scored by the Ameri- can, British and French forces against the Germans. In the afternoon follow ing the marking down of spot prices by l3S points, the contract market fell to ! level 9l to go points under the close Of yesterday. In a word, the weekly crop re- view from thes government stated that while picking was proceeding rapidly the erop had made little improvement in most sections of the belt and that the top crop, generally, was unpromising, in spite of favorable weather conditions
 Technically, the market is much strong CT, but it begins to look as if the pres ent selling movement will have to run it's course.
 Last prices showed net losses for the session of 9 to S1 points.-Shepard & Gluck.

BOTTOM DROPS OUT .OF CORN ON bEARISH E ORE|GN OUTLOOK
Oats Went Off on Absence of Demand, While Provi- sions Followed, Despite
 Renewed Buying

Chicago, October s.-Acute weakness which developed in the corn market to. day came entirely from news of fresh allied military successes and from bear ish views of the diplomatic outlook. Aft CT an extreme fall of 7c a bushel, prices closed unsettled, 3A to 5isc net lower, with November n47s to 11514. and Decem- Der 113Ts to 114. Oats lost to 37sc and provisions 40c to S1.
 Sharp breaks in values together with general selling began at the opening and increased in violence until near the end of the session.
 The profit-taking by shorts led to some what better rallies than those which at times had briefly interrupted the main downward sweep of prices. Throughout the day all factors except those relat- ing to- the war failed wholly to gain attention. This was notably the case With the government crop report and with word that permits for the shipment of Nr~n were being issued less freely, and that instead preference was given to oats. Lowest prices reached were nearly simultaneous with bearish reports as to the attitude of Austria
 Liquidation and absence of demand was much more evident in the oats mar ket than on any recent occasion.
 Provisions dropped with corn despite buying ascribed to packers.

War Brides Still Hitting the Trail Downward, While the Peace Issues Were
 Firm and Strong

New York, October 9.-The stock mar. ket's extreme susceptibility to pending international developments was again strikingly illustrated today. Issues which owe their prominence and former strength chiefly to the war experienced further sharp losses, while issues im- mune from that condition were firm, when not strong.
 Wall street appeared to be in ahso- lute accord regarding the Presidents note, but the speculative element ex- tended it's bear campaign very generally at midday, when rumors of the early de- lection of Austro-Hungary from the cen tral alliance gained wide currency.
 Leading steels and equipment declined 2 to points, Baldwin Locomotive, Amer ican Car, Steel Foundries, Bethlehem, Crucible and Lackawanna steels display ing greatest weakness Lackawanna's S break was accelerated by the company 5 adverse quarterly report.
 General Motors was freely sold in the last hour at an extreme loss of almost ten points, other stocks of the same class yielding with feathers and coppers, as well as numerous low-priced specialties Rails and utilities represented the mar Let's constructive side. Pacific and coal CTS and telephone and Telegraph shares being joined by gas stocks. including Peoples Gas and LaClede Gas, at to almost point gains. Conspicuous among inactive high-priced specialties were Na- tional Biscuit and Sears-Roebuck a. gross advances of About points.

DECEMBER AND ALI DELIVERIES
 ARE BELOW 50 CENTS
General Cotton List Closed Steady at a Net Loss of 2 to 61 Points Under
 Previous Close

New York, october 9-There was a further sharp decline in the cotton mar ket today, with prices breaking below the SO-cent level for December and all the later deliveries under continued nout. dation and hedge selling The genera, list closed steady at a net loss of % to 6l points.
 The market showed rather a reaction. ary tone at the start, first prices being , to 20 points higher on covering and trade buying. Active months sold about % to q points above last nights closing figures right after the call with Oc- tober touching 3L 45c and January SO.S5c This bulge met a renewal of Liverpool and southern hedge selling. however, and the market soon turned easier, with the pressure becoming heavier after the pub lication of the favorable weekly report from the weather bureau. There was another rally of p or 30 points during the middle of the day on covering which seemed to be promoted by reports that a leading Vienna paper had published a statement that Austria must have peace at any price.
 Y But offerings again increased and the market reached the lowest levels of the day in the later trading, with october selling at 3050c and January at 29.37c, and with active months generally show ing net losses of 6S to S6 points. Liver pool was a seller on the midday rally and ethe belief was that good part of the selling represented liquidation of old long lines that had been accumulated on g. belief that improving peace pros- poets would have a bullish influence on prices.
 Tine close showed rallies of several points from the lowest on reports that spot offerings were being withdrawn on the decline. and there seemed to be con- siderable reactionary feeling around the ring in. the late trading, although buy ing was attributed chiefly to covering by shorts.

The market was extremely susceptible to international developments yesterday. War shares underwent further severe depression during midday on reports that Austria would soon announce acceptance of the entente's peace terms. Reactions of 2 to s points ruled among those stocks, but rails and other standard shares were relatively steady. Rails and oils led the rally of the last hour, war shares recovering 1 to points. The closing was irregular. Final Liberty Bond prices were: 3s, s9.96; first convertible As, 97.52; second As, 96.54; first convertible AS, s75s; second convertible 414s, 9654; third 4As, 9666.

State Troops Pay Their Way

Robert Mackay, In the Peoples Home Journal.
 The New York state trooper goes along he roadways, into backyards, through he fields and forests for the prevention ,f the things which fill the prisons. jails md warehouses. His creed of preven- ion and prosecution is based on the fol- owing, of which Major Chandler-phil- ,sopher as well as soldier--is the au- thor:
 Instruct the people to do right
 Distinguish between an accident due o unavoidable circumstances and a will Full misdemeanor.
 Go about with the idea of helpfulness md friendliness; that wins confidence.
 Never permit child to be afraid of you.
 Do not be carried away by rumors. In- astigate every story you hear-both tides.
 Have confidence in yourself by know Ing what is right or wrong in the mat CT of simple laws, and by knowing that 'ou are a good horseman and good ihot.
 Render assistance of any kind. Be a -entleman, courteous, kind, gentle, fair eep yourself and your horse we'll yroomed; stand erect, put snap and vigor nto<<your movements
 Render first aid pending arrival of the ,hysician.
 Maintain the law. If the need arises, fghtl
 Working under these rules, the troop PTS have in one year made 2223 investi- ations, patroiled 326,703 miles, made 2226 ,rrests, of which they have secured 85 ger cent of convictions.
 And in this particular connection let his fact impress itself on the political md other antagonists of the new organ ization: New York appropriated $350. 900 W the first years maintenance of the roopers. Before January l. 1918, the roopers had arrested 42,0O0 violators of he automobile license law. These vio- ators were fined $50 apiece, and paid lnto the state treasury $357.000 In four months the troopers had more than paid tor themselves,

 Market reviews present the inter pretation of bearish effect by peace on cotton. This view, however, meets with strong opposition on the ground that the complete exhaustion of goods reserves. restoration of trade confi- dence. opening of trade territory and urgency needs constitute strongly bullish claim.

Over McReynolds & Julian's Wire

Messrs IT. and B. Beer wire us today as follows:
 Further drastic liquidation occasioned Iurther sharp decline in the market lor spots. and futures today, due to more IaVorable crop accounts. as a. result or good weather in the interior the past week, causing crop ideas to increase Ihe SLOW export demand has contributed .o the weakness of late, as stocks in @ .ne south are increasing because of light snipments to Europe and because of gin hing making rapid progress Compared With last year exports to Fueope from all ports total only 1000 since Friday asalnst l0l,Ooo since August I: 6sS. GOO against 1.00iO00
 Moreover. the demand for account of domestic spinners has been slack. result ing In small sales in the interior and at the ports. Therefore, southern spots nave weakened considerably of late for want or more urgent demand for home ana European account However Amer lcan mills are working on the basis of '1 cents for middling cotton and when prices were much higher. it was claimed that they were making big profits. Now that the value of the raw material is lower 1t is likely that their positions nave been improved to that extent.
 Tn other words, cotton goods are per mltted to be sold by the manufacturer on the basis Sbf 30 cents for middling. and as the mills were reported to be working on big profitable margin when values were much higher for raw cot ton, their margin of profit being larger today than it was sometime ago. Conse- quently it follows that they are likely to become more interested in the mar ket now that prices for spots are much lower than a short while ago. and it is reasonable to expect an improvement in the trade on that account if for no other reason.
 The weekly government weather and crop report was considered favorable
