An early advance. the result Of the
report giving rather smaller ginning
figures than had been expected, was
followed by a decline in the cotton
market after the publication Of The
official crop figures. These were about
Us anticipated in local circles. but
brought in some selling from the
South The market became firm
again in the later trading. Deccm bcr
broke from 2.93 to ;2.15 and closed at
$3.50. with the general list closing
steady at net advance of Is to 27
points.
First prices ranged from : points
lower to 10 points higher than the
closing Tuesday, but almost imnkdi-
ately turned lirmcr on covering and
trade buying the active months rising
from 35 to SO points. This bulge met
increased hedge selling, which became
more active dusing the middle Of the
day. Early buyers were disappointed
that the government reports had not
brought in moro fresh demand and
there was scattering liquidation on
tho break. which uncovered stop
orders. October sold - points nct
lower and later months 40 to 55
points under Tuesdays closing figures
in the carly afternoon, but tysdc buy
ing checked the decline at this level
and there were good rallies later
owing to the continued favorable war
news.
Exports for tho day were 1866
bales, making 579.532 so far this sea-
son, against S42,l41 last year. South
ern spot markets as officially re-
ported were y points lower TO %
points higher. The increase OF near
ly 100000 bales in the crop indication
had been pretty we'll discounted in
local circles, but the increased South
crn selling suggested that it had not
been altogether expected in that
quarter.

factors in the different commodity
markets which have lain dormant
through ghoUt the duration of the war arc

believes under existing circumstances

planted TO winter wheat, while prep

 In concluding the speaker portrayed the conditions under which the Ger man people gagged and bound, pay bloody tribute to the insatiate ambition of the house of Hohenzollern' and said that mo citizen of the embattled nations, not even the son of the great pacitist, Henry Ford, is more surely immune from bodily harm" than are the German emperor's six sons, 'who will be preserved undamaged for pos terity."
 Sons of the presidents of the United States he said, have been less timor ous Without mentioning by name his father-in-lav, Colonel Roosevelt, MT, Lolgworth said;
 'AlI four sons of a former president have been at the real front, three of them married men with children, upon them there was no possible legal ob- ligat ton. One has perished gloriously on the field of honor, two have been wounded, one so seriously that he has been inva1ided home; the only one who has escaped injury has been decorated for conspicuous ga1Iantry in action.'
 He added that a son of the only other living ex-president. referring to MT. Taft. is at the front and that if President Wilson had been blessed with sons of fighting age they, too> would have been on the firing line

KAROLYI APPROVES
 OF WILSON PROGRAM
Leader of Hungarian Independent Party Also Rejects German
 Desire For Mftteleuropa.

Basel, Sept. 9.-President Wilson 8 program as 8, basis for the negotia- ttons for peace are endorsed by Count Michael Karolyi, president of the Hungarian independent party A dispatch from Budapest quoting from an open letter written by Count Karolyi to his electors to whom he recommends an early peace, says:
 "A decisive military victory, de- spite its successes, is a dream which it is useless to pursue. The prime condition of peace negotiations" is the democra tization of nations and the abandonment of imperialists' theories. A second condition is that we should not become slaves to the idea of a middle Europe. eiher mili- tary, economically or politically, and that we should not strengthen our a1- liance with Germany which would' form the first step towards the reali- zation of this central Europe
 We ought to accept as a basis for negotiations president Wilson's pro- -
