Fought for Madero.

The Yaqui Indians fought for Ma
dero and when his brief reign was up
set by his murder and the elevation
of Victoriano Huerta to the presidency,
the Indians were again forced to offer
armed resistance against their landed
properties being taken away from them.
When Gen. Venustiano Carranza be-
came president he assured the Yaquis
that the promises which Madero had
made them would be fulfilled. Believ-
ing that this pledge would be lived up
to, the Yaquis again enlisted in the
armed strife on the side of the new gov
eminent and did much toward restoring
order in the state Of Sonora. Instead,
however. of retaining possession of the
lands as they had been led to believe
they would be. they found that the
properties had been restored to their
former claimants. The promised return
of the few exiled Yaouis still remaining
in Yucatan also failed to be fulfilled
The old oppression that the Yaouis had
been living under for more than a cen
fury was renewed by the Mexican au-
thorities under the direction of Gov.
Gales, who, on October 10, issued a
proclamation calling for the extermina-
tion of all rebelIious Indians in the
state. They were to be given no quar-
ter. 1t was ordered by Gov. Gales that

New Orleans Cotton

New Orleans, November l4.---It was a comparatively quiet session in cot, ton today and after nervousness and iiregularity around the opening, ths tone became steady and more nearly normal conditions prevailed than for sometime past. Following a decline of It to 50 points on the opening call. under liquidation by yesterdays buy CTS, enough support came in to cause recovery and a ner aovance which was gradually widened until it amount ed to 65 to 75 points. The close showed let gains of 45 to 65 points.
 Much of the buying resulted from the statement from Washington that in- formation derived from abroad indi- cased arr export movement this season in excess of 1000, 900 bales larger than the total foreign shipments of last sea- son. Later there was an official de- nial of rumors spread about earlier in the week that the British, French and Italian governments had order ad their cotton commissions in this city to cease buying cotton. One report among the spot people was that Spanish ships to the amount of considerable ton- mage, were on their way to southern ports to load cotton for Spain. Late in the day petition was being circu lated among spot brokers asking tha government to remove present restric. tons on cotton exports.
 The census bureau ngues on Ameri- can mills for October were considered more bearish than expected, even in view of the epidemic of influerzat which prevailed but they had no influence against values.

COTTON MARKET
 WORKING HIGHER
 UNDER NEW RULE
Washington Reports Cotton as Being Scarce Abroad,
 With Increase in Ex-
 ports Reaches 2,OO0,

New York. November 14.-The cot ton market showed firmer tone today. There was some further scattering liquidation, but selling for short &C., count was prevented by yesterdays rulings from Washington and the ex- eitement of the past two days appeared to have subsided with prices working higher on covering, predictions of in- creasing exports and bullish spot ad- vices. The general list closed steady at a net advance of 55 to 125 points
 Liverpool reported sellers at min imum prices representing the maximum permitted decline of 200 points for the day, but the market here opened steady at an advance of 10 to 45 points. There was considerable covering. which was probably promoted by Washington ad- vices emphasizing the scarcity of cot ton. abroad and estimating the possi- ble increase in exports for the season lat 1000 900 bales over last years fig- ures. After selling 55 to 60 points net higher, however, the market met re- newed liquidation and there may also have been some selling on the census report indicating domestic mill con | bales, against 5S4,946 last year. But owing to the influenza small consuinp tion figures had been expected and the market soon steadied on renewed cov- ering in the absence of any increase in spot offerings or hedge sellin. good deal of the buying later was attributed to mills fixing prices and the mark was firm in the late trading, with De- cember selling at 2695c and March at 25,S7c, or 62 to 70 points net higher on the active months.
 Closing prices were approximately at the best level of the day. It was re- ported that the Liverpool Cotton assn citation had passed regulations reduce ing the maximum daily fluctuations to 50 points and prohibiting sales for short account. Part of the selling here was attributed to Japanese interests, and there was also some Liverpool sell ing to liquidate long accounts.

Over McReynolds & Julian,s Wire

New Orleans, November 14.--The mar ket recovered it's equilibrium this norm ing after ruling somewhat lower ill the early trading. owing to assurance from Washington that the export outlook was decidedly encouraging
 Consumption for October in the United States was about as expected, small, owing to shortage of labor and the in fluenza epidemic. Without linters AL 000, against 5S5,000 last year. At the close of October mill stocks and stocks in pub
 lie storage in the United States were 5, 437 900 bales, last year 4,107,000 The ex- cess in stocks compared with last year, however, was only 1.330000 bales against 1, ,623 600 at the close of September, show
 ing a relative decrease of 293,0 bales for the month. Indications are that returns for November one month hence will like ly disclose another big relative decrease
 in the present excess compared with one year ago, owing to light ginnings and passing of the epidemic which will prob ably cause consumption to increase this month.
 Including linters, consumption in Amer ica for the past three months totaled l, 70, 600, against 1,945,ooo for the corre- spending period last year. For over four years the south has been depriyed of tonnage sufficient to move cotton in a large volume to Europe, most of the ship room having been required for food, arms, munitions, troops, etc. Now that hostlities are at an end, more consid- eration should be given to exporting the staple, which would be a big help to the south.
 Coinciding with our oft expressed views concerning the need of cotton abroad, Chairman Brand of the cotton committee on distribution, Washington, is quoted as follows, in regard to the committees recent action preventing short selling on the exchanges: The signing of the armistice brings us sud- denly to the threshold of the reconstruc- tion era Pending developments are of the utmost importance to the entire cotton world The consequence of unfounded ru- mors that tend to promote vicious specu- lative activity and cause unjustified de- moralization must be avoided as far as possible
 The stopage of sinking by U-boats, the monthly increase in new ship tonnage and releasing of ships now engaged in supphng the fleets of the allies. together with the freeing of space previously used in sending munitions to Europe will mean large increase in available tonnage for cotton exports. Based on reports to this committee from the various foreign countries we estimate their requirements and probable imports of cotton under present conditions to be over 2,000,0O0 bales in excess of last. seasons takings. The potential buying power of the world will quickly assert itself.-H. & B. Beer.

TRADERS ARE STILL DEEPLY INTERESTED
 IN REIMBURSEMENT
Leaders Were Unable to Hold Early Gains, Reac- tions Being at Its Height
 During the Last Hour

New York, November 14.-The stocK market today gave further expression to the many conflicting factors which have engaged the earnest attention or tinah- cial and industrial interests since the signing of the armistice.
 Prices were firm to strong at the pe- ginning, rails, shippings, equipments anu oils, together with such specialtles as motors and tobacoos holding their gains to 1 to 8 points throughout the fore noon.
 Later the entire list fell back, the re- versal coinciding with reports from Wash- ington that the war industries board had been empowered to cancel war contracts in excess of comparatively nominal amounts
 There was much discussion Tn stocA market circles as to the advisability or removing restrictions on bank loahs' put ths arguments advanced in that quarter received little encoura cement from finan- cial institutions.
 The reaction was at it's height Ill the last hour when oils and industrlals not onlv forfeited all gains, but gave way to net losses of 1 to points Motors also yielded easily with kindred speclal- ties. U. ;. steel gave pfoHise at snS outset of regaining substantial part of it's recent loss, advancing IA points, but relinquishing all it's advantage and closed at a slight fractional loss.
 Advances of 1 to 2 points in rails, with Southern Pacific the leading fea- ture also were soon forfeited, while cop pers labored under the handicap of ad- verse earnings and shippings lost ground on further postponement of the mercan- tile marine deals Liberty Bonds eased slightly, domestic railway and indus- trial issues yielded 1 to IF per cent and internationals were irregular.

New York, November 14-There was no change in the local market for raw sugar with centrifugal quoted at 7.28c to the re- finer.

 In refined there was a little better inquiry noted and prices were unchanged at n1ne cents for fine graduated. It was said that the refiners had considerable sugar on hand and were able to make prompt shipments.

Scientists for years have been per plexed over the wonderful frozen well at Yalutsk, Siberia As long ago as 1922 it was announced that the ground was frozen to an abnormal depth at the place referred to- In the summer of 1920 Russian merchant set gang of men to the task of aseertaining the depth of the frozen stratum. They gave up the job after digging some 30 feet in solidly frozen ground. The Russian Academy of Science took the matter in hand and between 1858 and tS44 dug to depth of 3s2 feet and then abandoned the shaft because the earth was still frozen as hard as rock.

New Orleans, November 14.--A stead fer feeling prevailed in the cotton mar ket today and there were faint signs of more normal conditions Nervous ness and irregularity appeared on the opening, but did not persist. During the day Liverpool announced, i'll line with the action taken on this side, that no more foreign selling orders would be executed in that market, except in the way of liquidation, and that daily fluc- tuations would be limited to 50 penny points instead of 100 as heretofore. Tn all directions the disposition is to iron, out the difficulties caused by the war and to smooth the way for the business that peace will bring.
 Around the opening prices were 10 to .5O points off but this decline was quick ly recovered and replaced by a net ad- vance which eventually amounted to 65 10 75 points In the early afternoon there were some small recessionS from the highest level.
 A feature of the day which attracted .st,s amount of attention and unques- ply stimulated some of the buy aaA Gas the statement made by Charles Brand, head of the cotton distribu- fan committee of the war industries F.3srS. that the outlooK was for exports fAss season at least 100000 bales in
 xcsSs of those of last year. Later MT. arSnl issued a statement in which he ssee1r red false the rumor that the Brit sh. Srench and Italian cotton cimmis- sGong had been ordered by their gov-i snalt4 ats to stop buying cotton.
 AZ sxpected, the census bureau report or American mills for October were ses ristl, showing consumption of only 4s9.ss* bales of cotton against 5S4,- ssg tH9 same month last year.
