Shannon & Co.'s Letter

New York, october 4.-Althoush the weather map was unfavorable with the map indicating much cooler weather with possibly rain and weekly figures were re- garded as bullish, the market eased off further under selling from the south and from local traders, who hold the view that with increasing receipts the supply of contracts will increase in proportion through hedge selling. Heavy frosts were reported in the Rocky mountain re-
 gions, but local map readers did not think 1t probable that there would be any killing frosts in the belt The stock market was steady and exchange was about unchanged with sterling at 42l& and francs S35
 The situation, as usual, sinners down to the question of how correct the theory is that the south will be unable to handle the early receipts without cracking open. No one can speak with certainty on that point, but if our information is correct
 the crack does not promise to be very l wide-Post & F1agg.

Where Airship Is Handy

From the Thrift Magazine.
 Just as we have reached the era of national prohibition, a way has been found for reaching Europe in a great hurry Under the newest development of inventive genius, thirsty man can hop to the other side, discuss matters of i'm portance with a friend till his words be- gin to run together and his hat settles permanently over one eye, and then he can get back in ample time to have the headache right in his own home. This is indeed remarkable age.

Over Thomason-Parker & Co.'S Wire

New Orleans, October 4.-F'urther de-
 clines were made by cotton today, selling
 being encouraged by the continued acute
 labor situation in England, the deadlock
 in the steel strike in this country and
 the labor unrest in other directions. The
 statement by his physician that Presi- dent Wilson is dangerously i'll was not
 well received by the trade, and not a
 little of the selling of the day may be
 laid to it As was the case yesterday,
 the market was only willing to- consider
 bearish influences and bu1lish influences were ignored. The weather map was unfavorable, in it's promise of wet and cold weather for the belt, but 1t caused no buying. The opening was lower and the decline proceeded until 1t amounted to fl to 47 points. Late in the day shorts took profits and recoverieS to within about 10 points of yesterdays close came about. The weather map indicated light rains in the central belt and also in south Texas The forecast called for showery to rainy weather over a good part of the belt with lower temperatures nearly everywhere in the west A cold wave is headed toward the belt and has al ready caused snow and freezing temper atures to the northwest. Rains. of course, will do much damage because so much cotton is open. In the present temper of the market it is doubtful if even very unfavorable weather would have much effect. Mondays map may be very bad, but may be offset by bearish interpre- tation of other features, such as labor news.
 The market closed at net declines of IS . to 2 poiHts.-Shepard & Gluck.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'S Letter

New York, October 4-Hubbard Bros. & Co.'S daily letter Further heavy sell ing for Liverpool and some hedge selling from the south caused another sharp break in the market today. The decline was stopped by trade buying for mill ac- count, the market recovering most of the loss only to sell off at the close under more southern selling. Sentiment is now badly mixed. as the trade have been of the belief that the shortness of the crop would be the dominant factor. They are now feeling the influences of general con- ditions throughout the world. This is especially true as regards cotton, because
 the situation in England is such that exports are practically prohibited and no great demand for exportation can be ex- pected until there is radical improve ment in the strike situation in that coun- try Meantime there has not been the heavy liquidation that such a decline could have brought while a rally should be expected at any moment. it must not be forgotten that there is a large amount
 of long cotton to be sold.-Cotton Ex- change New York.

ST. Brice and Football.

In November is the festival of ST..
Brice, who may be called the patron
saint of football players, not alone be-
cause his feast day comes during the
season of the gridiron game, but for
quite another reason. st. Brice's day
was long generally observed in Eng
land, and in the year 1902 the celebra-
ton took the form of a general massa-
ere of the Danes. 1t was on that day,
according to tradition, that the Eng
lish game of football was invented,
with the head of a Dane as the bali.
st. Brice, of course, was not response
Bile for either the massacre or the foot
ball game, having died some six cen
turtles before. He was a bishop OF
Tours and lived in the fifth century.

BELIEVES BOXING IS
BECOMING LOST ART
Jack McAu|iffe Doesn't Like
Fighters of Present Day.
LightWeights at Today Do Not Com
pare With Those of Decade or Two
Ago-HandIers Unwilling
to Take Chances.

Jack McAuliffe, the only unbeaten
lightweight champion Of the world,
who Joined the army just previous to
the signing of the armistice, does not
believe that any Of the lightweight
boxers of the present day can COM
pare with the famous lightweights of
a decade or two ago.
"There must be something, too, in
the idea that boxing is becoming a
lost art when famous boxers like Nc
Auliffe, Kid Mccoy, Tommy Ryan and
Philadelphia Jack O'Brien say So"
says a writer in an exchange.
"They can't all be off in their reckon
ing.
"Who or what's to blame? I don't
know. Everybody perhaps. A boxer
gets in the ring and his seconds begin
to yell at him to keep away and not
take chances.
1.-THE boxer hears his seconds, 0beys
orders, and what's the result? No
fight.
eff a mans handlers don't want him
to take chances they shouldn't ask
him to get in the ring.
"There are times, Of course, when a
boxer shouldn't take chances, when
he should stay away as far as he can
from the other fellow, but that's only
when he's been hit a clip on the chin
or stomach-when he's in distress.
"When he's not in distress it's his
business to take chances. How's he
going to hit the other fellow if he
isn't close enough to reach him? Nc

used to consume various unmarketable
substances. The value of milk is
known on every farm although it may
not be fully appreciated, and any one
who has fed pigs knows the keen
appetite they have for milk and its
products. In the neighborhood Of
many large diaries pork production
has become a very prominent and lu-
crative supplement to the dairy indus
try. The hog is also a large factor in
cheapening the production of beef.
Hogs are placed in the cattle feed
lots to utilize the corn and other feeds
which the cattle have failed to digest
and which otherwise would be wasted.
Hogs following steers in many cases
have increased the profit per steer by
Sc to SO. Farmers and hotel and res.
taurant owners are using kitchen
refuse to produce salable pork. In
fact, as a consumer of by-products the
hog has no rival.
However, this propensity in many in

care Milk products, animal offal, etc.

results in spreading disease but causes

They're crazy.
II suppose Cans wasn't taking
chances when he stood close enough
to let the other fellows punches pass
within half an inch of his chin.
"Tommy Ryan didn't take chances, I
guess, when he stood fat-footed and
caught on the palms Of his gloves the
straight punches that terrific hitters
like Kid Carter and Mysterious Billy
Smith aimed at his nose.
"They all took chances, I'm telling
you. Jim Corbett took chances when
he faced John L. Sullivan; hear 'em
