There is the retired elderly gen

using 40 minutes to announce what
we could say in three. Almost always
he is just an old gentleman whom
we are too kind hearted to snub, and
who comes in on his cane and waits
patiently, too patiently, for his OPP

associations with the community, and
then offers for our literary considera-
ton paper on "The Progress of Sci
ence up to 1850" What we'd like
to print is an article on how science
could produce a motor that wouldn't
break our necks when the Main street
trolley cars start suddenly, and
whether the local traction magnates
would equip their system with it, ii
science did. We'd even be interested

her charming personality, had SEN

indiscreet one evening as to disclose
that we were sympathetic with the
abolition of child labor in factories
and that she could have a column a

material.

Where the Banjo Came From.

The modern banjo was introduced
into England from the United States,
to which country it was probably
taken by the African slaves, who
originally obtained the idea from In
din. The unmusical name "banjo"
seems to have been derived from
"hanya." the name of n Senegambian
instrument Of the guitar species.

Weekly Cotton Review

New York, October 4-The government report on cotton condition received dur ing the week was a disappointment to manufacturers and merchants handling cloths, confirming their worst fears of a small yield of low grade staple. The all ready strong markets grew firmer and some of the large cloth operators began buying for deliveries into the first quar- ter of next year.
 Sheetings were more active. Fine combed yarn goods were very active dur ing the week, buying continuing for de- livery well into 1920. The print cloth mar ket continued very firm on a price basis to 7c Dound above the government levels for daple constructions. The sheet markets were sunsettled at the early part of the week by a price revision downward in one leading line thought to be over prices, but this was overcome by the ad- vance made in another line.
 Mill agents continue to report limited output of goods from the mills and they see no early prospect of any substantia< improvement. This under production ap- pears to be overcoming any contraction in consumption due to high prices Job

ANOTHER SELLING MOVEMENT IN THE
 COTTON MARKET
General List Closed Easy at a Net Decline of 15 to 2 Points Under Fri
 days Close
Hx As.s.Iataa pa..

New York, October 4.-There was a re- newal of yesterdays selling movement at the opening of the cotton market to- day and further sharp break in prices. December sold off 3060, making a de- cline of 45 points from last nights clos ing quotation and of 1S2 points from the high level touched Thursday morning. Rallies followed but were not fully main tained, with December closing at 3O.S4. and with the geenral list closing easy at a decline of Is to 25 points.
 The market opened steady at unchanged prices to decline of 10 points, but before the end of the first hour active months were 90 to 50 points below last night s closing figures. Unfavorable labor news from England and Liverpool selling were factors on the decline. There was a good deal of covering on the decline, however, and there may also have been some trade buying around 30.40 for October and 30 6S for January. Rallies of 40 or 45 points were checked by renewed pressure around 31. 19 for January delivery and the close was several points from the best.
 The bearish theory was expressed in various quarters around the ring was that increasing receipts would relieve the anxiety of spot shorts in the near future. and that no immediate improvement was likely in export demand in view of un- settled conditions abroad.

perhaps the most effective in causing a. sharp reaction from the higher trend of the early week, although >>the cratic movements of several speculative issues, notably Crucible Steel. also contributed to- the setback.
 Judge Gary's testimony before the Sem ate committee provoked considerable dis cussion but Wall street seemed to lose none of it's faith in a satisfactory settle ment of the labor controversy.
 Rails were intermlttently active and strong, the demand at one time embrac- ing high grade shares as well as the speculative group. but all transportations fell back in the general reaction of yes terday.
 The investment situation was the most encouraging feature, Liberty bonds re- taining much of their recent strength, while several new capital issues, mostly of moderate amounts, were readily ab- sorbed.

Coffee Market

By HssNeF"'HF p-N-S
 New York, October 4.-There was d sharp advance in the market for coffee futures here today. owing to more en- couraging advices from Santos and a moderate demand from trade sources. The opening was 30 to 5 points higher and the market closed at a net advance of s6 points with December selling as high as 152oc and closing at 15.35c bid. Closing prices: October, 15.5oc; Decem- ber, January, March, May. July and September, 15.35c. Spots quiet but steady. Rio 7s 151sc; Santos As, 2514 4d2516c. The official cable reported no change in the Brazilian markets except Santos flu tures which were 25o to 400 reis higher. Receipts at the two Brazilian ports were B 600, and Jundiahy receipts 17ooo. Cable advices from Santos say the govern ment has prohibited operations in flu lures between calls.
