THE CREED OF A MAN.

Among the papers of the late
Thomas Van Alstyne, electrical
engineer expert of the Westing-
house Company, widely known as
one Of the foremost of his PROBES
sion, was found this piece of prac-
teal philosophy, which men of to-
day cannot give too much consid-
eratiOn:
''To respect my country, my
profession and myself; to be hon
est and fair with my fellow-men,
as [ expect them to be honest and
fair with me. To be a loyal citi-
zen of the United States of Amer
lea; to speak of it with praise and
act always as a trustworthy Gus
todian of its good name. To be a
man whose name carries weight
wherever it goes.
"To base my expectations OF re-
ward on solid foundation OF
service rendered; to be willing to
pay the price of success in honest
effort; to look upon my work as
an opportunity to be seized with
JOY and made the most of, and not
as painful drudgery to be reluct-
antly endured.
ITO remember that success lies
with myself-my own brain, my
own ambition, my own courage
and determination. To expect diff
ficulties and force my way thru
them ito turn hard experience into
capital for future use. To believe
in my proposition to carry an air
Of optimism in the presence Of
those l meet; to dispel i'll tenn
per with cheerfulness, kill doubts
with a strong conviction, and re-
duce active friction with an agree
able personality.
"To make study of my bust
ness; to know my profession in
every detail to mix brains with
my efforts, and use system and
method in my work. To find time
to do every needful thing by new
er letting time find me doing
nothing. To hoard days as mis-
er boards dollars; to make every
hour bring me dividends, increas-
ed knowledge, or healthful recre-
alton. To keep my future UNI
mortgaged by debts; to save as
well as earn; to cut out expensive
amusements until | can afford
them; to steer clear Of dissipation
and guard my health of body and
peace of mind as a precious stock
IN trade.
Finally, to take a grip on the
joys of life; to play the game like
a man. To fight against nothing
so hard as my own weakness, and
to endeavor to grow in strength,
a gentleman, Christian.
$50 may | be courteous to men,
faithful to friends, true to God, a |
in the path | tread"

New Orleans Cotton


 New Orleans, La, October 11.-Ex cept for a brief period in the early ses- sion the cotton market stood at the decline today, being influenced by the financial troubles in Cuba, the con tinued absence of a spot demand, high ly favorable weather over the belt, un- favorable reports from textile centers and toward the close, the report that Welsh coal miners were voting against the proposition advanced to avert the coal strike, prices reaching their lowest levels on this feature.
 For awhile in the early trading the very poor cables and the Cuban crisis caused heavy selling under which prices went 27 to Al points under the close of last week. Shorts commenced to cover at the decline and this move ment finally attained large propor- tions, many trades evidently wanting to even up over the holiday tomorrow Declines were recovered and prices sent Is to 23 points higher than the close of Saturday. After mid-session a sag gradually set in with the market show ing less and less resistance until, final ly prices were 60 to 68 points under the last quotations of Saturday with December at 19.61. The close was at 19.74 for December with the more ac- tive months showing net losses for the day of 49 to 53 points.

ACTION OF FARMERS CAUSES A BULLISH
 MARKET IN THE PIT
By Associated Press

Chicago, October 11.-Definite steps which farm organizations have taken to force the wheat market up to 8 a bushel had decidedly bullish effect to- day on prices. The market closed strong, "A @9Ac net higher with De- cember $2.071s @2.08 and March $2.03A @ @2.03h. Corn gained 1@1kc and oats
 F q Ac. In provisions the outcome va ried from unchanged figures to PIC de- cline.
 From the outset the attention of the majority of wheat traders appeared to Iocus chiefly on the tactics of pro, oucers. The fact that offerings were of much higher volume than usual did a good deal to emphasize current talk that grain was being sold below cost. ana to stimulate bullish sentiment. On the other hand, reports of strained financial conditions in Cuba led to something of reaction and, so. too olo assertions of Former Wheat Direc- tor Barnes that war prices on eyery- thing were becoming things of the mast. Y resn advances, however, resulted from assertions that 60 per cent of United States wheat crop had already been marketed, and from an erroneous an nouncement of advance in the visible supply totals.
 Corn and oats sympathized with wheat strength. Provisions were weak. owing 10 lower quotations on hogs.

SOUTHERN HEDGE
 SELLING CAUSES
 DROP IN COTTON
Tone Was Steady at the Close, With Declines of Twenty five to Sixty Points for
 / the Day
By Associated Press

New York. October 1.-The cotton market was under continued pressure of southern hedge selling today and prices broke sharply late in the afternoon when there was heavy selling, suppos- edly in liquidation of Wall street hold ings, purchased last week. All months but October made new low records, with December selling off to 2o.S5c and Jan uary to 1s.90c. Last prices were some 20 to 25 points up from the lowest on near months and the tone was steady, but the market showed declines of 25 to 50 points for the day.
 The opening was steady at a decline of So points to an advance of II points, near months being relatively easy, ow- ing to the circulation of October mo- tices, unfavorable goods trade advices and southern selling of December. Trade interests were buyers of later de- liveries and after some early irregu- larity prices showed rallies around mid day on covering for over the holiday to- morrow.
 The persistency of the pressure, de- spite reports of more general holding, seemed to discourage recent Wall street buyers and offerings were heavier late in the afternoon. with October selling off to 21.60c and with active months generally showing net losses of 45 to so points. The closing rallies were attrib- uted to renewed covering. Both Amer ican markets will be closed tomorrow, while Liverpool will remain open. Weather conditions in the south were considered generally very favorable for maturing late cotton and picking the earlier crop in good condition. Private cables reported hedge selling in Liver pool absorbed by domestic and conti- neptal trade buying on scale down.

TREND OF PRICES WERE REACT|ONARY
 ON WALL STREET
Money Market Was Sensitive, Call Loans Opening at Seven and One Half to Eight
 Per Cent
By Associated Press

New York, October 1.-The recent reactionary trend of prices in the stock market made further progress today. developments over the week. end and during the session contribut- ing to the adverse movement. Last Saturdays clearing house statement fully corrected the previous week S deficit in actual reserves, but this was neutralized by another expansion of loans and discounts to the largest ag- gregate of the year. As a result to- days money market was sensitive, call loans opening at 71s per cent, rising to 8 per cent and mounting to 9 per cent, the months rate, just before the close, while time money was almost unobtainable.
 Many vulnerable spots were uncov- cred by the bears, particularly among oil, sugar, leather and miscellaneous specialties. Royal Dutch was under pressure from foreign offerings. sugar reacted on unfavorable advices from Cuba and the break in leather and paper shares accompanied reports of further slowing down in those in dustries.
 Steels and equipments eased on more circumstantial rumors of prospective price changes and coppers fell back moderately before announcement was made of s25,000.0oo bond issue by the Anaconda Copper Company.
 Liberty bonds were active and strong after early irregularity, but the gen eral bond market, including interna- tionals, was dull and uncertain. Total sales, par value, aggregated s12,375.000 U. $. bonds were unchanged on call.

Get-Rich-Quick- Pirate
The New Success Magazine,

From The New Success Magazine.
 The gospel of the Get Rich Quick" parasites who build air castles for their victims and real castles for themselves Is terse:
 CD "A fool is born every minute"
 CD "A fool and his money are soon parted"
 Posing as bankers and brokers, the financial parasites SCOUT the country for the fools and then exercise their nimble wits in devising schemes to ac- complish the partition. How many mill lions of dollars are parted from the fools every year may be cohjectured from the millions of dollars spent by the psuedo- financiers in fake adver- Using. Another index of tn. richness of the harvest of parting money from the fools Is the occasional exposure of some particularly glaring and bung- ling imposture, when the calculable "swag" runs into the millions. But these frauds are seldom exposed, for the victims are as usually anxious as the victimiZers to escape the limelight of publicity. Most men prefer to lose their money rather than hear their neighbors quote from the parasites gospel. "A fool and his money are soon parted"

 WHAT THE HOTELS ARE DOING
 In the summer months the hotels of New York were not operating to their capacity. Within a few weeks. how ever, they have been compelled to turn away in the aggregate hundreds who were anxious to register. Night after night applicants for rooms are told there are none, and they go forth seeking here and there hotel accom- modation. Even the clubs which have rooms are compelled to turn awa\ club members at night, because all the rooms were reserved and occupied
 The greater part of these visitors to New York are here on business The large wholesale stores are thronged with them. So that this furnishes in- cidental proof that although there may be some business depression due to deflation, nevertheless fundamental business conditions are excellent and business men are looking for very large domestic trade from this time on
 THE SOUTH AND PROTECTION
 It is wholly non partisan agitation which has begun in the south and which has for it's purpose the securing
 
 which will embody a protective tariff of the kind which leading business men of the south believe to be neces- sary. The southern tariff congress- which has been in session this week at New Orleans with which the governor of Louisiana, John M. Parker. is promi- nently associated, was for the purpose of perfecting a permanent southern tariff association. John H. Kirby of Houston, one of the prominent leaders in southern development, a day or two ago while speaking of this proposed as- sociation to secure protective tariff. said that it was vital that the whole question be taken out of partisan politics and placed upon a high plane of discussion.
 Thus Boston is the northeastern sec tion of the country and New Orleans in the southwestern are uniting in agitat- ing in favor of protective tariff, Some surprise has been expressed that a movement of this kind should be un- der way in the south. But it is for gotten that several of the southern states were before the slavery issue became paramount whig states Louisiana was, Virginia was. Kentucky and Tennessee were and a whig can didate for the presidency, who was elected in 1S4s. General Taylor was a citizen of Louisiana.
 The whig party in the south stood chiefly for protective tariff sufficient to, stimulate American industries and to secure for wage earners high wages Therefore it is not to be wondered that now that new issues are taking the place of the old ones, there should have been begun in the southern states a powerful agitation in favor of pro-

New York, October n.-(Specfai)- Liverpool broke very badly over the week end, owing to bad trade in Man- chester and some heavy offers from the south, particularly from the southwest
 Our market opened lower. but there was fair demand from the domestic trads below 20 cents for March and May, which steadied the market through most of the day Some reselling of cotton bought last week brought about de- cline in the early afternon. but general ly speaking, the market was steadier than has recently been the case. There appeared to be less hedge selling In evi- dence than recently. but all the same tune aside from the moderate buying of the spring months, there was no in crease in the trade demand. Weather conditions continue very favorable. but it remains more a question of when trade will pick up than it does of the crop. HUBBARD BROS.
