sibility for the gambling, pleaded guilty
to pool selling and was fined, while his

TAXPAYERS
FACE LOSS.

He said this undertaking on the part
Of the English government Is placing on
the shoulders Of the English taxpayers a
loss Of 500, 100000 every year for sixty
years.
He spoke of the high cost OF tho
house. as compared with what they
would have cost before the war, and
said the rental for them is II shillings
week, while 80 shiIlings a week would
be necessary to pay the interest on the
bonds. the amortization charge over a
period of 60 years and a small amount
for depreciation. The other 20 shillings
a week. he said, are paid By the gov
ernment-in other worGs. that the gov
eminent is substituting rents, and that
some one must pay for It,
He said that he could see grave dis
advantag es In Government housing in the
United States, and expressed the belief
that a man should stand on his own
feet.
He said, Eve want to see the private
builder producing houses but added
that the great question involved was
the cost Of building-the price of nate
rial and labor, and he expressed the be-
lief that If the prices Of material and
labor were fixed at a reasonable margin

Yesterdays coffee market was mostly
see-saw affair. with prices breaking
into new low ground one minute and
then recovering the loss the next. On
the call July was 20 points lower, with
other months to II points higher.
Santos was reported frmer by the
early cables, and this attracted new
long buying, which. together with GOV
ering, cerried prices 1G to 20 points
above initial figures by midday. Then
a renewal OF trade selling set in and
prices broke sharply, carrying Septem-
ber to go, December to 1910 and
March tc 1925, or into new low ground.
The break was followed by the receipt
of official advices that Santos had re-
acted and was 25 to 125 reis lower
At the close the market was sensitive
and unsettled, and on covering much of
the earlier losses We're recovered, final
prices being net unchanged to an ad-
vance of 19 points.
Firm offers were unchanged on we'll

With the cessation of heavy selling
on the curb market yesterday prices
moved up slightly, but the gains IN
most instances were small and repre-
sented only the reaction from bearish
sentiment, which for the time being IS
not so strongly felt
While unsettled conditions on the
stock exchange precluded enlarging
commitments, professional traders ap-
parently felt that little was to be
gained in depressing stocks further,
and as a consequence kept out of the
market On the other hand, there was
nothing to encourage buying, and the
general list drifted aimlessly. General
Asphalts upturn was attributed to
covering by shorts, who were eager to
close their accounts at the lowest price
obtainabe, and the stock mounted to

Strength in Cotton
Market in Spite of
Decline i'm Prices
October Shows Greater
Resistance to Selling
Pressure; Shorts Not So
Eager to Depress Values

While lower than the previous nights
close throughout the day, the cotton
market experienced less aggressive sell
ing pressure than it met with on
Wednesday, indicating to market OBJ
servers that the short interest, un
dobtedly large, was somewhat less
confident and inclined to take ad
vantage of the soft spots to re-
place sales. This was particu-
largly noticeable in October, which,
in marked contrast to the weakness dis
played the previous day, ruled .rele-
lively steady and Increased its premium
again over the later months. Around
32, at which it sold early, there was
an active demand, which later extended
to the whole list. so that the late mar
-ket was firm with sharp upturns all
along the line, closing 10 to rs points
net lower.
In opening prices there was decline
of 7 to 80 points, following the weak
ness of cables, unfavorable Manchester
advices and the report Of a Memphis
paper estimating condition al 1866,
against 69.3 a month ago ard ten
year July average Of 1873, with a pos
sible crop Of 1890 600 bales This
was the highest private figure thus far
issued, although ali have been above
rs with the exception Of one put out
later in the day by Western house
showing only 73, which pulled down
the average of those published to 75.4,
cr shade under the ten-year average.
Crop and weather advices Of the
forcroon tended to increase bearlsh
sentiment without materially increas

prices could easily move upward on
The appearance of any bull news, in the
oversold condition of room traders.
This view was confirmed in the last
hour, when Wall Street houses who
had sold freely early in the day on the
weakness Of exchange and absence of
any encouragement in outside con-
ditions became heavy buyers, advanc
ing prices close to best levels of the
day.
In this, as we'll as in the local b.,

Corn Declines Slightly
after Good Sized Cain

Shorts in the corn market were
active buyers early in the day and
prices experienced gains of 22s 10 4
cents from the previous close. The
technical position of the market was
believed TO be strong as a result OF
the recent heavy selling, and recent
reports of the need of rainfall through.
out the Ohio Valley caused more or
less apprehension Of unfavorablc crop
development.
After shorts had covered, however,
the market reacted sharply under sell

had recently been on the buying side
