The SoundneSs of horse is one of the first considerations of the buyer and should be of the breeder. accord ing to the United States department of agriculture. If the animal is not suffi- ciently sound to withstand the use for which he is intended, the logical time to learn of this is before the purchase
 Selection must be based primarily on thorough, systematic examina- tion; the examination should be based on clear knowledge of desirable and undesirable qualities.
 Not only the presence of unsound. ness. but also the condition or serious ness of the unsoundness should be noted.
 Temporary unfitness should be dis tinguished from permanent unsound. ness.
 A hurried examination Is likely to prove disappointment.

New Orleans Cotton By Associated Press

New Orleans, October 15.-Values were depressed in cotton today, some months going to new low levels for the season, mainly by cablegrams from Liverpool to the effect that the British coal strike would be in force in the morning. The failure of delegates from the south to obtain financial concessions at Washing ton was also against the market, and more or less selling resulted from new further curtailment by mills, both in this country and in England. The opening was lower and prices were soon 49 to 72 points under the close of yesterday, with December down to 19l8c. The heavy rains in the western belt and fear that they would spread to the eastern division caused good recoveries, and later in the session the rumor that President Wilson had ordered an investigation into agr;- cultural conditions in this country put the market to it's highest, where it stood II points over to 10 points under the final quotations of yesterday, with De- ceniber up to 1990c- Tn the last quarter hour of the day there was pronounced softening, plainly because of fear of what the coal situation in England would develop tomorrow and last prices were at net losses for the day of 45 to ob points.

WHEAT SCARED ON WILSON
 INQUIRY AS TO THE CAUSE OF THE REGENT BIG SLUMP
In Provisions the Outcome Varied From Twenty-Five Gents De-
 cline to $25O Advance
By Associated Press

Chicago October 15.-Wheat prices went soaring today on news that Pres- dent Wilson had taken up with Cover nor of Kansas the charges on which Governor Allen recently called for an embargo against imports of wheat from Canada. The market closed ex- cited, S% to 10A cents net higher, with December 2.171a to s2.1s1a, and March 202A to 203. Corn finished 2 to 5 up, and oats gained 1A to 1M cents. In provisions the outcome varied from 25c decline to $2.50 advance. It was no turn the session was nearly at an end that the wheat trade stampeded in earnest. During the final half hour especially, the trade was on big scale with shorts covering in a hurry. led by a prominent eastern speculator Earlier the fluctuation were confined within ordinary limits, and at first prices had tended downward influenced by an absence of business and by gos. sip that the Canadian government was endeavoring to press forward the mar. keting of the crop in Canada. Later, however, export business in corn helped to turn the wheat market upward and the effect was increased by news that Great Britain had bought 1,750,000 bushels Of wheat on the Pacific coast. Attention of the last focused more and more on developments in regard to President and Governor Allen.
 Estimates were current that export buying of corn in the last thre days totalled 100000 bushels. Oats merely reflected the strength of corn and wheat
 Provisions advanced owing to higher quotations on holdings and big export clearances of lard and meats.

BRADSTREET REVIEW
Rx Associafed Press


 New York, October l5-Bradstreets's to- morrow will say:
 Summer temperatures, low prices for farm produce and. the growing unwill- iEgness of buyers whether at retail or wholesale, to operate, in view of the pro- visional prices uncertainty, have acted as pretty effectual checks to activity in many lines Indeed. something like dead lock has been reported in both dis tribution and in manufacturing industry, in that, while many lines, as for in stance, iron and steel coal and related trades, are still active on old or new buy ing and to larger extent than prev iously noted, manufacture is restricted to the barest needs. To find parallel to the present quiet, indeed, it is neces- sary to go back to the period following the outbreak of the great war. Country buying is rather quieter. mail order houses are not oHer-burdened with business. and by final distributors it is felt that marked seasonal change re- sulting in cold weather is the only pos- sible way out of the present condition.

New York, October 15--The market to- day made new low price for December
 in consequence of another bad break in Liverpool which market is influenced by the coal strike announced for tomorrow. Our cable advicee are to the effect that there will probably be a strike, but 1t is expected the indignation of the general public will soon put a stop to it. How ever. rains fell in parts of Texas but clearing weather is predicted. and there dces not seem to be any continued storm Tn prospect. There was little better de- mand from the trade and considerable speculative covering today on the theory that the market was not weak under 200 for December and that the worst of the news in reference Co the strike abroad is now known. There is no real change in the general situation as yet. We expect rather a steadier market now. as we do not believe that the south will be will ing sellers under present prices. The real change. however. will come when there is a demand from the customer, and advices on that point are not yet op- timistic. Our Fall River offices report this afternoon that further curtailment is likely. Hubbard Bros. & Co.

New York, October Many bearisn predictions were realized when December contracts sold down to 19.9Oc and March to 19c in the cotton market here this morning.

New York, October 15.-(Special) With the registration in New York city a little under 1,40O.Oo0 and deducting from that the proportionate number usually noticed of those who failed to vote although hav- ing registered, the aggregate vote in this city should be not far from 1.90O. .O00. per haps a little more. Some have feared lest this heavy vote might delay the count so that it would be impossible to learn until the early hours of the next morning which party received the plu- rality in the state. But all who are fa- miliar with the counting of votes are persuaded that within an hour or two after the polls are closed it will be pos sihle to report the result in New York state All of the experts carefully scruti- nize when counting the votes begins in New York the vote as recorded in some Of the districts where upon earlier cleo tions, large majorities one way or the other were secured. If there is observed a steady falling away from the averages about the same in all of the districts then it is not difficult to make a rapid estimate which will tell the story of the election so far as this state is concerned A striking example of this occurred in 1888, when General Harrison was the re- publican candidate for President and President Cleveland the democratic can didate. In less than two hours after the polls closed the results from a consider able number of election districts were so speedily reported that it was easy to see that a falling off in the vote for Cleve- land, as compared with the democratic vote in earlier years, had taken place.
 Therefore rapid estimate which proved to be fairly accurate was made which indicated that Harrison had carried the state by not less than 10000 Within two hours after the polls had closed extra editions of the newspapers were upon the street. which reported that Harrison had carried the state, and if he carried New York the presumption was that his party had been successful in enough of the other states to bring him the electoral vote.
 It may not be possible this year to base an estimate of the probable result upon the earlier reports which come from some of the election districts of New York. es- pecially in view of the magnitude of the registration. But it is accurate to report that the political managers of each party believe that within two hours after the polls close it will be possible to estimate the vote of New York city so successfully that it win be safe to report that the state has given a plurality for one or H.
