SHEPARD & GLUcK COTTON LETTER

NEW ORLEANS. Oct. n.--Short cover
ing over tomorrow's holiday furnished the
cotton market with about its only support
today and when shorts satisfied their de-
mand the market sagged under continued
pessimistic feeling regarding the general
financial situation. the lack of spot de-
mand and the absencse of any new business
in finished goods. Developments in the
spot department are likely to decide the
course of prices after the holiday.

NEW YORK, Oct. 11.-Saturday's sharp
break was followed by irregularity at the
reopening of the cotton market today Near
months were lower in response to easy
cables, continued good weather in the south
and renewed hedge selling, while the trade
seemed to be buying the later deliveries
because of their relative cheapness. First
prices were 80 points lower to II points
higher, and while near months rallied after
the call, some of the latter deliveries eased
off, with, May selling down to 1850, or D
points net lower, and into new low ground
for the season. After selling at 2O.64c ON
the call, December rallied to 2O.s5c, but did
not fully hold the advance, and fluctuations
were irregular. Early advices reported that
the holding movement in the southwest, was
spreading and that marketing was being re-
tarded In some sections by night riding
activity.
The midmorning rallies carried prices
about 20 to 40 points above last nights
closing figures with December selling at
21.3Oc on covering and trade buying. As
soon as the more. urgent demand from
shorts had been supplied, however, prices
turned easier owing to the continued circu-
lation of notices and lack of sufficient de-
mand to absorb further hedge selling by
the south. December broke to 20.97c with
active months generally easing back to
about Saturdays closing figures. The 0c-
tober notices were estimated at 1900
bales.
The early afternoon break extended to
21.I5 for October, or 65 points net lower
points below Saturdays closing figures with
most of them making new low ground for
the movement talk Of an easier spot
basis in the western belt. Mareh sold at
1890, but prices rallied 90 or 80 points
around 2 o'clock on renewed covering.

good weather over the belt put the price of
cotton q to Al points lower around the
opening today, December falling to 1880;
but before the trading went very far good
demand from shorts was met, the covering
evidently being induced by the holiday to-
morrow in the American markets. At the
end of the first hour of business the trading
months were to points over the close
Of last week. December rising to 20.31c.
The advance persisted until it amounted
to Is to % points, December standing at
90. 4Sc. Reports from the interior of a con-
talk of little new business being done in
finished goods caused the market to weaken
again late in the morning, and prices were
13 to II points under the close of last week.

Man Makes a Vain Effort to

Miss Dora Greiner. 20. a stenogra pher
employed by the Continental Fire Insur-
ance Company. felt some one tickle her
neck az a West Side express pulled in at
the Ninety-sixth street subway station
last night. and turning she saw a man
beside her smiling and speaking to her.
She couldn't hear what he was saying
because OF the noise IN the subway. but
n moment later the entire carful OF
homegoers knew that an angry young
woman was among rnem.
Don't you dare to talk to me" she
cried Get away 7"
At 1880 street the man leaped from
the train. Miss Grelner was at his
heels when he hurried up the platform,
and when he lodged into a second train
that pulled In directly after the one they
had left she was close behind him
Once the doors were closed she seized
the fellow and told him he was under ar
rest Men standing near her offered to
help, but she waved them aside.
IT can handle this sort by myself"
she told them. IF he tries to get away
he's going to get a beating"
And she held him until the train
reached 16sth street. There she dragged
him from the train and into the elevator
that took them to the street level. Po-
liceman Kilduff of the West 177th street
station relieved her of the prisoner and
locked him up. The man said he was

carry on the work thoroughly and he
answered that before the Wall street ex-

500. 900 as the sum needed. With that
amount, he said. he would be able to

REGISTRATION LESS
THAN Is EXPECTED
First Day in New York City
Only 1903, Against 1885,
1913 i'm 1919.

New York citys first day of registra-
ton did not nearly come up to the ex-
pectatlon of party managers. who ex-
pected that yesterday, the first oppcr-
tunity for prospective voters in the
Presidential election to qualify, would
show tremendous outpouring In
stead. the registration was light in every
borough. showing only slight increase
over the figures of last year, when tie
impetus of a national election was lack
ing. With only four election districts
missing, Manhattan had registered less
than 1000 in excess of last year on the
same day, despite a special effort that
was made to get out not only the
women but the men.
The same was true In Brooklyn. Re-
ports from all of the Assembly districts
in that borough had not been received
at Police Headquarters at o'clock this
morning. With nine Assembly districts
missing the total was 26,215. against
last years first days total of 52,274.
In the case of all the boroughs the reg
istration was decidedly above that of
1918, the last State election, for the first
day of registration. Then Manhattan
registered on the first day 39,6S0 and
Brooklyn 36,S71. Yesterday the Bronx
registered a total of 20,164, against
1882 last year on the first day and
12,112 on the first day two years ago.
