COTTON ADVANCES:
 RECEIPTS BIG HERE

Pursuing an cratic course similar to that of yesterday, only in the re- verse directions, the cotton market, after slumping on the opening and remaining under yesterdays final figures until the last hour of trad ing, jumped 100 points higher short ly before the close, which was at net gains of 40 points or more.
 December New York contracts closed at 2,60 cents, a net gain of 40 points, while January was 35 points net higher, closing at PHO cents. In New Orleans December closed at 20 90 cents, and January at 20.48 cents, both 39 points net higher New York spots were 45 points higher at 22.6O cents, while New Orleans, while fail ing to follow yesterdays decline, were marked 72 points lower at 21 cents.
 Receipts late yesterday and this forenoon were the heaviest Conway has seen this season. It was stated, how ever, that more cotton was sold here today from White and Van Buren counties and other sections outside than came from Conway's regular trade territory. The markets at 1 Searcy, Beebe and other nearby points are said to be paying several cents a pound less for cotton than at Con. way and in some cases declining to buy at all. Prices here today rang ed from 21 1-2 cents to 23 1-2 cents, with the majority of sales being around p IA cents.
 The price of cottonseed was ad- vanced here this morning to $25 per ton and has been steady at that fig ure throughout the day.

FUNERAL SAID
 OVER REMAINS OF MACSW|NEY
(By United Press)

London, Oct 28-British govern mental activities to forestall the threatened strike of coal miners ceased temporarily today while solemn funer- al rites were being said over the body of Lord Mayor Terence MacSwiney of Cork
 Sombre thousands, including many representatives of Irish societies and Sim Fein leaders, knelt in St. Georges Cathedral while the archbishop and his assistants performed the last ritual over the remains.
 There was no disturbance during the service at the cathedral. Two soldiers of the British empire, wearing long overcoats to attract less attention to their uniforms, stood guard beside the casket. They also followed the pro- cession to the eastern station for re- moval to Ireland. The procession to- day was looked upon as the greatest Irish demonstration ever staged on British soil
 Lord Mayor MacSwiney's body will be taken to Ireland tonight

CURRENT STOPPED.

Electric current to Conway consum- CTS was interrupted for short time about 6 o'clock last night when water foaming in a boiler reached one of the engines and necessitated a shut down for a few minutes. Supt. K. V. Leverett said the damage was quickly repaired and the service restored. Although only a few citizens were aware of break, a second one oc- cured at the municipal station this morning when fuse blew out, Ser vice was renewed quickly MT Lev erett said that the new unit installed at the plant made it amply large enough to carry it's load at all times, and with only the average chance of a break in service.
