COTTON MARKET AT NEW
ORLEANS SHOWS DECLINE
Prices CIoac at Srt Loss OF From
100 tO 200 Points over Previous


NEW ORLEANS. Oct. 3.-The trend
Of prices in the cotton market last
week was strongly downward under
the weight OF the new crop. the alb
scncc o. spot demand and the gen
orally unsatisfactory financial coud!-
ton, which. according TO all accounts.
have prevented the interior from OBJ
tanning funds in SUFFICIENT amount to
hold cotton OF tho market.
There were sessions when the spot
department; led ut the decline. and on
one session spot prices in the Interior
were marked down from 100 TO 800
points. In the local SPOT department
prices lost 300 points on the week
on middling,. which closed n, 1900.
The net tesults OF the weeks trading
In the contract market were losses
OF from l0l to 297 points. October
closing At 2O.s0.
May. the most active distant month.
closed at 20.0l.
AT the lowest levels OF the week
prices were i94 to 347 points under
tho close OF the preceding week with
October at 20.70 and May at 1903.
The market turned very irregular
after tho middle OF tho week. with
the result that differences between
months were greatly narrowed. Al
no time during the week were prices
above the close OF the preceding week.
except on May. which nt ono time
was at net advantage OF five points.

When scorching August sears his skin
He smiles as lie remembers
Tho many happy skating days
or various Dcccmbcrs.
When freezing weather chills his blood
He keeps his joy in tune
BY pluckinG flowers in memory
or some indulgent June.
When trouble hammers mt his door,
Refusing to be sad
He treasures recollections Of
The times when he was glad.
And so he rides the flooding tide

And when the crows ny cawing by
He hears the thrushes sing.
And this would be n happy world,
IL every one could sec
The things that are, not rs they are,
But as he'd have them De.

the soundest patriotism on the part OF the
American worker found expression. The
federation gave a definite and conclusive
answer TO the anarchistc appeals OF radi-
cal labor movements abroad and took its
place once moro squarely on the side of
orderly government.
The statement OF the American fedora
ton declares itself opposed to the attitude
OF British radicalsm, which is preaching a
doctrine dangerous to civilization itself.
Labor in this country, il is announced is
not seeking 10 revolutioniZe the govern
mcuts OF the world; it is not arraying itself
az inst all wars; it is not in sympathy with
communism, and will not lend its power and
influence to the movement for sovietizing
the nations OF the earth.

seized certain great labor bodies abroad tho
American federation is adherng to it's
traditional policy OF conservatism 1t de-
claros that it is opposed to autocratic power
here or elsewhere, hut ii recognizes no autoc-
racy III the American government and
knows of no wrongs imposed upon labor in
America that cannot be righted without in
dustrial revolution and without resort to
force and violence.
While this attitude on the part OF the
more substantial element OF American labor
has been we'll known. IT ia rcassuring ia
have new declaration If faith from such
a source. And '+is' declaration constitutes
another challenge 10 the radicalism which
has sought and IS still seeking TO dominate
the federation; 10 seize the power which
that great body possesses and TO fomcnt
revolution in the ranks OF an army which
in the past has stood loyalty by the country
whether in peace or in war.
This country occasionally yields to alarms
over inc prospect OF an uprising on the part
of labor that will wreck or threaten the
industrial structure OF the nation. Every
little while group of terrorists and incen
diaries makes demonstration which looks
ominous and causes widespread apprcber
