NEW RECORD HERE
Thermometer Registers Lowest Mark
X sown for September.

Pensacola experienced her first cold
of the approaching winter Wednesday
night and yesterday in the cold wave
lowing the rain and wind storm.
Coming so closely on September's
warm days, the sudden cold change
took many people unawares and last
winters oyercoats and furs made a
second debut. The sharp winds gave
an added impetus to fall buying in
the stores and recalled 20 "a number
of people delayed ordering of coal and
wood.
The fire department received more
than the usual number of calls as a
result of the wind and cold. The ne
glect to have chimney flues cleaned
out in accordance with the recent
warning given by the fire department
was the cause Of small fires in a num-
Der of homes.
The temperature yesterday, 40 de-
grees, was the lowest recorded in the
history of Pensacola for the month of
September.
Teachers and pupils of the various
schools felt more as if their winters
work had begun in earnest, while
the lower temperature put added pep
in the afternoon practices of the foot
ball teams.

ton mills at Oldham, England, which
have been closed for some time be-
cause of labor troubles, would resume
operations next Tuesday. while there
also were reports of an improved in
curry in the Manchester goods mar
ket from India and China. The early
demand was soon supplied, however,
and the market turned easier during
the middle of the day under continued

of local pressure The latter was en-
couraged by the absence of any ag-
gressive support, Notwithstanding the
heavy rains reported in eastern belt
sections and the low temperatures in
Oklahoma, and the selling became
more active during the early after
