NEW ORLEANS COTTON Ry AssOcint ed Press

New Orleans, October 5.-The opening was lower in the cotton mar ket today and the decline persisted throughout the session, lowest prices coming late in the day when the trad ing months were so to 90 points un- der the last prices of yesterday. On the close the decline amounted to l3 to S5 points. December traded as low as 19.10c and closed at 1s.1Sc. Little ability to recover from the decline was in evidence at any time and the strongest period following the first furry of selling when, after declines of about 50 to 50 points, there was recovery back to within 16 to 2S points of yesterdays close.
 The lower opening was in sympa- thy with poor Liverpool, but the market soon had to face a great deal of hedge selling, and. finally liquidation of long contracts on much larger scale than most brok- CTS thought possible after all the liouidation of the earlier sessions or the week As the decline progressed bearish traders became aggressive and their selling was the main factor in the late trading.
 Claims of more liberal offerings or spots in some sections of the belt, renorts of fresh political troubles in India, and rather better weekly re- ports on the crop from the govern ment than expected combined ito keep the decline going.

ALL GRAINS DIP ID NEW LOW RECORDS
 ON VISIBLE SUPPLY
Provisions Did Not Hold, But Were In Full Sympathy With Grain, In Spite of
 Hog Advance
By Associated Press

Chicago. october 5.-All deliveries of wheat, corn, oats and rye swept downward today to a new low price record for 1921. Large visible sup ply totals proved to be heavy han dicap on values. Wheat closed weak at 315 @4c net lower. with December s1.111s @1. .11%,. and May s1.16@ LICK. Corn lost 1s@Ac and oats F e 7sc. In provisions the outcome was unchanged to 15c down.
 General liquidation took place in the wheat trade, and at the finish the market was at the bottom level of of the day, ss4 @9Ac off com pared with yesterdays figures. Bears put special stress on the big stocks at Kansas City and on the possibility of shipments being made from there to Chicago. Besides loadings were said to have increased in the north west and 8 larger movement of the spring crop within 8 few days was predicted Meanwhile, despite the se- verity with which prices were break ing no European demand of impor- tance developed except for such wheat as could be obtained advan- tageously from Canada. Rallies took place at times as result of cover ing by shorts, but no real strength was apparent, and the upturns failed to last.
 Declines in the price of corn and oats were. largely due to the action of wheat. The descent of corn was somewhat checked by improvement of shipping and industrial call.
 Provisions weakened in sympathy with grain notwithstanding an up- turn in the value of hogs.

Air Full of Rumors About Cotton Outlook
 With Stock Dullness
By BRIGGS

New York, October 5.-(Specia1.)- )-- The air has been full of rumors of all sorts today about cotton, ranging from reports Of an easier basis and more pressure to sell spots in the south to a revolt of the part of the British army in India. Reliable spot advices, however, have for the most part firmly denied any weakness and certainly nothing has been heard here as to the British army having flown off the handle in any such manner As a matter of fact, the decline seems to have had its origin in conditions confined very largely to the futures markets themselves. where the trade demand has not yet gained enough momentum to fully take care of these bursts of selling which, however. if not followed by more liberal offerings in the form of hedges will bring their own retribu- tion when attempts are made to se- cure profits on short commitments. We prefer the policy of conservative purchases on these dips.
 Intense dullness prevailed in stocks during most of today's session. In the last hour, however. quite a little spurt of selling developed, the Mexi-' can oils being the chief point of at tack and yielding quite readily. This selling Is believed to represent for the most part professional speculative commitments. and although declines were severe, can hardly be regarded as especially significant. A
 The news is meagre. Call money after renewing at 5 per cent dropped later to 4h per cent and finally to per cent Sterling exchange ad- vanced. Some further improvement was reported in copper metal. The demand Is increasing with prices in- clined to stiffen. The crude rubber market also was active and strong
 Although no announcement was forthcoming at the close of the Le- high Valley directors meeting, it was reported from outside sources that the segregation plan will shortly be filed with the court probably on Fri- day.
 Altogether it has been rather a stupid day in the street. Sales. 579- 100
 After taking the great load of domestic wheat, the bulk of the win ter wheat crop and at least 50 per cent of the spring wheat crop with out showing signs of distress, it re- mained for the Canadian movement to crack our market, the last straw which broke the camel's back. After the present panic subsidies we believe that actual conditions will become apparent.-Hurlburd, Warren 2 Chandler.

The sophomores brought their week to close with an informal reception to the freshmen Saturday night. De- spite the fact that both classes de- rived much pleasure from this, the poor rats" were glad to crawl back to their holes and be rulers there, rather than to continue submitting ro the domination of the sophomores.
 The Judson Sunday school was or ganized Sunday morning with E. L. Powers as superintendent. The entire student body being enrolled. large classes were organized in the conven- ton normal manual. Winning to Christ" and Doctrines of Our Faith, ' while some are studying the Sunday school quarterly. We count it priv ilege to have on our staff of et- ficient teachers Mrs. D. C. McCollum, now matron of the college, who has spent so many years as missionary to Japan.
 Teachers and student body alike were happy to welcome as visitors during tbe past week Miss Wesley Black sher of Mobile, a graduate oi last year from the home economies department, and Miss Sara Erwin oi Camden, another old Judson girl.

 road it pleases us not to know exactly where we are going, or when we shall get there. A destination Is more Troublesome than much lug gage. If we have one folded up With our blankets, we find 1t necessary to forego many pleasant chat by the wayside. Therefore we usually leave our destination at home with our best clothes. They belong to- gether!
 Another joy of the road is not knowing what acquaintances we shall make. or how we shall make them. Getting acquainted with people is a dullard's adventure if you know about them ahead. of time. Bluff you must learn the meaning of human being from the boise of the head, the flash of the eye, the locking Of the jaws. the behavior of the fingers, and from the individual life commun1canie and vet inexplicable. which animates all of these, then meeting Is an inviting hazard. With letters of In troduction we may meet MT. and Mrs. John Brown Jones Smith. Without them We may find Socrates ir a gen eral store at the cross roads. Le Pen seur on a lonely hill, and Thersites and St. Francis tramping side by side along a dusty road; we may even have the good fourtune to hear Confucius talking to his disciples of poetry, history, and the up-keep of courtesy.
 We enjoy the complex simplicities of pioneering In the hearts and minds of our kind. People who seem quite commonplace to themselves and to their neighbors shine for us with q light well known before there were candles, the ancient light of TO- nance For us they wear the plumes of knights. the caps of goblins. the haIoes of saints, the garlands or deIectable sinners. without ever knowing that they are clad in more than serge and gingham.

COTTON BREAKS S4 PER BALE UNDER MORE LIQUIDATION
General Market Closed Bare Iy Steady at a Net Decline of Seventy to Eighty-four
 Points on the Day
By Associated Press

New York, october 5,-There vas a break of about s4 bale In the cotton market here today under heavy general liquidation and scat tered selling, which appeared to be inspired by belief that bullish crop prospects had been discounted. De- cemoer contracts sold off to 19.52c, or S3 points below last nights clos ing quotation, and 243 points below the high price touched Just before the publication of the crop figures on Monday morning. December closed at 19.56c, compared with 20.35c at the close the previous day, with the gen eral market closing barely steady at net decline of 70 to S4 points.
 Liverpool cables were lower than due and after opening barely steady at a decline of ' to '31 points the market here became very weak under liquidation, local, Wall street and further selling. Stop orders were un covered when prices broke below 20c for December. and after their eXecu-
 m there were rallies of 25 to 30 points 4io4l .,lS io,,0st on trade buy ing and covering. The demand proved comparatively small and the market weakened again in the late trading under a renewal of more or less gen eral pressure, which was accompa- nied by reports that trade buying or- ders were being withdrawn. October sold off to 19.4Sc and January to 19.20c. or 75 to S4 points net lower and the close was at the lowest fig ures of the day.
 Spots Were Easier
 There were reports early of an easier spot basis in the southwest, but they were not confirmed by later advices and there was nothing in the goods trade news that attracted bearish comment. Local brokers re- ported a feeling of uncertainty as to whether the market could absorb an increasing movement above the 200 level, however, and there was a very reactionary or strong bearish senti- ment in evidence during the day.
 The weekly weather report was without any apparent influence. Re- port that the Welch coal miners had agreed to arbitrate the subsidy dis pute may have caused some covering early, but there was a good deal or unfavorabie comment on the German financial position in connection with the general business outlook.

HUBBARD,s LETTER

New York, October 5.-(SpeciaI,)-- Further liquidation by disappointed longs both in Liverpool and New York caused an easier market today. On the decline there was good buy ing by brokers usually operating for Japanese interests.
 It was also reported that some 13- 600 bales were already booked for shipment out of the local stock for Japan. Sentiment is now quite agains the market on the theory that the mills are well covered until Christmas, and will not be in the market as buyers for the next few weeks.
