OCTOBER COTTON
 WAS CONTEND|NG
 FACTOR YESTERDAY
General Staple List Closed Firm at a Net Advance Of Thlrty-three to Hundred
 Twenty eight Points
By Associnfcd Press

New York. September 27.--Compe- tition for the cotton to be delivered on October contracts led to an ex- cited advance in the market here to- day October sold up to 21 2Oc, or 145 points above the closing quota ton of yesterday and t75 points above the low level of the morning, That delivery closed at 2103c, with the general market closing firm at q net advance of 33 to 12S points 1t wa sthe first notice day for October, and more notices were reported in circulation than anticipated as they rourcsented about S2,0O0 bales
 he market opened steady at a de- cline ot s to 20 points, with October showing the maximum loss, but an unexpected active demand for the cotton quickly developed, and prices almost immediately advanced The hu, in,s of October in the face of the heavy notices was believed to mean that strong foreign and domestic in forests were competing for the cot ton, and 1t was rumored that houses with Japanese connections had stopped notices representing no less than 50,000 bales.
 Notices Are Stopped
 Notices were also stopped by firms who were supposed to be operating for Liverpool and some of the houses that had issued notices were reported active buyers of October around the ring. These indications of an ac- tive demand for the local stock en- couraged buying of later deliveries and general business showed de- cided increase on the advance which extenGed from 19.9Oc to 2l. 23c for December and from 19.97c to 21 .0Sc for January contracts. Active months generally sold 60 to l45 points above last nights closing quotation, but eased off few points from the best at the close under rea.i@:nr, Buying on the strength Of the october position was promoted by lower private crop figures, rcfter- ated reports of an improved trade in Manchester and a feeling that do- mestic goods buyers were becoming reccnciled to higher prices. TWO pri.ate crop reports were issued both of them making the condiuo 40 per cert of normal, and pointing to a yielo of about 6,160,000 bales.

New York, September z''-l @uii7 is dull today and prices slightly re actionary. Money is somewhat hlgher' The market is steady enough now ever, and seems to be absorbing some profit taking, based on the recent i'm provement. The news from Washlhe- ton may also cause a tendency to go slow, as with all the Important mat ters pending, it is once more opVlous that it is difficult to accomplish re suits in the Senate under the existing rules.
 The Cuban Cane company has put out it's statement for the necessary new money. 1t proposes to the depeh- ture holders that they receive per cent on their bonds, and in consider alton therefor allow the new money to be raised to have preferential claim on the company. Otherwise IL is almost impossible to raise the needed funds and so avoid re ceivership

New York, September 27.-(Special, Bulls seem to have stood very well the endurance test of heavy tend CTS of cotton today and it now re- mains to be seen how well bears will stand their test when the condition figures are given out next week if those exceed expectations as much as traders did today.
 Traders are somewhat at loss as to who stopped the notices but it is certain that they disappeared too quickly to have any influence on prices, suggesting that there was nc lack of those who understood that cotton of the quality of the local stock could not be bought so cheaply anywhere else in the world except here.
 At all events, October closed up rap idly on the later months. though the " hole market was strong with little offering, except scattered realizing in the way of transfers Late in the day it was rumored that leading .Japanese interests make the condi- ton only 37 as against 51 last month. but this was not confirmed. Trade interests here were again large buy CTS in the late trading, reflectlng their feeling regarding the effect of notices,--Post & Flagg.
 
 AFTERNOON COTTON LETTER
 New Orleans, September 27.-(Spe- ciaI. I.)-Heavy tenders in New York lowered values a little at the start today but as soon as the public found that it did not break the market wave of buying that set in kept values on the upward movement most of the day. It appears almost as if the public has been waiting Tor this opportunity to buy 1t and Just as soon as the uncertainty was re- moved the tide of buying set in. After prices had climbed nearly houdred points hedge selling and realizing caused values to ease orr q little but another wave of buying developed as soon as this selling let up.
 Two low crop estimates indicting a condition of 40 and yield or o,lVu,- GOO and 6160.000 reports or large business at Manchester, advance or two pence in silver and assertion pS prominent authority that Man chester was on the eve of greap revival in trade kept up bullish en- thusfasm and encouraged the buying. Reports that spots were following December closely and were selllhS 100 points up was another stlmulat- inc factor. Our estimate of the crop condition was 40 and yield 6,l6o,oO0.
 Reports from the interior or scramble for spots with some places getting 21 cents and others even higher sustained interest Tn the maj ket during the afternoon. Spot in- terests showed less disposition to sell on the bulges and it is possipte that there will not be much selllns from this source until after the bureau.=Fenner & Beane.

SAVE CARSON
 PERSECUTION

MACCLESFIELD, Eng. Jan. 1t- The Irish Nationalist leaders, John Dillon and John Redmond. saved Sir Edward Carson, Unionist advocate, from prosecution for preaching rebel lion in Ulster in 1914, says Charles F. U. Masterman, who was then Finan- c;al Secretary to the Treasury.
 Mir. Masterman in addressing an audience here blamed Sir Edward for beginning the resistance to the crown which led up to the present situation in Ireland. One of his hearers asked why the Ulster leader was not then prosecuted and MT. Mastermsn re- piled:
 "The cabinet was ready to do SO but John Redmond and John Dillon, acting through MT. Lloyd George, per- suaded the cabinet not to take the step. They argued that in three months time the Home Rule Bill would be- come law, and they would then be re- sponsible for the government of Ire land. They asked that they should be allowed to undertake the government of Ireland without being hampered by my feeling created beforehand by the prosecution of Sir Edward Carson. They thought they could what they regarded as the plague (humbug) of the Ulster movement.
 "They may have been right or wrong," concluded the speaker, "bpt the war broke out before the test came.F
