s. R. STEWART S CO.'S LETTER

birmingham, August 9.-LiverpooI again
 ane Satnr. over aiseppointing this morning, the light sales of 5000 bales at a decline of 4s
 points in their middlings. Cables stated
 snan demand for yarns and general busf-
 ness dull. Futures rallied sharply how ever, over there after our opening ana heavy buying orders that came from this
 side Our opening did not respond to tho Liverpool decline, opening practically un- changed. working itself 40 to 50 points higher on minus correction of 30 900
 bales in the New York local stock and the failure or the government records to con tlrm the heavy rains reported in Texas where needed yesterday, along with cone
 tinued deterioration reports from that state. The rally met further liquidation forcing October New York to 200 and New Orleans to 19.60c. to points under yes- terday's lows. As no stop orders and plenty of buying were found at this price the market turned and rallied sharply again. This advance was described as q natural one that can easily go a full cent l II any news come along to disturb the shorts. Fourteen stations in central anpl ] east Texas had mostly light showers while
 in the central and eastern states there was considerable rain. The forecast for Texas was fair. The weekly summary from Washington averaged unfavorable for the crop. The market remains in position
 to respond sharply to any unfavorable crop

 Indications are that semi-monthly prf- vate crop condition reports due in the near future will show considerable deteriorai ton. perhaps indicate a smaller crop than they pointed to two weeks ago owing to the drouth in the southwest and damage by insects. especially in the central and eastern portions of the belt.

Blocks Railroad Sale

Washington, August y.-Because the New Orleans, Texas and Mexico railroad proposed to pay s925, ,000 for 25,000 in par value stock, which constitutes control of the Dayton Goose Creek railway in Texas, the interstate commerce commission to- day refused to authorize the trans action. The price proposed for the Dayton line. the commission said, was greatly in excess of the phy- sical valuation of it's property" and while the larger railroad expected traffic advantage, the deal was held to be disadvantageous to general transportation interests.

STOCK MARKET WAS DULL WITH
 UNDERTONE GOOD
By Associated Press

New York, August s.-Confused price movement took place in today's relatively dull stock market session but the undertone continued strong and most important price changes were within narrow limits.
 General uncertainty regarding the railroad strike situation was more than offset by the governments re- port of bumper crop conditions. Grangers which will benefit by this increased crop movement closed gen erally at gains of l to nearly ? points, after an early display of weakness.
 Cuban sugar stocks were reac- tionary as a result of the Senate's rixing the tariff on Cuban sugar at 1.S4 cents pound but American beet sugar, which will benefit by the increased rate, was up 2A points.
 Motor and shipping shares were again under pressure today, Chandler and Studebaker dropping nearly point with International Merchantsle Marine preferred, Atlantic Gulf and West Indies and American Interna- tional corporation.
 feathers and shoes were in good demand in response to improved trade conditions.
 Total sales were 575, 900 shares. i. Call money opened at 3 F per cent but hardened to 4 and then to # when banks began calling loans, CO., incident with heavy withdrawals Of government deposits. Some small lots were loaned out on call as high as , per cent Time money was scarce with no important changes in rates.
 Business in foreign exchange was restricted because of cable conges- ton due to the cutting of 9 of the 12 cables ,by Irish insurgent forces. Sterling held steady but French and Belgian francs were down about 10 points. German marks also were re- actionary and other continental re- mittances were irregular.

to find a plan in which these rooms
are so well-arranged for privacy

pleasantness, as they are here. Be-
ing at the back of the house, they
are undisturbed by the noise of the

occupy the entire front OF the house,
connected by French doors. Both
are light, pleasant rooms. Space Is
provided for the china, silver and
linens in the dining room by corner
cupboards of attractive design. The
kitchen is located centrally, just to
the rear of the dining room, but in

Baeing their figures on general
price averages rather than specific
costs in any one community, the
Curtis Service Bureau, Clinton, Ia,
designers of this house, say the cost
would be in the neighborhood OF
$S3OOO. This price would include
wiring, plumbing and heating. Prob
ably local estimates would not be
far from this figure.
One of the chief things to consid-
err if you wish to build economically,
is the size of the house. 1t is just
as uneconomical to build toe small
a home, as too large. 1t involves
probable remodeling later-which is
often rather unsatisfactory, as well
as relatively more expensive-and II
also involves irritating and inconve-
nient crowding before the re-
modelling is finally done. 1t is best TO
plan for probable future needs, If
possible, without involving a burden
of unused space in the meantime.
The home pictured here solves the
problem admirably. The two bed
rooms upstairs need not be finished
off at first, and you would still have
a complete, and desirable, ive-room
home on the first floor. This makes
it an excellent plan for those who
expect 10 build but once, and there
fore want a home hat is not too
large for now, but which will fill
their needs for many years to come.

YANKEE MASCOT MANAGES SMILE ON
 TEAMS DEFEAT

NEW YORK, Nov. Tt takes a brave man, or boy, to smile when the heart is sad. Eddie Bennett, the crippled mascot of the New York Yankees, is entitled to the crown of bravery.
 After the final game of the worlds series, when the Yankees, out played, out-gamed and out-witted, had struggled of fthe field, Eddie, dragging sweater belonging to Bullet" Joe Bush, was trailing dis consolately to the clubhouse. He was the only representative of the beaten Hugmen in sight of the throng that still fingered in the stands and on the playing field. Ed die was feeling mighty blue, for the heroes he had chaperoned throughout the long summer had failed and the cheers had all been for the "other gang"
 As he was the only representative of the defeated team in sight, the crowd picked on little Eddie and began to taunt him for the Yankee debacle. Only a tightening of the jaw marked how deep the taunts cut Eddies loyal heart. He contin- ued his mournful march to the club house.
 Just as he was ready to pass from the field Eddie achieved hero ism. He turned and faced the crowd. A smile, albeit a sardonic one, twisted his lips. He doffed his

FRISCO MAKES PLANS
 NEXT YEARS TEAM

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. l. - Chiefs of the San Francisco Baseball Club, which won the Pacific Coast League pennant this year, intend to give the fans as strong team next year as they had this year, Jack Miller, manager of the Seals, declared recently.
 San Francisco is the greatest mi nor league city in the land and, as such, deserves the greatest Inlnor league baseball team," Miller said. q am making no predictions for 1923, but I can promise that the club will be a pennant contender If it is within the power of the, own CTS and myself to do so."
 Miller left recently for his home in Kearny, N. J., after having won the pennant during his first year as manager in the Coast League. He came west last March for his first year in minor league baseball.
 Two San Francisco stars, Willie Kamm and Jimmy O'Connell, go up to the majors next year for the highest prices ever paid for minor league players. Kamm was sold to the Chicago White SoX for $100,0O0 and O'Connell to the New York Giants, champions of the world, for $75,OOO In their places, however San Francisco will have two young sters, Gene Valla and Hal Rhyme, both of whom show great promise.
 The pennant was the first won by San Francisco since 1917 and the first championship to be captured by the club under the ownership of Dr. c. H. Strub, Charles H. Graham, George A. Putnam and Tom Ste- phens.
