by the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, October 1.-THE cot
ton market showed renewed firmness
during today's early trading, owing
to relatively firm cables, apprehen-
sions of unsettled weather in the
southwest over tomorrow's adjourn
ment, and bullish spot advices. The
opening was 90 to 80 points higher
on all months except September,
which was unchanged. December ad-
vanced to cS.24 and January to 27.70
or about 80 to "a points above yester-
DAYS closing quotations. good deal
of the buying was attributed to cover
Ing. but further trade demand was
also reported. and advices reaching
here from the south said there was a
good demand for spot cotton.
New Orleans Prices Advance.
NEW ORLEANS, October 1.-Gen-
eral buying entered the cotton market
today and in the first half hour of the
session it lifted prices 80 to "a points
to 27.S0 for December. Cables were
better than due, the scattered showers
over Texas were regarded unfavorably
and uneasiness was felt concerning
the storm area central over extreme
west Texas. Considerable covering
by shorts was done, apparently be-
cause of the holiday tomorrow and
fear that the weather over it might
be unfayorable.

Conscience That Works.
g London (ont.l Advertiser.

From the London (Ont.) Advertiser.
The Dominion Transport Company
of Montreal has received three let
ters from the same person, two of
which contained 81 and the last $40.
with the explanation that the money
belonged to the company and could
be cIassed as conscience money.
These people who send in conscience
money would be worth meeting.
There is something substantially
worthwhile about them as there is in
every man who -can claim possession
OF a conscience that still functions
according to original specifications.
A mental equipment that causes a
man to retrace his steps in order to
undo an act that was wrong is well
worth having. There are too many
scared coflsciences that glory In the
fact that they put one over on the
company.
May this troubled conscience idea
increase in severity and in the scope
of its action.

WOOL TO SUIT IN A DAY.
Shearing and Making of Clothes
Occupy Period of IA Hours.

In numerous industries there have
been conspicuous examples of what can
be. accomplished in the way of speed
when human energy as well as me-
chanical appliances are put to the test
against time.
For example, an English baronet once
wagered that he would dine at z o'clock
in a suit of clothes made from wool
which had been growing on the sleeps
at S o'clock in the morning with the
washing of sufficient sheep to provide
the wool. From neighboring factory
the wool was returned Us cloth late in
the afternoon, but early enough to per-
NIT of tailor and his assistants COM

paratory to sitting down to his evening
meal.

Humiliation Either Way.

From the New York Commercial.
If an American ambassador to any
of the great nations should attempt
to live within the income provided
for him by Congress and keep his
expenses within the appropriation SO
niggardly provided, 1T would be a
source of constant humiliation to
Americans abroad and to the gov
ernment at home and beyond all
doubt it would lessen American pres
tige to be so shabbily represented.
Our Presidents have realized this
for a long time, and to overcome 1t
have been compelled to appoint men
of large wealth to such positions,
who were willing to invest whatever
additional sums were needed out OF
their own personal funds to adequate
ly represent the nation in exchange
for the honor conferred upon them. 1t
is a question as to which is the great
er humiliation, to be classed among
the shabby genteel. or for great and
rich nation to be saved from the eff
fects of its own penuriousness. by the
contributions of wealthy men.

It Was a Jar to Hubby.

From the Boston Transcript.
A. young husband criticized the
biscuits his bride served him for
breakfast, employing the usual stere-
otyped comparison. Instead of weep
ing, as some brides would. she got
busy and as result of her work
she set before him the next morn
ing a plate of hot biscuits alleged
to be the real thing.
Now you've got it," he exclaimed
delightedly as he sampled the new
lot. These are exactly like mother
used to make. How did you happen
to hit upon the recipe?
"It's no great secret. said his wife
with glittering eyes. 81 put in oleo
instead of butter, used cold storage
eggs, dropped a bit of alum in the
flour and adulterated the milk. Re-
member, sweetheart. that mother
lived before the enactment of the
pure food law"

BONDS co HIGHER
Anaconda Issues Again
Weak-Tractions Hold
Gains.
BY GEORGE It. HUGHES.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK. October 1.-THE most
encouraging feature of today's trad
ing in bouds was the reports of sue
cess in the placing of new, issues.
Both investment bankers and dealers
expressed satisfaction at the outlook.
Speculation continues at low ebb, but
investment interest in prime bonds
appears to be on the Increase. The
Improvement is more apparent in
trading ''oyer the counter" than on
the stock exchange.
Anaconda bonds Lower.
Today's dealings in listed bonds
were more or less affected by reports
OF trade conditions For instance.
the Anaconda Copper rs receded frac-
tlonaliy In sympathy with the same
influence which brought about the
decline in the stock.
The mortgage secured IS were much
more steady Speculation centers in
the as because not only of the higher
yield, but because of the conversion
privilege. The loss. however. even
IN the case of the Is was very small.
Nor were American Smelling and Re-
fining- 5s and 6s affected. both being
sound investment issues and selling
on a ha to per cent basis. The

fractions Hold Gains.
Traction securities held their gains
of yesterday very well. There was
especially heavy trading in Hudson
and Manhattan income 5s. Among
the speculative rails Denver and Rio
Grande refunding 5s were conspicu-
ously bought at advancing prices.
Seaboard Air Line issues were
steady around yesterdays levels
The failure of the directors of the
Southern railway to act on divi-
dend on the common stock was not
helpful to the more speculative rail-
way bonds. indicating less confidence
in the future than was shown by the
Baltimore and Ohio directors. Both
the New Haven and the st. Paul is
sues were heavy. Erie bonds were
reasonably steady
Government Loans Higher.
United States government loans
showed a tendency to advance and
the high-grade rails and industrials
were inactive but firm. There was no
evidence In the bond market of any
prospective increase in money rates.
Foreign bonds were little changed
Present prices seem to have balanced
present yields against the obvious
risks.
