NEW ORLEANS COTTON

NEW ORLEANS, Aug. LATTER
near months around the opening to-
day the cotton market commenced to
do better because of the general tone
Of the annual statistical statement
from the New Orleans cotton eX-
change through it's secretary, II. G.
Hester Consumption was larger
than expected and the carryOver was
smaller than expected. Consumption
of American cotton by the world
for the year ending yesterday was
counted at 1851 900 bales against
12,S29,000 the preceding year. The
world carryover of American cotton
was put at only 2,573,000 bales
against 4,S79, 900 and was considered
the smallest on record since the
south became a producer of cotton
of first Importance.
Prices rose, following the initial
small depression, until they were 10
to IA points higher than yesterdays
close with October up to 20.64. Just
before 10 o'clock and the govern
ment's report on the condition of
the crop October stood at 20.52.
The percentage of condition of only
67.2 of normal, a deterioration for
the month of 2.7 points, was far
below expectations and caused a
turmoil of buying on which prices
mounted to the extent of about
$3.50 a bale in a few minutes of
trading. October 'bulged to 21.S3.
AZ this level the list was 131 to 1873
points higher than the close of yes
terday. At II o'clock October was
off to 21.58, under realizing by the
long interest.
Realizing by longs. set in, and
caused recessions of about so points
from the highest levels, but late in
the day further buying pressure was
felt and soon after 1870 o'clock
prices were higher than ever, 131
10 1873 points up with October at
21.S7.

TOOK HIS OWN LIFE

Louis Smeder, who last summer cut his throat with a razor and so far re covered from the rash deed that his friends sent him outside, finally ac complished his purpose.
 J. J. Keenan, with whom he was as sociated in the harbor dredging, re ceived telegram from L. J. Bryant the third associate in the venture stating that "Smeder finished the job
 After leaving Nome Smeder was taken to the Masonic hospital in Oak land and later transferred to the County hospital of Oakland.
 From former reports it was learned that Smeder was doing well, being on fair way to ultimate recovery. It is assumed that the right opportunity presented itself and Smeder acted under the impulse of the obsession controlling him. His friends are un able to assign the reason for his pc culiar mental twist which finally re- suited in his death.-Nome Nugget.

VALENTINE IS POPULAR
 WITH MIKADO JAPAN

Decoration of Emory Valentine, prominent local resident and widely known pioneer of the Territory, by the Mikado of Japan with the Order of the Rising Sun, fourth class, was made known recently when MT. Val entine received the decoration. He was advised of the decoration being given him early last December, but said nothing of it until the medal was received.
 In advising him of the honor be- slowed on him by the Japanese Elm peror, the Japanese Consul at San Francisco said it was for services rendered and kindness shown to Japanese subjects on many occasions in the Territory. This is the second Japanese medal that Mr. Valentine has received, the first being sent him by high officer during the Russo-Japanese war.
 He said he was highly pleased at receiving the decoration and the spirit in which it was bestowed. Ap- peciation, he added, is one of the most striking characteristics of the Japanese whom he has met aud among whom he counts some of his most loyal friends.
 The medal is very exquisite in de- sign and of the finest workmanship fine lines of gold being left between the wider bands of enamel The gold lines radiate in a circle from a deep blood-red hued stone, probably a garnet, in the center, being emble- matic of the rising sun, the name of the decoration. It is pendant from gold bar, enameled and bearing a peculiar design in green, purple and gold, and the whole is suspended On red and white silk ribbon in which is a rette similarly colored. The pin is for wear on formal oc- casions, small rosette, or button, in red and white silk being designed for wear at other times.
 The jewel case in which the medal reposes is itself work of highest art. It is of the noted Japanese lacquer work, into which is worked the same emblem appearing on the bar of the medal. On the top of the case are some Japanese char acters, which MT. Valentine was in formed by a local Japanese resident, form his name in the language of Nippon.
 The decoration, together with other medals and badges in his possession, are now on display in the show win dows at MT. Valentines store.-Ju- neau Empire.

REDUCED CONSUMPTION
 OF WHISKEY CUTS INTO
 REVENUE OF SCOTLAND

GLASGOW, Feb. 14.-The short age of whiskey drinkers in Britain is bringing Scotch distilleries to a stage where they may have to close down.
 An end has come to the great whiskey boom which has lasted in England and Scotland since the end of the war. Owing to a variety of circumstances, stocks of whiSkey were very much depleted, and in order to replenish their stocks dis tillers in the north of Scotland have been working at high pressure for four years.
 Coincident with this activity, which has brought stocks practically to a prewar level, the consumption of whiskey has steadily declined. owing to the lack of money in Great Brit ain and the high taxation, until to- day the consumption is less than half "HdI IL "d9 pelole eue War.
 Many Highland towns. such as Dufftown and Rothes, which are prac- tically dependent upon disti1ling, will be hard hit if the distilleries have to close down or go on drastic short time, while the farmers also will feel the effect in the lessened de- mand for barley.

Slim has spent all of

WOLF MENACE BE CONTROLLED

J. s. Lignon, predatory animal inspector of the Biological Survey, who has been in Southeastern Alaska for the past two and half months demonstrating the practicability "f wolf control, stated that while it is his first trip to the Territory and the conditions he met were new to him that the work has been very successful and that he has taken 17 wolves to date. He says he has not found the wolves difficult to trap by scientific methods and that par ties who went into the field with him have been taught such methods.

NEW RADIO STATION

B. A. J. Downer, engineer in charge of the Northern Commercial com pany's broadcasting station at Fair banks, tells of the achievement Of that station in communicating with the outside world, in the following communication to the Fairbanks News-Miner:

Living Costs Climb
During September,
u. S. Figures Show

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1.-THE
trend of wholesale prices, which has
been gradually downward since May,
took a decided upturn in September,
it was shown today in statistics com.
piled by the department of labor.
An advance of nearly 2 "a per cent
was indicated in compilation which
i. cluded AGA commodities.
Cloths and clothing with an adj
vance of IL per cent showed the
greatest increase, due mainly to the
marked advances in raw silk, print
cloths and cotton yarns, according
to the figures. Advances in corn
oats, rye, wheat, hogs, cotton, eggs
and hay caused the farm products
group to rise IL per cent. A net
increase of 1-2 per cent also was
shown for the food group because
of the continued advance in the price
of fresh beef and pork, butter,
cheese, eggs, flour, lard, corn meal
and sugar. A net increase of more
than per cent was shown in build.
ing material.
AS compared with a year ago,
measured by the same figures, the
general level Of prices were shown
to have risen slightly more than
one-half of one per cent. The de.
crease of nearly % per cent in fuel
and lighting during the II months
was offset by increases occurring in
all other commodity groups, rang
ing from one per cent in building
material to nearly 10 IL per cent
in cloths and clothing.

over Curtailnent
To Halt Industries
In Two Carolina;s

. CHARLOTTE, N; c., Oct. 1S.-A
drastic program of power curtai
ment, effective Monday and involv.
ing manufacturing enterprises in tho
Carolinas, was announced today at
headquarters here Of the Southern
Power company, conditioned on fail.
ure Of rainfall in the meantime I'd
refill reservoirs now nearlyl empty.
The conditional curtailment plan
devised by the company contem
plates shutting off power from lines
serving consumers in each of sew
eral zones on one day of each week
insuring a temporary operating
schedule Of five days weekly for all
plants.
The announcement said the com.
pany had deferred curtailing it's OUT
put Of power as long as possible.
Vice President Burkholder said
nothing less than a water famine
exists over the water shed draining
into the Catawba river" and the
reserve of water in the great Bridge,
water reservoir has been depleted in
an effort to maintain the rivers
flow throughout the continuing
shortage.
Continued drawing on the Bridge
water reserves would imperil the en-.
tire supply of power the company
is furnishing many large plants in
the Carolinas, should the drouth
continue" the announcement said.
A similar program Of curtailment
became necessary last fall when a
less serious condition existed" Mr..
Burkholder pointed out.
