BIRMINGHAM, Ala Oct. 16.-Liver- pool quotations came over somewhat dis appointing this morning. Futures were points below due, with light sales of 5000 bales and at decline of points in their spot prices. Manchester cables failed to show any improvement in yarns and cloth markets and trade failing to take hold of cotton in large volumes. Our markets opened 10 points lower than Mondays close and ruled barely steady. with a downward tendency most of the days ses- sion. Lower prices were due principally to weaker cables and lower stock mar ket. While weather forecasts were not as bad as expected, there was some buying of good character on heavy rains west The finals were 30 points decline for the day. Spots were fairly active and gener- ally quoted unchanged to 26 lower, prices s915c. at Galveston, with heavy sales re- ported fro mthe Texas points. Dallas wired the best basis of the season was being paid for spots and the basis was also higher in the Carolinas, with ship pers finding it difficult to fill commit ments for good grades.

HUBBARD BROS. & CO.'S LETTER


 NEW YORK, Oct. 16.-(special. )-Liv- erpool was easier this morning on the idea that mills had sufficient cotton at least temporarily to meet their requirements. However. our market opened better than expected in view of the low barometer that was over the New Orleans district and the reported storm that was headed northwestward in the gulf.
 The selling that did occur in the market this morning was very well taken. How ever, the mills are hesitating about fol. lowing this advance for they contend that regardless of price they cannot sell their goods. Another factor that caused ths market to be somewhat easier today was the fact that there was a report of a little better weather in the west, Should the storm develop or bring further rain, undoubtedly prices will advance sharply. We are in receipt of a telegram from Atlanta saying that all offerings of mid ding cotton have been withdrawn from the market. Outside of temporary set backs. we feel that the market will work higher.
 Futures in Liverpool are due tomorrow: January 15.9sd; March, 15.72d.-Hubbard Bros. & Co.

The pageant entitled ''The Trium-
phal Entry" written b. DIR. Jason

scented tonight at s o'clock at the

PORTRAYS BIBLICAL SCENES.
The pageant is divided into six
episodes. The scene of the first
episode, entitled ga. .Wonlan's
Heart" is laid in the. home OF
Lazarus. in Bethany, at midnight
eftar the feast in Simon's house.
The incidents in Simon's house
Jesus are recalled, and Mary's intuf-
danger.
The scene OF the second episode,
entitled :The Dissemination" In q
highway on Palm Sunday morning,
and shows how and when Christ
determined upon the Triumphal
Entry.
..Getting the Colt" is the title OF
the third episode, which takes place
In the yard of the owner Of the
colt, on Palm Sunday, and answers
the question, did the owner of the
colt, on which Christ rode in the
Trtumpha1 Procession, know Jesus?
DEPICTS ENTRY.
Episode four is called 'The Entry
into Jerusalem" the scene Of which
"a on a highway outside OF the city
on Palm Sunday. It wildly por,
trays the procession and the popu-
lar acclaim Of Christ who pauses to
open the eyes of blind man. The
singing OF THE Palms" greatly
sheightens the realism Of this
scene.
The scene of the fifth episode,
which is entitled, Cleansing the
Temple" is the outer court of the
Temple on Monday after Palm
Sunday. The commercialism Of reli-
gion is clearly shown as the dove
merchants and money changers ply
their trade, until Christ enters the
scene and in indignation drives out
with whip the profaners of the
sacred place.
ENDS WITH SOLO.
The sixth episode is entitled 1.-THE
Challenge of -Christ's Authority"
and has as fits scene the outer
court of the Temple on Tuesday

mon people who had gladly listened
to his words and by the disciples.
The purpose of the pageant is
20 create by its simplicity a real
and profound religious impression.

CENTURY-OLD BAMBOO
ORGAN is STILL IN USE

One of the most remarkable or.
gans in the world, says a writer in
the Wide World Magazine, is the
bamboo organ in the Catholic
church of Los Pinas, little town
about five miles from Manila, in the
Philippine islands.
This organ was built about 1915
by an old Spanish priest, who must
have been an extremely patient and
devoted worker, as he used more
than 900 lengths of bamboo in the
organ, every one Of which was
buried in the sand for at least two
years in order to season it.
Although the bamboo is a very
soft wood, the old priest did his
work so we'll that the organ is still
in good condition after a century of
use and is used every week in his
services by the Belgian priest in
charge, Father Victor Declereq,
Every part Of the instrument is
made of bamboo and some very in.
genious devices were included by its
builder While making the organ,
the priest built tiny model, a per.
feet copy of the big instrument.
This he sent to the Queen of Spain,
who, In appreciation of the present.
sent number of valuable gifts to
the church. Some of them still re-
main, and are almost as much treas.
ured as the organ itself.

ECCENTRICITIES OF
ORCHESTRA LEADERS

Few people seem to realize that
the real work of the orchestral con-
ductor Is in the preparation, the re-
hearsal of the music. OF course In
very intricate compositions the play
ers are grateful for the skilled help
of the keen musical mind and the ac-
curate baton of the master con-
ductor, but in a great many in
stances where the work has been
prepared with great care, or where
the players know the intention OF
the conductor, the baton is largely
unnecessary.
Seidl, the great conductor, used to
delight in sitting down and hearing
his orchestra play by itself without a
conductor. Mendelssohn did much
of the same thing. 1t is said that he
would seldom beat more than the
first section Of sixteen measures.
of a movement from a symphony or
an overture, and then would put
down his baton, take a comfortable
seat and enjoy the work, applauding
with the hearers.
