COTTON BREAKS
 $3.5O PER BALE
General Rains In South Cause Selling
 Rush

NEW YORK, Sept. 15.-A break of approximately $3.5o a bale occurred in the cotton market here today under a renewal of the selling movement re- sponsible for the severe declines of last V eek.
 Traders evidently thought that the recent rains in the south would add to the size of the crop even if 1t caused some damage to grades and this opin- ion was promoted by reports of in- creased hedge selling with the appear ance of clearin weather in the south west.
 Cotton for October delivery sold off to 21.S3c, or 72 points net lower. The market closed weak at net declines of Fl to 75 points.

Towards the close of the day stock developed an easier tone, appar- ently for no other reason than that 1t was the time of the week when such reactions usually occur. Steel: Bald win, American Can, and many other industrials reacted fractionally, all though General Baking continued it's rapid advance, moving up points.

Disastrous Fire
At Sanator,a1,,1

the water pressure from the city
reservoir, and the water supply Is
pumped from the reservoir to big
tank. This tank was filled with wa
ter, and through the bucket brigade
the flames were kept confined to the
one building The morning was abb
solutely still. Had there been the
least breeze stirring, the fire would
have spread, and been much worse.
The sanatoriiun is one of
the leading institutions of the
county, and has national rep
utation. 1t has = capacity Of
about 90 beds, and it is filed at
all times and has a waiting list.
There are % employees connect

from the very moment the fire
was discovered, were for the
care and safety of the PATIENTS
None of the cottages, but two,
were i'm the least damaged, and
these two adjoining the main
building which burned. were
purposely removed to keep the
fire from spreading. Mr.. Phil
