A. Coleman and A. w. Golfer, man.
ayers of Riverside Park, have with
astounding success, improved and
beautifed the park.
The Slogan is, Safety First. Cour-

patronage that has heretofore looked
with some disfavor on similar amuse-
ment places.
There is new thrill this year in
the form of a well named Sky

rebuilt and improved upon.

During one of the speeder cleanups
he got the utmost enjoyment in leav-

his automobile doing police work and
making arrests himself

said that the act Of arresting inno-
cent persons, putting them in Jail
under $4,000 bond was itself a
crime.
"Spasmodic drives will not help

Prospects For Cold, I'm

Renewed Buying

NEW YORK, Oct. 2.-Prospects for
another spell of unsettled and colder
weather in the southwest led to a re-
newal of buying on reduced crop esti-
mates in the cotton market today, and
fprices advanced. approximately cent
pound. December contracts sold up
from 24.s0c, the early low to 25s0c, or
90 points higher net, and closed at
2e.73c, the general market closing very
steady at net advances Of 70 to %
points.
The market opened steady at an ad-
vance of 2 to IL points on relatively
firm Liverpool cables. Considerable
southern hedge selling and scattering
liquidation occurred around the initial
prices. The market eased off several
points right after the call under selling
promoted by the publication Of unfavor-
able mill returns on last years business
and favorable early weather reports.
October sold off to 2557 and January
to 24.S5c, but the market attracted sup
port at these figures and advances were
showers and colder weather In the
southwest. Some traders thought they
saw prospects for frosts In that quar-
ter before the end of the week, and
covering by recent sellers became ac-
tive on the advance to 1888 for October
and 25.95c for January in the late trad
ing. This made a net advance OF 80 to

close was several points off from the

It was estimated that as much as

today for shipment to Europe from the
United States and Canada, haif the To-
tai being from this country and the
other half from Canada. About 10000
bushels Of rye were also purchased for
transatlantic use, although rye was
selling at about equal cost with wheat

fast pace would exhaust the entire
available domestic stock, aside from
new crop receipts. Even barley came
into view today as "a possible substitute,

NEW ORLEANS COTTON


NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 2.-The cotton
market today scored a further advance
showing new high levels for the season
and gains of practically IS bale ON
all active months from the low levels
of the early morning and a net gain
over the previous class Of virtually "a
bale.
At the start opening trades showed
slight gains owing to Liverpool cables
being higher than due, but prices soon
eased off ON a generally fair weather
map, December dropping to 24.75c and
January to 24.S2c or to points net
lower. From these low points the mar
ket later started upward on indications
of an impending unfavorable change
of weather in the west. This rally later
assumed considerable proportions on
reported stiffening OF the spot basis,
the acceptance by the League of Ma
lions of the disarmament protocol, and
active buying by large operators. Prices
were advanced 90 to "a points above
the lows near noon but eased off about
% points on the report that some of the
large buyers were liquidating In the
late trading prices rallied sharply on ac-
tive general buying, December advanc-
ing to 25.70c and January to 25.S1c,
or 80 to 104 points above the lows. Some
of the advance was lot in the last mo-
ments of the session the close showing
net gains for the day of "a to n points.
Much of the days activity and
was based on the news that
number of big operators had under
taken to advance prices. Some of these
traders liquidated when prices had been
advanced practically cent a pound but
on the break which followed the gem
eral public bought freely and ran prices
up to the high points OF the day just
before the close.
1t was reported that October longs

The unfavorable Interpretation placed
