OPENS DOWN
Slight Rally at End
OF First Hour
Due to Rain

NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 2S.5F)-
Lower Liverpool cables than expected
were reflected in an opening decline
of s to z points in the cotton market
hire today. Offerings became more
plentiful after the start due to the
weather maps showing rains only II
the southern portions Of the belt. and
10 somewhat more favorable weekly
reports from Texas.
December ultimately traded off to
1s.4s, January lS.49 and March 1e.4s'
or Is to Is points net down. Towards
the end of the first hour there was
a slight demand probably induced BY
NAV indications Of rains for the
western section Of the belt and
prices rallied 8 to A points from the
lowest.
Selling was promoted by a rather
more favorable view of weather con-
ditions and after the advance Of more
than 2 cents a pound from recent low
levels. some traders were talking the
possibilit yof reactions in advance OF
the approaching crop report.
Private cables said fair trade call
ing had been supplied by liquidation
in Liverpool, but that there was en-
couragng demand for cotton cloths
from India.
The market turned easy again
however. and continued 20 decline
during the morning under hedge
selling and selling by ring traders
on the weaker technical position
Near mid-session the decline be-
came more active when a statement
from Texas said the crop there
would Be the second largest in his
tory. December and January sold
off to 1886, and March to 1885, OF
2s to 80 points under yesterdays
close.
AZ mid-session the market was
barely steady and at the lowest.
NEW YORK COTTON
NEW YORK, Sept. 2s.zP-The
cotton market opened steady at un-
changed prices to a decline Of 8
points under realizing by recent
buyers probably influenced by rela-
lively easy cables. Some southern
selling was reported. and after rath-
er quick and irregular fluctuations,
the market eased off to 1913 for De-
70 II points net lower.
Selling was not particularly active
or aggressive, but there was some
further southern hedging combined
with liquidation and local selling
which SEN prices off to 1905 for
December and 1890 for March, or
about IL 10 "a points net lower. Pri-
ces were within a point or two Of
these figures at midday, with trading
quiet.

Earthquakes Undermine
 Mexico City Cathedral

MEXICO CITY, July 22,-Un- less wall and foundations which have weakened by earthquakes can be strengthened adequately, the great Catholic Cathedral of Mex ico City, one of the show places of this continent and reckOned among the worlds important ar thitectural works, may rema,n per manently closed to the public.
 The cathedral has been closed two years, since the Mexican re- ligious laws became elective and the controversy between church and government became acute. It has been assumed that, the cathe- dral would be re-orened whenever that dispute was adjusted and pos sibly before.
 But now engineers say it's walls and foundations are dangerously weak and that recent earthquakes have increased their instability. In consequence the government or dered that it continue closed in- definitely. If walls and founda- tions can be so reinforced that fear of collapse is removed that order, issued for the protection of the public, may be cancelled.

MAY CLEAR UP
 MARS MYSTERY
Giant Telescope May Re- veal Whether Planet
 Is Inhabited

PARIS, July 23.-In ton years may be known the answer to one of the most popular and the most debated of all astronomical questions, whether the planet Mars is inhabited or not, by means of giant telescope ten times more powerful than, any existent now.
 Professor G. w. Ritchey, de- signer of the worlds greatest telescopes, the 60 and 100 inch ronectors at Mt. Wilson Observa- tory in California, believes that his newest reflector, on which he has been working in Paris for four years, will make science of legend.
 If cities exist on Mars" Pro- lessor Ritchey said, i've shall see them with the new telescope. This is the question most often put to astronomers, and it is a legitimate one.
 My new reflector will give ten times the optical power of the most successful modern tele- scopes. Through an aperture only twice as large as that of the 100-inch telecope, but with ten times it's power, we shall plainly distinguish the features of the Martian landscapes. Perhaps we shall not be able to make out the figures of the possible inhabi- tants, but we could surely see their habitations in the United States ,
 Professor Ritchey expects to have his new telescope mounted and funetioning within ten years, on the edge of the Grand Canyon in the United States.

Cigar Makers Fight
 Counterfeit Havanas

HAVANA, July 23-Cuban to. bacco growers, cigar manufactur- CTS and exporters of the famous Havana weed are getting wrought up over Justification of their product and are determined to put stop to marketing of bogus Havana cigars On United States markets.
 Thousands of dollars have been set aside by the Cuban Govern ment for use of the Cuban tobac- co commission in its drive against spurious Havana filters and its fa- nous tobacco blend.
 Efforts to stamp out bogus cigars will be carried on not only through stricter shipping meas ures, but through educational pamphlets which will be issued by the tobacco commission. Spec ial stamps, special cigar bands and other identifying marks will be carried on all true products of Cuba going to foreign trade. FISHERIES MAN HERE

To buy a bottle of wine or liquor

must have a passbook. You must
specify exactly what you want and

To obtain such pasSbook, you
must file formal application several

All this is verified by the system.
And inasmuch as nobody is going
