ACTIVE DEMAND FOR COITOII
Caused by Bullish Crop Reports and
Apprehension of Possible Early
' winter Features on Market
Yesterday.
yrw York, Sept. 26. Bullish private
crop reports and talk of smaller Sou
thern spot offerings, together .with,
apprehension of a posible early Win
ter based upon the appearance of kiU
jnjr frost in the NorthweBt caused a
more active demand for cotton in the
local market, and while advances were
not fully maintained, the close - was
steady, with 'September showing a
gain of one point and later positions
of 11 a 1G points for the day.
The market opened firm with . Sep
tember unchanged and other months
'four to ten points higher in .response
to a better Liverpool market than
expectedyand private gables reporting
steadier spot offers from the South.
Spot houses bought September at the
opening, and that position firmed up
with the rest of the list but soon re
acted, ruling comparatively quiet ami
easy during the balance of the day,
while later months showed increasing
activity and gradually worked up to
a net advance of 16 and. 19 points on
covering by recent sellers, a , little
support from trade interests, and a
considerable demand from Wall street
houses, particularly those with Wes
tern connections. Western interests
were probably buyers on bullish crop
news, as one' of the big Chicago hous
es is said to have received a large
number of very bullish crop reports
from the South; while some of the
V.'all street interests may have been
operating ori a report from a local au
thority suggesting a crop pf only 10,
1S4.000 bales, with average weather
conditions. Realizing checked the ad
vance around 13.40 for October, and
there were sligjht reactions in . the
later trading with some selling attri
buted to a private cable received late
in the day from Liverpool to the effect
that master spinners had refused to
submit the Lancashire labor dispute
to arbitration. The census figures on
supplies and distribution showing a
stock in the hands of domestic mills
of only 518,101 bales at the beginning
of the present season, comparing with
. ' nw,cL, lrit turpentine: 3t5 barrels rosn; 104 bar
last year, were published be-iueU tar; ?J barrels crude turpentine.
807,097
fore 1 the opening, but proved near
enough expectations to exert no ap
parent influence on the day's business.
Southern spot markets officially re
ported early were 1-16, c. lower to 1-16
c. higher.
Receipts at the ports today 60,818
bales against 30,579 last week, and
59,703 last year. For the week. 325,
000 hales agafnst 241,946 last' week
and ".'.S't.ssi last year. Today's re
ceipts at New Orleans 3,412 bales
against 5.2S1 last year.
Spot cotton dosed steady, 1 points lower.

STOCKS SHOW SIGHS OF LIFE
Some AcK vlty. ori the Market Yester
day Reading Was feature
Substantial Demand
' Thrwighout Day.
New York, Sept. 26. The stock
market today gave a gign of more
life and took ou a semblance of
breadth and strength. Vhe Increased
congestion j&f the-dealing io Reading
as the day progressed lessened; the ap
pearance of Drekdtb aft restored that
of narrow profsionaUsm, which has
been the fault of the market for some
time past. Sales of Headiiag-made up
oyer 40 pejp cent of tbjeyNiarj's aggfe
gate transactions. - ?: ; , :"
. The stress l$,ld by tfee wrrejit spec
ulation on the question of raising
freight? rates was exemplified again by
the influence of the reported action
of railroad labor organizations to fur
ther the requests of the railroads to
be ' allowed to advan.ee rates. London
joined in the buying on a' liberal scale,
and there was a substantial demand
also from uncovered shorts.
The conspicuous strength of Read
ing at first was made an argument in
favor of the general advance, but later
became the grounds for some doubt
and hesitation over the general move
ment. The news regarding the stock
was confined to surmises over theiWesteru Union
identity bf the large buyers, these
pointing to various well known ope
rators of the -first magnitude in specu
lative campaigns.
The hardening tendency of money
rates was ignored in the conviction
that the causes for it were temporary
and lay in the preparations for the Oc
tober settlements.
The placing in London of $7,500,000
of Union Pacific refunding bonds neu
tralized the influence of .the London
money market: on the stock market
here. The market early, threw off the
restraint of the coming convention at
Saratoga. The market also seemed to
be 'free from misgivings over the low
temperatures reported from the corn
belt.
: Bonds- were strong. Total sales par
value were 12,362,000. United States
bonds were unchanged in the bid

SCHOOL LESSONS ON CORN.
Secretary of Agriculture Issues Pam
phlet oa Grain Growing.
Washington, Sept. 26. Owing to the
continuous and growing demand com
ing largely from rural school teachers
for a publicafnfci of the Department of
Agriculture entitled, "Exercises in Ele
mentary Agriculture Plant Produc
tion," issued three years ago, the Sec
retary of Agriculture has had prepared
and, revised a pamphlet entitled
"School Lessons on Corn," which it is
designed to meet more fully the re
quirements of the study of corn grow
Ing. It is believed' that the bulletin will
be especially useful in public schools,
where boys and girls agricultural clubs
fiave been formed for the experimental
'growing of corn.
Deafness Cannot Be Cured
by local applications, at they cannot reach the dir
eased portion of the ear. There Is only one way to
cure deafness, and tbat is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an Inflamed condition ot the
tnuooua lining ot the Eustachian Tube. When this
tube Is Id flamed you have a rumbling sound or Im
perfect hearing, and when It Is entirely closed. Deaf
ness is the result, and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its normal condi
tion, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases
out ot ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing
but an inflamed condition ot the mucous surfaces.
We will (five One Hundred Jjollars tor any case ot
Deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be cured
by Hall's Catarrh Cure, Send for circulars, free. .
