COTTON
NEW YORK, Aug. 31. There was a
,-trv sensational oreaK in tno cotton
market right after the opening tliis
roornine; January sold off to 15.80 with
ii the first 15 minutes of trading, or a
full cent below yesterday's closing Quo
tation, and other months showed losses
ranging from 85 to 98 points. Sharp
rallies followed but were not fully
maintained with January closing at
If. 25 and witn the general market clos
ine steady at a net decline of 52 to 73
coints.
Liverpool was a little .better than due
if anything and the market here opened
rteady at unchanged prices to a decline
of 13 points, but quickly became ex
ceedingly active and excited. The ef
fort to liquidate long contracts after
the rapid advances of the past two
weeks and before the publication of the
bureau, appeared to general and for
a time the offerings were overwhelm
ing:.
October broke to 15.70 and December
to 16.00 before sufficient buyers could
be found to absorb the more urgent f
ferings. A rally of some 45 to 55 points
followed almost quiCKiy, wnicn carried
December up to 16.55 and January to
1C.56. but this met a renewal of llqui
dation, which carried prices back to
within 15 or 20 points of the lows and
the late fluctuations were nervbus an-i
lrT here r were reports that Fall Rlvor
mills were going on full time owing u
the better demand for goods and ad
vance in prices. Under these complaints
local brokers attributed the break
iXt.rft. to selling in an overbought
nr.
a

iivancp in cotton gods migr.t
r mnd for consumption.
Two more private crop reports were
j nnhiiBhod before the open-
ng placing the condition at 55.1 and
the indicated crop at 7.905.700 ba
while the other, issued later in tne
morning, placed the condition at only
45? the Towest figure so far mentioned.

NEW ORLEANS, Aug. 31. A violent
decline resulted in the cotton market
today from the large volume f liqui
dation that came from the long side
Momentarily, on the first call, there
were advances of 10 to 15 points, which
carried the stronger position to new
high levels for the season but w thin

Prices were 79 to 80 points down from

seme steadiness from very low Pvte
bureau reports on condition which
brought in new buying orders, but no
pronounced strength was on display
and only partial recoveries were made.
Towards the middle of the day pr-ces

Tr 2 importance of makir 7 thorough
inspection of school build n?s, to see
if firo hazards have developed during
the summer vacation period is stressed
in letters received by loeal school au
thorities andteachere from Insurance
Commissioner Stacey W. Wade. At
tention is called to the fact $hat 10 per
cent of all the accidental deaths in the
nation come from fires, and that 85
per cent of the fires are caused by
carelessness.
Those charged with the responsibil
ity lor -the caro of the children during
the five or more hours theyj are in
school each day should be sure that
everything haa ' beeni done to Insure
their safety, the Insurance commis
sioner declared in his letter. All fire
hazards should be removed, the heat
ing apparatus should be inspected and
exits and fire escapes put in the proper
shape.
"If these things are not done and a
child should lose its life In a school
fire, the responsibility Is directly on
the sholders of those' responsible izr
making the inspection. This Includes
the-' teachers, the janitors and the
school board" according to the opinion
of the commissioner. Likewise, it is
held, the parents of the children are
responsible to the extent that every
parent should Insist on these Inspec
tions being made before they allow
their children to enter school.
The department believes the respoa
sibility rests with double force on the
school authorities, for the state re
quires the children to attend school,
and it should see that the school is
properly safe. Mr. Wade urges the
teachers and superintendents of schools
to have fire drills for the children at
least twice a month, but calls atten
tion to the fact that fire drills will do
little srood if the doors do not open
outside, or the fire escapes and exits
are closed so that they cannot be open
ed quickly In case of fires.
The insurance department would like
to see fire prevention courses put in all
schools and colleges. He believes that
such courses would serve the doubi-3
purpose of helping prevent school fires,
and fo would help educate the pub
lic In fire prevention. In this respect
the schools have a double responsibil
ity. If these courses were Installed
the result in less fire waste would be
seen in a short time.
