New York, Sept. 30.-Condition of
cotton on an average date of Septem
ber 23, as ascertained hy over 2,000
replies of special correspondents of
the Journal of Commerce, was 63.7
|t lier cent, as compared with 7 0.7 per
cent a month ago, representing a de
terioration of 7 points. This is some
what excessive, having been exceed
ed only once in the past ten years,
when in l :.(?7 the depreciation
amounted to 7.4 points; in 1908 it
4t was 7 points. Tho 10-year average is
5.2 per cent deterioration. Unfavor
able weather conditions brought
about unusual shedding, and the
striking feature of the report is uni
versal prediction of an extremely
short croi>. A year ago al this time
^.condition was 75.5 per cent, In 1913
it was 67.1 per cent and in 1912 it.
was 70..'5 per cent.
Largely on account of much pre
mature opening picking is well ad
vanced, being 35. I per cent gathered,
?against ,'!;', per cent last year, 30 per
"cent In 19 13 and 2fi.2 per cent in

VETERANS IN I (LUE PARADE.
200,000 strong in 1865, Ranks Thin
IKHI NOW to 20,000.
Washington. Sept. 29.-The Grand
Anny ot the Republic marched up I
Pennsylvania avenue from the Capi- |
to] to the White House to-day, as it ;
did when the Union soldiers were
mustered out of service 50 years ago. j
In 0". the army, as ii passed in
review before President Andrew i
Johnson, was 200.000 strong. To- j
day in the blue ranks as they were [
reviewed by the first Southern-boru ?
President elected since the war, '
there were, according to the best es- I
lim?tes obtainable, about 20,000 :
men. Some of them carried crutches i
or car.es. Others leaned on stronger ?
comrades. Many retrod the path ?
of a half century ago with buoyant
step to the air of old-time war songs j
Fifty years ago 'the army was two :
days in passing in review. To-day
less than four hours was necessary
for the march. The weather was !
ideal. The spectators almost equal
led those at an inauguration. Only '
a few veterans were forced to retire
from the ranks because of exhaus
tion.
Seated with President Wilson in
the White House reviewing stand .
w as Col. 1). J. Palmer, commander- !
in-chief of the G. A. R. Lieut Gen. '
Nelson A. Miles, grand marshal of
the parade, *ook a place after the
head of the long procession that
passed. Secretary Garrison and Sec-,
rotary Daniels were in boxes. Chief 1
Justice Whi'te, a Confederate Vete-I
ran: Sir Cecil Spring-Rice, the Brit
ish ambassador, and J, J. Jusserand, |
the French ambassador, occupied
seats. One section of the stand was
occupied by Civil War nurses.
To-night a number of reunions ;
were held in Cami) Matthew G. Em
ery, and before a "dog watch" reun
ion of the naval and marine veterans
Secretary Daniels discussed 'the fam
ous blockade and the effective ser
vice rendered by the navy during
the entire war.
Second Subway Accident.
New York, Sept. 25.- -Another
cave-in of the street over the new
subway under co istruction in Broad
way, near MStli street, occurred to
night. Seven ambulances were sent
to the scene. Police and firemen '
were called to rescue those buried !
in Hie excavation.
("ries for hell) were heard from a ;
number of persons who were thrown j
Into the pit. A call for the oxygen
< rew of the fire department was sent J
In.
Tlie scene is less than a mile from
that of a similar accident which oc
curred last Wednesday, when seven
persons were killed in ?< cave-in of j
the partly constructed subway at 7th i
avenue and 25(11 .street.
Now Taking Precautions.
New York, Sept. 26.-City and j
State authorities took action ? to-day |
to prevent a recurrence of last night's |
subway accident, the second In four !
days to result in loss of life.
The first move was an order clos
ing to vehicle and street car traffic
nany sections of the roadway and in
tersecting streets under which sub
ways are being built.
The cause of last night's cave-in,
which resulted in the death of a wo
man and the injury of several men,
has not been determined definitely,
but a statement by the United States
Realty and Improvement Company,
In charge of the work, said the acci
dent was caused by a slide of rouk
which the timbers could not with
stand.
The victim of the accident was
identified to-day as Madam Estelle
Tomasseil i, .'53 years old, of Havana,
Cuba. She had been on a visit here.
