THE BULL POOL GETS OUT.
George French Says Everything was
Sold at a Profit.

Chicago, Aug. 24.-The bull pool which
has so successfully handled enormous
lines of wheat, corn and oats on change,
announced at the close to-day that they
were practically out of the market with
the exception of little September
wheat, which they say they will take on
delivery day. The announcement that
the pool had liquidated its holdings caus-
ed a feeling of great relief among the
brokers generally. 1t has been felt for
several days that the pool had been try
ing to do too much. When the campaign
in wheat was begun several months ago
it was regarded as a very difficult un-
dertaking. The bulls became masters of
the situation, aided by the news from
abroad and piled up enormous profits in
n short time. When the same pool went
into corn to the extent of about 10000
900 bushels and O8ts amounting to about
100000, nervousness was renewed. So
long as everything kept moving up, how
ever, it was not very acute.
The bull difficulties began with the
spectacular calling of wheat ON Saturday
at 81 when it could have been bought
cheaper in the pit. When prices began
to drop on Monday margin calling in
creased and the anxiety was relieved
only by. the announcement tonight that
practically everything had been sold out.
Although it was believed that the line
of December corn showed a loss George
French, who has heen handling the deals
for the pool, says'fverything was sold at
profit! He SAWS that several promi-
nent grain merchants pooled yesterday
to raid the markets and force him to un-
load.

Simla, Aug. 24.-The British officer
commanding at Jamrud, moved a battery
of artillery, escorted by the Fourth dra-
goOns yesterday, to the mouth Of the
Khyber Pass and shelled the enemy at
range Of 5000 yards. The Afridis re-
tired but the battery returned to Jamrud,
the officer in command deeming it mad
visable to enter the pass.
General Ellos will begin n concerted
movement against the insurgent tribes
men to-day.
Later details of the capture of Fort
Maude by the insurgents tribesmen show
that the garrison of that place retired at
1870 p. m, yesterday and that the fort
was burned half an hour later. The
garrison reached Col. Westmactto's re-
lief, coming to Khohata at 11:30 p. m.
At the same time that Fort Maude
was abandoned, the Khyber rifles gar
risoning Fort Jewangera were compelled
to abandon that place.

turing it.

Afghan frontier, southeast of Kandahr,
and on the edge Of the Registrar desert,
between the provinces of Toba and Pish-

cotton?'
Certainly. but cottonseed can be
planted again. have myself put in
cOttOnseed as late ns the middle of
May and realized good crop. If
there are no early frosts the crop is
sure to be all right. In many in
stances the ground is made richer by
the deposit of alluvial matter brought
down by the floods, but of course at
the point where the crevasse breaks
the plantation is ruined. because great
hollows are plOwed in the ground by
the rushing waters. With sugar the
case is different. If the cane Is sub
merged, 1t is ruined. and 1t will take
three years for the plantation to reach
