the favorable character OF the foreign
generally builish purport of recent crop
accounts. From private cables it was
learned that English sentiment reelected
much concern the part of shorts
through fears that the true situation OF
the cotton crop in this country had been
misrcpresente1, and foreign buying orders
also became Il factor in the upward move
ment. There were u few periods OF ilqui-
daton which caused partial reactions.
Generally speaking. however. the market
was strong with some expectation of Il
hullish government report tomorrow.
Sentiment became very bullish as the ses-
sion advanced. largely on the accumulate
ing reports OF needed rains in Texas ana
the Southwest

Gus buyers all day. the former believed
to be for Investment account The mar

People who read i'm books of travel OF
the art of cutting flowers and using
them for decorative purposes, as it is
practiced in Japan. do not half appre,
cate the art There was japanese in
New York a few years ago who was in
great demand for decorating the houses
of wealthy people with flowers. His art
was one in which most Japanese WON.
en- are trained to u greater or less de.
gree. but always to an extent that other
peoples do not appreciate. Flowers
seemed to weld 10 the def fingers OF
this man as if by magic. He twisted
and turned them and they followed his
wishes SO willingly that there was not
the appearance of suffering that the
awkward arrangement of flowers by
non-competent hands makes apparent
TO the flower lover. The japanese wom-
an knows ust how a flower must be
cut. and whether il must be cut with a
knife or scissors or a saw and whether
or not il needs singeing. She KNOWS
whether il needs much or little water
and she arrunges her flowers to Keep
three or 80 days, as she desires>-N. y
Times.
