COTTON.
New York, Aug. 22.-Great excite
ment prevailed again on the cotton ex-
change. Transactions were upon an
enormous scale. Private cables indi-
Gated great change in foreign senti-
ment regarding the cotton crop outlook
in this country. They made a very bull
ish supplement- to the extraordinary
bullish advices which at one time indi-
Gated net advance of 612 to 7-64d for
futures and sd advance for spot cotton
at Liverpool. Private cables explained
the small sales of spot cotton in the
English market, stating that they were
due to the arbitrary position of holders
who were being impressed by the
drought accounts from the southwest.
The first call developed wild excite
memt with prices 10 to IL points higher.
The upward movement would have been
more marked, but for the heavy liquida-
ton and disposition to take profits. Sell
ing for the latter purpose subsequently
caused a reaction of s to 10 points, when
business proceeded upon a colossal scale
within narrow scope of variations. BY
noon the trading level was 8 to IL
points above the closing figures of yes
terday.
The subsequent course of the market
was irregular. At the highest level of
the day prices showed an advance of
10 to Is points ON yesterdays closing
figures. AT the lowest there was a de-
cline Of to ) points. The excitement
simmered down somewhat in the after
noon, but a feeling of feverish excite
ment marked the course of the market
to greater or less extent throughout
the session.
The weather forecast offered little or
no encouragement to hope for break
in the long protracted drought. In adj
dition to this feature a blistering tenn
perature was the rule throughout the
cotton belt.
The market here went off near the
close under heavy profit taking which
led to some bear selling The close was
barely steady at "a net loss of 2 to 5
points.

FEED THE Birds One cold morn
ing last week the writer, with pitch
fork in hand. proceeded to the feed
ing grounds of flock of quail to
uncover some cane seed which had
been placed there for them during
the last cold spell. Imagine my
surprise on approaching the spot
Ia see the birds, perhaps a dozen in
number, rise from the snow which
had drifryd on their feed to depth
of about Is inches. They came up
out of the snow. and, on examining
the spot, found they had burrow-
ed under it like rabbits, to get at
the cane seed, in which they had
succeeded. Some of the seed was
carried To the haunts of other ilncks
of the birds. and on the evening OF
the same day some of them were
seen greedily devouring their food.
Sportsmcn, you now have the OPP
portunity to repay the deb; Of graf
itude YOU owe these birds by plac.
ing food of some kind where they
can find it. If you don't do it you
may bid the birds farewell fol
years to come.
