IN The COTTON MARKETS
Statistical Information from the Leading
Exchanges Of the World.
MARKETS WERE COMPARATIVELY QUIET
There Was m Advance OF 2 TO 4
Points in Futures and Spots
Were Unchanged.
ofnoe OF The Post,
Houston. Friday, August Is.


The cotton market today was tame afiai'
when compared with the wild and exciting ses'
sions during the early part of the week. While
trading was fairly active and considerable
iuyng was INDUCED in. there was lack OF
the mad rush to cover by shorts. or to dumr
holdings by longs that characterized the
markets OF Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday
During the day the fluctuations did not ex-
cted points and the close was at small
advance over yesterdays figures.
Price. Ide and Hubbard continue TO huy
heavily, principally october deliveries. which
they think will go much higher. Liverpool Is
selling. though not on an extensive scale.
The crop news received had but little ef-
feet. being about the same as that OF yester-
day--oon inued hot winds and a lack of moist
ure- though there are Indications in SOME
sections of rains. AS a whole, the situation
was slightly bulliEh and kept the market from
making any considerable changes
Hubbard says that, with or without rains,
prices are bound to go higher and advises
buying October on all declines. and contends
that while the heavy receipts for August and
September may depress prices, just as soon
as they begin 10 fall off-which must follow.
for the crop will have been halt gathered and
marketed in Texas by that time-an upward
movement will take place. He lays great
stress on the cron damage and backs his opin'
ion by buying heavily of October futures
Receipts in Houston continue TO increase
daily and I'm to this time are nearly double
these of the entire month Of August last year

Robert Collins Of Caldwell, father

Rock Island railroad yards in this

Mr. Collins is about 90 years Of age,
aud weighs about 200 pounds. He is
a member Of the Rock Island bridge

near the piles Of ties yesterday after
noon, and when it started, Collins
made a hasty effort to climb on. His
foot slipped from the step and was
caught under a wheel. The inside Of
the foot, from the heel to the toe, was
torn open. The rent flesh was filed
with cinders and the shoe was almost
tom of his foot. a physician was
summoned and the foot dressed. A
portion of the crushed bone was taken
