SOME CHANGES IN
 COTTON MARKET Prices At First Crumbled Under
 Bear Influences. BUT GAINED AT sTHE CLOSE Al the Best Figures of the Day the Market Showed a Net Rise of
 Eleven to Fourteen
 Points
BUT GAINED AT sTHE CLOSE

New York, Aug. 7-The market for cot ton futures started barely steady in tone, with prices 1 to points higher on near months, and to points lower on far months. Bear supremacy soon asserted itself after the call, and under fairly active selling for both accounts, prices crumbled quite sharply.
 The late cables from abroad were un- friendly, nearly all information from the cotton territory was optimistic concerning the crop development, while from consurn- ing centers the news was pessmistic in the extreme. By midday the uneasiness of shorts began to show plainly, while be- fore l D. smaller bears were in full re- treat. The official crop summary from Wash 1ngton proved to be quite surprise in that 1t showed the promising conditions in Geor- gia, Florida and Louisiana which were not expected, where shedding, rust and prema- ture opening were complained of.
 The crop in Texas was reported two to three weeks late with rank growth, she'd ding and insect damage reported in the southern portion of the State. Elsewhere the crop was reported generally improved The effect of this news upon the market was instaneous though full half an hour passed before the buying movement reached it's height. Prices advanced rapid ly and extensively with the winter months, showing the strength August, 7.99 in the morning. October advanced to SIT before reaction set in; January advanced from 7.So to S.O5. At the best figures of the day the market showed d net rise of 1l6Dl4 points.
 Europe bought on the call, sold later in the morning, then once more became uy- ei late in the day. The south and room trade sold during the forenoon, but subs.s- quently turned for cover Wire houses were active buyers on the upturn The market was finally steady, with prices 9Q12 points higher. New York, Aug. 7.-Cotton quiet; mid ding, 911-16; gross, 7SS; sales, 5,97f; stock, 25,904; exports to Great Britain, 2,2l6; ex- ports to the continent, 2,372.

in that line at this point during 1899 at
SIS, 000, 600.
This growing trade is warranted by
Omaha's central location in the great agri-
cultural section of the west and northwest,
and additional enterprises of the same
character are promised during the coming
year. Six large firms have prepared to build
mammoth warehouses in Omaha this year,
some of which are under way. The i'm
petus recently acquired by this branch of
business has led to the establishment
of the first implement supply factory here,
which will begin the manufacture Of sweep
rakes. haystackers and kindred utensils at
East Omaha March /, while several larger
concerns are promising to remove from east
ern points to Omaha during the year.
Omaha daily bee., 1900-01-21

In view of the Importance attained by
this trade here, it will be recognized that
something more than a perfunctory duty
was manifest in the cordial welcome eX-
tended the visiting implement dealers on
the opening of their convention. 1t was a
sincere recognition of their commercial i'm
portance in the affairs of this agricultural
section and an accurate expression of
Omaha's anxiety to welcome them often to
the Inequalities that were shown them
during their stay.

small importance compared with the power
he has received to gain independently fresh
knowledge"
Yet, while this truth is accepted in the
DRY, many schools have fallen far short in
putting it into practice. 1t is so much easier
to teach a rule than to train the mind to
a full understanding of its underlying prin-
ciples, so we find that children have been
taught to initiate rather than originate.
The dissatisfaction in the results OF such
methods Of teaching has yearly been grow
ing. The complaint comes from upper
grade teachers; "Our children do not know
how to think, If we give them a para
graph in reading they repeat the words
and care nothing for the thought; If we
give them a problem in arithmetic, instead
of considering the conditions stated, they
ask, DO you work it like those we had
yesterday?' And If we ask some simpl

Omaha an Implement Center.
The occurrence Of this meeting in Omaha
directed attention to the growing i'm
portance of this point as a distributing cen
ter for agricultural implements. Four large
transfer houses here handle the products of
about twenty factories. There are ninety
eight local branch and jobbing houses, thir-
ty-nine independent and purely wholesale
implement houses, three wholesale hard
ware houses and five %buggytop factories. The
thirty nine wholesale houses represent over
900 of the very best manufacturers in the
United States, and one of the big dealers

part of the time it met with no great popu-

zeal of the secretary and treasurer, j. A.
Mclaughlin Of Craig, it would prob
ably have gone to pieces long ago. Its popu-

of its officers as had expected a revival Of
