REVIEW OF THE MARKETS.
CONDITION OF GENERAL TRADE
DURING THE PAST WEEK.

The Cotton Market Advanced Stendf-
Iy, showing Gains on the Leading
Grades-Thc Upward Tendency OF
Futures Continues, with Many In
nucnces to Give the Market a
Strong Undertone-Turpentin in
Strong Position mt the Advance.
Local md Photographic Markets.
Morning News Office, June 29.-Mucn
strength was shown during the past week
in all the leading markets. which show
material gains over the prevailing prices
on last Friday. The local cotton market
moved up in response to the advances else
where, which were due 20 numerous bull
ish influences. Good middling was mark
ed up sc to-day, middling Lee, and low
middling sc, the prices being 942c 5-l6c'
and Sc, respectively. Business showed
signs of improving throughout the week,
the total sales running to Loss bales.
There was much activity in the futures
market to-day. and predictions OF 10 cents
for the old crop options were numerous.
The jump in August shows that month
to have gained 120 points within the past
two weeks. The effect of unfavorabie
crop news toward the closing, together
with reports of rains in Alabama, Ten
nessee and Georgia. had the effect of i'm
parting further strength to the market.
and terrifying the bull element in an in
vulnerable position. The closing in New
York was very steady, with prices net
10 to 80 points up on old crop, and to
points up on old crop options.
The leading influence in the naval stores
market during the week have contributed
TO advances in both spirits turpentine AMI
resins. at which the demand has been
satisfactory 10 the trade. The turpentine
market closed on last Saturday firm at
PIC and to-day firm at 4Sl2c. Resins
gained cents on all grades on Tuesday,
and advanced 3 cents on F and below IN
Thursday.
The strength impaired to the market has
been largely due to the unfavoraole wealth
or conditions throughout the naval stores
belt. which has tended 10 hinder produc-
ers in gathering the product. and Is con-
senuentlv looked TO as a prooab.e draw
back TO free movement. RepoTts have
confirmed the fact that heavy rains have
prevailed in some of the most productive
sections particularly Florida, and the
southern part of Alabama and Mississippi.
Nothing mars the outlook for the contin-
nance of good demand for turpentinc.
as consumption is on the increase in tho
face of a check if anything, in the output.
This time last year spirits were quoted IN
Savannah. quiet at 36i2 cents, with sales
of something over 2o0 casks.

COTTON FUTURES.
The Indications Point TO 10 Cents
for Old Crop OPTIONS

Inc Indications Point TO 10 Cents
for Old Crop Options.
New York, June 29.-From an uneventful
opening the market for cotton futures de-
veloped a surprising amount of activity
and remarka BILE degree of inherent
strength with the feature Of the day an
advance to Ice by the July option.
The weekly statement of statistics from
Liverpool was hardly so bullish as ex-
pected, while the public and private ad-
vices at hand before our opening failed
to note any serious change in the situa-
ton abroad. The start here was a toll
erably steady one, with prices points
higher 10 a point lower. The action of
the market during the first few minutes
led room traders TO believe that the IN
precedented bull movement had about run
its course and that speculation would fall
off to the customary dull summer months
business. But before 1920 a. m. foreign
representatives stepped TO the front as
buyers Of the near months, which were
offered with extreme reluctance by local
holders The South Joined in the buying
movement, which grew to a tremendous
proportion as the forenoon progressed
july made sheer advance to 9.Ss, or Is
points above the quotation current two
weeks ago, and just before the close sold
al 10 cents. amid intense excitement and
bull enthusiasm. August followed with a
jump 10 9.6l, making the advance of that
option within two weeks 120 points
Strong. late cables, unfavorable crop
news and reported further rains in Ala
bama, Tennessee and Georgia, together
with rumors of a pronounced advance in
spot cotton, on urgent export demand add
ed 10 the firm undertone of the market
Then came setback under local realiz-
ing, which started soon after the final
English cables we're in hand. During the
carly afternoon the market seemed in a
position to go iower as foreign orders ap-
peared TO be pretty thoroughly executed
while he weather predictions were excep-
tlonaly favorao Die to the growing crop
But at the opening of the last hour bull
speculation quickened and prices resum-
ed an upward course, with the summer
months far in the lead. The sole thought
ia the minds OF room traders seemed to
be that 10 cents for August was assured.
aud on this feeling large blocks of that
delivery were purchased on this display of
confidence. The market closed very steady
with prices net 10 to SO points UP on near
months ard 1 10 points on far months

A Growing Industry.

A Longwood correspondent informs the
Morning News that the development of
the palmetto industry is one of the most
remarkable in the history Of Florida. and
far exceeds the cotton seed industry, as
the raw material costs nothing be-
yond gathering it. Longwood already
has three establishments for gathering
and shipping palmetto leaves, while Or
lando has several factories where they
are dyed and put up in pots and other
wise for sale in Northern markets. one

the palmetto roots are being doubled in

AN EXCITING RUNAWAY.
A Baby Rescued From the Path of
the Frightened Horse.

wsycross. Ga. June 2s.-One of the
most exciting runaways occurring here in
many long day was witnessed by large
crowd this Afternoon about 6 o'clock
Mrs. Eugene Mccall and Mrs. Matte
Baum were out driving in Mrs. McCall's
buggy. When near the Southern Hotel
the horse became frightened and dashed
down Plant avenue. The animal darted
around the corner at the First National
Bank and there took the sidewalk on
Mary street. This he kept until Pendleton
street was reached. all the while being
kept in the middle of the sidewalk by
brave Mrs. Mccall, who held firmly to the
lines. As the horse dashed down the side
walk those who saw IL were horrified TO
see a baby carriage with a baby in ii di-
rectly ahead OF the runaway
steed Their blood almost curdled
as they anticipated an instant
and awful death for the little one.
Just in the nick of time however. Mrs.
Harrington rushed out and snatched the
baby from its perilous position.
She was none too soon. for after she
lifted the little one from the carriage. The
horse came by. leaving the baby carriage
in hundreds of splinters. At Pendieton
street. the frightened animal again took
TO the sidewalk, but before going far, a
small sycamore tree was struck, and the
horse broke loose from the vehicle
Mrs. Mccall was thrown out of the
buggy by the shock, and painfully hurt,
though no bones were broken. Mrs Baum
was severely shocked, but sustained no
bodily injuries.

COTTON LETTERS.

New York. June 29-Hubbard Bros. &
Co. say: The Liverpool market con-
tinues TO lead the advance, though sell
ing freely here, where our. stock is rap
idly going abroad. This curious action
OF the Liverpool operators is difficult to
explain, but it accounts for the sharp
fluctuations in July and August Weather
conditions appear to be changing toward
a more favorable outlook for the crop.
Under these diverse influences the two
crops are rapidly widening. Our trade
believe the Liverpool manipulation is not
Vet over. and that it will cause a further
advance in the summer months here. as
what cotton there is in the country is
pointing toward New Orleans as the high
est market. Trade and crop reports are
without influence to-day.
New York. June 29-Murphy & Co. say:
Cotton market advices from Liverpool
to-day were fairly favorable. This mar
ket opened unchanged to points up. Old
crop positions have ruled firm on shorts
covering, but the new crops have not
sympathized, owing to local and Southern
selling. influenced by more favorable
weather predicted in the cotton belt. The
afternoon session opened with the ad-
vance on old crops well maintained. The
new crops are only slightly steadier. On
good buying by shorts and local sales the
market sold up and closed about the high
est point of the day.
