Cotton Letter.


C. w. Lee & Co.'S Letter to Cothran
& Co.
New York. September 5.-As was to be
expected after the break of 20 points cot
ton advanced sharply this morning but
later in the day realizing started a de-
cline and most of it was lost AS far
as present conditions go factors favor
another reaetionary market. Good rains
moderate temperatures and the heavy re-
ceipts that are likely for some months to
come all operate against a further adj
vance after a gain of a cent a pound
The situation during the fall Of the year
is different from that after the crop has
been two-thirds marketed. Then prices
move as they did last spring from $50 to
965 with hardly a reaction. Now cotton
must be absorbed on every advance as
the southern planter is marketing his
crop of cotton While the crop this year
is not in danger of being large enough
to cause overproduetion and the large
consumption makes an active demand
certain at this season of the year, up
and downs are to be looked for. Many of
the best informed traders look for
further decline before the reaction runs
its course but on breaks cotton is pur-
chase for quick profits, We should not
be surprised to see 81 again for January
but this may not come Immediately and
speculation should make profitable fuc-
tuations In the meantime. The cotton
crop is not large enough to make short
selling profitable with futures at sib
cents and below. The rain deficiency this
year makes a bull speculation more than
probable this season.

Chicago, September 5--Grain specula-
tors became excited today over the posi-
bility of frosts in the unripe grains to-
morrow, in spite of the fact that the
weather map indications were very IA
vorable. While conservative traders
scoffed at the inconsistency with which
the markets rallied today whereas yes
terday 1t slumped when frost was on the
ground, the result of the days trading
was a good gain all around The probable
reason for this was that the bulls did
not have very good plank in their plat
form--that of chronic poor grading of re-
ceipts at this point. At the close Deem
Der wheat was %@Ac up. December corn
1a@ssc higher and December oats &c up
Provisions closed generally 1Oc advanced
The leading futures ranged as follows.

HE ATE ANOTHER DINNER.

And Even at That He Didn't Get His
 Moneys Worth
 Speaking of the men who wants to get even reminds me-" said the room clerk, of something that happened last season when was working in Chicago A man from South Bend, Ind, put up at the hotel on the American plan one day and took dinner outside with a friend. When he came to pay his bill that evening, he found he had been charged for the meal and immediately raised Cain. The clerk tried to explain that the American plan was based en- tirely upon time, and if he chose to eat else it was his own lookout, but the man from South Bend couldn't get it through his head. He paid the bill dinner was still on.
 '' Yes, sir said the clerk, it lasts till g. pm
 {" Then, by jings!' he exclaimed, I'll just go up and tackle it! I've eaten one dinner already, but you bet I'm go- ing to get my moneys worth out of this old house if bust!"
 "He rushed into the dining room, grabbed a bill of fare and ordered ev- erything he could think of, his sole idea being to get even for that charge. It was a sumptuous repast, and what he couldn't eat he messed up SO it would be of no use to anybody else. When he finally got through, the waiter handed him a check for 40.
 |" What's that for?' he asked in sur- prise.
 [" Your dinner, sir said the waiter.
 But I've already paid it in my bill,' he protested. I'm staying here on the American plan
 " Then you should have gone to the other dining room,' said the waiter. This is the European plan cafe
 "The man from South Bend paid the bill in silence and walked out When he reached the sidewalk, his pent up emotion exploded and he said things that shocked even the cab drivers "- New Orleans Times-Democrat
