New York Cotton.

NEW YORK, July 12,-The cotton mar
ket opened steady with prices points
higher to points lower and for brief
time following the call was inclined to
weaken under reports of soaking rains
along the Georgia coast line, scattered
showers in the rest of the belt, a. forecast
for rains over the South Atlantic states
and east gulf states tonight and tomor-
row. However the Liverpool market was
SG3 1-2 points on futures and 1-16d on spot
cotton, when little change had been due
while near month shorts displayed decid-
ed uneasiness.
Rumors again gained circulation to the
effect that strong spot cotton interests
was heavily long of August and Septem-
Der and intended demanding the cotton
on contract when they swill ship it to Eu-
rope. This foreboded' a marked decrease
in the New York stock at a time when
the American visible is small at best.
General buying was soon IN active
progress and prices worked steadily high
er with August and September options
leading the rise. The late months were in
a measure Influenced by unfavorable crops
from western Georgia, Alabama and
southern Mississippi. Advices from Texas
were quite encouraging. Receipts were
larger, due to the clearance for export Of
over 5000 bales from minor southern ports
Local sentiment was fairly bullish on the
late forenoon advance and commission
houses were good buyers. Europe picked
up moderate amounts of the near posi-
tions.

The improvements which have marked
the progress of the cotton seed crushing
industry are somewhat akin to those IN
other undertakings which are changing
the south and southwest from largely
AGRICULTURAL section TO one OF increasing
Importance in mining and manufacturing.
No better illustration OF this. perhaps. Is
to be had than the evolution OF methods IN
the Joplin zinc and lead field. special
correspondent of The Manufacturers Rec
ord who is covering developments In the
southwest, points out that only about
per cent of the 700 square miles OF that
southwestern district is under develop
ment, and he says:
more complete machinery and deeper
mining IS now the rule. There was q
time when a man and a mule were about
all that were required in the way OF
equipment for mining and then a nfty-
foot mine was deep Now the windlass
has given place to the steam hoist In
many cases and the hand bigger to

tons of ore a day, while a shaft VIII often
be sunk to a depth of 200 or $50 feet In
dications are that even deeper mining VIII
be done in the future for borings MADE
throughout the district show rlcner
deposit of ore at 500 feet than at any
other depth. while ore has been encoun-
tered at depth of more than 1000 feet
IL Is of common occurrence for some one
to come along after a gopher miner
has abandoned a diggings and by sinking
a deep shaft In the same spot make a
rich strike. The extent Of the district IS
constantly increasing as development
work proceeds. II is not at all certain
that a much wider field than is now re-
garded as the proved territory viii not
be opened up, although it win take many
years to anywhere near develop the neid
included in the present agreed limits.
Recent development work has been made
IN the territory north of the former
boundaries of the field and good results
have followed prospecting in the oirec-
ton of the known fields of great rich
ness. but present inaccessibility In north
ern Arkansas. It is a belief held by
many that when the Indian Territory IS
open to prospecting there may be found
an excellent zinc field In the dlstrlct al
jacent to Missouri
ssTTnlfke the mining camps OF the west,
the land above the zinc and lead or
southwest Missouri is good farming

ence TO find a fine farm with growing
crops from beneath which great treasures
of minerals are being taken. Further
more. the district is on the edge of
great fruit region of southwest Missouri
and northern Arkansas, where some OF
the finest apples of the world are grown
and where Strawberries and other small
fruits grow to such perfection and IN
such abundance that fruit express trains
are run during the season TO rush the
precious product to the northern mar
kets. This Joplin section is in the ia
NOUS Ozark plateau or uplift and has an
elevation of abouut 100 feet above the
level of the sea- This gives it climate

Mccullough Bros Fruit and Produce
Letter.

The extreme warm weather that has
prevailed during the last ten days has
materially retarded the consumption of
fruit and produce in general
Prospects for watermelons both as to de-
mand and prices is very f1attering as the
glut has been cleaned up and our market
at this time shows to be in a very healthy
state. No better opportunity has been pre-
scented this season on these goods and we
advise liberal shipments.
The market has been and continues
to be in a state of fluctuation on peaches.
The quality of stock now arriving is not
as good as had been expected, either
as to size or color. The famous Elbertas
and Bellies of Georgia win begin to move
next week and we anticipate good prices
on good stock.
Cantaloupes are not bringing express
charges.
A limited supply of early varieties OF
grapes and apples are now being received
and selling at satisfactory prices.
Demand for bananas Is very quiet with
stock going slow even at. low prices.
The lemon market has shown some
weakness also at points of importation.
However, as yet our local market has not
been effected.
A few tomatoes selling at low prices.
Beans, cabbage and roasting ears all in
good demand at fancy prices. Too many
new Irish potatoes arriving to sell to adj
vantage. Prices are lower with the de-
mand sluggish. Very little doing In old
Irish potatoes. Onions are also plentiful
and cheap.
Indications during first part of last week
was that poultry was going 10 be scarcer
and higher; to the contrary, however, lib
eral receipts have made it impossible to
request or obtain fancy prices.
Eggs selling cheap. However the de-
mand is quite strong, and we anticipate
some advance in the next few days.
There is very little demand for any
thing but strictly fancy butter.
Some few sweet potatoes now being
marketed at fancy prices.

Remarkable as llas been the growth OF

NEW ORLEANS, July 12.-In the spot cot

Futures were comparatively steady. Liver
pool came in this morning at advance OF

side was offset by general rain report from the

Murphy 8 co.,s cotton Lettsr.

NEW YORK, July 12.-There was de-
cided Improvement in the weather along
the Atlantic coast this morning, where a
storm was moving southwark rms
brought heavy rains in the southeastern
coast OF Georgia, amounting to over
inches in some places. In addition to this
rainfall, predictions favored showers else
where so that the chances OF an I'M
proved weather condition in the region
east of the Mississippi seemed good.
While Liverpool prices were some 3 points
higher and spot cotton 1-16d higher, on
sales of 5000 bales, the weather had
depressing influence at the start. Prices
lost 10 points on liquidation by those
who bought early in the week on dry
weather and feared rains over Sunday.
The east gulf states need rain badly and
as the storm appeared to be moving
northward, the outlook for relief there
seemed somewhat uncertain. In the event
of general soaking rains east of the river
conditions would be improved materially
and the future market is expected to be
easier. While abundant rains were re-
ported along the coast, the interior re-
ceived but light showers, as heretofore
this week.

HOG AT MISTLEToE

the fact that the hog was laughing ana
growing fat playing the role of calf.
The hog milks the cows the same as

has to be taken that the hog does not get

more milking needed.
