and then drew a lesson from the par

The next Sunday another minister
came. He, too, decided that the prOdi-
gal son episode offered the best op-
pOrtunity for a discourse. and he used
the story as a basis of his talk. So did
the other ten preachers, and for y
successive Sundays the inmates of the
reformatory heard with patient forti-
tude of the young man who left home,
who ate husks with the swine, and
returned to the paternal roof and
caused the slaughter of the fatted
calf.
Then the chaplain returned home
He had little time TO prepare a sermon,
so he fell back on the prOdigal son, a
theme with which he was familiar, and
which was always appropriate. He
did not know that his listeners had
been treated to a dozen dissertations
on the subject, but the roar Of laugh

 NEW ORLEANS. Aug. 27.-Liverpool was disposed to turn deaf to the discourag ing crop news contained in yesterdays Gov ernment report but American operators evil deTitly in mood to have opinions on this point shaped abroad and the determined buying at home caused a display of steadiness in the English market and deliv- cries scored advance of points. Spots were unchanged with a moderate demand and sales of 1000 bales. Trading here grew de- cidedly active. Initial transactions were in the nature of long realizing influenced by pfedic- tions of cooler temperatures and rain in the western belt, but the effect of this action was promptly dispelled when 1t became known that intense heat had prevailed in Texas and the territories yesterday without any rain in evil dence. Prices worked up in rapid manner and the advance followed by wide fuc- tustions a result of promiscuous realizing and fresh speculative buying. though a steady undertone ruled throughout the session. Clos ing quotations are point higher for August. 6 points higher for September and lo4 points up other months. Some division of opinion regarding the stability of the advance is now obvious, owing to the fact that in several instances the idea is entertained that the gradually increasing movement will soon be regarded with more seriousness and unless the trade demand is ample fin quantity. it is doubtful If speculation will manifest sufficient strength to sustan prices against the regular offerings. There is certain amount of toGtc in this view, but with the probability of the monthly Government report emphasizing all previous advices about crop damage. there Is no guarantee that spinners will remain idle or that the country will press sales

Murphy & Co.'S unc.) Cotton Letter


 NEW YORK, Aug. 27.-Early prices for cot ton suffered a setback of 2qio points, due to the Government forecast of local rains in the Atlantic and Gulf States. including East Texas With the exception of Atlanta and Chatta nooga. where light rains fell, there was no moisture in the South, according to the early weather reports. The character of Liverpool cables was a distinct disappointment. Gen erally 'the trade looked f0r a good showing because of very poor Government report is- sued yesterday, but it evident that Liver pool was not disposed to construe the report as indicating a poor .rop or was engaged in manipulation to prevent an advance in the interests of certain leading operators who have been more or less shaping the market for some time. Summed up, it may be said that Texas In opinion, is in bad shape and may materially improve in the event of carly rains, but belief is that the chances of a bumper crop out of the question In some instances the early decline was wholly recov- cred before the expiration of the first hour, mainly because of later dry Texas forecast. Commission houses good buyers today and in the cessation of Liverpool selling the market moved rapidly upward. Shorts hast ened to cover and by noon prices showed 9n IS points advance immense transactions.

 The market for contracts was active through out the day, a notable feature of the trading being the decided increase in Southern tn- terior of6ers placed here for execution. Com mission firms have their hands pretty well filled with business of this character now New York is also operating freely at this end of the line. The opening today was some. what reaotive in character. the figures on call falling of 7d8 points, but the depression was only momentary: A rush of buying or ders quickly changed the course of values and the figures began to climb tn manner startling to the bear element. There were numerous sharp downward fuctuetions caused by occasional furries of realizing sales. but the under tone very strong and losses were quickly recovered A. the close the board showed net gains of point on August. 6 on September and loGis points on the other months.

NEW ORLEANS. Aug. 27.-As Liverpool ad- vices were not encouraging, our market opened 7gS points lower but subsequently, advanced 27G29 points on the absence of rains in the Southwest and shorts covering generally. Later in the season realizing occasioned easi- ness, making the net gain l point on August, 6 on September and logl2 on the other months. Showers occurred over night in the eastern portion of the cotton region. while gen erally fair weather prevailed over the central and western portions. There no material change In the high temperature existing throughout the Southern States. Showers will probably occur tonight and Thursday in the northeastern section of Texas and local rains are indicated during the same time in Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Arkansas, Mississippi, Louisiana and Tennessee. Shorts have covered fire ely and therefore the buying power will be dependent principally on investment buying, placing the market in weaker position, es- pecially spinners show disposition to take hold For the moment. however, with a continuance of high temperature and the ab- sence of general rains, there will be ten dency to enhance values further in view of the general anticipation of very unfavorabe bureau report Sept. 3rd.
