Ambulance Not Needed.

A horny-handed negro boarded a
Market street car about o'clock the
other evening, and found a seat by
pushing other passengers aside and
crowding his way through, says the
Philadelphia Times. After riding a
few blocks, he emitted shrek, clasp
ed his hands over his heart and leaped
from the seat Another shrek, and he
was writhing on the floor and groan-
ing. The passengers became excited,
and the conductor asked if there were
a physician on board.
81 am one" said a bearded, natty
chap, stepping forward. please stand

He stopped and began to unfasten
the grooming mans coat and vest the

pain.

in disgust, as he withdrew his hand

A Far Superior Article.

In London recently an American,
boasting of the superiority of his coun-
try, was interrupted by an Englishman
who said:
There's one thing in which this
country surpasses America. You never
saw on the other side of the Atlantic
any fog that could match the one
which hangs over London tonight"
Fog! Fog!" came the unhesitat-
ing reply of the irate American. why,
tits is nothing compared with some Of
the fogs we have around New York
harbor. Sometimes the fog is so thick
around there that it's common thing
for the captains Of the ferry boats to
put on extra crews simply to pump
the fog out of the cabins. Why, there
is a corporation organizing in New
Jersey right now to can American fog
ard supply the British people v-i:h
the real thing"

False brands OF dairy products have
always played a large part In frauds
perpetrated in the sale OF butter and
cheese. It Is of interest to know that
a bill to prevent such practices is now
before the National Congress and
stands a good chance to become
law. 1t Is known as the Sherman
Bill" and is for the purpose of pre-
venting the branding of butter and
cheese otherwise than from the ter
ritory In which they are made. Thus,
at the present time, "Elgin butter"
comes from all parts OF the country.
II any one section OF country builds
up a reputation for good products,
other localities at once begin stealing
that reputation and profiting by it.
This is q mean kind Of robbery that
needs to be done away with. In the
end It brings into disrepute the
products from all localities, for It
causes doubt NJ to the value OF any
kind of brand. In New York the
state department has been trying for
years to execute laws relative to this
matter, but has always found the non-
existence of national law In this re.
gard a great obstacle in its path.

aaxter A co.,. Cotton Letter.

New York August 25.-Early cables were up to expectation, and the bullish feeling in the local market was appar- entiy on the increase. The boil weevil scare Is helping the market and 1t was expected that the weekly bureau report during the afternoon would intensity the feeling in favor of cotton There were no signs of cotton moving to market in con- siderable quantities for some time In fact shorts were showing no little anx- lety. The month Is about closed with re- oeipts of new cotton amounting to noth- ing worthy of mention, whereas the re- ceipts so far last season were quite heavy, Of course there will be plenty of cotton later on to satisfy immediate re- quirements but the movement will have to keep up on a liberal scale to prevent frequent scares and big spurts. Early prices were to 15 points higher, after which there was a reaction of to 10 points on profit takings The weather news was very good, especially as to the temperature, which was very high in Texas Port receipts were estimated at 100 against 10,6S1 last year. A large amount of cotton reached here from Liverpool The bureau report was fully as bullsh as expected and the effect was to harden the market and arrest de- cline which seemed to be pending when the report appeared. Cables were steady at to Il net advance.

,LIQUE BUYING A FEATURE

New York. August 25.-The cotton mar ket was strong at an advance of to 1i points. and ruled very active during the entire session. with the exception of Au- gust. which was dull and neglected. and which fuctuated within between 12 .21 and 12.30, closing at ,2s or net points high CT. The balance of the list was generally firm. Just after the opening there was a momentary setback under realizing, but prices soon resumed their upward course, and at midday were forced still higher by the weekly report of the weather bu- reau, which proved quite as bullish as had been expected.
 The initial gains were due to a contin- uation of the short scare noted yester- day which this morning was accelerated by firm cables and apprehensions as to the character of the weekly bureau re- port. In addition to this the clique bought very aggressively, taking block of 5000 prices. This in connection with the light movement and the continued talk of damage as a result of boil weevil in Texas
 
 also encouraged some demand for outside account, leading to more active market than has been expected.
 Since the exciting times of last month the prices of the session occurred late In the afternoon, and at that level the &C., tive months showed net gains of from 2l to 35 points, with September selling at 11.35; October, 10 50; December, 10. 80, and January, Il .31. This level attracted heavy realizing, and just before the close the market sold off sharply, losing a matter of from to 9 points, and was finally barely steady, net IS to 26 points higher on the nominal crop positions. Sales were estimated at 900,000 bales.
 There were further special sales report ed amounting to 31s7 bales to spinners. On the other hand 7404 bales were received here from Liverpool and s19 from other sources, making the stock accordingly running 1F,s51 against 149,6l6 bales yes- terday.

By c. W. Lee & Co.
 New Orleans, August 25.-Private cables from the English market reflect dispo- stion on the part of transatlantic oper- ators to resist any further advance in the winter options. This resistance however, does not appear in the official price ca- bles, as the advice registered in Liverpool today answered all requirements. The real truth of the mater Is that the statis- tical position of that market will hardly permit of any ve,y great degree of delay on the part of splnners in anticipating their requirements. Manchester cables today advise moro business t.olng in cloths and yarns hardening In the Amer ican dry goods markets q slightly iin- proved tone is noted Tn the inquiries at first hands. Jobbers eontlnue active with a complement of buyers. While last weeks weather bureau reported increased activity of the boil weevil in Texas, the report issued today was practically the first official utterance confirming crop de- terioration and sets at rest any further doubt concerning the validity of the pri- vate accounts that have been in circula- ton, by the statement that the Texas crop has deteriorated greatly during the week and the yield promises to be consd- erably below the average, except in the northern portion of the state, where an average yield Is still possible, and that cotton has suffered materially from ex- cessive rains and lack of sunshine over a large portion of the central and eastern belt. The fact that any further decline in condition. considering the extreme late ness will cause the abandonment of inc idea that a bumper crop can be expected, in which case the question becomes one of the price necessary to curtail consufGp- ton. According to all theories a reaction after the advance of the past two days would be in order However all indca- tions point to higher prices and we be- lieve in purchases on good breaks, the only feature lacking for a pronounced ad- vice is, as we stated yesterday, the ab- sence of outside buying in volume.
