NEW YORK, June 24.-Cotton opened leg 20 points higher for the old crop and 2m3 lower for the crop The market was ac- tive. Cables were higher in sympathy with our advince of yesterday. The weather in the South was seasonable. There was no rain of importance and moisture confined to only few stations. The temperature in the Gulf states was good deal higher and the Indi- cations were for showers over the greater part Of the belt tonight or tomorrow. Reports From the Carolinas to leading local news paper were very bullish On the whole the crop is not going ahead it should near July. It Is admitted that the next four weeks Will prove the most critical in the development or the crop ard fl will depend whether the trade will turn bearish assume a still more buIlish attitude. There fs no reason why present prices should not continue to rule under good crop conditions and the new crop months may advance to the level of the old

NEW YORK. June 24-The cotton market opened easy at an advance of 6Gi2 points on the near. months. while the later positions were from points higher to points lower.

c. '. Pierce 6 Co.'s Cotton Letter. rBy Private Wire Efpm c W. Lee q Col


 NEW YORK. June 24.-It seems a peculiar thing for a commission house to refuse busi- ness where there Is the commission at the other end. But notwithstanding the fact that we are as anxious to make money as any one in the business we perfectly frank to say that we would rather not trade for anyone in this market. Of course a certain amount of trading must be done. We refer mainly to new business and buying and sell ing without any definite idea of just what to do next Sabe scalping operations with such fluctuations we are having now are dangerous in the extreme. It Is seldom that they return enough money to pay for the risk. And as for undertaking to make invest ment in cotton at the present inflated price that is out of the question. There seems to be very little doubt that our friends in New Orleans intend to control the situation until cotton begins to come in or as long as they are able to. This makes a very disagreeable market to trade in. Take yes- terday, for instance. After the bureau report the new crops broke sharply. simply slid of without any chance to sell. Then July and cember and January ran up IS or 20 -0ints. This morning they repeated the operation af- ter early decline running back to 10 cents. Now there is not very much to buy the crop months at the moment. And yet any one can the danger in the short side. We would rather let the market take It's course for a time and would only buy good breaks below 9h cents for distant positions. There is but one outcome to the present market 1t may happen over night, in broad day light. but some day there will be the inevi- table crash and those having long interest in the market will not be happy.

States government at Washington
that it has read, pondered and put in
practice the volume of specifications
under which it signed a contract TO
build Battleship No. 20, as the Yer
mont is officially known-is a good
example of the exigencies under which
modern war vessel is put together
Very likely, if a visitor should pick up
that bolt after it had been actually
manufactured and was waiting to be
used in the vessel it would seem much
! like any other bolt; but the govern
ment inspector would be able to point
out the differences, verify them by
measuring the angles, and show the
astonished visitor that not only had
the bolt been cast to order for that
particular vessel but, very likely, that
a machine had been made to order to
cast the bolt. For an ordinary vessel
of commerce the bolts would have
been bought ready made in open mar
ket. In a war veS-el every part of its
mechanism, even the smallest. is de-
signed to have specific value in in
creasing her strength and fighting
power, and the government therefore
iscrutinises with impartial severity the
plans for the great marine engine ;
that must drive the vessel day and
night; for the ammunition hoists that
are to keep her guns supplied and
busy during possible engagement;
for the mechanism that is to aim the
guns and protect the vessel from the
recoil of their tons of explosive; the
bolts that are to hold her steel plates
! together; or the little wheel and track
that runs a sliding door between the
captains cabin and his morning bath
tub. The smallest plan in those neces.
! sary to put the Vermont finally into
commission is the carefully studied
and exactly described drawing of d
! future hammock hook

into hull and engines and electrical ar
rangements, and the work of the yard

two departments start their drawing

engines and dynamos in toto, making
rather less than the number of plans
made by the department of hulls.
These plans, moreover, are always
subject to change by the government,

perts. Every change is recorded on

chain is the easiest thing possible to
make, yet it does add a decidedly
fetching charm to summer gown,
Wider ribbon treated in the same way
makes a pretty trimming to head the

fashion again, and they are seen in
all sorts of pretty, new designs. But
few stiff linen cuffs are worn. To
wear with a white shirt-waist there
are smart-looking cuffs of white
linen embroidered in colors in a rather
large conventional design. They fasten
with big button-merely a big pearl

elaborate buttons which are so much

No Soap Fad.

The mo soap on the face" fad would
win more adherents if so many of its
advocates did not carry on their faces
more or less blackheads-the very
thing that cold water and mo soap
are supposed to Danish. There are
without doubt some skins so tender
that a smart scrub with a brush,
warm water and soap roughens and
breaks them, says the New York
Tribune. There are also many young
women living in the country who have
charming compilations, notwithstand-
ing that cold water-and hard water
at that's their only cosmetic. 1t
is plain, however, that for most wo-
men who live in a large town where
dust and CRIME are rampant soap in
some form is necessity if they would
keep their faces clean. Plentiful bath
ing with cold water after the face
bath with complexion brush and soap
is a necessity, but taken by itself it
generally works mischief.

fit as you go along. Every plate OF
unbending steel, of which no two are
exactly similar, has its individual
place in the ship, every rivet hole has
its individual place in the steel plate
and every plate must therefore have
been carefully planned on paper before
it becomes part of the ships construc,
ton. The armor plan of a warship is
therefore one of the longest tasks o.
a shiryard's draughtsmen. Other large
and more complicated plans are those
that provide for the working of gun
mounts, ammunition hoists, and other
important sections of her inner
mechanism. And in this respect no
two vessels are alike, even twin war
ships being like other twins in that
they look alike but usually act diff.
ferently. Still another series of deli.
cately complicated plans are those
that provide for the arrangement of
tubes, wires and other means of con.
Meeting every part of the ship with
every other part, for not only must
space be economical to the finest
practical point but every part of the
system must be readily accessible in
case of necessary repairs at short
notice.

chanical drawing, that is, whereby the

Make Baby Comfortable.

Don't make baby's dress too tight
says a writer in Good Housekeeping
Many baby frets and cries simply be
cause the little arms are restricted
or the neckband is too tight. By
making baby's first clothes large you
will save yourself much extra work
and many fretful days. My baby wore
her first dresses until she wore them
out, some being in use when she was
2A years old. No change was neces-
sary save in length of skirt. Recent
ly saw a big, overgrown baby of G
months whose yoke met only at one
button. | asked the mother if | might
loosen the clothes. l did so and found
that the sleeves, made for a small
baby, now cut into the fat arms. The
baby at once stopped fretting.

Perfumes of the Queen.

Queen Alexandra's laces, linens and
silks are perfumed by a method which
almost any woman can copy, says the
Washington Star. The drawers in
which they are kept are lined with
white paper, strewn with rose petals.
On this is placed layer of the
fabrics to be scented, over that h
layer of rose leaves, and so on in al
formation until the drawer is filled.
Over all sheet of tissue paper is
spread. AT the end of tyenty-four
hours everything in the drawer will
have a delicate perfume that will
cling to it for long time. Perfumes
are believed to make clothes and
linen much more wholesome Flowers
