Perrin of 223 West Four teenth Avenue as he held up to view a swol- len forefnger, blue at the nail ''I thought I was gone and l suppose I would have gone iF hadn't run across Harry Davis, the snake charmcr.'
 Young Perrin Is employed as COW puncher'' at Sinners ranch forty miles north of Den yer. On Thursday he bitten by large snake. He tells of his experience like this:
 Il was riding down the road and saw the snake lying riGht in my path. I got down off my horse and stamped on the snake tin thought il was dead. My next notion was to skin it, for it was a biz ono and different from any had ever seen before l took hold of it and quick as a flash it nailed me in this forehnger.
 T shook the snake and tried to get loose. but it hung on till swung it around my head and popped 1t like a whip. It flew away of tn the grass. and then I looked at my finger and found that 1t bleeding considerably. l went to the ranch-house and one of the boys put some salve on it.
 Next day my hand and my whole arm were swollen terribly and it ached clear up to my shoulder. The boys said had better come to town and see a doctor and | did 80 The doc tor said he couldn't do anything for me un- less could tell him what kind of a snake 1t was that bit me and didn't know

July i3.-Lverpool advices were discouraging. consequently our market opened 80 points lower July, 5 on August and e@lS down on the new crop months Li- euidation set in shortly after and occasioned an additional break of 3o94o oh the new crop positions. About this time fresh buying on reports of the boil weevil spreading to northern sections of Texas and advices of rains doing damage in various sections causing rank growth of grass superinduced an advance of 25 points from the bottom on July 10 on Au- gust l6 on September nd IS on the other months. Rea1zirg near the close was instru- mental in establishing a recession of 4G6 points from the top. making the net loss 10 beB and 2G3 the other options. Scattered showers have occurred throughout the South. but no general rains have falen during the past 24 hours. It Is officially predicted that generally fair weather will prevail throughout the belt. although showers may occur Tuesday over Arkansas Southern Louisiana and the Atlantics. The weather on the whole has been favorable for the growth of the plant during the past week. Still operators expect an un- favorable weekly weather report tomorrow and this had much to do with the steadiness appa- ent today The easier feeling in the near crop
 months is attributed to the weakening of the statistical situation, the nominal demand for spots and to the concerted action of European and American spinners resorting to short time There also seems to be some uneasness about financial affairs in Wall Street New ertheIess as long the old crop months are fairly held there will be no decided decline. Therefore under these conditions with the many vicfssitudes that the new crop must go through we think the Winter months are 6 purchase on all sharp break.
