industry of table syrup making from the sugar cane of the Southern States has languished in swaddling clothes which are exactly one hundred years old and has determined to rejuvenate the indus try. if possible, by a good example and q practical illustration of how the trick should be turned.
 This model syrup factory has been plan ned by Dr. H. w. Wiley Chief of the Chemistry Bureau of the Department of Agriculture. assisted by pr. c. l.. Spen- cer, the highest salaried sugar expert in America. Contracts for its construction are now being executed, and work on it is expected to begin at once The plant is to be located at WayCross. Ga, a small town in the southeastern corner of the State. and when completed is to become the syrup school of the whole South.
 Great expectations are indulged in by Secretary Wilson and his official family as to the result of this experimental fac tory. Since the introduction of sugar cane into the United States it's Cultiva- ton for the purpose of manufacturing ta- hle syrups has been extended until it is now practised over large areas of South crn Texas, nearly the whole of the State .of Louisiana, portions of Southern Mis- sissipi and Alabama. the southern part of Georgia and South Carolina and through out Florida.
 Nearly all of the methods which have been employed for this purpose have been of crude nature and involve no accu- rate knowledge of the character of the cane employed, the amount of sugar which it contains or the chemical composition of the product secured. Notwithstanding this, the product obtained has been of high character and the appreciation of it's value for the breakfast ale and for cooking purposes has grown until it is now recognized food product throughout the whole of the region mentioned and in many other parts of the country to which 1t has been sent

NEW ORLEANS. July I6.-The sensational advance on the near months in the foreign market was attributed to the improvement in Manchester and exporters buying freely. The opening of our market this morning was in conformity with the better results finally re- corded in the English market with near months there advanced at the time some 40 points with the distant options practically unchanged. It is to be noted that when any outside buying of any importance comes into the market prices are advanced with the greatest ease. due to the existing large short interest. The total rise today during the early hours in the local market was 6 points nthe near and l2 the late months Advices from the South show vanishing stocks with prices held at top figures. Again conditions have not changed enough in the South to a full supply to the mills of the world that will want early cotton The majority of the mills may close. as they now threaten to do, in the absence of supplies but the consumption of manufac- tured goods goes on just the same and in the end there will be twice the demand from the mills for replenishment of stocks. Later ca- bles accounted for the firm closing of the Liver pool market lue to the continent sweeping the market of desirable grades. This character Of information also assists in stimulating the local market and promoting the further ad- vance that was recorded The eagerness of mills to secure cotton rather than close was further proved today in the increased sales of spots at Liverpool. which amounted to 10000 bales. Marked confidence is still expressed by the bulls as to their position. In fact. there have been many conversions from the short to the bull side. Closing hours witnessed a raid by brokers usualy representing the Wall Street bear contingent selling the market down on September. For traders, however, the concessions is the course to be recom- mended

 NEW YORK. July Ie.-December cotton re- acted to 9.52 and October 9.72 before the close. Liverpool advanced sharply in an un- explained fashion. crop news continued satis- factory and there was nothing in the situation to account for the sudden turn in the market But none the less prices did advance and there was an active demand for cotton in evidence. We hardly think aditional evidences of the advisability and profit to be obtained from buy ing October below o% cents and December and January below eLc are needed There is a steady stream of buying orders executed on important feature of this buying is the fact that spinners are picking up a great deal of cotton. If prices fail to recede under such sat- isfactory weather surroundings have had lately 1t is plain to see that very sharp advance will take place should crop news change in the least respect. When the low figures were published in June 1t gen. erally believed that July showing would reveal an Improvement When the July figures ap- peared there every reason to look for a return to the 9L-cent level in the future mar ket Now weather has been good that the next report should be extremely favorable in its comparison with last year. But very much doubt whether much of decline in prices can be expected owing to the fact that crop always deteriorates during August. That is. ment uuon which to base selling operations. For this reason we strongly recommend the purchase of Fall positions on declines at pres ent time. though there is in sight imme- dIate prospect of substantial advance. But under the conditions existing this year that advance may come at the most unexpected moment.

NEW YORK, July I6-Cotton futures in the local market today opened firm in tone with first prices at an advance of 4d20 points The advces frop' the English market more favorable than had been looked for. while the private cables told of big demand for spot cotton at the higher range of prices. The new crop position displayed especial strength at times today and there talk that the bulls indicated were starting afresh to bull these options. Advices from New Orleans. however, stated that there was nothing in the situ- ation. but added that the near months were still subject to the dctations of the profess sional interests. There were many rumors on the floor today to the effect that the stock of cotton had here has been placed with spnners here and abroad and naturally the short inter- est was disposed to get under cover. The de- mand from this source at times was quite substantial The bear party. however. made its presence felt and now and then tried hard to make the market decline. but there were a number of good buyers on all recessions and under the circumstances for the most part there a pretty good feeling. The outside business was good and up to the close senti- ment was very uncertain.

Subsequently fresh buying superin- duced an additional advance of e@i4 on the new crop months. Later in the session though. an absence of buying orders and general de- sire to realize occasoned recession of I2@ l4 from the top on new crop months. making the net gain 43 points on July 8 August. iS on September and 4 on the other months. Generally fair weather has prevailed through out the belt and fair weather Is predicted for tonight and Friday except that scattered show CTS will probably occur the northern and eastern points of the district. Liverpool cables today were all bullish and 1t is claimed that favorable opinion exists there owing to the small stock of yarns and better demand for goods The firmness of the old crop months really supernduced the steadiness all along the line during the early part of the day, but the fear of a continuance of favorable weather, the nominal demand for spots in America and the possibility of financial complications in Wall Street caused the break in the afternoon. Sentiment continues very optimistic: still un- der existing circumstances think it best for the present to be conservative and await developments before entering into new engage ments.

Many New York houses advised their strong customers here to buy on heavy margins for another wide upward movement, buying on this advice gave the market much additional strength.
