new curtains for the windows of her
home.
The Seanor home fronts along the
Pennsylvania railroad. Red cui .ins

them for danger signals; and trains
were frequently brought to stop.
The railroad company insisted that
the curtains be removed. but Mrs.
Seanor replied that the curtains coulo
only be replaced by the company fur
nishing green ones. This was done,
and now the trains no longer stop be-.

To Prohibit child Labor.

The Des Moines Women's club has
led off with action in cooperation with
the w. G. T. U. and the State Fedora
ton of Labor Of Iowa In favor Of a law
to prohibit child labor in Iowa, and to
establish juvenile courts. Iowa has
dropped from first to second place
among the states in which children be-
tween 10 and IA years Of age are unable
to read and write. This condition the
organizations mentioned ascribe di-
rectly to the growing tendency to re-
quire labor Of children in this state.

better than looked for, at least they
showed that on the other side, as here,
nobody cares to undertake operations
on the short side as yet, and 1t is a
question when they will be since the
movement fails to increase faster. OF
course we shall have plenty of cotton
moving before great while, but it is
very doubtful whether it will move so
freely before next month as to have
any great influence in the market.
Mills seem willing to pay full prices
for all the spots they can get, and if
spots are worth 12Ac, other months
cannot yield much. The bureau report
tomorrow won't count for much, ac-
cording to recent expectation, having
been largely discounted. In fact the
idea is pretty general that the crop
movement will be very thin and all
other surroundings of little conse-
quence until the first week of October
when the frost period will be near.
Prices weakened after the opening,
September made a good advance, and
then eased off some hammering met
with little success. The weather to-
day was generally fair. Gables were
steady at 4 to decline. Yarns at
Manchester quiet and firm and cloths
quiet. Port receipts were estimated
at 600 against 1900 last year. Houston
expects tomorrow $50 to 450, against
5,734 last year.

again on the rise. To-day's opening
was firm at 5SAc sales, AT casks, and
the closing firm at sac, sales, 248 casks,
After the closing sales were made upon
considerable scale at 541ac. The
demand appears to be from all sources,
and entirely sufficient to absorb the
offerings. The receipts do not show
any material increase, and the con-
tinued indications of a moderate crop
tends to impart strength to the mar
ket. The foreign element are taking a
leading hand in the market, which
means that the demand on the other
side is keeping pace we'll with the
wholesome domestic demand. The re-
ceipts were 1,159 casks, and the exports
none.
ROSINS-The rosin market closed
firm, with no sales officially report
ed at either call. Business was done
on private terms, however, and at

IRENE rise of 2h, and three or four OF
the other Changers responded to the
extent of a point. Prices eased off be-
fore the close, which was unsteady, The
afternoon demonstration seemed to be
directed against the short interest In
Atchison, especially, and In the other
Changers incidentally. The operations
on the advance were conducted by sew
eral well known speculative operators,
whose return to the street from Vaca-
ton absences was thus signalized.
The uncertainty over the corn crop
has been the motive for putting out
considerable short lines in the Grang-
ers. and this has been reflected for some
time by the strength of the borrowing
demand for Atchison in the loan crowd.
During the early depression Metropol-
itan Street Railway was conspicuously
weak. on account of the current I'M
nression that the dividend on the stock
ruara nteed by the securities company
is not being fully earned. There was
a report also of a 500, 900 decrease in
the net earnings for August of United
States Steel The relatively small IN
crease in Pennsylvania net earnings
for July compared with the gross earn
ings, and the sharp decrease in net for
the lines west of Pittsburg and Erie
were unfavorably commented upon.
The money market has become al
most as nominal an affair as the stock
market. Bills against future ship
ments of cotton are beginning to make
their appearance in the exchange mar
xet as first time. The fate of the corn

Ware and LeIand's Cotton Letter.

New York, Sept. 2.-Gambling oper-
atoms in the New York cotton mar
ket are on the largest scale ever known
in the history of speculation in cotton.
Not only is September being manipu-
lated by the New Orleans clique, but
the representa- tives of the New Eng
land spinning crowd in this market
last spring is said to be long an enor-
nous quantity of October cotton. Ru-
NOR places the holdings by this inter
est at 10000 or 200 900 bales, and the
situation is getting to be an exciting
as we'll as a spectacular one Bulling
cotton on the eve of a new crop, a
crop that promises to be the largest
ever grown and bulling cotton in the
spring of the year on a moderate crop
are two different propositions. We
are frank to admit that the situation
has many elements of strength and
| that the operation in question may
turn out as successful as did the May
deal by the same party last spring.
But prices are very much higher at
the present time and the accumula-
tions of an enormous line at 10hc is
| a very different proposition from the
accumulation at SAc The base of
operations is therefore different as re-
CARDS the level while the season is
lust beginning instead of closing.
Everyone is interested in what the
bureau will give as the average con-
dition of the crop tomorrow and while
uncertainty exists no one looks for
a material change. A decline in con-
dition below rs would no doubt have
| a strengthening influence on the mar
ket. On the other hand a decline of
only a point or any Improvement would
result in lower prices. Until more
cotton comes in from the new crop
however, operations on the short side
should take place on extreme advances
only, and be of cautious character.
We cannot advise the purchase of De-
| cember or January above 10 cents a
pound on the present crop outlook.
