"THE OLD SCRATCH"
How the Evil One Came to be POpu-
larly Known as 1.-THE Old Scratch"

One of the many familiar names OF
his satanic majesty is THE ola
Scratch" 1t is undoubtedly due to
the fact that scratching is so disa-
greeable that people thought 1t no
worse than the evil one. A scalp full
of dandruff keeps one scratching all
the time; not only disagreeable, but
considered very inelegant in polite So
cietY-as it should be-because one
ought to keep the scalp so clean that
it would not itch. To cure the scalp
of dandruff effectively, use Newbro
Herpicide. 1t kills the jerm that Gre
ates the dandruff, which is preliminary
to falling hair and finally, badness
No other hair preparation kills the

THE PRICE OF COTTON.

Spinners who have been holding out
against the high price of cotton think
ing they would be able to get cotton
at a lower price later in the season,
are likely to suffer a severe disap-
pointment. The indications are that
the price is going to advance pretty
steadily until it is considerably higher
than it is at present.
In this market there was much ex-
element yesterday. Heavy buying or
ders were received. This, it was said.
was due to the announcement of sew
eral houses in this country and Europe
that they were unable to fill their con-
tracts for the delivery of cotton, on
account of the high price. 1t seems
that these contracts called for many
thousands of bales. OF course the price
hardened here at once, as it doubt
less did in other markets. There was
a statement to the effect that for one
lot of 800 bales five-eights of a cent
a pound more was offered yesterday
morning than the price at which it
could have been bought Wednesday
afternoon. There is considerable cotton
at this port, but it cannot be bought
at the quoted price. The owners of
it are confident that the price is go
ing to be higher and they have given
their commission merchants orders to
hold it.
In view of the fact that the receipts
are as large as they were last year,
In, co. t In 10 oboJ III no
amount of cotton that is being held
back in the country isn't as great as
some of the cotton experts seem to
think it is. Cotton seems to be reach
ing the ports about as fast as it is
prepared for market. No doubt in some
of the towns there are parties who
have bought actual cotton on specu-
lation and are holding it. but if the
crop is no larger than it is believed
to be it is coming to market even
faster than last seasons crop did.
In this market middling cotton can
not be bought for less than 121sc a
pound, and there is no eagerness to
sell at that price. AS to what the price
will be before the end of the season
there is. of course a variety Of opin-
ions. but there doesn't seem to be any
difference Of opinion on the question as
TO whether or not It will go higher.
II is agreed that II will The question
Is. how much higher? VIII It go to
lac. as some OF the bull leaders have
predicted? No body Is trying to corner
the market. The upward movement OF
the price is due to the anxiety OF the
spinners 70 get enough cotton 10 keep
their spindles going.

There does not seem to be very
great deal of what Postmaster General
Payne called "hot air" in the reports
of Messrs. Bonaparte and Conrad and
of Assistant Postmaster General Bris-

report is particularly strong. 1t calls

assured of a welcome. While it is not expected
that the movement to form a compact organi-

in the formation of organization including
