TO SHAVE OFF A SPREE.
Physician Says Food Will Check an
 Appetite for Rum.

Washington Post.
 "A matter that cannot be too sharply impressed upon the minds of the large and increasing class of men who have the habit of going off on periodical sprees, [" said Washington physician who has had an unusually extensive experience in the treatment of alcoholism. lis that a peri- odical drinker. or dipsomaniac. rarely, if ever, has any desire to take the disas- trous first drink when he has food in his stomach. It is the hungry 'periodical' as We call them, who yields to the overmas- tering desire to absorb that bad first drink and thus finds himself embarked upon big spree. The advice that I in- variably give to my dpsomaniac patient -and grieve to say that there are many of that type in Westinghouse to rush to the nearest eating place when they feel that overwhelming craving for a strong drink attacking them and partake of any sort of food that is the most quickly pre- pared. bowl of milk and crackers will serve as well as anything else.
 Tt Is not only the partaking of the food. but 1t Is the lime for deiiberation which the action gives them-the time to think over the trouble and bedevilment they will inevitably fall into in case they yield to the inclination to take the first drink. And when the dipsomaniac walks out or the eating place. with normal nourishment in his stomach the abnor- nal desire for strong drink has disap- peared-it is only the hard. daily drinkers who can even think. without nausea, of drinking liquor on a full stomach. and I am not speaking of that class.
 A great many of the dipsomaniacs I have treated have been government men. who, after comparatively light break fasts. still lighter luncheons, and close application to work all day. have started for their homes hungry, nervous, Jagged out: Al the time when they are due for their periodical spree this state is dan gerous for them. They are not in shane

NEW YORK, June 25 The Liverpool ad- vices were disappointing b the bull crowd in the cotton fwure market today but the ad- vices had little effec beyond causing a slight easing of local values around the opening of the market July was 10 points lower and August lower on the opening. while tho new. ercp positions were practically unchanged There was unsettled weather in the belt anl the crop reports not of the best charac- ter in that serious backwardness was reported in a number of sections In consequence of ab- normally low temperatures for this season of the year The early trade was rather sow but subsequently the market broadened eppre- ciably. and prices advanced in clever fashion At times the speculative crowd was inclined to hold of for fresh advices regarding the bull leaders huzt on the whole the shorts conttu- ued to express much uneasness, heavy cover ing was noted. The July option soon ad- vanced to the high point of yesterday while the balance of the market advanced sympa- thetically. OR the better levels. however there was considerable selling for both sides of tn account, and prices sought a lower level though the decline was not allowed to go very far the market a whole remain ing under the control of the bull elements The movement of cotton was fair. The opin- ions In the latter part of the day continued conflicting and there was every indication that the trade in general views the future with more or less hesitancy.

MARKETS FOR FUTURES
AUGUST AND SEPTEMBER TOUCH
 NEW HIGH MARKS.
Then Realizing Sets in and Gains Melt Before the offerings-At the Close the Tone Was
 Barely Steady.

NEW YORK. June 25.-The cotton market opened easy at decline, of 10 points to an advance of [ point, the decline being fin the nearby positions, which were influenced by the lower cables and liquidation while the new crop months were sustained by the indifferent weather and unfavorable nature of crop ad- vices. For a brief interval the market hung nre with the trade apparently waiting for some indication as to the position of the leaders
 This was soon forthcoming and September In New Orleans shot up about 29 points in a few minutes with the new months here following
 July which had opened at so and sold down on the call to l2 S7 was back to I3. OS within ten minutes after the call was com pleted. while August was rushed from l27l to 2.9O and September from II.7o to .o4, with the later months showing great activity and frmness On the advance 1t was stated that there was still large outstanding short interest in the Summer options. For a time the shorts were urgent buyers the market naturally had periods of 1essened activity and slight until July had sold even with its pre- l2. e3 and September 9o, had touched new high records for tho season. Then realizing became more insistent. bull support was ap- parently withdrawn and it was again reported that settlement had been effected in the more important interests in the Summer monhs and many in the room again went short. In the last hour the realizing very heavy with September showing partiuular weakness
 closing at ll.75, a loss of 24 points from the best of the morning. The other months were net points lower to 8 points higher and the tone of the market was finally barely steady. Sales were estimated at 700 GOO bales

The edge may be taken otf their appe- tite for dinner. but they have saved themselves from the misery of another spree-and how glad they feel over it when they find themselves safely tucked in their beds, with clear heads. clean mouths. a long sleep ahead of them-and an awakening with a joyful morning heart-not a dismal devil-racked head!

c. E. Pierce G Co.'s Cotton Letter. (By Private Wire ~rym C. W. Lee & Cal

NEW YORK. June 25.-As the marking up process in old crop months continues per plexity over the cotton situation grows apace The New Orleans people generally regard ed as being among the smartest in the trade Granting this. the advance must be inter- preted in one of two ways: Either they are marking up the price of their cotton in order to make concessions of cent a pound or more in order to attract buyers. or else they have definite information of the existence of short interest that will make such an ad- vance worth while before the season is over There are a great many familiar with the cot ton conditions to be found on each side of the market. The advance in September re- ence of some expensive short interest that is now concentrated in the hands of a few. It is known that Wall Street has lost more money on the short side of the cotton this year than has been made in a great many years. There are some who profess to believe that Wall Street interests still short of cotton mar ket. In view of the advance this is hard to believe and for this reason we say perplexiy grows. Yet a solution of the mystery does not really play vital part fin the attitude of conservative commission house. The higher this market goes the 1t is to be let alone. There is no firm in the cotton business more anxious to trade and make money for customers than we are. But confess our action in either side of the account We cer- tainly cannot buy the Summer positions at inflated prices and 1t is too dangerous to sell them We certainly are not willing to ad- wise buying of December and January at 10 cents pound when the crop is improving daily. On substantial breaks distant positions can be purchased for quick profits.
