of the crop. Here we are. July 10,
and the crop fine. We can say never
better. But there can come weather
during August that will knock the crop
off. 1t is highly improbable that any
thing of this kind will occur, but as
long as there is the possibility, it is
unwise to run needless risks. There
are many risks in shorting cotton dur
ing the latter part of July. We IN
variably get poor accounts from some
section or other during August. As
long as this is the rule, there is every
reason to keep off the short side for
the present. The market is dull, quiet
and yet holds steady. 1t seems to be
safe to buy cotton on declines. Prices
won't break much for a while.

1t is well known that American oper-

the remarkably good prospects of the

laid or not. it was very evident at one
time to-day that an attempt was made
to cause break before nine and a
half cents for December, but the clos

the day shows how futile this effort
was. The weekly weather report was
by no means unfavorable. in fact, it
may be considered as considerably bet
ter than expected. Ii is true that
complaints were recorded of grassy

The two important factors in the
cotton markets yesterday were the
want of Liverpool as a trade center,
all the exchanges of that city having
been closed because of a visit of King
Edward: and the weather bureau S
weekly report of the condition of the
crop throughout the country. Despite
the fact that the bureaus report was
interpreted on the whole to be bear
ish the market held up pretty stead
lily and even closed a few points up.
The following is the bureaus re-
port:
Cotton continues to make rapid
growth throughout the cotton belt,
with exception of Texas, where al
though well cultivated and fruiting
nicely it's advancement has been
checked by dry weather and from por-
tions OF the Carolinas, Mississippi and
Louisiana complaints of grassy fields
are received, and in some sections of
these states too rapid growth of stalk
is reported. In Georgia the crop is
in very promising condition, little com
plants of damage from any source be
ing received from that state. Dry
weather and abundant sunshine have
checked the ravages of boil weevfl in
Texas.
In the local market business was very
quiet in all departments. The receipts
were 223 bales, the sales 10 bales and

Three Good Recipes.

Mrs. John Hart Williams, OF philips
burg, Montana, kindly contributes the
following three thoroughly tested
recipes:
Yeast-To make good yeast take
three good-sized potatoes and put
them on to cook when you start to
get supper At the same time take
two cakes of Magic yeast and put
them to soak in one pint of luke-warm
water. When the potatoes are well
done drain the water into bowl or
pan and mash the potatoes as thor
oughly as for the table. After they
are mashed add the water in which
they were cooked; set aside to cool
When lukewarm add the pint of water
in which the yeast cakes are soaked,
pressing as much as you can from the
cakes At bedtime add to this
enough -four to make a rather stiff
batter. This will be ready for use
the following morning but will be bet
ter if allowed to stand until the sec
ond day.
Buns.-Take a pint of yeast made
like the above, with one pint of new
milk, add three-quarters of a cup of
equal parts butter and lard, two Ia
