Every housekeeper should know
that if they will buy Defiance Cold
Water Starch for laundry use they will
save not only time. because it never
sticks to the iron, but because each
package contains 16 Ozone full
pound-while all other Cold Water
Starches are put up in 3-4-pound pack
ages, and the price is the same, 10
cents. Then, again, because Defiance
Starch is free from all Injurious chem
icals. If your grocer tries to sell you
a 1907. package 1t Is because he has
q stock on hand which he wishes to
dispose of before he puts in Defiance.
He knows that Defiance Starch has
printed on every package in large let
tiers and figures "16 ozs." Demand
Defiance and save much time and
money and the annoyance of the iron
sticking. Defiance never sticks.

YORK COTTON LETTER
Market is Travelling Downward. Liver
pool Declines Eight Points

Renewed weakness which the
cotton market developed today was
due TO resumption of liquidation
that speculative accounts and fur
ther selling for local by southern
operators and also some heavy sell-
ing by foreigners. All the day S
developments in the way of news
was against the market with the
decline Of eight English points in
spots and twelve in future at Liver
pool being much more than had
been expected. This weakness
abroad was due TO heavy coniinen-
tai and Egyptian selling and bear
ish advices from this side and re-
port that Neill had and was about
to issue big crop estimate. The
stock OF contract cotton here has
now been increased to 1872 900 and
in the present very stringent mon
ey market condition is proving too
heavy load for its owners to carry.
Spot markets in the south are al
so weakening and the movement Of
the crop shows that large per
centage of he farmers are really
selling for theamount brought into
sight this week approximates $780,
600 against $50, 600 last week and
5I4, 900 last year
About the only support today
came from pro6t-taking by shorts.
From the present condition of the
market, the situation seems favor
able for some further decline, tenn
porarily at least before there is any
attempt to resume bull speculation.
