kets came about as looked for this
morning with the exception of spots
which We're again advanced points
on sales Of 5000 bales this being very
liberal for Saturday market Our
markets opened practically unchang
Cd but later In the lay some short
covering by the weak ones who did
not care to carry their contracts over
Sunday on account of the extreme bad
weather all over the country carried
values upward about 6 to points
On the whole ii was a very dull and
quiet market with no snap or vlgOr
and no outside buying whatever, the
whole trading was strictly prof ssiOn-
al and what little cotton was bought
was only for the short interest. We
do not look for the market TO do very
mucl either way until the coming hoi-
iday season has passed although the
Einners' report from the census bu-
raau 60 be issued next week may have
q temporary effect on prices. but we
are inclined to think that a bulish
construction on this report has to some
extent been discounted and anything
near 100000 bales or over wou'd re-
sult in a slight decline but we do not
think should this occur that the le-
preston would be more than tenn
pOrary as the country at large are
firm believers in the short crop idea
and nothing less tlan ten m lions
would cause them TO enter the mar
X, Z on the short side.
The fCht is now on between the
creat bull leaders and the farmer on
one side and TheO. II. Price and the
consumer on the other and tie battle
certainly promises 70 be strenuous
enc. The spinner has come to the
front again with his old cry that the
difference between what h2 must pay

sell his piece goods Ear mEans the
wages Of his employees and that the

them In The old Gays? let him paw
MS a living price for our product and
we are willing to nav TIRE price for
ais manufactured articles. but we must
cave margin enough to keep our chi
dren in schools and no. In the cotton

Santa Claus is Of German origin.
This is true il only because that is the
German name for St Nicholas That
he is an old man is because in the an
cient pagan fensts in celebration Of
the decay Of the old year and the birth
Of the new an Old man played the prin-
cipal part Among the Greeks and Ro-
mans il was Saturn. the father Of all
the gods, and among the No-semen it
was Thor. who WAS lpag bearded and
white haired. That the saint is ST.
Nicho,as is due 10 the fact that taat
venerable personaEe's feast day was
celebrated at about that period. St
Nicholas was bishop Of Myra. who
houTished oarly in the fourth century.
Re is the patron saint OF children and
schoolboys, ard hence it was natural
that he shOuld be q part Of celebra-
tion when the children received gifts

Another Reduction in Fare.

The Southern Pacific Company has
again reduced the passenger fare to
Portland, in anticipation Of a heavy
increase in travel next month. Begin
ming September /, the fare will be
reduced to one and one-tenth for the
round trip. This will make the round
trip fare from Dallas s2.1O instead Of
s2.55. This liberal concession is
entirely voluntary on the part Of the
company, and will be greatly appre-
ciated by the travelling public.

Nothing Doing in Hops.

The hop-pioking season is over in
the Dallas district and the farmers
are busily engaged in baling their
crops. The heavy rains seriously
lnterfered with the picking in the
large yards during the closing days,
but the crop was saved without loss,
and the hops are all of excellent
quality. Buyers are now taking
samples, but are making no Offers.
The farmers do not seem to be in any
hurry to sell, and it is doubtful if
many 12-cent hops could be secured
in Polk county at this time.
