There was some irregularity immediately following here for the weather map made a favorable showing, but the forecast was for frost in several sections of the belt, and when the Liverpool bulls were aggressive buy CTS December advanced to 064 and March to 10S5 or about S5 to 40 points higher Toward the close there was heavy realizing and selling by spot people, while some of the bears seemed to be selling for a turn on the theory that the frosts would not be heavy enough to damage the crop.

Ware 6 LeIand's Market Letter.

Cold weather last nighE, predictions of mere cold tonight accompanied by frost in the territories and north Texas and very strong spot demand combined to rut prize of cotton higher today and to hold 1t steadily at a level which bears regarded as nothing shor. of ridicuous.
 To tell the truth the situation has lost much of it's bearishness, and 1t looks as if the bears would be forced to sweat for every point down they put prices during the remainder of this moath. The demand for spo.s is ali absorbing and confirms the estimates of a large short spot inter- est which must be covered during Oc- tober According to the gossip of the floor somo exporters who are having diff fculty in covering with the actual cotton have given instructions to their brokers to take up October notices. Because of this r'lmor mary operators believe that October will sell ct a good premium over later months. Spots were in large de- mand before the future market opened and tra ling was apparently limited only by the amount of cotton offered regard less of the fact that sellers were ask ing an advance of one-eighth to three-slx- teenths. The demand for f. o. b. cotton was also strong and in spite Of tho ad- NaLce of 30 points In the future market sellers were able to get yesterdays price of 32 points on December for Liverpool good mid6ling for October shipment. With such a strong spot situation bears found the prizes of options giving no response to their hammering. Liverpool cables were very favorable which private cable grams said was due to two failures, one on the continent and the other in Alex eBdria. The map was clear and cool and the forecast predicted cold weather over rrs ctically entire belt tonight with frost as noted above.
 Tn some districts of Louisiana the tenn perature went as low as 45 degrees last night

An Officjous Italian.

Once year the roadmaster in my town ship sends an Italian to 'clean up'' the road along which walk daily to my su- burban station, says Wilhelm Miller in Country Life in America. He takes a scythe and cuts down my beloved asters and goldenrods, my bayberry, whose transformation from green to bronze and purple furnishes two months of entertain ment, my Brown-eyed Susans, which grow by the hundred on the banks, and all the homely, pleasant flowers that woudl never spread into farmers field. The only reason for this slaughter I can discover by dint of questioning is vague desire to be tidy
 The only political office I ever want to hold is one that will give me authority over that half-nile of roadway. I want to stand over that Italian next fall every minute he wields his deadly tools, First he will clean out poison ivy; then he will make separate job of the brers and burs Then he will go home. The other weeds will all stay, for each has it moments of beauty and the roofing out of mullein and plantain on this one iso- lated patch would not ease the farmer burden enough to justify the cnuntry's 8 expense
