G-opyright 1906 by Joseph b Bowlvs)
When I was a schoolgirl we used to
look forward with great anticipation
10 our annual school exhibitions. | DO
not know why the powers that were
then in authority made a distinction
between a girls reading her own essay
and a girls reciting a poem by some
body else. but this they did. Boys
were required to declaim and great
stress was laid in their education on
the cultivation OF ease before an audi.
ence But we girls. as a rule. sat
modestly in the front seats OF the
chapel. in our white feocks. while
members OF the school como ittee or
local clergyman read our compositions
for us. In the ideal OF that day WON
ans place was in the sweet shelter
and beautiful background OF her home,
and young girls we're not encouraged
to take part in public exercises OF any
kind. The exception was in favor OF
the smaller girls. who we're dressed
like fairies and came tripping out to
sing a solo or recite a bit OF verse.
and who we're taught TO cuTtsey deep
ly in response to applause from the
listeners.
In my later schOoldays there came
a change. | remember very well the
first time I stood before what seemed
TO me a crowd OF attentive faces aud
read a composition OF my own. The
subject was Temperance. and II was
treated with great force by the IL
year-old girl who had chosen so big a
theme In the middle OF the reading
she became frightened. lost her place
and her voice, aud could hardly have
gone on. but for a kind gentleman
who came ana stood by her side. say
ing: Never mind them. my dear.
Read straight ahead IN stay right
by you" | still remember that man
most gratefully.
Still later. we had In our school
what to-day might be called a venture
In school dramatiCs We OF the spnior
class decided that we must have a
May Queen. with court attendants.
fairies. elves. trolls. queens OF iow'
ers and OF grains. a Ceres. Flora,
a Persephone. and train OF people
representing different phases OF the
earth and the sea. Our scheme was so
ambitious that we could not ind any
thing IN print by which We could carry
II out. and the girls with one consen,
turned 10 me. saying: you must
write n play for us. OF else our May
Queen will be a failure" Looking
back. have always been surprised al
the way the teachers acted In the mat
ter. but our lovely principal when ap
preached was really most gracious
why. yes" she said. Miss NJ
may be- excused from all her classes
for the next week. while she is writing
the May Queen play"
wish had II now. but u Ions
ago was lost ia the limbo OF forgetful
ness. The thing I can see with my
eyes shut Is the beautiful pageant
with the prettiest girl In school a
Queen OF the May. and everyone FROM
the oldest to the youngest taking some
part 10 her coronation. either singing
a song or making an address while
the whole school. drilled by the mu
steal director. broke forth into fire.

IRREGULAR WITH
LESS OF ACTIVITY
Cotton is Recovering from Last
Weeks Spree
SALES WERE 10000 BALES
Trading Was Rather Active at Open
ing and Again Toward Close,
But Very Quiet In the
Middle Session
SALES WERE 100000 BALES

New York. August 6.-The cotton mar
ket was less active today. and fluctua-
tons We're irregular. following the activ-
ity and broad fluctuations of late last
week. The close was steady at a net ad-
vance of to points. Sales for the
day were estimated at 10000 bales The
market opened firm at an advance of to
points on covering of shorts and little
buying for a turn.
There was renewal of liquidation right
after the call, however. and the market
eased off with August relatively weak
and selling down TO new low level at
9.55c, or II points under the closing prices
of Saturday. Later positions did not quite
reach the low point of Saturday but were
steadied some 2as points under Satur-
days close by covering of shorts and
the later weather bulletins from Wash
ington reporting heavy precipitation in
Texas than shown on the early map raj
lied the market nearly to opening figures.
Trading was quite active at the opening
and again toward the close, but was very
quiet during the middle session, The
later weather reports indicated rain rang
ing from to inches at II points In
Texas. Southern spot markets were gem
orally unchanged

Gilbert G. clay's Market Letter.

Liverpool being closed today, the Amer
lean markets lapsed into state of
auietude presumably preferring to await
the advent of tomorrow when the policy
of the foreign market will have become
known.
There has been but little change in the
price of options during the local session
today Values have displayed tendency
to improve, but no advance has occurred
despite the less favorable character of
rews from the cotton field. Complaints
from Texas that the continued moisture
is stirring the weevil into damaging ac-
tivity, and that weeds and grass are UNI
able to be cleared owing to wet condi-
ton OF the ground. However, today's map
showed favorable weather in eastern por-
tions Of the belt. light scattered showers
with cloudy weather being the rule. There
Is every indication for large early
movement of new cotton. Already in the
neighborhood OF 1000 bales have been re-
ceived, Houston having 1873 bales to date
and numerous other localities In Texas
report that picking Is well under way,
and that gins that are in operation are
running full time.

THE LOCAL MARKETS.

The condition of the Birmingham spot

but there was a decrease In the prices
quoted of about 70 points yesterday the
price dropping from love cents to lOss

Several changes In the quotations or
prices on produce on Morris avenue were
noted yesterday Peaches, the supply OF
which is falling off considerably, have
gone up between 35 cents and so cents per

daily in the greatest abundance and
decrease in the price of about cents per
basket was reported yesterday. EGGS are

New York, August 6.-coffee, spot
Rio firm, No. invoice So mild, steady;
Cordova, SALE The market for coffee

There was considerable coffee for sale
here, but the market, after ruling around
the initial figures during the middle of
the session. became very active and firm
In the late trading on covering of shorts,
and renewal of bull support which
seemed to be inspired by reports that the
president OF Brazil had signed the valori-
cation bill, and that cables from Europe
stating that the fund to put valorzation
into effect had been assured.

could not be expected that much change
would occur here.
The drop of 30 points Friday made il
necessary to await the endorsement of
Europe. Meanwhile, timid shorts have
taken profits, but in spite Of this feature
the rally IS Insignificant and prices to-
night closed less than 10 points above the
lowest
Every day from now on will bring re-
ports of increasing movement of new
crop cotton It is well known that an
unusually large proportion of the grow
ing crop has been sold ahead to either
spinners or exporters at prices ranging
from NC to &c above the present level.
Should the new season open at lie or
above, as now seems extremely improb-
able, deliveries on such contracts would
naturally be slow, but values below 10c
Il is only human nature to make prompt
and full deliveries on contracts, which
bring the farmer from l0c to 1024c. For
that reason we expect a free movement
during the first months of the new sea-
son. What Europe may have in store
for us, no man can guess. but the Rus
sian news. day by day. Is not of a char
acter to stimulate any bullsh enthusiasm.
Based on today's close. Liverpool is due
to come 12 to 10 lower tomorrow.

Periods

Oppressive Heat In New York Was In
Large Measure Responsible for
the Languor In the Mid.
die Of the Day

New York, August 6.-Operations in
stocks started the week with a current
uplift in prices before the impelling force
OF buying, which showed every sign Of
eagerness to secure stocks, even at the
wide advances in the bids made necessary
TO bring out offerings. The early deal
tngs showed no remains of the disposition
10 realize profits which characterized the
closing dealings of last week. Instead
the market seemed bare of stocks at the
prices prevailing on Saturday, and the
wide opening advances were achieved
without any great volume of stocks
changing hands.
The advance was continued quite hrisxly
during the course OF the first hour There
was an abrupt falling off in the volume
OF business at that time and brokers
on the floor were almost idle during the
middle portion of the day There was no
appreciable revival of activity until the
last hour of the session. The oppression
or the great heat of the day was respon-
slole to large extent for the languor Of
the market. The tone was noticeably firm
IN spite of the almost total cessation Of
the buying, recessions being limited to
me small fractions inevitable in prac-
eieaily stagnant market. 1t was the ad-
vance In the last hour.
A considerable distribution was effected
AT the high opening level, which repre-
scented proflt-taSing on the lines taken on
