Loveman G. Co.'s Market Letter.

A very favorable Liverpool, u good de-
mand locally for spots and the issuance
of a bullsh circular by Thee H. Price
were the three principal Influences that
brought about the sharp advance In cot
ton today. The market, however. did not
need any bullish assistance from Mr.
Price, the situation being strong enough
of itself to cause an advance but the
fiat footed stand taken by the former
bear leader on the long side had a very
discouraging effect on the rank and file
of the shorts, many of whom wisely de-
the market might go considerably higher
when the census report is issued at
o clock, our time, tomorrow The atti-
tude of many local operators on the bull
side towards Mr.. Price. however. is best
expressed by the old classic saying, we
fear the Greeks most when they bring
gifts" After a careful reading of the
circular issued by Mr. Price today, we
are inclined, however to give him credit
for being sincere In his conversion to the
bull side. We quite agree with him that
an unwarrantably short interest has been
established by selling the new crop
months simply on the theory that there
will be an enormous acreage planted in
cotton. The worlds visible supply Is
diminishing and will continue to do so
until receipts from the new crop become
sufficiently large to stop the drain on
stocks.

AbercrOmbie & Co.'S Cotton Lett

ApeFCTomDie q 70. s OoIIon Letter.
There was further advance of
about 16 points today, influenced by un-
favorable weather in the cotton belt, by
large spot sales at Liverpool and in the
local market and by the issuing of
bullish review by the ex-bear leader of
New York. This further Improvement
was also partly due to the final census
report on this seasons growth being ex
pected tomorrow at l o'clock, New Or
leans time The reaction TO 1924 for May
and to ll.09 for July today represents an
advance of about 90 points from the
lowest level of last week, and In a meas
ure discounts a census report of about
10600000 bales for the time being, although
the conversion of Mr., Price to the bull
side might influence outside buying on the
part of the public and perhaps cause spin
ners to remain in the market for spot
cotton, especially since the following is
the substance of his bullsh circular of
today MY observations when In the
south and my interviews with a great
many people in that section convinced me
that the tendency to sell the market short
upon the theory that the acreage not yet
planted was to be an enormous one has
led to the creation of an unwarranted
short interest at the time when supplies
of actual cotton throughout the world
was likely to be rmapidly diminishing.

FADS AND FANCIES.
By M1NNA ScHArr CRAWFORD.

The returning throngs of designers
and dressmakers fresh from their sum
mer explorations through the smart shops
of Paris and London have brought over
some very practical new ideas in semi
fitting short and long coats that will be
hailed as a welcome departure from the
tight-htting styles of the past two years.
The return of the gored fare skirt,
which fits smoothly at hip and waist
and falls into voluminous folds at foot,
is also greeted with enthusiasm The
circular skirt is very pretty in theory.
but its tendency to drag and dip at the
sides makes it>ungraceful In the new
skirts this sagging tendency is corrected
by means of cores and plaits which give
the new skirt the effect of being en-
panelled Its numerous seams enable
the dressmaker to utilize narrow Ia
brics and secure the full effect of the
circular skirt without disfguring criss-
cross seams.
Folds continue to be the favorite gar
niture for skirts. These may be cut to
the exact shape of the skirt or made OF
bias material, and are usually lined with
crinoline Great care must be exercised
TO cut the crino1ine on a true bias, other
wise dampness will cause it to pull
and spoil the shape of the folds.

Educating the FiIipinos

In the Philippine Islands 800 Amcri-
can and 6,ooo Filipino teachers are busy
educating nearly 100000 pupils of all
ages.
Mr.. Scott, chief clerk of the Philip
pine Board of Education. said a few
days ago that 10 per cent of the popu-
lation of the Philippines, nearly 100000,
now speak English, and that the Filipino
boy until he reaches the age of nineteen
is mentally superior TO the American of
the same age, but there his superiority
ends, and our educational system has not
existed long enough to enable US to de-
termine his capacity during the second
period of his mental development.
The Filipino boy is inferior physically
to the American boy at all stages, but
the girl of the islands, according to Mr.
Scott, though of small physique IN early
years, exceeds at the age of sixteen the
stature of the American girl, and IS in
comparably superior to her native
brothers.
All the American teachers and 200 of
the Filipinos are paid by the insular gov
ernment The others are paid by the
municipalities.
