AFRAID OF H0ODOO
YOUNG MAN STARTED AFTER
FOURTEENTH ~BRAcER."
ooorkeeper's Testimony as to Unlueky
Number He Had Taken Startled
Enthusiastically the "Drag-
on" Was In Luck.

The keeper Of the stage door to a
New York roof garden where some OF
the prettlest summer girls are play
ing has come to the conclusion that
there IS not much in proverbs and
that 13 is a pretty lucky number
The other night as he was sitting
drowsily guarding the sacred precincts
over which he plays the dragon" a
young man with nothing but money
and a thirst. and who seemed to be
waiting for somebody, invited him to
come out and have something wet"
For a moment the dOorkeeper eyed
the young man OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES he

coldly explained that he couldn't get
away
"Oh. we'll" remarked the other non
chalantly. III go, anyway. you can
take one when you feel like it," With
that he flung a half dollar IN the door
keepers lap.
The doorkeeper slipped the silver
piece into his pocket and smacked his
lips I'm anticipation.
When the young man returned wip-
ing his mouth. he sat down on a bar
rel near the entrance and began a
friendly confab. Pretty soon, how
ever, he grew restless again.
Have a drink" he asked the door
keeper absentmindedly.
This time the dragon explained the
situation more graciously
'Oh, all right Get one when you
feel Ike IL. III take mine now" and
again a silver half dollar landed in
the doorkeeper's lap.
BY the time the young man re-
turned he was beginning 90 feel cheer
ful, but In ten minutes he began 20

doorkeeper started TO explain. and the
young fellow said: Very we'll" and

Ware 6 LeIand's Market Letter.

Todays cotton market was a good deal
of holiday affair. At times 1t showed
steadiness in rather a marked degree, but
this was entirely due to covering by shorts
who were not DESTROYS of carrying their
commitments over the three holidays
which follow the closing of the market to-
morrow. Bulls were not all aggressive,
except for short time, soon after the
opening when they made a perfectly open
attempt to run in shorts.
The size of the short interest In the
market, however, did not admit OF extern
slve manipulation and the buying was
soon over. A little later on attempts to
sell out what they had bought the longs
put enough pressure on the market to
send prices well below the level of yes
terday's close. Shorts were afraid OF
manipulation by longs in the Liverpool
market over the holidays and they did
not attempt to press the advantage that
was offered them. Unless something hap
pens over Sunday next the weeks market
will be uncertain, with the talent guess
ing over the two bureau reports that will
probably be issued on September 10. Liver
pool was good enough for some time pre-
vious to the opening of the local market,
but fell off just before the opening here,
which caused initial prices to show a
slight loss from the level Of yesterdays
close. The weather map was all that
could be desired and kilograms from the
country were less pessimistic than they
have been

New York. August 30.-The cotton mar
ket was irregular early but quite firm
later with the close very steady at net
advance of to ID points. Sales for the
day were estimated at 300. 900 bales.
The market opened steady at unchanged
prices to decline of points, which was
considered little better than due on the
showing of the Liverpool market. There
was a remarkable covering responsible for
the late advance In price, working up to
a net advance of to points. This was
followed by renewed weakness under bear
pressure and liquidation which was I'M
doubtedly encouraged by the favorable
weather over the south and reports of
freer spot offerings, but after selling off
to a net decline of 7 to s points. the mar
ket again rallied. Trading was only, mod
crate in the early afternoon but was more
active later and there was a good deal
of covering for over the approaching holi-
days. The close was near the top. Crop
reports published early in the day while
indicating deterioration during the month
were considered of a bearish average. A
factor in the late advance was an esti-
mate by southwestern paper placing the
Texas crop at 100000 bales against $780,
600 last year.
Receipts at the ports today, 7s45 bales,
against 1914 last week and HIP last year.
