Low middling.. lie.
The local spot cotton market was
enIivened yesterday for the first time
In several days. when holder releas-
ed lot of tifty-five bales OF the sta
pie at 121-2 cents. This is the largest
sale recorded In the local market for
some time. None Of the other hold
ers had any of the staple to offer yes
teIday.
The general tone of the cotton mar
ket was better yesterday. The Liv-
erpool cables came higher and the in
ltial prices of the market on opening
were about 10 to IL points above Mon
days closing figures. Good buying by
the continent, together with some buy
Ing on this side, was in evidence, and
the later cotton months again went
over IL cents. After Liverpool closed
the leading bearish interests got busy
and as the result the market dropped
few points before Its close.
October futures opened points up
and after strong advance all day
with a slight decline toward its close
this month closed at OF, 26 points
above Mondays closing figures, De-
ccmber cotton also was 10 points up
and this month closed at IL. 10, an ad-
vance OF "a points above its close Mon
day evening.
Liverpool, due points lower, open
ed steady l to points higher. Later
cables said the market was quiet at
another advance, Spot prices were un-
changed with sales at about 5000
bales.
Another matter of Importance which
came into the market yesterday was
that Texas had more rain, twenty -one
stations out of thirty-two reporting
precipitation. Washington has also
issued special long range forecast
saying that the West section OF the
belt will receive abundant rains in the
next three or four days, with cooler
temperatures.
Tie weather map yesterday showed
generally fair weather in the northern
half with cloudy weather in the south
ern half of the belt. Texas had some
general rains but there was less pre-
cipitation over the balance of the belt.
Indications are for more rain in the
West with clear to cloudy weather else
where.

NEW YORK COTTON.

The opening was steady at an advance of
100 II points on better cables than due,
above the closing figures OF yesterday on
covering and foreign buying. Some author
tiles said the foreign demand for the
purpose OF covering old hedges or putting
out straddles between. here and Liverpool
market while others claimed that II pre-
sented a hedge against future requirements.
In any event the buying from this
slackened after the close OF Liverpool and
prices here eased Off about ten points fol-
lowing the detailed wsather report from
weather in the Southwest did not seem to
be bringing out much long cotton, while
the local bears much less active than
of late and the Frarket rallied again in the
later trading ar active demand of the
South, the West and Wall Street sources.
Last prices were within point of the top.
The steady reduction in the local stock
suggests that there Is no pressure of old
crop cotton against the market at present
prices while Southern receipts show very lit

the Southwest claiming that farmers may

THE CHYSANTHEMUk
Japanese Legend of the Origin of the

.r Many Petaled Flower.
The Japanese have an interesting
legend in connection with the origin of
the chrysanthemum In a garden bath
ed in the soft moonlight a young girl
plucked flower, and commenced to
strip the petals TO see IL her fiance
loved her truly. OF a sudden a little
god appeared before her and assured
her that her fiance loved her passion
ately. Your husband will live, he add
ed, as many years as the flower which
/ will let you choose has petals. With
these words he disappeared. The
young girl FASTENED to search the gar
den for flower which should have nm
abundance OF petals. but each one ap-
peared TO promise bnt brief future
for her beloved. t ,.. ..
At length she picked up a Persian
carnation. and, with the aid of a gold
pin taken from her hair, she separated
each OF the petals OF the flower so as
TO increase the number of folioles and
of the number of years accorded by
the god TO her fiance. Soon under her
deft fingers one, two. three hundred
petals. thin. plant and beautifully
curved. had been evolved, and the
young girl cried for JOY to think of
the happy future which her ruse had
assured her fiance. So, runs the leg
end, was the chrysanthemum created
one moonlight night In a Japanese
garden where silvery brooks murmur-
ed softly as they ran beneath the little
bamboo brldges.-London Globe.
