THE SILLY SEASON.
Mothers Worried About Daughters
Meeting tho Wrong Men.

"SSSbu9 Suo vvTSu9 tWSus
More than one young woman's moth
er is making herself unnecessarily
miserable this summer for fear the
cherished daughter will want to marry
the wrong sort of man. Her worry is
as useless as 1t is out of place. IL she
could but realize 1t, for in a way no
one Is more competent to make the de-
cision than the two young people in
volved.
This Is. Of course, a modern view
and one that presupposes no such ill.,
volved requirements as were wont to
be laid down in the days when par
ents. on the assumption OF the infalli-
bility Of their own wisdom, arranged
matches according to their own ideas.
Such times are happily nearly extinct
In this country. for the young Amer1-
can woman feels it her inalienable
right to take a portion Of her destiny
into her own hands.
Mothers have one right that none
but writer's Of melodrama will deny
them-that il, to insist on daugh-
ter's waiting until she Is old enough
to marry. The maturity not of years.
but of experience, is safeguard with
out which few can risk that decision
which is to the woman the destiny OF
the best two-thirtls Of her lifetime
She must know herself. and she must
know men. She must have some
groundwork of comparison. some def
mite standard. on which to base her
judgment. for every quality IS relative.
and the man who may seem to the
seventeen-year-o!d a marvel Of clever
ness may bore her at twentythrcc
Nor does the seventeen-year-old Yet
know her own tastes and tempera ment
sufficiently to know whether any given
person is cougenial.
Till she has attained her full growth
mental. physical and spiritual-and
come to realize her own needs. how
can she tell anything about who can
fulfill those needs:
Statistics show that twenty-five
years ago girls married at the average
age Of nineteen. Owing possibly to
the eomplexity OF present day condi-
tions this average has risen to about

even higher for the college girl. who
practically stops living the life Of ex-

WHEAT HIGHER ON
 DAMAGE REPORTS Growing Crop In Argentina Is Threatened By LocuStS RECEIPTS ARE VERY HEAVY Corn Is Weak at First Owing to Lack of Demand, But Prices Become
 Firm-Oats Close Steady
 and Provisions Quiet.
RECEIPTS ARE VERY HEAVY

Chicago, September 13.-Reports claim ing serious damage to the wheat crop Of Argentina by locusts caused sharp bulge in wheat prices on the Board of Trade here today. Final quotations showed gains of 1as@11s to 1% per cent compared with Saturdays close. Corn and oats closed steady and provisions irregular.
 Attention of traders in the wheat pit was diverted temporarily from domestic conditions which have been growing mora bearish day by day, to the situation in. Argentina, where the growing crop of wheat is now said to be threatened by locusts. Reports to this effect have been confirmed partially by dispatches from private sources. These reports inspired active buying toward midday and throughout the remainder of the day the demand continued brisk
 Early in the session the market was de- pressed by the enormous receipts in the northwest which were the largest on rec ord. Arrivals at Minneapolis and Duluth aggregated 2025 cars, while those at Winnipeg totaled 1219 cars. The previous record for the two former centers was 1886 cars. Firmness of cash wheat here and in the southwest, however, tended to offset this liberal movement. The Sep tenber delivery was again extremely er- ratio and during the day sold between $1o1a and s103A December ranged be- tween 961sc and 9Sasc. The market closed strong at almost the top September being at S1 .O3B and December 9SHQ9Sssc.
 Increased receipts and falling off of eastern demand for the cash grain cre-' ated considerable weakness in the corn market, but the late strength of wheat caused f1rmer feelings in the final hour. As a result of increased offerings from the country the price of the cash grain de- clined from 1c to 1Ac. Cash interests were leading sellers of the options throughout the day. The market closed about steady with prices a shade higher to ssc lower compared with the pre- yious close.
 Weakness of corn prompted moderate profit-taking in oats which resulted in heavy tone the greater part of the day. The market, however, rallied trine late in the session in sympathy with wheat and corn. Final quotations showed gains of a shade to 1sc
 Provisions were weak with the excep- tion of September pork, which made slight gains owing to covering by shorts. The feature of trading was the unloading of a large line of January pork by local packer. At the close September pork was up 121kc, while the remainder of the list 30@S21hc lower
 Leading futures ranged as follows:

WILL ESTABLISH
 AUTOMOBILE LINE

Chattanooga, September 13.A(Special.)- A number of gentlemen made an automo- bile trip from Jasper to thls city, the object being to make an inspection of the road and arrive at some sort of de- cision as to whether a project that is now being considered is practicable. The proposition is to establish an automo- bile line between this city and the Marion county capital. They found that the roads, with the exception of about a quarter of mile, are in an exceptionally good condition. Work has already been commenced on the only bad stretch cf road that lays between the two cities, and in a short time this will be in first class condition. It is proposed to run a line of automobiles on such schedule that one car will leave for Jasper after the closing of the theatres, so that Jasper people can come to Chattanooga in the afternoon, attend the theatres and returr home the same night It will require less than an hour and half to make the trip and the price of round trip will be B.

SHARP DECLINE
 IN COTTON MARKET Prices Drop a Dollar a Bale But
 Partly Recover LIQUIDATION IS HEAVY One Buyer Is Reported as Turning Loose 5o,ooo Bales, Which Causes
 Slump, But Half of the
 Loss Is Recovered.

New York, September 13.-An early de- cline of s1 in cotton was partly recov- cred in tho late trading, the close be- Ing steady at decline of Il points.
 The market opened steady at A de- cline of 9 to 16 points and after some irregularity sold off to a decline of 20 points with January selling as low as s12O5 or 8 under the high figures of last Wednesday. This decline was the result of heavy liquidation and stop loss orders following weak Liverpool cables, the showing of the English market be- ing attributed to liquidation and hedge selling, and suggestion that foreign spin ners were less nervous over future sup plies owing to the failure of the mar ket to hold it's advance since the pub lication of the September condition fig- ures and the increasing movement.
 It was rumored that a big southwestern bull was liquidating his long line, and one broker was credited with selling fully bo,ooo bales during the morning. Offerings became lighter after, midday The un- dertone of the market continued very nervous and unsettled but there was some support from covering by shorts and in the last half hour prices rallied some 10 or Il points from the lowest. There was nothing In the southern news to modify crop ideas, as temperatures con tinued very high in the western belt on Sunday, and while the reports of a walk out as result of labor troubles in Fall River probably helped the early decline, the general opinion was that these diff faculties would be of short duration.
 Southern spot markets were unchanged to one-quarter lower and fear of the increasing movement appears to be the chief factor against prices.
 Receipts at the ports today 4.S92 bales against 20,421 last week and 36, ,68s last year. For the week 1s0.oO0 against 151,- s22 last week and 213sS2 last year. To- days receipts at New Orleans, 1T29 bales against 194S last year and at Houston 22,6S1 against 1o,23O last year.

Hubbard Bros. 6 Co.'s Letter.

New York, September 13.-(Special )-So disappointing was the action of the mar ket on Saturday that some large accounts were liquidated during the morning, caus- ing a further decline of some 15 to IT points This cotton was absorbed and the market closed firm at points de- cline There were some indications that there was a change of sentiment by large traders who have looked forward to this liquidation and they were buyers today.
 In spite of the large movement Tn the Atlantic the continent continues to be large buyer, most of the exports going in that direction. Extreme heat in the southwest at this late date, with con tinued drouth means that the crop there is very short one.
 The strike of weavers In one of the Fall River mills for higher wages is due to the better trade conditions and the larger. dividends paid by the mills this season.
 Liverpool should be 5 points higher to- morrow.

Dry Goods.

New York, September 13.-The primary cotton goods market was quiet during the day, but values were very hard in every direction. The jobbing houses did good business in prints and solid color cottons for December or active purposes and there was a steady demand for prints for ex- ports. A slight improvement is reported in some quarters of the worsted dress goods market, but this textile division is not on the soundest possible, basis. The interest in raw silk is confined to speclal- ties Japan silks were again easier.
