COTTON GOES TO Zoe
MOST SENSATIONAL ADVANCE
RECORDED ON EXCHANGE.
Net Profit of $4,000 on Every 100 Bales
August Cotton-Bears Forced to
Bid Fabulous Prices.

New YOrk-he most sensational ad-
vance in cotton that has been record
ed since the close of the Civil War
occurred Monday on the local cotton
exchange. Millions of dollars we're
made and lost in as many seconds.
The gambling in cotton, if it may be
SO called, was devoted to what is
known as August deliveries. William
P. Brown, who led the aggressive bull
movement, is said to have cleared up
somewhere between $4,000, 900 and 49,
600 1000 on the days transactions, but
Mr.. Brown is a clean cut, we'll built,
courteous Southerner with big brown
mustache, and Notwithstanding his gy-
rations in the cotton pit for a mat
ter of three hours in the most siren
uous day of the existence of the cot
ton exchange, he emerged from the
ring without so much as a wilted
collar.
1t is admitted that on every 100
bales of August cotton purchased at
the price prevailing on Saturday there
was a net profit of $4,000.
The bears, driven to their wits end
to make good their contracts, were
forced to bid what a few weeks ago
would have been regarded as fabu-
lous prices for the Southern staple.
The bulls, representa- by William P.
Brown, Frank B.. Hayn, Eugene G.
Scales and one or two others who
maintain a minor position in the bull
clique, were confident of their posi-
ton, having in the port of New York,
between 100, 900 and $4,000 bales Of
this most valuable commodity.

BANKERS WILL TALK COTTON
Will Confer at London Concerning
Bills of Ladinq.

Observation-Disclosures the prospect
that American cotton shipments to
England may be curtailed seriously
this year., because of the hitch with
English banks over guarantees of the
American bills of lading, a committee
of New York bankers will go to Lon
don for conference with the English
fnanCiers.
The British banks have issued an ul-
timatum that after November l they
will not receive cotton bills of lading
unless they are guaranteed by Amer
lean banks. This step vas induced
by the recent alleged frauds which re-
suited in the failure of Knight, Yancey
& Co. of Decatur, Ala, which was fol-
lowed by heavy losses in Liverpool.
The American national banks, under
the law, cannot guarantee cotton bills
of lading, and there is great %apprehen-
sion that unless the English banks
recede from their position the annual
movement to England will be some
what crippled.

OF COTTON
SLIGHT FALLING OFF IN SOME OF
THE REPORTS.
In the State East of the River the
Rainfall Was Not Evenly
Distributed.

Memphis, Tenn.-It is evident thai
the recent rainfall in Texas has been
of scattered and local benefit, the pre-
cipitatiOn being too light in most
cases to relieve the drOuth. In the
central and southern parts of the
state bolls are opening yer y rapidly
and almost the entire crop, unless rain
falls soon, will very shortly be ready
for the pickers. The yield promises
somewhat better than last year, how
ever. OkIahoma's prospect continues
excellent, a record production being
indicated.
In other states returns do not aver
age quite so favorable as during the
preceding four weeks. The rainfall
has been %unevenly distributed, n
there are places where shedding
is complained of.
In all eastern and valley states
where rain has fallen during the past
two weeks reports are good, and there
are some fine crops. The plant gen.
orally has fruited we'll, but a late frost
is needed for maturing everything in
sight. AS a rule, cotton is opening
slowly, but the fruit is beginning to
mature more rapidly than heretofore.

WILL RAISE The MAINE
PRESIDENT ENTHUSIASTIC OVER
LATEST PLANS.
Warship Will Be Sailing Homeward
by Christmas-Pneumatic Gals
sons Will Be Used.

Beverly, Mass.-If plans which
President Taft regards favorably are
adopted, the battIeship Maine, sunk
in Havana harbor twelve years ago,
which since then has concealed the
secret Of the disaster which over
wheImed her, may be sailing home
ward on or before Christmas, bearing
a lOng-delayed verdict to the nation.
John F. O'Rourke, of New York,
submitted the plans to President Taft.
They pored over them for two hours.
Both were much interested, if not en-
~thusiastic, when Mr.. O'Rourke depart
ed from the summer capital with in
structions to meet the president in
Washington during the last week in
September, when definite action will
be aiken.
The plan provides for raising the
Maine by means of pneumatic Gals
sons and steel cables. The ship will
be preserved intact, Mr.. O'Rourke
says, with every evidence Of the dis
aster which she may bear.
1t is purposed to construct on piles
a line of wharves about twenty feet
from either side of the ship. Between
it and the wharves will be sunk pneu-
matte caissons to a depth Of about
ten feet below the keel of the Maine.
Cables will be passed down one side
of the c~aissons under the Maine and
up the other side to the caissons
there. These cables will be placed
at intervals Of four feet and form a
cable in which the Maine will rest.
The combined strength of the cables
will be Of a lifting power four times
the weight Of the ship.

Reuther testified that Osterman

Central railroad and the Ostermann
company.
