COTTON.

The market was trifle weaker and
narrower today, as compared with
yesterday. In the exchanges of the
American cotton centers the market
opened unchanged, ruled narrow all
day, and closed to points lower.
The weather conditions in Texas
are unchanged, the drouth continuing
unbroken, but this bullish influence is
counteracted by the fact that shippers
have about filled their August con-
tracts. AS The Eagle predicted sew
eral days ago, this has weakened the
market, which is 1-Sc lower than yes
terday.
There is pretty good demand from
the New England spinners for Sep
TENDER and October shipments but
they are trying to buy at too great
discount on August prices. All the
facts go to prove, however, that the
world is short Of cotton and that later
in the season the demand from all the
mills will keep the market stimulated.
The Bryan spot market opened at
IA IL cents and closed at IA 3-S cents,
the receipts still running an average
of strict middllng.

WEEKLY COTTON LETTER

/ There has been little change in the
cotton situation during the week and
while the market has been fairly &C
tive, prices are not materially changed
from those OF last week. The tendency
is reactionary owing to the reports OF
more showers in Texas and forecasts
of further rains.
On the recessions, however, good
demand has been noted and the opinion
prevails that until additional reliable
data on the growing crop can be had
present prices reflect a fair value for
the new crop.
Miss Giles condition report issued
this week was very bullish, in that it
showed IL per cent deterioration in
Texas, which more than Offset the
moderate improvement east of the Mis-
sissippi. Her report would indicate
crop of less than 100000 bales.
Since the figures were compiled, how
ever, the Southwest has had more rain,
which leads to the belief that the gov
eminent report will make better
showing than Miss Giles.
The market has to large extent
discounted the damage already done
and prices for the new crop seem to
have reached point of equilibrium
around 10 IL cents. Any further dam
age would be followed by an advance
and continued Improvement would re-
suit in a further reaction.
Fear of an early frost or even aver
age deterioration during the remainder
of the season should avert any mate
rial decline, however, and in view of
the likelihood of more crop scares
later on We believe that cotton can be
safely bought on reactions for good
profits.

Dead as a Doornail.

The phrase dead as doornai"
originated in this way. In early days
when door knockers were common, the
plate upon which the knocker struck
was sometimes called a nail In the
course Of years it was struck so often
that all life was supposed to be
knocked out of it; therefore when it
became necessary to refer to anything
hopelessly lifeless it was merely an
emphatic expression to say that 1t was

The Way They Kick in Kansas

A story was told me while in Kansas when the hot prairie winds were blowing and amid the speeches of the Chautauqua as of the Kansas way of taking up life's work. He was young, and had just graduated from law school. His resources were ex- hausted, but he bravely swung forth his shingle and waited But no clients stopped on that side of the street. His office rent was due and Lis clothes were be coming shiny, but he went to his office with regularity that would indicate a thriving prac- tice. He was deep in an imagi- nary case, and when the author ities were all noted and argu- ment prepared, he started forth downtown and thrashed the mayors son, whom he met Ill the street.
 The act aroused the righteous indigna ton of the townsmen and he faced an angry court. But III his testimony he was able to in- clude a sharp attack on the mayor and his administration; he quoted law from Lycurgus and Solon, and gave them the page, number and chapter every time.
 The case was continued and sent up to higher court; at last it reached the Supreme bench, and the young man made the most of hls opportunity to show his ability as lawyer. He lost the case and paid his fine cheer fully; for he had established for himself practice which assured his future

atory of the Chamberlain Medicine
 Co.,, Des Moines, Iowa.
 A person purchasing a bottle of Cham berlain's Cough Remedy has no conception of the magnitude of the laboratory where this medicine is man. ufactured. The machinery and appa- ratus used in its preparation was de- signed especially for the purpose and South America and the United States supply the various ingredients of this remedy, and only the highest obtaina- ble quality is used. No pains or ex- pense has been spared in making it as nearly perfect as possible.
 A force of helpers representing homes enough to populate an average Iowa town are regularly employed at the plant of the Chamberlain Medicine Company at Des Moines, Iowa. Their printing department, which is usually overlooked in calculating the expense of business of this kind, ranks as one of the best in the state, and is thor oughly equipped with automatic press es and folders of the latest improved type. Here enough print paper is used in one year to spread over ten farms 'of l60 acres each, upon which is printed advertising matter, directions and la. bels in twenty-eight different Ian guages and dialects. Enough lum bel is used ill making the cases in which the medicines are shipped to build al II=iEzt1tzro0n thodss oI each or JiIese GeI farms every three months. The bottles nsed by this firm every year, which art filled by machinery at the rate of 2,00C per hour, if placed end to end would reach across the UAited States sever times or almost encircle the globe.

MARKET, STOCK
 AND RANGES

Kansas City Stock Yards, Dec. 22, I910.-A fair number of range cattle came in last week, although the season is about over. Quality is lacking in the range offerings, characterizing the final round ups, but prices remain satisfactory, a shade stronger as the week advances. Colorado beef steers sold from SAYS to $5.35, and Old Mexico killing steers at $3 .65 to $4. Run here today is 10000 head, market strong to 15 higher, fat steer and country grades getting the full advance, cows and heif- CTS strong to 10 higher Some common COWS from eastern Col orado at $3 50, and some few tColorado and New Mexico stock steers at $4.4O to $4.9o, make up the range offerings today. Packers are finding a better out let for the beef than they had ten days ago. Poultry and game are high this year, and beef costs less than other kinds of meat, there fore it enjoys the most demand Top yearlings today sold at $6.6O from Oklahoma. and best native fed heavy steers sold at $6.25, although prime quality would bring $6.75. Bulk of the 60 to 90 day fed steers sell at $5.15 to $5.SO. Most of the high costing, long fed steers have now been marketed, and from fnow on feeders will be figuring from a different basis. Feed is cheap. and more careful nursing ] Fol ts N iittss5 greater profit to feeders. Runs at all the markets are slim today and the general complexion ot tie trade has changed decidedly for the better in the last week.
 Sheep and lambs sold highest at the middle of last week, and eased off a little toward the close The run dropped down promptly with the decline in pri- ces, and this sort of treatment brought a quick recovery, prices 10 to 15 higher today, supply 5000 head. This feat of causing an upturn to the market by re iusing to market stuff at the de cline has been worked success fully twice in the last ten day here. which shows that the pack CTS are not on very firm ground in their battle for lower prices Top lambs sold at $6 25 today, best yearlings $o 50, top weth- CTS $4 25, ewes $375. These prices are good enough to pre- serve the dignity of feeders, and it is believed they can be main tained unless there is an unseas- onable rush to market next month.
