COTTON MARKETS.

gust, 1888: October. 1913 to 1851; De-
eemoer. l21o to 1854; January. 1850:
The market opened strong at an ad-
% to 81 points on the new crop as a
result Of excited covering and fresh buy
ing for long account inspired by the
storms and freezing weather reported in
the south, the strong showing OF the
cables and reports OF reduced acreage in
Mississippi and Louisiana. There was
also said to be some covering as q re-
suit OF the recent spot house failure.
but the main factor was believed to be
the wintry conditions prevailing over a
large area In the belt and many private
wires claiming that extensive replanting
would be necessary.
Crop damage reports came from nearly
all sections of the south, and It was said
in many instances they were accompanied
by buying orders as well as by claims
that seed was scarce for replanting. At
any rate the market continued very ac-
tive and generally Arm during the late
forenoon, with the new crop selling up
to q net advance OF 80 to 81 points Trad
ing In the old crop was not SO active but
the strength of the late positions and
prospects for new crop delay, II no worse
as the result OF the storm caused shorts
increased uneAsiness. and sent prices IA
to IS points net higher.

VITAL PROCESSES OF PLANTS.
RESPECTS in Which Plants Blood Is
Like Animals.
From me Chicago Tribune.

From me Chicago Tribune.
The blood of plants is like the blood Of
animals The red cheeks of apples and
those of the children are produced by en-
tirely similar processes and blood Is not
peculiar to the animal kingdom. And this
truth was discovered by popular instinct
long before it was discovered by science
The farmer gives the name bleeding to
the emulation of sap from cut stens.
branches and roots, and wine is called the
blood of the grape" q designation which
ACQUIRES new Significance in the light Of
modern research. 1t has long been recog-
nized that no sharp boundary line can be
drawn between the animal and vegetable
kingdoms, and that the cleft which SEEM
ed to separate them was artificial.
1t Is now certain that q complete under
standing Of the vital processes of plants
cannot be gained without reference to
those Of animals. 1t is well known. for
example. that the process OF respiration
Is essentially the same in animals and
plants, both of which absorb oxygen and
exhale carbon dioxide formed by the oxi-
dation or combustion Of food and bodily
substance
Prof. Palladin Of st. Petersburg recently
discovered that this identity extends to
the details and successive stages of the
respiratory process. The respiration in
plants. as in animals, is accomplished by
| successive stages. The complex food
stuffs are split up by the agency of sub
stances called engines without the aid
Of oxygen. Different combinations of at
mospheric oxygen with colorless sub
| stances are called chromogens which are
thus converted into pigments.
BY the deoxidizing action OF the living
cell the pigments are again reduced to
chromogens and the oxygen thus liberat-
ed attacks the substances derived from
the complex foodstuffs and converts them
| into carbon dioxide and water the final
products OF normal respiration.
The process and It's various stages are
Identical in plants and in animals. The
| similarity Of the vegetable chromogens
to the substances which serve as reser-
voirs and vehicles Of oxygen in the blood
| OF animals appears more clearly il we
compare the former not with the SUBJ
stances OF higher animals. but with those
| Of the blood OF insects. and crustaceans,
which IL colorless. except when oxidised.
In general plants more closely resemble
the lower than the higher animals. Hence
Paliadin calls the cell sap the blood of
plants.

London Arbitrage Selling.

The opening was explained as due to
London arbitrase selling. which was es-
pecially pronounced In Steel and Union
Pacific. The buying which later set In
had the earmarks Of professional cover
ing.
This buying was also encouraged by q
break in wheat prices. The commodity
markets were watched more closely than
usual today. The cereals and cotton all
opened considerably higher on account Of
the big damage reports from the western
and southern storm centers. AS indicating
continued high prices this opening was a
depressing factor in the stock markets
early trading. But wheat had a rather
precipitous decline after the opening and
corn and oats also turned weak. The
wheat slump was q considerable support
to the later course of stock prices. Pro-
visions were slightly lower The princi-
