New York, August s.-The bull move

vigor which quickly advanced prices to
a new high level. At one time the new
crop positions were "a points higher than
the close of Saturday. Final prices for
the day on the whole list were Is to IS

firm.
The market opened strong and 10 points
higher in response to a dry Sunday
Private advices again reiterated that the
showers in that state last week were en-
tirely insufficient and had accomplished
little good. There was return of high
err temperature also over Sunday, which
still further complicated the situation and

Liverpool were good buyers throughout
the day.
Reactions after the opening were few
and unimportant Southern spot markets
all showed advances and spot cotton here
was being sold on the basis of 151sc for
middling or the highest price of the sea-
son. There was said to be an inquiry
not nearly so large as last week, but
Liverpool and the continental sources
were more anxious than the domestic
operators. Liverpool was decidedly more
stronger on the bullish news from Texas
and heavy covering started.
Both August and September in New
York were strong, with the bulls appar-
emily in full control.
Receipts of cotton at the ports today
wore 500 bales. against 761 last week,

BARELY MISSES
CATCHING EL0PERS

New York. August s-(Special.)
w. Waterman of Denver missed catching
his clipping daughter by few minutes.
Just after the Red Cross steamship Bornu
had cast off her lines today taxicab
dashed up to the pier and a stout, elderly
man jumped out and ran down the pier
shouting:
stop the ship. Stop the ship! Give me
back my daughter!'
The Bornu was then in the stream and
on her stood a young man and woman
waving handkerchefs to the crowd which
had gathered to see friends sail for st.
Johns, New Foundland.
'Tll make you pay for this you young
robber'' yelled the old man. When he
saw he was helpless, he said: MY name
is Henry w. Waterman of Denver, and
that young man is Eugene Curley of my
town. My daughter, Agnes, is % years old
and ought to know better than to run
away without telling me where she is go
ing. But it is all his work and I'll make
him pay for it. 1 never did like him."
On Monday they disappeared and after
considerable questioning he learned they
had taken a train to Chicago He fol-

rumored around the middle of the morn

morning prices were rs to 27 points over
Saturdays closing. At noon there was a
reaction of to points as the result of
wholesale profit-taking. A feature of the
morning was the receipt of the first bale
of the new Louisiana crop 1t was shipped
from Rayne, weighed 500 pounds and
classed strict middlng. At noon it was
sold at auction for II cents a pound.
In the afternoon session the market was
