HEAVY SELLING OF NEW
CROPS ON GOOD RAINS
Thousands of Bales of Cotton
Thrown Overheard and
Thousands Sold Short

NEW ORLEANS. July 6z-The price OF the
most active new crop deliveries in the cotton
market broke a quarter OF a cent pound
this morning as the result OF rains in Texas and
oklahoma For over an hour after the opening
the hraviest selling In months was done, and
II appeared 10 he about equally divided be-
tween long and short accounts.
On the opening the new crops were IL TO IL
points down. BY The middle of the morning
they were "a TO % points down. October dis
played the most activity and the widest de-
cline. The slump of 20 points equivalent
to 81 25 bale. Thousands Of bales of long
cotton were thrown overheard on this decline
aud many thousand bales OF cotton were sold
short. Bulls made no effort to support the new
crop months. and all the buying orders came
FROM shorts who we're satisfied with their
profits
The weather map did not show much, IL. any,
rain IN the weat but private kilograms told Of
showers wen scattered over both Texas and
ports from the weather bureau confirmed pri-
vate messages Such rains 40 inches at
Ardmore, Okla, and 2. Ia at Nacogdoches, Tex.
were taken BY The bear side to mean that the
long drawn out drouth had been permanent
broken The forecast Of unsettled and showery
weather in the western half of the cotton re-
giOn increased the disposition TO sell short,
and great many new short lines were put out
under IS 10 for October.
The old crop deliveries received determined
support from leading longs and July was kept
Mt c5l. or 4 points over yesterdays close, until
well into the morning. AT this price Frank b.
Hayne bid for $4,000 bales. but the ring sold
him only a few hundred bales.

One Incentive for Trusts

James II. Pest, president OF the National
Sugar Refining company of New Jersey, testi-
fled before tie house committee that II. o..
Havemeyer received 10 million dollars in the
stock of that company a reward for organ
izing it, This stock has since earned 2h mill
lion dollars in dividends. and this PA million
dollars has been paid by the consumers Of SUI
gar That is how they shared in the econo-
mics OF operation" as Wall street is accus-
toned to say.
Judge Gary recently testified before the house
committee that is Investigating the steel trust
that the Morgan syndicate received 100 million
dollars for organizing the United States Steel
corporation, half in preferred stock and half in
common. The expenses OF organization were
placed at 3 million dollars and the syndicate
turned over % million dollars in cash to the
corporation. The rest was profit.
This Is a familiar story Of trust organization
The public Is smngly informed that the trust
Is the result OF a natural and inevitable tend
ency toward combination In a majority OF
cases the trust Is the result OF a shrewd pro-
moter's seeing opportunity for enormous per-
sonal profits. Whether 1t happens TO be Nor

sugar. The money comes out OF the consumer 3

Mrs. s B. Jones, Live Oak, Fla.
had a fine Rhode Island Red pullet
that was taken sick a week or ten
days ago, just droopy. l physicked
her out good with salts and sulphur
and she seemed to improve just a lit
tie and in a day or so became worse
and refused to eat several days before
she died. She had dysentery, Of a
greenish color with substance or
white. Please advise If 1T was cholera
or what II was, as I fear others may
take it. She was just year old, and
commenced laying at IL months old.
Had raised two filters of chicks and
had just weaned her last bunch. She
was a fine layer and one of the best
mothers 1 ever saw.
ANSWER:
Evidently the pullet's system was
deranged-probably caused from the
weakened stage of her system, or eat
ing something that did not agree with
her. From the description given, she
evidently had Indigestion and her liver
was not working as 1t should. Occas-
ionaIly such things win happen to a
chicken from no apparent cause, and
there does not seem to be anything
we can possibly do for them. 1t Is hard
to lose such birds but the very ones
we think most of will occasionally die
on us. If you had made post mortem
examination of her, you would prob
ably have found some direct cause for
this. I do not think you need have
any fear about the disease being con-
tagious However, it would not be a
bad idea to physic your chickens out
good with some good condition pow
ders, and with plenty of charcoal in
their feed

my old chickens have a disease I
would like very much If you could tell
what it is and give me remedy. At
first sign, they seem to stand around
and want to sleep all the time, then
they begin dropping for a day or two
and die. Before they get droopy they
have a cough and run at the nostrils
and mouth. From that they begin
dropping and then a growth comes
in their mouth right under the tongue
that looks white. While this growth
is grown to the flesh, it is easily
scraped of. will appreciate very

Then divide them into smaller fiocks-

house should really be a shed to pro-

Daisy Bell Cason, Warrenton, Ga:
Please tell me if there is any way
to make the hens mouh early, so that
1 may get eggs early in the fall.
Also, what is the best grain to plant
for the chickens to Craze on In winter
and how soon may I plant it?
ANSWER:
Your hens should be given free
range now, and give them bulky food,
such as scalded oats and bran. Give
them free range for the next month
or six weeks and let them take lots
of exercise and do not try to get any
eggs from them during July and Aug

feeding them heavily on variety of
