WEEKLY COTTON REVIEW.
(By Associated Press.)

New York, May 12.-Weekly Cotton
Review: Prices nave advanced espe-
cially on August which has led the
rise with an upward turn Of over So a
bale. New high records have been es-
tablished in July SO far as this move
ment Of prices is concerned. The only
explanation Is a Tightening of the coils
around the short interest in the old
crop months, both at home and
abroad. The bulls have fulfilled their
months 6 that as the season dvanc-
ed prices would rise through the in
~creasing strength of the statistical po-
SitiOn.
Everywhere supplies are decreasing
more rapidly than q year ago, The
New York certificates stock has latter
~ lost in a single day over 1000 bales.
The spinners takings keep up at a
rate that plainly surprises the bears,
all Of whom are mystified by the per-
sistent strength Of the general situa-
ton. The plague in India, it is now
animated, causes an embargo to be
placed on shipments of cotton to Eu-
rope from India, lest the pest be. intro
ouced there by this means. Lancashire
is doing a good business; it's mills are
prosperous. M. c. D. Borden has just
bought nearly half a million pieces
or narrow cotton goods, clearing the
market OF cumbersome supplies, and

sooner or later take part. The spot
markets for raw cotton are firm, so
firm that New York instead of gaining
cotton, is actually losing it. The short
interest in the old crop months is still
supposed to be of rather liberal pro
portlons. In the new crop months, 1t
Is belleVed to be very large. The out
side public has shown more interest
IN the speculation, The West has
bought Tor both sides of the account
which the shorts in May wheat have
recently been subjected to. There
nave been some complaints of unduly
low temperatures in the South. Yet
on the whole the crop is believed to
be doing well. The short interest in
the SIC crop has been greatly reduced
on the recent rise. Leading bulls have
been heavy sellers. The cotton goods
trade is anything but active yet. Pres
ent indications point to an unusually

FEED TAG DEMAND
 NOT YET SUPPLIED

Despite the fact that 215,OOO tags for mixed feeds, a tax upon which must be paid in accord. ance with an act of the last leg islature, have been delivered to Com missioner Sloan, all the de- mand has not yet been supplied. and instead of putting the feed act into force on Aug. 10, as was announced some weeks ago, Com missioner Sloan has been forced to put this off until Aug. 15. He hopes to have an unlimited sup ply of tags by that time, but so far the printers have been un- able to keep up with the demand much less get supply ahead. Commissioner Sloan has ordered 1 1,C00,000 tags for immediate de livery. lie cannot enforce the law rigidly if be has no tags to sell the feed people who desire to comply with the. law and ex- press willingne ss to buy them.
 Commissioner Sloan has is sued to the feed dealers a circu- lar letter setting forth exactly upon what they will be expected to pay the tax. He says a tax will be required upon all mixed feeds, and all ground or cracked feeds whether they be mixed or not, with the exception of unadultera- ted rye, wheat, corn, buckwheat bran, shorts and middlings.

Many complaints of cotton shedding have reached the De partment of Agriculture within the past few days. Some of the renorts state the cotton is she'd ing so rapidly that if the present hot and humid condition contin. ues for the next week, fully half the crop will be lost. c. R. Roe buck, of Haynes has written to the Department complaining of a cotton worm or cotton cotton cat erpillar which is working great damage upon the cotton in the Iowlands. He asks where arse. nate of lead may be secured to fight the evil, and the desired in formation has been sent, togeth CT with the advice to use the lead by all means, instead of paris green, which some advocate ,as the lead will not kill off the leaves of the plant like paris green has always been known to do.

PENSION BOARD HAS
 COME TO A STOP

The State Pension Board is now at standstill, being unable to proceed or recede, on account of the mistakes which many ap- licants have made. Many of the pensions came in without proof of indigency, others without proof of service in the Con- federate Army. As both are very necessary, ana pensions cannot be granted without favor able answers to both, the Board must wait until several hundred which have been returned to the counties, are sent back properly made out. This is the fault of the county pension boards, and next year the county boards will receive some very explicit ln- struction of pension matters so they will not cause the state de. lay and expense by holding the pension board a number of days longer than necessary. The board will be in session about two weeks yet.
