NEW YORK COTTON MARKET

NEW YORK Aug. 22.-During the pc
riod Of opening call heavy buying deveI-
oped. which prevented all months but
October from responding to the weakness
in Liverpool. This buying continued at
intervals all during the days trading,
causing very erratic market, and the
general opinion seems to be that some
large short lines are being covered. In
the interior spot markets i'm Texas were
reported easier under the pressure of in
creasing receipts. This is not surpris-
ing. as spinners can much better af-
ford to buy contracts in New York at
the present at very great discount For
the past six months all southern spot
markets have been entirely too high COM
pared with futures. due to the scarcity
OF white cotton and the present read
juStment is therefore natural. but it does
not follow that futures should decline
also. Private wires reported boil Wee
vii and worms damaging all blooms and
half grown bolls in East Texas. There
is said to be deterioration all over the
state. and especially from Waco south
where the drought has never been broken.
The market continues in a fine scalping
position. Following is the range of quo

Mistaken Idea

Many persons gaze at glass
jar fruit exhibit believing that
all that was necessary in the
process was to fill the vessels
with alcohol, put in the fruit and
put on the lid. F. E. Roeseler
of the Kansas City Southern
Railway shattered that belief
yesterday.
"Alcohol," he said, els no
good for preserving fruit and
Vegetable specimens"
Mr.. Roessler worked amid
vessels of sulphate of copper,
tormaldehyde, alum, boracic
acid, sulphurous acid and other
chemicals as he talked. He was
preparing a 25O-jar exhibit for
the Kansas City Real Estate Ex-
change and was making addl-
tons to the exhibits the railroad
will have at state fairs in Ne
braska, Wisconsin and other
states this fall.
Fruits require different
treatments" Mr.. Roessler said.
Alcohol is all right to preserve
fish or an animal organism in,
but it wont do for fruit. Like
wise if you placed a fish in the
solution that maintains this fruit
in a natural appearance you
wouldn't have any fish in forty
eight hours. There would be
only the backbone left. And in
forty-eight more there wouldn't
be backbone. The entire fish
would have been dissolved"
