THE COTTON SITUATION.

Mean old market; won't go down.
Gotten has had a healthy advance,
and Ole that is likely to continue
with temporary setbacks. The sea-
son is now so belated that the most
optimistic Memphis or New Orleans
bear admits that it is against all pre-
cedent to expect bumper crop even
from d large acreage with such late
start. Spinners' takings last week
ran ahead OF the increase in the Wis
ible supply. and if spinners CON
tinue to take ON liberal scale for
the next three months there will com
a time when it will be hard to find
any cotton at all in the hands of the
producers. 1t is an undisputed fact
now that even the cotton held lis in
very strong hands, whether in the
warehouse Or on the plantation.
The English coal strike has gone on
until it's settlement will, We think,
have very little effect upon the mar
ket. Prices are about fifty points
highe.' than when the strike was de-
clared. The weather exercises very
much greater influence on the market
and each week of bad weather doubles
in its influence for the bulls
Middhng cotton is now selling in
Galveston at II 1-16. AS this is
about a fourth of a cent a pound
more than in New York we presume
there will be but little cotton car
ried from Galveston to New York
to deliver ON contract by the shorts.
New York being SO much cheaper mar
ket than either Galveston, New Or
leans Or Liverpool has kept a large
stock of cotton from going to that
market This is another helpful sign
for the bulls.
The only thing which could cause
a serious break in the market at this
time would be the passage of the
Heflin bill preventing spot hedges,
which would cripple the American
markets and make Liverpool the con-
trolling market of the world.
We see no reason to rush amy cot
ton on the market. Hold it for II
cents interior common points and do
not sell it all now Buy contract on
all declines.-Cotton and Cotton Oil

POSTAL DEFICIT GONE.

For the first time since 1883 the
annual financial statement OF the
postoffice department shows a sur
plus instead OF deficit"
This is the burden OF the annual
report of Postmaster General Hitch
cock He indicated that the placing
OF the postal service upon a self-sus
tanning basis meant an improvement
and extension of facilities and at no
distant day one-cent letter postage
At the beginning OF the present ad
ministration in 1909, Mr. Hitchcock
pointed out, the department showed
a deficit of $17,479,77O, the largest on
record In two years this deficit has
been changed into a surplus OF $219,-
118 Extensions made in the service
include 744 new pOstottices, delivery
of mail by carriers in 1876 additional
cities, 2,516 new rural mail routes
aggregating 60,679 miles and 5000 ad.
ditional postal employees, with the
salary roll greater by $14,OOO,OOO than
1t was two years ago.
Preparations are being made to es.
tablish postal savings banks in about
10000 fourth class offices that
do a money order business. In
eleven months operation deposits in
existing postal banks aggregated Sill.
100000
In view of the successful operation
of the postal banks, Mr. Hitchcock
strongly recommended the establish.
ment by congress of an adequate par.
cells post.
The postmaster general reiterated
that the second class postage rate
should be two cents instead of one
cent pound. Sie also urged that by
readjustment OF the pay OF railroads
for transporting the mails, based on
actual cost to the railroads, an annual
saving to the government of at least
$9,0OO,OOO could be effected He pre-
dicted mail carrying by aeroplane in
the near future.

During the year Phelps-Dodge and
Company sold 18O, ,301 ,965 pounds of
copper, of which 4S,974,963 pounds
came from outside properties. The
average price in New York was 1886
cents per pound. From the Copper

cation, which Will reacn me masses oI
farms" Owing to the immensity OF
the task, he declares, the work OF his
bureau has been entirely inadequate
to meet the situation He recon-
mends that at least $4,000 be added
for the next fiscal year to the apprO-
priation for the agricultural educa-
tion work of his office.
Recent state legislation and the ap-
preparations made for such education
indicate rather clearly, he finds, that
this country is committed definitely
to the development and support OF
agricultural education in all it's diff
ferent phases and from the elemen-
tary grades up through the college
and the graduate school.
Owing to the rapidly decreasing
number of wild fowl in this country,
DR.. Henry w. Henshaw, chief OF the
biological survey, expresses the opin-
ion in his annual report to Secretary
OF Agriculture Wilson that there
should be increasingly stringent
laws shortening the open season, a
prohibition OF spring shooting and
decrease of the bag limit" He says
there should be set apart in various
states suitable lakes and ponds for
bird refugees, where migrating water
fowl may resort safely.
1T is becoming apparent" says DIR.
Henshaw, that, even should all the
markets be closed and the sale OF
game prevented, depletion must con-
tinue to follow the rapid conversion
OF the wilderness. The question or
preserves for game and for birds
therefore is becoming increasingly ap-
parent
In this country it is gratifying to
note that game preserves, both pub
lie and private, have increased great
ly in numbers, while here and there
tracts are beginning to be devoted to
nongame birds"

THOUSANDS ARE HOMELESS.

Thirty thousand homeless, two
thousand square miles inundated, thir
ty drowned and financial loss of
ten millions constitute the results of
the two weeks flood in the Missisl-
ippi valley. These figures are taken
from reports of the government en-
gineers and other officials of the
state levee boards engaged in battl-
ing the raging Mississippi.

Mourned As Titanic Dead
 But He Is Still Alive
Of Presbyterian Mission afy.

Washington, Pa, Aug.-Whcn NJ Ss Mauda Powell, a missionary of the Presbyterian Church in China reach- ed Washington today, she learned she had been mourned as dead ard that only few weeks. ago funeral services in her memory had been held in a lecal church. 1t had been believed that Miss Powell was lost in the Titan c disas CT. She had iCtend- ed to cross en that ill-fated vessel, but at the last minute she changed her booking to an1ther steamer.
 Miss Powell after deciding that she would come by anpher line wrote friends here,.,. but the letters never arrived. Miss Powell credits her es- cape from the Titanic :saster to her childhood interest in Westminster Abbey. All her life, she says, she had been anxious to see that his his- toric pile, and when she did reach London she could .nct. tear herself away 1t was her desire to spend mere time in the abbey that led her to change her sailing date.

Mothers should be careful nai to overfeed children during thc hot months. No one requires as much food in summer as they do ill cold weather. Serve only the lighter and more easily digested foods, and soc that the milk is kept cool and the fruit ripe.
 It is quite natural to expect some disturbance, such as constipation, in- digestion, or summer diarrhoea, often accompanied by cold. A mild laNa- tive at bed time will, in most cases carry off the congested waste from the stomach next morning and b@ cleaning the bowels restore normal conditions.
 Cathartic remedies and purgatiVeS should never be used for children. They are harsh and violent in their system. The combination of simple laxative herbs with pepsin, known as Er. CaldWell's Syrup Pcpsin, and sold by druggists for fifty cents a bot tie, is now very generally used to correct stomach and bowel trouble. 1t is mild and pleasant to the taste and contains DO drastic drug, or narcotic, but acts naturally and easily, yet most effectively. A larger bottle, contain ing more than twice the quantity, is sold for one dollar. If you have HcV- CT used Syrup Pepsin and would like a free trial bottle, postpaid, write to Pr. w. B. Caldwell, 406 Washington St., Monticello, Illinois.

Negro Bremen Protest
 Against Proposed Law
Would Bar Many Whites As We'll As
 Blacks In Georgia.

Atlauta, Ga., Aug. S.-'Negro loco- motive firemen in Georgia today pro tested against a bill pending n the State legislature, which seeEs to bar them from employment on Georgia railroads. The measure, which is ad- mitted to be aimed at the negro and whicn is being urged for passage by the Georgia Federal on, of Trades, makes no reference to colcr or con ditions which would make it uneon- stitutional, but provides such dras- tic educational qualifications that it is sa d. few negroes could meet the test Opponents of the measure also say that hundreds of white firemen would be thrown Ut of employment by it's passage.
 Discussion of the bill was schedul- ed fo come up in the lower house of the legislature today.

New Orleans Gotten.

New Orleans, Aus -Cotton-t'u- lures opened steady at an advance of 1M3 points on good cables, both of fical and private. English futures were higher than due and private ad- vices expressed confidence in the present level of values. The wealth CT map was again very favorable, being wet and cloudy with consider able rain indicated in Texas and Ok Iahoma, The forecast promised more rain, which revived hope among the bear element that this will be a wet well l.alanccd the market did not move much and at the end of the first half hour of business prices stood 3M points up.
 Futures opened steady. August 12.42c; September, 12.40c bid; Octob- CT, 12.33c bid; December, 12.33@ 12.34c; January, 12.37M12.3Sc; March 12.47@12.49c; May, 12.57M12.59c.
 Toward the middle of the morning the market weakened rapidly under bearish crop accounts from nearly all sections of Georgia. Offerings from both sides increased and prices crullbled away until the most active months were 29031 points down. No support was offered the market on the way down, but finally around 12.O5c for October shorts began to take profits. Buying from this source checked the decline and brought about moderate recovery, the market at noon standing 1SM21 points under A feature of the morning was the re- ceipt here of the first bale of the new crop in Alabama. It was shipped here from Montgomery and was sold at auction, bringing 20c per pound
 New York Cotton.
 New York, Aug. S.-Cotton opened firm at an advance of sell points this morning and sold 10M12 points net higher right after the call on covering. There was some demand from trade sources and moderate sup port from some of the old bull brok- CTS hut with the weather news show ing continued showers or rains in the South, offerings increased on the ad- vance and the market during the mid de of the morning was nervous and

 Futures opened firm. January. i2.26@ l2.21e; February, 1233c bid;

 Private weather predictions and ru- mors that the spot basis was begin- ming to weaken in the Southwest weakened the market later in the forenoon. Prices made new low ground for the movement under re- neWed general liquidation or bear pressure and the market at noon was about 190117 points.
 The market continued very nervous and unsettled during the early after noon and some of the new crop months broke through at 12c level. W ta October contracts selling at H. 91c, or about 19@20 points under yes- terday's closing figures.
