Apple Crop 60 Be
Small This Year

The scarcity OF apple blossoms in
local orchards indicates that the ape
pie crop. here as elsewhere In the,
state. is going to be small this year
Not many apple trees. that should be
in bloom at this time. have put out
very many blossoms. Some Duchess Of
Oldenburg trees have some blossoms.
but the other varieties have even fewer
blossoms. The exact cause for this IL
not known, altho the theory has been
advanced that because Of the extreme
dry weather late last summer the fruit
buds did not form.
II this is the reason it is hard to exc
plain why the same cause would not
have brought a similar result In cherry
and plum trees, which are covered
with blossoms everywhere.

An unknown woman, a foreigner,
who was a passenger out OF this city
for Eldora Thursday evening, had a
close call from death when she ran in
front Of train No. 2. from the north
on the NJ. & ST. L. The fact that En-
gineer Frank Daster had his train un-
der control is all that saved the wom
ans life, as the locomotive was not
more than three feet from her when
brought TO a stop.
The woman was hurryine to catch
No. north. and was headed east She
failed TO notice the approach OF the
train pulling in from the west, and ran
diasonally across the tracks in front

miss her train that she paid no at
tention TO the cries Of people who
feared she would be cut to pieces.

New Orleans Cotton

New Orleans, Aug, 27-Cotton- Futures opened steady at a decline of SOC points on poor cables and en- couraging crop and weather accounts from the e ton belt. The weather map was cloudy ard wet, except in the extreme eastern and western portions of the cotton region, and those bearisaiy inclined based fresh sales on 1t. Little or no support was offered in the early trading and even the demand for covering from shorts was net large. At the end of the first half hour prices were 70S points down.
 Futures opened steady, September, 1100M11.0Sc; October, 11.020l1 II .33c j; December, 1104@11.05c; January Il OS@11.o9c; March 11.2o@11.22c bid; May, 11.30@11.32c.
 Market weakness was displayed al ound the middle of the morning and the general opinion was that the pressure came from hedge selling There appeared to be little desire among spectators to sell short, ex- cept in a scalping way. Sca!pers diI follow the decline for few points but were quick to take profi,s and their purchases of covers steadied the 1 market at the decline. The run or that hedge selling was going OH served to call attention to receip' a; Texas points, which were larger than on the same day last year. A noon prices were 15@16 points u9del yesterdays close.
 In the afternoon selling pressure i con inued for some time. At the lew est prices were 17@1S points down ] Shorts took profits heavily and fresl long buying apparently for a turl struck the market and prices quick i -ly stiffened At o'clock the tradin,
 months were only points under yes 1 terday's final figures.
