BUYING MOVEMENT
AGAIN IN EVIDENCE
Attributed to Too Much
Rain in Southern and
Western Belts

New York, September 13.-The buying
movement which developed in the cotton
market yesterday afternoon was in evil
dence during this mornings trading. Re-
ports of too much rain In the western
and central belts and gulf storm appre-
tensions seemed to account for part of
the demand, while the advance was also
encouraged by reports of better demand
from the trade and publication of bullisn
outlook by one OF the large local spot
cotton houses. Offerings increased on an
advance of a little over 80 from the low
level of yesterday and the market reacted
to 10 points in the late trading, with
the close barely steady at net advance
of 10 to IA points. Houses with Liverpool
connections were sellers on the late de-
cline
The market opened steady at unchanged
prices at an advance of. 8 points. The ca
bles We're about as due, but there were
good many overnight buying orders
around the local ring and prices sold Is
to IS points net higher. Realizing be-
came more of a factor at this level, while
there was also selling for a reaction, but
after some little irregularity the advance
continued until active months were 10 to
% points above the closing figures of last
night Reports that very heavy general
rains had fallen in Texas, Arkansas ana
Louisiana contributed to the early ad-
vance and private wires were received
from some points in Arkansas, claiming
that damage had been done to open cot
ton. The weather bureau reported a dis
turbance just south of Porto Rico and
said that the disturbance noted for the
past two days over Texas was working
eastward with more ased strength.

Cnnperhead Snakes for Pet

Margery Mundy, Merchantville, n. j.,
has aroused the curiosity of her friends
by adopting pet snake which she car
ries about the town with her. The pet S
name is 30. 1t is slightly moro than c2
inches in length, says a Philadelphia dis
patch to the Louisville Herald.
Miss Mundy's parents have found Bo
useful in getting rid of young men who
keep their daughter up after 10 o'clock
at night
Bo is the copperhead variety and comes
from South Carolina. His poison fangs
have been removed, and Miss Mundy has
no fear of him. when she carries him
through the streets he usually is coiled
comfortably about her neck or waist and
thrusts his tongue at everyone she meets.
Because some people are afraid OF Bo,
Miss Mundy says she is going to get a
muzzle for him.

STRONG UNDERTONE
IN COTTON MARKET
Better News From Capital
Regarding Law Aimed at
Cotton Contracts

New Orleans. September 1s.-The
cotton market had strong undertone
throughout today's session. Better
news from Washington regarding leg
islation aimed at cotton contracts was
the main reason for the good feel
ings. The storm warning for the gulf
coast and the growing belief that too
much rain was falling In the western
belt also were bullish influences.
The market opened steady at an ad-
vance of z to IL points in the face of
a lower Liverpool market than due
Morning press dispatches indicating
that the attempt being made to substi
tute market reforms for the tax on
cotton futures was gaining headway
were accepted as a bullish feature of
the highest Importance and The ring
was well supplied with buying orders
from the start. The market gradually
worked higher, with no important set
back until the most active months were
15 to Is points over yesterdays last
quotations. The close was steady at
a net gain of to 10 points.
The weather map and detailed re-
ports showed much rain again in
Texas. Oklahoma and Arkansas and
the outlook appeared to be, according
to trade opinion, for no Important
change in weather conditions over
Sunday. Bulls claimed that the west
ern crop was getting too much moist
ure but the bears continued TO circu-
late favorable crop accounts which
they were receiving from the most
important producing points in Texas.

WHEAT RECEIVES
SPLENDID SUPPORT
Higher Cables and Liberal
Demand From Europe
Send Prices Up

Chicago, September 13-Wheat today re-
ceived excellent support because of higher
cables and liberal demand from Europe.
Although easy at the close, the market
showed a net advance of a shade to 20
sc. Corn finished ss@A@19sc under last
night, oats 1s@l4aesc off and provisions
211sap15c down.
According to a leading authority, the
wheat crop in France was 100000 BUSH
els short compared with last year. There
fore traders were inclined to give sharp
said to have reached 940, 900 bushels. The
foreign inquiry was chiefly for hard
wheats, especially hard winter and
Durum.
Falling off in receipts northwest tended
to prevent any important reaction. There
also were dispatches from Portland, Ore,
telling of big sales of flour for China. In
addition, st. Louis messages were en-
phatic in pointing out that the use OF
wheat instead of corn as feed in the
southwest was daily showing a material
increase.
Belief that the movement from the
country would hold at the current level
all next week or longer, put the corn
market under pressure from short sellers.
Shipping call was light, the east taking
only small quantities. Frost reports
caused a slight bulge at the outset, but
the crop was generally regarded as be-
yond danger.
Oats responded somewhat to corn weak
ness. Commission houses though were
constant buyers at a moderate decline.
Provisions gave way under liquidating
sales by speculative longs, who included
number of stock yards traders. 1nves-
tors took hold well at the lower prices.

Weekly Cotton Statement

New Orleans, September 13--Wide fiuc-
tuations were brought about in the cotton
market this week, upturns being caused
by the more favorable news from Wash
ington regarding legislation against fu-
ture trading and the downward move
ments by the heavy rains in the western
half of the belt, which effectually put an
end to the drouth and caused talk of a
top crop. The net results were an adj
vance of SO to 3S points. The high prices
were made on Tuesday and the low prices
on Friday. At the highest the trading
months were 62 to 65 points over last
weeks close; at the lowest they were to
I points over. The range was 81 to 81
points.
The news from Washington was eagerly
read by the trade, and it was of a tenor
| to cause much buying, first and last
Early in the week the agreement that the
proposed tax on futures, il passed, should
not go into effect for a year was con-
sidered to be very bullsh feature. Later,
when its influence had worked off the
market was again stimulated upward by
the attempt to substitute market reforms
for the tax measures. This attempt caused
a steadier week end than would other
wise have been seen.
Reports from Texas and Oklahoma, es-
pecially the former, were most encour-
aging, compared with what have been
coming from that section or the peit 1or u
long time past. Rain was reported every
day of the week and under the moisture
crop accounts said the appearance of the
crop underwent complete change. Many
counties in Texas that in the time of
drouth, had been talking of crop disas-
ter. went to talking about top crop,
and a fairly large yield These reports
were at all times the source of much
short selling, although offset TO some ex-

In the spot department prices advanced

last year. Sales on the spot amounted to
3725 bales, against 1866 last week and

Not So Conspicuous

Lieutenant governors are usually even
less conspicuous than vice presidents.
Whether their long obscurity has finally
become uncomfortable, or for some other
reason, they are suddenly displaying
signs of activity. and a willingness to as
sumo the responsibilities of power says
the New York Evening Post. The lieu

are SO determined to earn their salaries
that the governors of their states dare
not leave even for so important gath

or's conference, which, meets the latter
part of this month at Colorado Springs.

stock made it the chief feature for time.

New York. September 13-(Special. )-Liv-
erpool about met our advance of yester-
day, and 1T was a surprise that our mar
ket showed so much strength today. OF
course the estimated advance of - points
was not held, but it retained about IA
points.
There Is a growing belief that the yield
this season will not equal the consump-
ton, and that while the market may de-
cline on the heavy movement, there were
too many people waiting for these prices.
Probably the rains in the southwest had
more or less effect in calling attention to
the advance in the basis during the pa st
few days. Anyhow, there were fewer SELL
ers than when the market reported this
ro'nt on Wednesday. while it became evi-

Makes Body TRANSPARENT

a new method of giving medical stu
dents instruction which, it is said, will
largely obviate the necessity of dissec-
ton, will be put into practice at the
Hahnemann Medical college at the be-
ginning of the next term, says the New
York Sun. Physicians and surgeons con-
nected with the department OF anatomy
are now perfecting the process. which
originated through the recent discovery
by a German scientist of fluid by the
use of which the human body can be
rendered transparent.
The fluid. which is composed of several
oils. turns the flesh into a sort of trans
parent jelly when injected, enabling the
student to study the veins, muscles and
bones far better, it is asserted, than if
they resorted to the dissecting knife. 1t
is said to be- one of the most valuable
discoveries in medical science of late
years.
