PYGMY HIPPO POPULAR
New Species of Animal Attracts
Crowds to the London Zoo

Not because he is so beautiful but be-
cause he is so queer and so little, the
crowds stand about watching the pygmy
hippopotamus that has recently arrived
In London from Liberia and been added
to the attractions of the geological gar
dens.
He is a baby hippopotamus, but he is
not likely to grow very much larger. His
length including the tail, Is less than
four feet. and he is only two feet and
eight inches high. The legs are longer
and more slender and the head larger
than those Of the ordinary hippopotamus,
and his wide spreading feet suggest that
he is accustomed to living on marshy
ground. He is more like a smooth
skinned pig than an aquatic animal.
The pygmy hippopotamus did not lose
his appetite in being transported so far
from his native land. but eats heartily,
preferring carrots and other succulent
roots as articles of diet. To make him
feel at home The has been provided with
bath so warm that it steams. and this
he seems to enjoy hugely, says the Lon
don Sphere.
As the experiment of adopting the pyg-
my hippopotamus to alien conditions was
fraueht with so much uncertainty. 1t was
agreed that certain proportion of the
price was to be paid only il he lived until
next October. From his present appear
ance IT seems likely that the entire
amount will be collected.

COTTON MARKET IS
ACTIVE AND EXCITED
Prices Make New High
Ground on General
Buying

New York. August 25.-The cotton mar
ket was active and excited today, with
prices making new high ground for the
movement ON general buying. which re-
lected increasing apprehension of an un-
favorable new crop outturn. There was
heavy realizing on the advance and some
of the old bull interest were credited with
taking profits on fully 10000 bales, but
fresh buying for long account and further
coverinA prevented anything more than
slight reactions. and the market closed
very steady at a net gain of from . to .
points.
Early weather advices indicated that the
scattered showers reported on the decline
of Friday had been followed by a renewal
of dry weather in the southwest, and bull
lish private crop accounts seemed to have
attracted considerable attention abroad
and the cables showed a sharp advance.
The local market opened firm at an ad-
vance of IL to IL points in CONSEQUENCE
and quickly sold about 10 to % points net
higher Realizing caused slight reactions
from this level but the report of prom
inent Memphis authority placing the av-
erage condition of the crop at only 69.b,
against 79.6 last month, and l4S last year.
was against any aggressive selllns 1or
short account. Local bulls, who hao been
active buyers last week, We're credited
with selling freely on the advance, Dut
houses with foreign connections, New Or
leans, Memphis and the southwest, We're
buyers here, while there was also an ac-
tive demand from Wall street and local
shorts. This readily absorbed realizing
sales, and the market reached the pest
point of the day in the late trading, when
December and later deliveries made new
high records for the season.
Closing prices were within a point or two
of the best In addition to the unfavorable
condition reports from Memphis, there
were numerous private advices claiming
a poor crop outlook from both western
and eastern sections of the belt, and one
of the private wires from oklahoma esti-
mated the crop in that state at only 100000
bales.
Expectations of a bullish weekly
weather report and of other bullish pri-
vate condition reports before the end OF
the week doubtless contributed to the ad-
vance.

MARKET TAKES ON
ASTRONG ADVANCE
Continued Crop Deteriora-
ton in the South
west

New orleans. August 25.--The cot
ton market took on a strong advance
today on continued crop deterioration
in Texas and Oklahoma as the result
OF drouth and high temperatures.
Alarming stories of crop failure came
in from many points In the two states
and were accompanied by small crop
estimates. A feature of the day was the
private bureau estimates of condition
that were circulated. They put the loss
in condition for August at about 10
points. Much of the buying of the day
resulted from this.
The opening was very steady at an
advance of Is to 81 points Cables were
better than expected the weather map
was dry. the forecast predicting con-
tinued fair weather for the cotton re-
gion generally and much bull.sh COM
ment was excited by low condition esti-
mates and small crop talk. Longs took
profits freely throughout the day and
their offerings were heavy enough at
times to cause setbacks. The mark Ell
always recovered. however and then
worked higher Shorts bought covers OH
large scale but good part of the
demand appeared to come from traders
on the long side. In the afternoon the
market was forced up to level "a to
% points over last weeks final quota
tions. The close was steady at a net
gain of 3S to 35 points.

WEAK CORN MARKET
CLOSES UP STRONG
Influential Buying Toward
ClOse-Net Advance of
1-4c to 3-S01-2c

Chicago, August 25.-Influential buying
in tie final hour turned weak corn mar
ket into a strong one today. prices at the
close showing a net advance of &c to asa0
1scc Wheat finished shade to &c high
er oats unchanged to sc up and provi-
sions irregular, TIC lower to &c higher.
The uplift in corn came on reports Of
scarcity in varied sections. Buffalo said
scarcely a car OF spot corn was for sale
there; Kansas points were said TO be out
of corn and using wehat for feed; Ten
nessee farmers reported that for the first
time in the states history except after
floods, the bottom lands have failed to
make a corn crop; from Nebraska came
reports of an expert that in the last three
weeks the crop there had gone back "a
per cent and that no relief was in sight.
Early weakness due to reports of good
weather in most of the corn belt gave way
to strength when some Of the leading 3
houses who had been sellers turned buy
ers. The market closed at or near the
high point of the day.
Wheat followed corn. hardening during
the last part of the session. There was
some buying for export fasteners taking
about $1,000 bushels and other sales are
said to be in prospect. This and the late
strength of corn offset the feeling that
had been manifest early ON reports of fine
weather all over the domestic belt. Short
covering helped harden prices toward the
close.
Export clearances of wheat and flour at
seaboard equalled $50, 900 bushels. Primary
receipts of wheat today We're 1,54l 600,
against 1,742,000 bushels year ago.
There was a good deal of selling pres
sure in oats until toward the close when
some Improvement in demand stiffened
prices.
Provisions were quiet and easy, the best
show of strength being on some good buy
ing of pork near the close.

TRADING ON LIMITED
SCALE IN STOCKS
Encouraging Advices Re-
ceiyed Concerning the
Steel Trade

New York, August 25.-There was no
expectation today that movements in
stocks would reveal any definite eonclu-
sions on the part of the professional
traders who nave taken almost exclusive
charge of the market recently. Relations
between this country and Mexico are
recognized on every hand as the most
important factor in the present situation
and there was q strong disinclination to
make new commitments pending the eX-
pected publication tomorrow of President
Wilson's message on the subject. Trad
ing was ON limited scale, final quota
tions disclosing few changes of as much
rs a point on the day among the more
active stocks.
In spite of the llesitancy, the undertone
was fairly strong and in the early trad
Ing there was a rather general advance.
The days news while not sufficiently i'm
portant to exert a marked Influence on
values was of the kind which makes for
optimism. London was cheerful after the
holiday and American stocks were gen.
orally higher there. Further encourage
ment in advices were received concern
ing the steel trade. Several large New
England cotton mills resumed operations
after long period of idleness
Copper stocks were helped by the ad-
vance of the copper metal in London and
by expectations that the forthcoming re-
port of the producers association will re-
veal favorable position.
Among the special movements Can
stocks We're conspicuous, both common
and preferred rising smartly. st. Paul,
the coalers and the metal stocks were
strongest Of the standard shares. The
Hartman issues Jagged behind. Profit
taking sales caused a general recession
