Are children growing less re-
spectful to their parents? The
other day we heard a young fell
low speak very disrespectfully to
his mother, and we saw that
mothers eyes-ill with tears. She
said nothing, but of course she
felt a great deal. It cut her like
a sharp knife. That boy has ev-
identity forgotten that his mother
has spent a very many sleepless
nights looking after him when
he was on a sick bed. he does
not remember how his mother is
always ready to comfort and
sooth him when the whole world
seems blue; how she is always
looking after him to see that his
clothes look neat and clean; he
does not seem to know that his
mother will lie for him in the
presence of other mothers; how
she will tell how good her boy is,
and how proud she is Of him.
That boy is a brute, and if we
ever hear, him speak disrespect-
fully to that mother again we
are going to tell hima few things.

Weekly Cotton Review

New Orleans, July 19.--The price OF
cotton this week was held up by the
hot dry weather prevailing over the
belt. Speculation for a rise, however,
was discouraged by the efforts to press
the amendment to the tariff bill, put
ting tax on future trading in cotton
The net results of the weeks business
In contracts We're an advance of 13
to IA points. The high prices were
made on Saturday and the low prices
on Monday and Tuesday At the highest
the trading months were 10 to 21 points
over last weeks close; at the lowest
they were to points under. The
range was 81 to 20 points
During most of the week abnormally
dry weather prevailed over the cotton
region. Temperatures were moderately
high and the result was that plants did
not make satisfactory growth although
some very small plants being reported
with blooms to the very top. This led
to reports of forced maturity and to
fears of premature opening of bolls.
Without the agitation against future
trading 1t is probable that stiff ad Z
vance in prices would have taken place.
Trading was chiefly confined to the
new crop months and it was almost
entirely weather market. The statis-
tics of the week were interesting but
did not increase interest in the old crop
months. Mill takings for the week were
put by Hester at 10000 bales against
10000 this week last year and 10000
this week two years ago. This was
taken by the bulls as full proof of their
contention that mills are doing a large
business
In the spot department prices were
unchanged the week through, middling
closing at 127-16c against ~ 7-16c last
week and l3hc this week last year.
Sales on the spot amounted to sos bales
against $50 last week and 639 this week
last year. Sales to arrive amounted TO
192 bales against 1896 last week and
116S this week last year

NEW CROP OUTLOOK
CONTINUES NERVOUS
Hot Weather Over Eastern
Belt Affecting Cotton
Market

New York, July 19-Continued hot
weather over the eastern belt which re-
ports of record breaking temperature in
Georgia caused further nervousness over
the new crop outlook in the cotton mar
ket this morning and prices made new
high ground for the movement Trading
was not active and there was moderate
realizing for over the weekend, but offer
ings were readily taken by short, fresh
buyers for long account, or trade inter-
ests and the close was firm at net
advance of l to s points. The ruling of
the cables did not indicate any particular
apprehension of new crop damage abroad,
as Liverpool futures We're a shade lower
than due on the New York close of yester-
day. The increased demand in the Eng
lish spot market, however, made the
showing a fairly steady one, and the
opening here was points lower on July
but generally to points higher. Profit
taking was active enough to cause some
rregularity right after the call and
little scattered selling may have been in
spired prospects for cooler weather with
probable showers in the western belt
but the market soon steadied up, and be-
came firm on the detailed weather reports
which showed temperatures ranging up to
los degrees In one of the Georgia stations
with several eastern belt points report
Ing los to 107. Closing prices were prac-
tically the best of the day. Old crop
months were relatively quiet and easy
during the entire morning notwithstand-
ing further Withdrawals from the local
certified stock Private crop reports re-
manned more or less conflicting. Texas
railroads are said to be preparing to han
die record breaking crop and SO far
the high temperatures in the easten belt
have brought in very few complaints but
there were scattering reports of deteriora-
ton and those who take a bullish view of
the crop situation claim that present con-
6itions will not help the plant through
the usually trying month of August.

HEAVY SELLING IS
DONE IN WHEAT PIT
Close Steady at Isolde
Above Previous Night.
Favorable Weather

Chicago, July 19.-Hope that the spring
crop would escape serious damage from
rust, took increasing attention today, and
lowered the price of wheat. The mar
lxet closed steady at 1sc to nc under last
night. Corn finished 1sc to 1sGAc higher.
Oats up &c to &c. and provisions varied
from 5Q71sc decline to an advance of
121kc.
Favorable weather northwest disposed
the wheat pit to accept a cheerful view
of field conditions. The fact that cables
were firmer seemed to count for little
against the statement that velvet chaff
was already being cut in South Dakota,
and that the North Dakota harvest would
be in progress by August 1. In this con-
nection. some heavy selling was done on
the idea that the threatened harm from
rust would be eluded in good time.
Commission houses were moderate buy
ers on the decline, and helped the mar
ket to react from the low point of the
day. Late strength of coarse grain also
was a factor in checking the wheat bears
toward the close.
Primary receipts of wheat, 1851 ,0o0
bushels; year ago, 1.119.00o bushels. Sea
board clearances of wheat and flour
equaled 222, 900 bushels.
Although rain and cooler weather west
and southwest eased corn at first. higher
prices ruled in the end. It was held
that the moisture was not sufficiently
general and there was but little change
in the bullish character of dispatches
from the districts where damage was
alleged.
In oats a special feature was the ac-
tive buying of December for outside ac-
count. The crop in Missouri was said
to be almost a failure.
Realizing sales by longs formed the
rule in most of the provision options.
The main reason was the prospect of a
more liberal supply of hogs next week.
