Rigging cotton futures Market

'It will probably be interesting to many

manipulators. July contracts for cotton

the last day of this month. In cases
where obstinate bulls hold on by putting
UP margins until the very last, the par
ties owning cotton on July contracts,
serve notice on say the 9th, that they
intend to deliver actual cotton; the grade
or class is unknown to the purchaser.

,rh. Iron Market

The local pig metal market Is quoted

basis. The Republic Iron and steel
company has sold considerable tonnage
at s11. the purchasers being in the
southern territory. The market is up
ward and much better prices are ex-
nected TO be ruling within the next
two weeks.
Matthew Addy & Co.'S Cincinnati re-
port says: 1.-The pig iron market is
decidedly active and there Is very
much more optimistic feeling in re-
gard to prospects for the balance of
the year.
sThe favorable reports in regard to
the enormous earnings of certain large
melters have acted as stimulus on
the situation and the past few days
have seen some very heavy buying.
Steel making irons are particularly In
demand, not only in the Pittsburg dis
trict but in all parts of the country
and some extraordinarily large orders
have been placed.
southern foundry irons are grow
ing stronger and there are apparently
no bargain lots to be had today. inc
large tonnage booked has been swelled
by a round lot for export.
''In the east there are number OF
good inquiries out and the sales or
the past week have been more than
satisfactory. Where producers a short
time ago were willing to make con-
cessions in prices to take business,
they are holding firm today.
Interest is being shown in iron for
next year but furnacemen are almost
unit in declining to quote for de-
livery beyond 1918, excepting, at con-
siderable advance While most of the
inquiries and orders are for the ball
ance of the year the spot shipment
business is remarkably good.
"There are fewer REQUESTS to hold
up shipments than usual at this time

tions to rush and trace. All of this

GULL OUT THE OLD EWES.
They Do Not Pay In Wool, Flesh OF

They Do Not Pay In Wool, Flesh or
Lambs For Their Keep.
Usually by the time that a W has

do not hesitate to Gull out these old
grandmothers before they 90 down
hill. They usually pick up in flesh
shortly after weaving time and can
be best marketed just as they come
from pasture without f%attening.
Old ewes "break in the mouth" SO
to speak, and cannot eat. Naturally
they keep going down in flesh, waste
much Of their food. and frequently
their mouths get SO sore they will not
take sufficient food to fatten them.
The wool becomes shorter and shorter
with advancing age, says the Farm
Press, and lacks several pounds Of the
weights they shear in their prime.
Lambs from old ewes are never as
satisfactory. The milk supply falls
short, and the lamb is dwarfed and
stunted so that 1t makes a
thrifty feeder.
Their presence in the flock detracts
from its appearance and value. One
or two old ewes in a flock Of prime
breeders will often hurt the sale value
as much as a dollar a head. For these
reasons. then. Gull closely and keep
only the best prime breeding ewes.
With the price Of mutton and wool so
low as 1t is the grower cannot Afford to
keep other than those from which the
best returns can be expected.
