COTTON STEADY
IN NEW ORLEANS
Dry Weather in Cotton Belt
and Promise of More
Affects Market

New orleans, July 1.-THE cotton
market held fairly steady during the
morning session today but in the aft
ernoon some weakness was displayed
and prices fell off for a small net de-
cline. Dry weather in the belt and the
promise of more to come caused mod
crate buying and small offerings early
in the day but in the afternoon Of
ferings increased on reports of freer
offerings of new crop cotton and pes
simistic advices concerning foreign po-
htical conditions. At no time were the
bulls or bears aggressive and the total
volume of business done was small.
The market opened steady, unchanged
TO points down, compared with the
final quotations of yesterday. Cables
were not as good as due and foreign
political news was not reassuring but
any tendency TO sell on these features
was checked by the drouthy conditions
In the belt as portrayed by the wealth
er map and by the forecast of con-
tnued fair weather for the entire cot
ton region. 1t was claimed early In the
day that spot interests were good buy
ers of new crop cotton but the gossip
of the day made IL appear that the de-
mand for new crop cotton was not as
large as the supply. At the highest OF
the morning prices were unchanged to
a point up, compared with yesterdays
close. In the afternoon the market
sagged gradually until the trading
months were to points under yes
terdays last quotations.
The close was steady at a net loss
of to points.

Queer Food Theories

NOWOddyS eating mas become a Nef1t-
able science, and there are those who as
-sert that man can alter his very chnr-
acter If he will only indulge in the right
kind of diet, says Tit-Bits. The other
day the private secretary of the mahara-
Jah or Jhalawar gave a lecture on food
in London, in the course OF which he
stated that the eating of onions Is con-
ducive to darkness of spirit" lie also
averred that the caste system in India is
largely regulated by diet. Thus those of
the highest caste only eat vegetarian
meals in order to keep their souls pure
Members of another caste are allowed to
eat meat so that they may become fitted
to be warriors: while the lowest caste OF
all eat stale, fiat foods which suit their
unspiritual natures.
Two noted German professors gave 1t
as their opinion not long ago that If pro-
pie would eat plenty of chalk they would
have not only more energy and happiness
but considerably increased brain power
A doctor I'm Philadelphia recently stated
that no one who eats a pound of maca-
roni daily will ever become a drunkard,
but he also stipulated that the Woud-be
tetotaler should live entirely on yege-
tartan diet. ana never touch meat in any
circumstances.
In direct contradiction to the "vegeta-
r5anism for soulfulness" theory is that of
a Mrs. Parker of New York This lady
believes that there is nothing like fine
chops and glasses of beer to inspire poets
and writer's, and she opened a restaurant
for the express purpose of providing those
who would WOO the muse with the proper
kind of diet She has no patience with
people who would become soulful on
prunes and lents and her "inn for Bohe-
mians," as her establishment is called
has certainly been well patronized by
budding Tennysons and future Merediths
The belief is gaining ground in many
quarters that IL you wish to stave off old
age and to have the feeling of perennial
youth and gaiety, no matter what your
actual years may be. you cannot do bet
ter than eat plenty of sugar. One of the
pioneers of this theory is Professor
Metchnikon, who has made exhaustive
experiments to prove his statements.
There are some who even assert that
not only does the frequent eating of sugar
keep one from growing old, but that if a
man or woman will begin the sugar treat
ment. even after senility has set in. the
effect viii be so great as to amount to
a complete change in his or her charac-
ter.

WHOLESALE MARKET
is QUIET UNDER HEAT
Business Opened Brisk, But
Fell Off Toward the
Close

Business on Morris avenue opened with
some briskness yesterday morning. but
the afternoon was quiet The afternoon
slump was due largely to the excessive
heat and the fact that not a few of the
stores close ON Thursday afternoons.
There was but little change in quota
tions yesterday. Meats are decidedly up
ward i'm tone and the changed quotation
on lard reads l1ise. Business In this line
is quite brisk and the fact that prices
are inclined to advance seemingly has
no deleterious effect
Business in the grain market has been
characterized by brlslSness all the week
but yesterday afternoon even this line

RESULTS SMALL IN
NEW YORK MART
Stock Movement Irregular.
Petroleum Very Weak.
Bonds Steady

New York, July 1.-THE net result of
todays trading in stocks. so far as
changes in the. level of prices were con-
cerned. was small. 1t was apparent from
the outset that the market would not
hold TO the pace set yesterday, when
quotations rose sharply in all quarters.
First figures were lower. recovery
soon was effected, but the movement
throughout the day was irregular, and
the close found many of the important
stocks showing small losses.
IL was inferred from the markets ac-
ton that yesterdays advance was chief
ly the result of short covering, which
resulted in weakening of the technical
concessions but there was falling off
In the demand, and buyers were unwill-
Ing to follow the market upward. Fluc-
tuations apparently bore little relation
10 developments of the day, which had
hut a slight bearing on stock market
values. Unexpected complications in the
negotiations between eastern railroads
and their employees, arising from the de-
termination of the railway managers to
present demands of their own to the ar
bitrators, may have exercised some sem
tmental influence More important was
the reaction in London and the decline
in American stocks there. This was fol-
lowed by London selling here principally
of Canadian Pacific, Steel and Union
Pacific. Berlin sold Canadian Pacific
here direct.
Petroleum shares were exceptionally
weak. California Petroleum sold down
points to 23s4, and the preferred dropped
points to 81. Mexican Petroleum., at
5759. showed loss of 4i4. One explain
alton given of the weakness of these
shares was that the closing out of loans
by local bank had neeessitated selling
of petroleum stocks, which had beene put
up as collateral. With the approach of
the crop moving season, with its heavy
demand for money, it was pointed out,
banks will be compelled to draw tighter
lines in regard to extending credit or
stock exchange collateral
Bonds were steady Total sales par
value sl,sS700O. United States bonds were
unchanged on call.
