BULLS TAKE HEART
AND BUY HEAVILY
Cotton Advances = Clarke
Amendment Effective
September, 1914

New Orleans, September S.-Cotton ad-
vanced strongly today on the agreement
to make the Clarke amendment to the
tariff bill effective. September |, 1914 This
was regarded as such favorable con-
oession to the cotton trade and as be-
ing so strongly indicative of a more lib
eral attitude on the part of those who
are seeking TO regulate the cotton mar
kets of this country that the bulls took
heart and bought heavily in support of
their conviction that the present crop is
too small for the needs of the world
Rains were reported in Texas and Ok
lahoma and the forecast predicted unset
tied and showery weather for the cotton
country west of the Mississippi river; the
census bureau issued a report showing
that record breaking amount of cotton
was ginned up to the first of September
but all bearish features were cast aside
ana given no consideration at ALL The
market had many reactions, but the price
always came back and went higher than
ever. The close was firm, practically at
the top of the day, 49 to SO points over
Saturdays close
On the opening the tone was steady
ana prices were 2S to 20 points up. Ca
Dies were much better than due. The
news over Sunday regarding the Clarke
amendment caused heavy buying. both
from outsiders and from professional
traders. The ginners report, issued 1ust
before the opening, fell flat as a bear
lsh influence. The advance was eradu
ally widened, the market standing "a IN
IS up at noon and finally late in the
Cay actual sales were made at a nat
rise of 4s to "a points.

Chinese "knew the English"

An Engl1shman who was appointed to
an important post In China got married
soon after. Among the recipients of the
usual cardboard boxes containing n
piece OF wedding cake was a Chinese
merchant with whom the bridegroom
had an outstanding account for goods
supplied. After the honeymoon one OF
the first persons the newly welded
husband met was his Celestial creditor
says the Lond IL Daily Letter.
And how did you like the cake?" said
the Englishman, laughingly. after the
usual CONGRATULATIONS.
"Ah ha" returned the Chinaman, with
cunning leer me no such big fool to
eat him. sab. Me put cakes in fire. Burn
him up! He. hev'
"Oh. that's too bad" said the English
man. very much hurt. you might have

my wife and myself. Why didn't you?''
Me too cute, sah," said the Celestial
with the same cunning smile. "You owe

la! He! he! l know You Ingleesh.''
