Yesterdays Cotton Market.


New York, July 13.-The hot, dry
weather in Texas was the leading fac
tor again today. Realizing of profits
caused some reaction after the early
advance, but the weather news as a
whole was of bullish character. To-
morrow we get the census bureau
statement of consumption during June
and also the statement of stocks Of
raw cotton held by spinners. There
may POSSIBLY be some decrease in the
figures on consumption, but even tha,

PURE MILK CARS
COST co. 100000

Philadelphia, July 13.-That milk
produced along its lines may get to
Philadelphia and other big cities sweet
and pure, the Pennsylvania railroad
has expended 100000 for thirty-six
specially designed cars. They are of
all-steel construction and of baggage
car length and appearance. Each car
will carry 10000 quarts of milk and
cream in cans.
The Pennsylvania railroad is now
delivering into Philadelphia, Balti-
more and Jersey City about 265,OO
quarts of milk day. That is an in
crease of $4,000 quarts over what this
particular traffic was year ago Vir-
tually the whole of this milk and
all that comes any distance is han
died in the new cars.
They afford maximum protection tc
the milk. Brine tanks at each enc
of the car, filled through trap doors
in the roof, contain mixture of salt
and ice. When the car doors are
closed and sealed the interior tenn.
