Benefits From Books

From the Atlantic Monthly.
 The benefit of literature can hardly
 be overestimated. Books enlarge a mans horizon. They raise a mirage of water brooks and date palms to travel CTS in the desert. They are "the sick mans health, the prisoners release" " Shut within a narrow routine of dull necessity, sad at heart in a world where wrong triumphs. where beauty has no assurance of respect, fhere hu-
 manity tolls terribly merely for It's daily bread or the satisfaction of travail appetites, the earthly pilgrim need dc
 no more than pick up a book, and lol has no assurance of respect. Where hu-
 is free from sorrow and care, free from the burden of his body, from envy,
 jealousy, contempt, dissatisfaction
 from vain regrets, from wishes that can never wear the livery of hope, from narrowness of soul and hardness ot heart. He may mingle in the society of the good and great; he may listen to the wise man and the prophet he may see all the conditions of human happiness and misery: he may watch the human spirit in It's strife with cir cumstances, nobly conquer or base'y succumb; he may go down through the "gate of hundred sorrows" or accom- rany Dante and Beatrice through the spheres of paradise.

PRICES DECLINE IN COTTON MARKET Improved Weather Condi- tiOn and Spot Cotton
 Cause Slump.

New Orleans. June 21.-The price of cot ton fell 16 to IT points today, closing at about the lowest. Improvement in weather conditions over the belt, better crop accounts, poor cables and easier spot markets were tho eaief reasons for the slump. Much liquidation by buyers of the last two weeks was brought about and offerings of short cotton were liberal.
 The market opened at a decline in sym- pathy with poor Liverpool reports. The weather map, showing dry and warm weather over the cotton region, increa sed the disposition to sell and stimulated liqu- ioation on the part of longs who had &C., cumulated holdings on belief in too much rain and consequent crop damage which would lead to bullish government July condition figures. The consensus of private reports was that the crop was colng well under prevailing conditions and that it was fast being put in a sat- isfactory state of cultivation.
 In the afternoon the decline was wid- ened following the reduction of local spot quotations by 12 points and the report that buyers were finding 1t much easier to trade on the grades they required.

FRED'S COMMENT
 ON THE AMATEURS

And the Rasco Jewellers continue te trounee their opponents. Saturday Eddie Roberts and the Avondale bunch werc defeated Eddie was slaughtered some thing fierce. the Jewellers having no pity. Their nearest opponent, East Lake, gained a notch on the Jewellers by capturing . double bill from wahouma.
 Walter Hickey, recently of the Jefrer- son club, made his debut with Rasco Jew eiers against Avondale Saturday, and was greeted with a fuisade of binges. Hickey will find it mighty hard to travel at, his former rate in the City league.
 
 Moore, formerly of Davison college in South Carolina, Is hurling for the rall- way team in the B. R. L. .& F. Co. league. Moore is speed merchant and has tho youngsters. swinging wildly at his benders. Saturday he held the seniors of tho Y. N. c. A. to three measly blnges.
 The best games played Saturday any where in the city were contested In the Central league. In all other circuits the scores were high on ao<c mt of the heavy slugglng which the amateurs carried on. The pitchers must be weakening.
 
 Ed simon of the Rasco Jewellers lead in their assault against Avondale. Simon Is putting up a hard fight for the lead ing swatter of the city and bids fair of gaining the reputation. although he will meet some stiff opposition.
 The fourth annual invitation playground meet will be pulled off on Thursday. Juno 24 at Avondale park. All playgrounds in the city are open to enter three ath- letes. Only three events can be entered by one man and cup will be awarded the winning team. Ribbons will be given to each entry winning n place in any event Already over 90 boys have entered in the four classes which are divided into the s5-pound 100-pound. 12o-pound and un- limited class. Practically every play ground in the city will be represented.

ACTIVE SELLING IN
 COTTON MARKET Bearish Report on Crop Conditions Stimulate
 Market.

New York, June 21.-Favorable weather
 and crop advices caused more active sell
 ing in the cotton market here today and
 prices closed barely steady at net de-
 cline of 17 to IS points,
 Liverpool was lower than due and the
 local market opened steady at a decline
 of "A to points, with active months sell
 ing about to 12 points under Saturdays
 closing figures during the early trading.
 July was relatively easy under scattering
 liqudation but at a difference of about
 40 to 42 points under October. there was
 good demand for tne near month
 against sales of the later deliveries This
 was supposed to be partly in the way of
 transferring Liverpool stradde accounts
 to the new crop and of shifting hedges against cotton in the local stock from
 July to October and the improvement in
 the demand for July was sufficient to steady the market. Rallies weSe limited however, and selling became more gen. eral during the afternoon owing to bear ish report on crop conditions in Texas and north Louisiana from a prominent travelling expert. Active months sold IT to IS points net lower, but better de- mand was encountered around 975c for October and the decline was checked at that level although closing prices were practically the lowest of the day. The large spot business at Liverpool tended to offset the influence of the decline in fu- lures, while the switching from July 10 October led some of the local traders to predict that tenders on July contracts here would be comparatively small. The | weather map showed generally clear i conditions in the south over Sunday, and the rather high temperatures reported in 1 some sections of the southwest and
 eastern belt appeared to attract eompara- | lively little attention. Exports for the l day were 11.443 bales, making s,o570Sl so far this season. Port receipts S,3o2 bales United States port stocks S96,755.

WHEAT DECLINES IN CHICAGO MARKET Prices Below One Dollar a Bushel for 1915
 Crop N

Chicago, June 21.-Wheat prices broke to below sl bushel today the first time for the 1915 crop. Slowness of export de- mand together with a northward spread of the harvest did good deal to force the decline. Prices closed steady at BIS @4isc under Saturday nights level. Other leading staples. too showed losses-corn, 1sd1ac to 2s.@27sc; oats, 1Ss@1isc. and provisions. 121tc to 20c.
 Corn suffered in value owing to the break in wheat and as result of weather that promised to favor the bears.
 Oats ranged lower with other cereals Selling by packers caused sag in pro- visions.
