COTTON MARKETS.
NEW YORK.

NEW YORK, June 1.-THE cotton
market opened steady at decline Of
ably better than due. on cables as q
result of continued covering and local
bull support of much the same sort
as that which developed toward the
end of last week.
weather conditions, however, were
considered generally favorable, while
the census report on supply and dis
tribution was about in line with ex-
pectations, and the market gradually
eased of some s or 8 points from
Saturdays finals under scattering
liquidation.
Futures opened steady; July. $40;
October,9.s0: December. 1915; January,
1920; March, 1914.
The market remained very quiet dur
ing the middle of the day, but there
was enough scattered covering to rally
prices to about Saturdays closing and
the undertone was steady. Detailed
weather reports showed heavy rains in
central sections Of the belt and may
have promoted some covering. although
they were not generally considered
harmful.

KEEP THE SHEEP DRY
Wet Eve Is Not Likely to Do Her
Best for Owner.
Greatest Damage Resulting From
Wetting Is Discomfort Following
-Water.Tlsht Shed win Prove
Quite Satisfactory.
(By r. HENDERSON,

A few days ago, while returning
from our home town. I was struck by
the sad and forsaken appearance Of
a flock of sheep subjected to a beat.
ing rain.
Their backs were bumped up, their
heads dropping and the general APP
pearance gave the impression that
they were the victims Of a careless
and thoughtless farmer.
II Is true that the fleece Of a sheep
Is quite long and dense and In an
ordinary rain 1t is quite improbable
that the fleece should become thor.
oughly saturated, but 1t is also true
that all rains are not ordinary" ones.
and We can never tell just when n
of these beating, driving rains will
come to cause misery to the ewes and
loss to the farmers pocketbook.
1t is at once apparent that the wet
eve is not one to do the best for her
owner. AS long as she Is soaked she
will not Craze, or II she does 1t will
be only enough to furnish the actual
needs Of the body.
