Ayery's Cotton Letter

Rii mingham, october l--The glnning re- port on cotton ginned up to September 9 showed 2,9o0ooo. and as 1 anticipated, was discounted, and was without any mar ke. influence.
 The market was strong on the opening owing to the Liverpool market being bet tes than due, and prices were from b to IS points higher than the previous close
 The condition report of September % was CO.'S vs. 69.5 last month New York Jaruary's stood at P. 42c when the report camo out and closed at IF. 7sc. New Or leans stood at 12. BOG at the same time and closed at 12. 66c.
 The market has ruled steady all day, and the advance has been moderate. and there was nothing whatever of the spec tacular in the movement to higher levels.
 I regard the market as being safe purchase at present prices for the follow ing reasons:
 The governments formula for arriving at the indicated crop Is as follows:
 Normal lint yield or loo per cent equals 27S pounds
 Acres planted, si,5s5.0O0
 Net weight of bales. AIS pounds and the equation is 27S by cos by s1, ,5s5. 900, divid- ed by AIS equals 10.ss1,2 bales To this of course linters will have to be added.
 This is one reason. The second is cot ton seed meal is the basis for most of the II south Cotton seed ts selling now at from s32 to $S5 per ton: 1t is easy to figure out from this what this element In the fertil- izer will cost.
 Not pound of phosphoric acid can be had from phosphate rock without the use of sulphuric acid. Prices for the latter product have advanced to sl0 per ton re- gently. There was little or no potash used last year. and with this fertilizing element selling at g per unit at the present tin,c. At these prices it Is not likely that very much will be used the coming year.
 The third reason: regard 100000 bales as being very moderate estimate for the of American cotton.
 Summed up the situation stands thus:
 We have q carry-over of about S.O0000 bales added to an indicated crop of say Il ,0oo.0oo bales. giving us total supply of 100000 bales Consumption. l5.000. 600, and high priced fertilizer in the spring.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter

New York. October 4.-(Speciai) ) A wild advance followed the pubiica- ton of the government report of the condition of the crop as sos for the Both of September This advance finally reached a new high level at which point it was noticed that some of those who have thought they had foreseen the advance appeared as sellers. taking profits. Under their liquidation the market closed a shade below the best. some ST points higher than yesterday and within 5 or points of the highest of the year. Of course there are many more buyers now than when the mar ket was cents pound lower. Such a condition just naturally calls for caution and look around. At the same time such advice Is usually disregard ed under the belief that the spinners have missed their market and have yet to buy from this crop and the surplus left over from last season.

Only Woman in
u. S. Who Has
Ostrich Farm

In the November Woman's' Home
Companion appears an interesting
sketch of Mrs. William Tracy who
is said to be the only woman ostrich
farmer in the United States. Follow
ing Is an extract from the article:
Mrs. Tracy who keeps about one
hundred Of the long legged birds on
an alfalfa ranch at Buttonwillow. Cal
ifornia, not only taking care Of then
herself but also supervising the prep
aration of their plumes for the mar
ket. 1t was in 1907 that Mrs. Tracy
reading that only four per cent of
the ostrich feathers used in this coun.
try were of domestic production, de.
cided to lay the foundations of her
ranch by importing a pair Of well
grown chicks from Arizona. They
cost her five hundred dollars, though
a similar pair could now be bought
from one hundred dollars to two hun.
dred dollars, and as they weighed
three hundred pounds apiece the ex.
press bill added fifty.five dollars to
the initial expense. But she found
little difficulty in rearing them in the
favorable climate of Kern County, the
young birds requiring about the same
5are as young chickens; and as the
flock increased, the venture became
decidedly profitable. Mrs. Tracy
says that an acre of alfalfa will keep
four birds at an expense of ten do
lars a year each, while the return for
feathers alone is from twenty-five do
lars to fifty dollars per bird. Adult
birds are about eight feet high, tho
the tallest can stretch themselves to
ten feet when they wish to look par
ticularly imposing, and they weigh
from three hundred to four hundred
and fifty pounds. Though the mae
bird is rather vicious while standing
guard over his mate and the nest dur.
ing the forty days of incubation, he
becomes quite docile as soon as tn
chicks apear, and is an attentive hug
band and devoted father. The eggs
weigh over three pounds and make
good and plenteous omelets for those
inclined to this expensive diet. The
chicks weigh two and three quarter
pounds when Matched, and grow about
a foot a month, reaching their full
height in from six to eight months
Mrs. Tracy says that she has found
her work both profitable and pleas.

AUTUMN VEIL is BOUND
TO BE POPULAR

Have you grasped the essential
characteristics of the veil of the au-
tumn of 1915?
1t is difficult to believe that this
veil can be anything but popular for
it has all the elusiveness and charm
and mystery of the veil of the east
at least, it has many of those char
acteristics, quite enough of them to
make it appealing. 1t is not the
crisp, useful bit of mesh that is pull
ed snugly If jauntly and smartly ov-
er the face for the obvious and real
purpose Of keeping the hair from
blowing-the sort Of veil that has
Neen worn for the last few Years
when any veil at all has been worn.
Really the women of America have
been keeping the liking for wells
alive for French fashions have taken
little cognizance of wells for several
seasons.
No. the new veil is different. It
has all the beauty of folded lines of
sheer fabric that veil should have.
II is hindrance rather than a help
in the wind-and this bit of unreas-
onableness on its part will doubtless
nelp 1t to win favor.
The new veil is, moreover, attach
ed to the hat with which 1t is worn
when it is really shown in its per-
lection. 1t hangs in haring folds
about the face and hair and touches
even shrouds. the shoulders. 1t is
made of lace, or of interesting and
rather heavy meshes of net and It is
made in color to match the hat or in
black.
Perhaps 1t is the fact that the new
veil is so often fastened to the hat
that marks its great difference from
the wells Of the past. For 1t at once
becomes a really decorative part Of
the hat. 1t is, in fact part OF the
trimming of the hat.
Needless to say, It Is the smaller
hats with which these faring wells
are worn-which only emphasizes
tneir flare.
They are gathered in to the size of
the crown and fastened somewhat
near the crown under band OF trim
ming flowers, fur, twist of velvet
or a beaded band. Another similar
band catches the veil in at the base
Of the crown and then It is left to
find its way in graceful folds over
the brim-if there is one-wdence IT
hangs to the shoulders.
Sometimes there is another little
band of trimming at the bottom of
the veil across just enough of 1t to
fasten 1t snugNy about the throat and
hold 1t in close against the face.
This renders the veil bit practical,
but It does not take from its charm
perhaps II even adds to It,
