SLIGHT REACTION
 IN COTTON MARKET
Market Encouraged by Firmness of Stocks and
 Crop Reports

New York, July IA renewal of yes- terday's late buying movement caused a further advance during todays earlier trading in the cotton market. but prices later eased off under reafzing and closed barely steady. net points lower to 1 point higher, near months being relatively easy.
 Liverpool did not fully meet yester- days local advance, but the market here opened unchanged to points higher and the active months held to 12 joints above fast nights closing figures during the first half hour. This carried October contracts up to s.s4 or nearly 75 points above the low level of last Saturday. and 1t appeared that on this advance nervous shorts had pretty well covered transac- | tions. At any rate the demand tapered off and prices closed at about the lowest point of the day under realizing py recent buyers and some local selling for reac- ton after the sharp advance of the past two days. The early buying was en- | couraged by the continued firmness of the stock market and growing apprehen- sions of crop damage in southern Texas
  | complaints are already beginning to come in from that section and there is also a feeling in some circles that the reduction | In the use of fertilizer in the eastern belt l is likely to lead to deterlora ton reports within the next few weeks. Private cables reported a small market With a steady undertone in Liverpool and trading here was comparatively quiet after the early advance with sentiment rather better di- vided than it was earlier in the week.

Industrial and Equipment Divisions of Stock List
 in Demand

New York, July 17.-Stocks ended the eek almost as they began-with fur ther boom in the war specialties-many of which were carried to new high rec ords. with gains of 10 to almost 25 points for, that brief period. Crucible steel was again the most conspicuous feature, advancing to 51. with the pre- ferred at 1O4. Other issues in this cls SIS which touched quotations never before equalled included Bethlehem Steel at 1s1, Baldwin Locomotive at 74A, Ameri- can Can preferred at 1o5s and Gen eral Motors at 1S9h
 Numerous minor industrials such as Republic Steel common and preferred. Sloss-S Sheffield and Allis Chalmers com mon and preferred made striking gains on fairly large absorption. In fact, every issue in the so-called industrial and equipment divisions of the stock list was in demand, including some stocks long dormant.

SELLING PRESSURE
 CAUSES DECLINE Cotton Market Opened at Net Gain of Four to
 Five Points

New Orleans. July 17.-After a small rise around the opening today the price of cotton was held down by the realiz- ing of longs. The close was at net decline of to points. At one time enough selling pressure was on hand to put the trading months to 6 points under yesterdays last quotations but fresh buying met the soft spots and kept the buying steady
 Around the opening the market was at its best, net gain of to points being shown. This rise was made in the face of poor cables and a faYorab bie weather map. Buying orders appeared to have accumulated over night in brokers hands in considerable volume and early offerings were not sufficient to meet this demand. After the tradine of the session was fairly under way buyers of the early part of the weel, commenced to take their profits fin a rather large way and this selling was encountered during the remainder of the session.

of neglect of details. This embraces everything from cleanliness in the ineu- bator cellar to the proper maturing of chicks, and the culllng of the matured fowls.
 Yards and houses must be kept clean and sanitary. Incubators must be sprayed. 1overs and breeders must be kept fresh and sweet market eggs must be nice and fresh. In every department cleanli- ness is the keynote of success. Neglect og leanliness opens the way for diseases of various kinds. Diseases are not really the first cause of failure, but are only the result of neglect of cleanliness There cannot be too much care in keeping clean every article that has anything to do with raising poultry. This includes every thing from disinfeeting drinking fountain to selecting clean and wholesome feeds.
 Regular Attention Essential
 Want of regularity in carrying out the system of poultry raising is often the cause of failure. Regular hours should be had for giving the fowls or young chicks attention. Definite hours for feed ing, watering, gathering the eggs, clos Ing the houses for the night, cleaning, dis infecting and for all other work are ab- solutely necessary
 Failure with poultry is due often to in- ability to raise a sufficient percentage of chicks. This often is a combination Of other causes, It may be due to poor foun- dation stock. It may be caused by care less methods of incubation. want of prop CT attention, or the stock may be rugged and the eggs properly incubated. but lack of care in the details of feeding, etc.. may result in big losses among the chicks. In raising chicks regularity and great at tention to every detail are most impor- tant.

New Telephone in War

From the New York Times. The new variety of telephone receiver invented by Pierre Delange. Dutch en- sineer now in London, Is being tested out hy the British admiralty with a view to installing it on battleships, and is already being used in the field by the British war office, according to information brought here from London.
 Delanse's invention, which was de- seribed in cable message to the Times on June T. is said to do away completely with rattlins and buzzing sounds caused by strong vibration in telephone receivers of the type in general use. and the new receiver Is so sensitive that 1t transmits whispers. Due to this latter quality. 1t Is reported, Scotland Yard has decided to adopt the new receiver on a eomprehen- sive scale.
 The Delange receiver is minute in com. parison With present telephone receivers. and can be readily carried in the pocket. which 1nakes 1t of exceptional value for field operations. Instead of the diaphragm used in the ordinary reGeiyer Deange makes use of \ thin platinum wire in the air chamber of the instrument He has named the instrument the "thermo- phone," and It is expected to bring ths telephone into more general nse through out England, where adoption of the in- struinents now in use has been slower than in America, The instrument Is also expected to facilitate reducing wireless telephony to practicable basis for gen- eral use,

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'S Letter

New York. July T.-(Special.)- .)-After the sharp advance of the past few days a re- action was fin order today based on profit taking. The market. however, was stead- fer than expected because of warmer weather over the cotton belt and the fear that continued hot weather might bring many complaints over Sunday. In the last few minutes some selling for Euro pean account closed the market 8 points lower.
 The trade has been completely surprised at the action of the market this week and feel the advance was uncalied for, and will probably not hold. despite the im- proving tone to business unless the crop should become injured by the weather.
 Little or no forward business is being done by exporters or spinners as they ex- pect the early receipts will weigh heavily upon the market.

The Partridge Cochin is a descendant Of the Shanghai. which was the aristocrat of poultrydom in the early days of pure bred poultry culture in America. The Shanghais Were later known as Cochin Chinas and later still as Cochins. There were yellow, gray and red-yellow; the gray entered into the production of tho dark Brahma. and the reds. which had black in their plumage, were progeni- tors of the present Partridge cochins.
 Because the pumage of the hen TO- sembled that of the grouse, this variety was originally called the Partridge Grouse Cochin. In 1Sf some fine specimens were imported from England, and gave i'm petus to the breeding of this variety, which now reaches it's finest development

, to raise poultry extensively the question
 of marketing the products should be in- yestisated thoroughly. There always will
 be a market for poultry products of high quality. but as in many other lines, there Is often an overprodueton of inferior
 grades In certain localities. As the range of prices throughout the seasons are strong factors in marketing poultry In any
 given locality, these should be studied
 for series of years. in order that general average may be obtained While it Is true that there are failures
 in poultry raising. Just in any other lines. yet the percentage is no greater. if as great, where the man at the head of
 the enterprise is naturally adapted to tho business and has even limited experi- enee
 On the other hand there Are many ex-
 amples of rather startling successes. Too often these lead the unprepared to rush in, with improper equipment, little knowl- edge and less experience.
