1 WEEKLY REVIEW OF THE COTTON, MARKET
Rain Damage Strong Influence in Lowering the Price

New Orleans. July 23.-The damage caused by excessive moisture in the east ern portion of the cotton belt was the strongest influence at work in the cot ton market last week and it sustained values in the face of most favorable crop accounts from the western belt, together with reports of bolls opening fast in the southern counties of Texas. For a time 1t appeared as if the receipt of numerous bales of new cotton at Texas market ing points would be a factor of import ance, but the rains continued in Ala bama and Mississippi and reports of in- jury to the crop increased in consequence.
 The highest prices were reached Nlon- day when the trading months were 13 to 15 points over the previous weeks close From this there was sag on the favor- able returns from the west until prices were 10 to F points under the preceding weeks final figures. The low levels were reached Thursday, after which the mar ket made a recovery.
 The close was unchanged to points up.
 The export movement will be watched this week. Last week shipments to for eign ports amounted to 12597S bales, against "A, 404 for the corresponding week , last year. Bullish gossip was that end of the month clearances would be large Large shipments of late stocks at ports are shrinking and the local net stock is now about 25,000 bales smaller than 1t was a year ago. Because of this spots are being put into a strong position which many traders expect will have an import ant bearing on the movement of the new crop.
 Tuesday will end the July condition pe- riod and during the remainder of the week much speculation will be indulged in regarding the probable percentage fig ures from the government. Continued wet weather in the eastern belt would stimulate buying movement and clear weather would be rather strongly against values.

ASHEWLLE PROPER
 WAS NOT DAMAGED
Factories Are Being Re. paired and Railroads
 Are Operating

Asheville. July 2S.-(Special)-The city aged by the terrible floods of Sunday July Is.
 The wholesale and manufacturing dis tricts lying along the French Broad river and two or three miles along the Swann- anoa river were considerably dmased hy the flood. The water has been eight or 10 feet higher than any high water pre- viously known.
 The city of Asheville is located on a 800 feet above the French Broad and Swannanoa rivers, and the business houses of the city are located two miles away from the river and railroad sta :. tion. connected, of course, 5y street car lines.
 Asheville's unequalled water system has not been affected in the slightest degree, millions of gallons of water have been used in the wholesale districts and at the station in washing and cleaning the streets and lower floors or buildings that were inundated and perfect sanitation is in evidence everywhere. order has al- ready been brought out of flcod chaos.
 Trains are now coming unto Asheviile over the Southern railway, which has shown marvellous resourcefulness in bringing forces for repairing tracks dam aged on their various lines.
 There were only about 50 to 50 families along the river front made destitute by the storm and they have been provi led for in great abundance by the outpouring of money, furniture and clothing from the people of the city. In fact, many of them are in better condition now than they were before the flood. Optimism prevails everywhere and enormous inn provements in many lines are already un- der way. The Asheville cotton mills, employing about 300 hands, expects to begin operations Monday. The Hars Rees tannery is already employing large forces to get their plant in shape and owing to the peculiar nature of their enterprise, will take a longer time to get in com plete operation than any ot-ter industry.

YOUNG NURSES SEE
 MAJOR OPERATION
Several Captains Mustered In at Mobilization
 Camp

Montgomery, July S-(SpeciaL) )-Twelve young women, training to be Red Cross nurses, witnessed an operation for ap- pendicitics performed upon soldier at the emergency hospital of the mobilza- ton camp, St. Margaret's hospital, Sat urday afternoon and the novices came through the ordeal without tremor.
 The sick man was taken to the hos pital from camp and the surgeon dscid ed at once to operate, though there was TO pain or fever affecting the patient at the time. It is well that they did so, as the condition of the patient showed that the operation did not come a moment too soon. As it is the soldier was said to be resting easily tonight with chances for | recovery all in his favor.
 | Sunday the Red Cross class will visit and inspect the new field hospital, which | will be open for sisters between the hours of 2:30 and g D. m. The students of nursing will be shown the inner opera tions of a modern field hospital so that 1 if they are called into service much of the work before them will not be alto gether strange to their view. Lieut.. Col.
  infantry brigade is slated for Fl Paso, | Tex, but he does not give any informa- | tion in the letter received Saturday by Lieut.. Col William P. Screws as to when the movement will begin. The regular officer who was here as junior mastering officer is now with the Tenth Pennsyl- vania infantry, camped about three miles from Fl Paso and he predicts that the Alabama troops will move into the same camp after the Pennsylvania men have moved.
 Five captains selected for recruiting service under recent orders from the war department were mustered into the ser vice Saturday afternoon and will be as- signed to different parts of the state by Adjutant General Hubbard to enlist re- cruits for the National Guard and for all the branches of the regular army.

THE UNBORN"

Yesterday at the Majestic thea tre before crowded houses, The Unborn," a photoplay based on the theme of birth control" was shown with the permission of Com missioner Arlie Barber.
 'The Unborn" deals rather can- didly with a subject that a few years ago was not discussed pub licly, and owing to the present delicacy of the subject the man agement of the Majestic theatre was forbidden to allow children under IF years of age to see this picture by Commissioner Barber, who reviewed the photoplay some time ago.
 The plot of "The Unborn" con- cerns a young woman, who is very innocent and who is betrayed by q young man. This young man leaves the city when apprised of his vic- tim's condition and goes to an- other town where he marries not for love but for social prominence and wealth. The lesson pointed out in The Unborn" is that the young man should have married the in- nocent country girl who was quite able to give him family, rather than the society butterfly, who did not believe in the Rooseveltian theory of large families-or, for that matter, any at all.
 'The Unborn" will be at the Ma jestic the remainder of the week.
