New York Cotton.

New York, July 21.-Speculative in- terest was again light in the cotton market early today and because of good rains in the western bslt where needed first prices we're unchanged to 3 points lower. Further rains in the Eastern states gave rise 10 numerous complaints of damage but inspired few buying orders and October, after the opening. sold off to 1294c. while January improved point rising to 13.14c. Liverpool was moderate buyer. while Wall street and local in- terests again led the selling on the favorable weather news from the western belt. Later the market de- veloped additional heaviness under pressure from room traders on the crop news and towards the cad of the first hour October had declined to 12.90c and January 13.10c, December 13.06c and January 13.10c. represent ing net loss of 5@1O points.
 At midday tie market was fairly steady. with October around 12.92c and trade quiet, about the only fea- ture being spot house buying which absorbed the scattered local offerings and the moderate selling on southern account. Private crop advices laid stress on the rains in Texas which have apparently been of much bene- fit.
 Temperatures wire also lower in the Southwest, the average maximum in Oklahoma during the past "A hours being 94.2 degrees against 1O3 report ed yesterday. This added to the b ar ish sentiment concerning southwest crop prospects but did not lead to much fresh selling here. in absence of which the early afternoon market was steady around 1293c for October, or 2 points net lower.

 Oats dealers took their cue from the action of other cereals. Trading, however, was mostly in small lots.

THE PUBLIC FORUM
PRICE OF ICE.-I


you of an error published in The Day
Book. You state sardonically land
justly so) that at time when ice is
mostly needed and when poor people
are hardly able to buy any ice at all,
the price was raised not only one
third, but more than twice the
amount they charged hitherto.
The big dealers are advertising
that they did not raise their prices.
I want to say that this is brazen
lie. Their prices fiuctuate from min
ute to minute. Whenever they
squeeze more money out Of the small
dealers they do so to the extreme.
My father is an ice dealer and my
heart breaks to hear poor people Bit
terly complain that they cannot af-
ford to spend $3.50 per week for ice.
Cannot the city authorities intercede
and prevent the magnates filling
their Golfers with peoples money!

IFlE FLAG ANU GOEBs-l READ IN
The Public Forum of Aug. 2 an arti-
Gle, "The Flag and the Schools" and
l must say that some parts of it are
very disgusting, to say the least.
l wonder how anybody who has
read The Day Book regularly can
support Jacob Loeb, after he has dis
missed efficient teachers so unjustly
without a hearing because they are
members of the Teachers Fedora
ton, an organization well worth sup
porting, this being in violation of the
civil service rules.
Then, again, the writer of this ar
ticle states that the president of the
school board and other members of
the board who are with him in his
action sOuld receive announcement
and assistance from all patriotic cit
liens. If that is the writer's idea of
patriotism 1 don't want to be pa
triOtic, if it is necessary to support
Mr.. Loeb in his actions.
We have all kinds of fanatics in
this country; there is the religious
fanatic and also the flag fanatic. If
there were fewer flag fanatics there
would be less clamor for war and
preparedness parades. The flag is
just merely a symbol of the govern
ment. 1t does not make a govern
ment good or bad. Russia has a flag,
but still has a despotic government.
It is the people behind the flag that
count, not so much the flag itself.
What can we say the flag stands for
in Europe, with the allies and the
central powers fighting so desper-
ately?
We also do not enjoy the greatest
freedom under that starry banner
Ito use the writer's words), for if we
did there would be nothing for us to
criticize. It is because we do not en-
joy the greatest freedom that there
is so much to criticize.
It is very nice, I admit, for the

CONSUMERS ICE CO..

CONSUMERS ICE CO.-Why is it
that after soliciting the peoples
trade, having them buy ice books and
paying for same in advance, so they
will receive more interest on our mo-
ney, that we don't get the service?
Most of the people in our neighbor-
hood bought Consumers Co. ice
books, and most of them have small
children. Several times we have not
received ice from Friday until Mon
day night about o'clock, and this
last week have not received it since
Friday and it is now Tuesday.
We have made complaints to the
general Office and the branch office
also. One of the neighbors called
into the general Office and one of,
the clerks said that they would re-
fund the money on his book. It is
very strange that he should say this
when they are spending hundreds of
dollars paying solicitors and adver-
Using in the street cars, etc., for our
trade.
Why can not they hire more men
and put out more wagons if there is
