MARKET IS ACTIVE
 BUT IRREGULAR
Rally in Early Trading Later Oifset-Close 3 Up to 1 Down Absence of Southern Sell ing Encouraged Rally.

New York, Sept. 26.-The cotton market was comparatively active to- day and fluctuations were irregular. with January contracts ruling be. tween 16.11c and 16.26c and closing at 16.18c. The general list closed steady at an advance of 3 points to a decline of l point, as compared with yester- days final figures.
 The opening was irregular, first prices being 3 points lower to 8 points higher, with near months relatively easy. The first October notices were estimated at only 1000 bales, but they seemed to cause some scattering liqui- dation. These offerings were ab- sorbed by spot interests, as the De- cember premium widened out to about 2S points and the active months gener- ally worked about 6 to 8 points net higher shortly after the opening.
 Relatively steady early cables and the absence of any Southern selling or importance encouraged the rally which carried December contracts up to 16.1Sc and March to 16.40c. Clos ing prices at Liverpool were easier, however, while the advances here seemed to bring out local realizing and the market declined during the afternoon.
 Southern selling was not much in evidence, but there was a little pres sure from that source, while there was comparatively little demand ill evidence on the setback, which carried December off to 1604c and March to 16.26c. The close was 6 or 2 points up from the lowest on covering.
 Cotton closed steady.

NEWS OF THE HAMPSTEAD
 COUNTY UNION FAIR
(By Lee Giles, Manager.)

The opening of the splendid Hemp stead County Union Fair is less than one month away-Oct. 24, 1916.
 A recapitulation of it's status at this time is most gratifying; in fact, better conditions and better outlook could hardly be asked.
 Thanks to the kindly press of the district, which has printed everything sent them concerning the fair, the opening date and the main features of the exposition have received superb publicity, and this, coupled with the editorial endorsement of the news papers, has awakened the people as never before to the importance of the fair, and the desirability of attending each day.
 The agricultural exhibit is going to be good, despite the long period of dry weather in August and Septem- Der. True, this will cut out some of the green stuff and truck usually seen at the fair, but there will be great quantities of dry material, canned vegetables, fruits, etc., and the girls canning clubs and boys corn clubs this year, will add greatly to the show.
 The livestock exhibit is going to be great. In fact the application for reservations in this division has got ten so great that the manager is af- ready planning additional quarters to care for the overflow. Don't worry. We will take excellent care of all that is brought or sent in.
 The farm machinery exhibit prom ises to be extra good. One Little Rock firm is planning to send four carloads, and their show will delight the progressive farmer. Others are applying for space, and this feature will be very attractive.
 And the chickensl There will be chickens" everywhere-in the poultry show and out, and each variety will be prize winners. Hillory Jennings, the noted Little Rock chicken crank, will probably judge those in the show, while everybody can judge those to be found outside.
 Hogs, herds and herds of hogs All kinds, except the razorback, and the Tamworth, will take his place. There will be a great swine exhibit. Thanks to the "book-farmers," hogs cholera no longer is menace and the finest hog country under the sun is coming into its own.
