Under the influence of the advance in
our market yesterday afternoon, together
with the continued showers in the At
lsnti states, Liverpool was sharply higher
than Que this morning. AS under the
operations of the Lever bill American
merchants are unable to buy or sell cot
tor in Europe, advantage could not be
taken of this sudden advance abroad to
sell against the accumulated orders
which were received over night. AS this
cotton had to be sold in New York our

13-YEAR-OLD BOY
 IN ENGLISH ARMY

London, July 20-There is a quiet, modest boy in a London suberb, the only support of his widowed mother, who has his baptism of fire at an age when most boys are still at school James Charles Bartaby was only 13 years old when he succeeded, after many attempts, in joining the Seventh East Surreys. Three months later he was in the front line of trenches, fighting side by side with men most of whom had double and even treble his years. He was in the firing line for nine strenuous, perilous months; and then he was wounded by shrapnel in
 the leg. In the hospital the army doc tor discovered his real age, and on re- covery he was discharged. But on his
 return to London he found difficulty
 in getting work. So he attempted to
 join the fighting forces again, and
 managed to get accepted in a battalion of his old regiment. But after his sec
 ond course of army training, and while
 he was actually again en route for
 France, he was, to use his own words, "found out," and sent home for the second time,

REPORTS OF
 MARKETS COTTON-GRAIN-LIVESTOCK.
New York Cotton,

New York. July 2O.-Wall street selling was again feture at the opening of the cotton market today and part of the initial decline of 1@5 points was due to this influence. The pressure was based on belief that crop damage news recently had been much exaggerated and that in most parts of the belt the plant is making excellent progress. Part of the sell ing was absorbed by spot houses and this caused a rally after the opening with October up from 12.S7@1293c, December 13.O3@13.0Sc and January 13.O8@1314c. The tropical storm ap- peared to be off the coast of North Carolina, but considerable distance at sea, and there were further showers in the eastern belt, which, while favor able, were offset by spread of boil weevil and apprehension regarding the unfavorable possibility likely to follow any period of hot, dry weather in the sections recently flooded.
 At midday October declined to 12.91c under selling pressure, based principally upon private reports of rains at Taylor, Texas, in the central part of the state, which, with the good rains reported earlier in Oklahoma, have apparently given the western belt just the moisture which the weekly government report said was needed there. Further complaints about flood conditions in the eastern belt were ignored.
 A rally in the early afternoon tc 12.94c for October, 13.11c for Decem- Der and 13.15c for January was due to a better class of buying and further support from some of the spot houses There was also less aggressive selling pending further details as to eastern belt crop conditions, which were still bad, according to many reports, but not generally credited by the trade.
 Cotton closed very steady. The range:

Grain and Provisions.

Chicago, July 2O.-Assertions that the spring crop would be generally af- fected by black rust led to substantial rises today in the price of wheat. Tn- qualified reports were received that the pest in North Dakota had spread to the stem. Unfavorable crop con- ditions in Europe, especially France E tended also to lift values. The open
 \ ing, which ranged from a shade off to S 3-8@1-2c up, with September at SLIP @1.12 5-8 and December at Sl.15@ 1.15 1-2, was followed by continued additional gains. Scattered showers and cooler tenn
 perature had only a temporary bear ing effect on the corn market. De- clines encountered big orders to buy.
 Opening 5-8c lower to shade advance prices rallied all around to yesterday $ finish or above.
 Oats were governed by the action of corn. Offerings appeared to be readi- ly absorbed.
 Absence of selling pressure allowed
 provisions to rise with grain. Demand however, was not active.
 Estimates that 20 to 40 per cent damage had already been done by rust and excessive heat in the best produc- ing district of South Dakota resulted
 in decided jump in quotations. Prices closed strong, POP 1-7 to 3c net
 higher, with September at $1.15@1.15
 and December at SLY.
 The advance in wheat had some bullish influence on corn. Clothing
 prices were nervous at the same as \ yesterdays finish to 1-2c higher. The leading features ranged as fol-

HAIR CUTS TO COST MORE.
Hastings. Neb.. July 2O.-The W

Hastings, Neb., July 2O.-The wear ing of poetic locks, the kind that fall over the ears and crul up at the ends, is likely to find much favor with the men of this section as a result of the action of the barbers ill putting into effect today a new scale of higher prices. By unanimous agreement of the Nebraska Association of Barbers the price of hair cuts has been raised from 25 to 35 cents, with the cost of slaves, facial massage, singeing and other tonsorial operation increased in proportion. The barbers declare that the higher prices are neccssitated by the increased cost of supplies. Some of the disgruntled patrons assert they will go back to the old bowl idea of scissors clipping before they will sub init to the "exto1tion."

New Orleans Cotton.

New Orleans, July 20.-Poor cables resulted in decline of 2@5 points in the price of cotton around the open ing of the market today. Fresh buy ing met the downward movement and half an hour after the opening the trading months were back at yester- days closing level. Wet weather in the eastern belt stimulated the de- mand.
 Reports of an increased demand for spots in this market, coming from widely scattered points in the interior, were a steadying influence. In the trading up to noon prices were sent 3@4 points over yesterdays last quo tations. <
 The market barely moved in the af- ternoon.
 Cotton closed steady at a net ad- vance of points. The range:
