Army rules and practices have had to be considerably revised as result of the
 experiments of the expedition into Mex ico Army officers found that instead
 of adopting the newer methods of war fare they were compelled to revert to Indian fighting. The expedition thus pre-
 sents the anomalous spectacle of the
 most modern implements of war. such as the wireless and siege guns. working in conjunction with individual cooking and
 washing and pack-mule transportation. The men have been thrown so often on their own resources for cooking that probably every one could qualify as an assistant chef. A pack-mule kitchen Is the most important improvement adopt
 ed by the army in Mexico in the cook ing line The mules can follow the cav airy anywhere and get there before dark. assuring the men of hot meal. Usually.

It was found neces- sary to adopt better system of hob bling horses. Smaller horses were found desirable Wherever possible the hunter type, suitable for park and cross country riding was abandoned in favor of the smaller native ponies of the west and southwest which were able to shift for themselves. Bacon, coffee and hard tack, with little sugar and salt known among army men as the iron ration stood every test of the campaign. Auto mobile trucks demonstrated their effici- ency. Standing beside the pack mules, they seemed to symbolize the connecting link between Indian fighting and modern warfare

Women and Dishraps

When a woman declares that she feels like a dishrag" she is dragging herself down to the lowest level in still life. We doubt not from the per sonal appearance of that handy article of domestic utility that if any life ex- isted at all in said rag it could not possibly fall lower or feel meaner. However, woman should never offer herself in comparison with so de- graded an object, for the simple req son that mankind spurns the dishrag most vehemently, and as woman exists solely for man she should not seek to lower herself in his esteem. When a rag takes up it's duties in the dish pan 1t has reached the tag end of abandoned hope. the climax perhaps of a merry life. A black dishrag might have been lovely 1ady's hose in it's palmy days. enveloping a voluptuously well-modeled limb, adorned by a silken garter and surrounded by costly lin- gerfe. But it is not of it's past that I speak. It is of it's present social standing. it's vulgar environments and it's utter elf-abandonment Iris true that you may feel fatigued to a limp and lopry degree, but never can you feel so utterly wretched and beyond re- demption as a dishrag.

PRICES SLUMP ON
 COTTON MARKET
Small Volume of Offerings Depresses Market and
 Close Was at a Loss

New York, June 13.-The cotton mar ket worked lower again today under a comparatively small volume of offerings with October contracts selling down to 12.S3c or about r points under the best prices reached on the bulge of last Satur- day That delivery closed at 12S3c and the general list closed steady at a net loss of to 10 points for the day. Liver pool was somewhat disappointing and market here opened at a decline of to points under scattering liquidation. Houses with Liverpool connections were moderate buyers early suggesting a fur ther reduction in the straddle short in- terest, but the demand was not suffi- cient to prevent prices sagging off, al though the selling was by no means ag- gressive Part of the offerings seemed to come from the prominent sellers of yesterday and while there was further talk of southern liquidation in this con- nection there seemed more disposition to attribute this particular selling to liqui- dation of hedges for continental clients. Slight rallies occurred from time to time during the day on covering but the sup port was indifferent and the market reached the lowest point in the late trad ing when July sold at 12.68c, December at 1299c, and January at 13.06c, or about 10 to Il points net lower. The census fig ures showing domestic mill consumption of 64S,000 bales, including linters for the months of May against 540,00O for the sa me month last year seemed to be about as expected and evidently created no fresh interests. On the basis of May con- sumption local statisticians are figuring upon total consumption in this country for the season of about 7,40000O bales, including linters and foreign grown cot ton Detailed weather reports showed quiet general rains over the south, but temperaure were considered favorable and today's sellers were talking a fa- vorable weekly report from the weather bureau tomorrow. Private cables reported a quiet market in Liverpool

SELLING PRESSURE SENDS PRICES DOWN Afternoon Prices Were at Their Lowest at Net Loss
 of 9 to 10 Points

New Orleans. June 13.-Cotton felt selling pressure throughout the session of the market here today. Some of the pressure was set down to liquidation and the rest to short selling, based on favorable crop accounts the appear ance of the second bale of the new crop and the claim that many blooms were burning, at a much earlier date than usual, according to report received from Texas and Mississippi After the first call momentary steadiness was shown and October advanced Il point above yesterdays close. Selling in. creased and the mark ct gfa dually sagged. In the early afternoon prices were at their lowest, a net loss of 9 to 10 points. The close was [ to g down.
 Bullish traders claimed too much rain was falling in some portions of the belt, especially in the Mississippi val ley, and the census bureau report or consumption by American mills for May was generally conceded to be pullish, but at no time did the market have any marked buying power. The rise of points in spot quotations excited fla vorab1e comment.

MATERIAL ADVANCE
 IN PRICE OF WHEAT
Large Purchases for Euro pean Account COunteract
 Bearish Influence

Chicago, June 13.-Active foreign buy ing here brought about a material ad- vance today in the price of wheat. The outcome was a firm close, 1IsG1Ac to 1asc net higher, with July at s1 1.O4ss and, Sep tember at $1 .06a1 .O61s. Corn finished 12c to 7sc up; oats varying from 1sc to Ac de- cline to 4GSsc gain, and provisions at a rise of ' to 15c.
 Wheat closed at the top level of the session, after an all-day showing of strength. An early weakness was due to lower quotations at Liverpool and to fla vorable weather for the domestic crop Such bearish factors, however soon lost their power when the fact became evil dent that large purchases were for Eu- ropean account.
 The most persistent buying was of the July delivery. It was said there was also considerable closing of spreads be- tween Chicago and Winnipeg, with the buying being done here. In addition to the dealings in futures, sales of 1000, 900 bushels, mostly from Manitoba, for inn mediate shipment to Europe, were said to have been closed at the seaboard. r. SOTT TSSpOHueu tO lHo SlTcIlS LII of wheat and to an improvement in shipping demand. Throughout the greater part of the day, the market was held in check by bearish crop and weather reports. Oats displayed an inclination to lag. Total domestic stocks were posted as more than twice as large as year ago.
 Provisions rose with hogs and as a result of higher quotations of lard at Liverpool. Prices for pork were cratic at times, owing to the limited amount of trading in that staple.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter

the weight of the cotton purchased here during the past month which has been hedged abroad Here further selling by what was supposed to be a western long account supplied the local traders. who. during the day, became dismayed at the absence of new buyers finally liquidating during the afternoon. The weather map was regarded as favorable for the grow ing crop, creating an impression that the semi monthly crop report would show a decided improvement. Census reports of consumption during the last month were quite as bullish as expected. A rather lower Liverpool market is expected to- morrow.

REACT|ONARy TREND ON STOCK EXCHANGE.
Munitions Shares Vary, But Marine Preferred and
 Metals Advance

New York, June 13.-The stock mar:ict .evinced d more sober mood today. with diminished dealings and a reactionary trend. Operations were of a two-sided character throughout, rails again afford ing the basis of the forenoons activity on the constructive side while specialties, particularly Mexicans, motors and ship ping issues, represented the offsetting features.
 Dealings in rails restricted largely to secondary issues, such as Western Mary land common and preferred, Denver & Rio Grande preferred. Wheeling and Lake Fries, Lake Erie and Westerns Rock Island and Long Island Gains of ? to 4 points prevailed in this division, with heaviness in Reading, Norfolk and Western, the Pacifics, New York Gen. trai and leading grangers and trunk lines. Standard issues suffered from the restraints imposed by the differences between the railroad brotherhoods and the railway managers.
 Munitions were extremely variable as group, and marine preferred was under pressure just before the close, when 1t rose briskly with some of the metals and American Beet Sugar, the latter sup plying the only new record of the day on it's further advance of 25s to S0s.
 United States Steel retained its posi- tion as the best stock of the session, but made an extreme decline of slightly more than 8 point, with scant recovery Minor steels and affiliated industrials followed the irregular course of war stocks.
 Publication of the details of the long pending Russian loan of S50,000,000 was in teresting chiefly for its proof of the in- creasing supremacy of this country as world center of finance. More gold was received from Canada. with nominal export of the metal to Spain.
 Bonds were irregular and featureless. Total sales, par value, $4.170,000
 United States bonds were unchanged on call.

Avery's Letter

The consumption figures of the census bureau, which were very bullish, fell flat.
 The market was under the influence of heavy selling by Hentz of October, De- cember and January, which was said by some to be selling out of long cotton and by others to be selling out of long hedges by those who had bought their spot cotton. McFadden, Mitchell, Leh- man and Norden took most of the sell ing which aggregated 35,OO0 in the last two days. July liquidated also contin- ued today which added to the pressure. The weather couldn't be better and no doubt presages high condition figures from the usual private sources preceding the July report.
 No doubt some of the selling was be- cause of large stocks shown in inde- pendent warehouses and in consuming es- establishments. Everyone seems to over look the obvious fact that normally carry stock of around 1,250.o00 bales. In spite of the heavy selling of the last two days spot, prices showed an advance at sev- eral points, notably New Orleans ad- vancing 6 points to 12.69c.
 Locally 1t is understood some cotton was sold here at a surprising basis. No change of opinion. Expect to see higher prices very soon. c. F. AVERY.
