HAS A NEW CLOCK

Palmer P. Woods, secretary to
Mayor Joseph J. Fern, has a new PEN
dulum clock in his office. It's not one
Of those modern clocks that rattle
along as If it we're saying, Get there.
Get there! Get there!" but one of
those that move with measured beat
and slow.
In the waiting room many men sit
each day for hours hoping for an Cd.
portunity to see the mayor, and it
must be admitted that the clock
which Palmer P. Woods has put up in
his office is appropriate to the atmos.
phere. To the waiting, impatient mul.
titude who would see the mayor on
many subjects the pendulum clock
booms out its maxim of:
Take your time. Take your time.
Take your time"

An AVowed Ally Above
The year 1917. with its great bat

SAFETY FIRST

While this country Is at war, boys,
Be careful what you say.
For you can't tell who you speak to
In your travels every day.
There are all kinds Of confidential
people
You have seen them every day
So beware of the supposed friends in
H 0nolulu,
AS they may only use you for theiI
prey.
They may get you full of liquor
And show you good time,
But it may be the kaiser's money they
are using
To get information at this time.
So II you happen to be stationed
Where information you can get
Pretend that you are speechless
And that you won't regret
II you are working in an office
Where movement of ships can LS
seen
Just let on you were sightless
And avoid the Hun submarine.

SHARP BREAK ON
 COTTON MARKET
Early Advance Is Offset by Reports of Dry Weather
 in the South

New York, June 29.-An opening ad- vance was followed by sharp break in the cotton market here today, with Octo- Der selling off from 26.65c to 26.16c, or ap- proimaxtely 1ac from the initial level. Rallies followed, but were not fully main- tained, with October closing at 26.39c and with the general list closing steady. net points higher to points lower.
 The market opened steady at an ad- vance of Il to 20 points on bulish pri- vate condition figures, continued dry weather in the southwest and Liverpool buying orders The latter were sup posed to reflect the covering of straddles coincidentally with the reopening of the Liverpool futures market for restricted business. The demand was soon supplied around 2695c for July and 26.75c for De- cember, however, and houses With Liver pool connections were among the more prominent sellers which followed. Trade buying was very title in evidence, while this scattered selling around the ring probably reflected a feeling that the low condition figures from the government on Monday had been pretty well dis counted. Around 2665c for July and 26.30c for December, the selling became less active and there were rallies of some 30 or 40 points on covering. From a net loss of about 20 to 30 points, active months sold some 10 or 15 points net higher during the middle of the after noon, then eased off under renewed real izing. Two private condition reports were issued, one showing 71.7 against TAO last month, while the other made 1t 69.4, against PA last month.

Hubbard Bros. Letter

New York, June 29.-(Special)-I an ticipation of an unfavorable bureau re- port as a result of the many private es- inmates coming to hand the market opened some 20 points higher to decline swiftly nearly 50 points on reports of showers in southwest Texas. The gov ernment report showed that about half an inch had fallen, but this was not considered as of much benefit in break ing the drouth, so the market slowly recovered the decline. Transa ctions are of the smallest character, as the traders are not disposed to take decided posi- ton, with the government report and a holiday soon to occur. Judging from the present appearance, the cause of prices seem to hang on the question oi rain in the southwest The leading houses appear to have withdrawn from the market awaiting events.
