Clark,s Letter


Weather conditions continued unfavor-
able over Sunday Cloudy, rainy weather
prevailed with rather low temperatures
over the northeastern quarter where the
crop is latest. Considerable storm dam
aga occurred in parts of the Carolinas.
Indications are for partly cloudy to fair
in the northern portion of the belt. The
tropical storm is in the same position,
southeast of Florida, with tendency still
westward Plantation reports to cotton
factors here show decided change IN
the crop situation, saying deterioration
has been heavy.
The market is a struggle Of bullish
crop and other cotton facts against bear
ish politics Without this disturbing UNI
certainty over politics, the course of the
market would be positively upward on
the bullish change in the crop situation.
The average weight of bales for Au-
gust was given as 512.s7 pounds against
$3.50 last year.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter

New York, September II-Messrs'
Hubbard Bros & Co.'S daily letter: To-
day the local traders felt that after the
fluctuations of the last week around
present prices the spinners would buy
enough cotton to absorb the offerings
and on that idea were buyers early.
Then the depression in financial circles
brought about a weak period, AFTER
which the market slowly recovered on
a repetition Of the demand of the morn
ing. Although the threatened storms
disappeared over the weekend without
serious damage to the crop, when IS
nearing the last of the month without
serious disaster, it is expected that re-
norts Of deterioration will be found in
the weekly crop report. The difficulties
of exporting cotton as yet have not
been relieved.

lO-CENT CHECK
Sent COL. irons

Postmaster D. H. MacAdam yester-
day mailed q check for 10 cents to Col
James A. Irons, post commander at
Fort Shafter.
As an instance Of the painstaking
care exercised by the postal service
In handling mail. the postmaster to-
day told the following story about
the check:
The treasury department had a
communication to make to Col James
A. Irons, then attache at the American
embassy IN Toxic. Il put the commu.
nication into treasury penalty enye-
lope, which has no stamps, and mailed
It to him. The postoffice department
erred In accepting the stampless let
ter for transmission TO Toxic.
Col. Irons at about that time was
transferred to Fort Shafter to become
post commander. For the service of
forwarding the treasury letter to the
colonel the Toxic postoffice assessed
q double rate to Honolulu, affixing
10-cent postage due stamp to II.
Col. Irons protested against paying
the postage due, as he said he was
not responsible for the mistake made
In Washington. He paid, however.
Postmaster MacAdam referred the
case to Washington, and by special
authorization from the third assistant
postmaster general. is now sending the
colonel check for the disputed
amount.
