COTTON MARKET OPINIONS

mAhhEI OE4N1OhS,
n. L. Carpenter Il Co.: Looks as if the zenith
has been reached in bull crop developments, and
unless some very favorable feature arises in the
cotton prices high enough.
Bond, McEnany & Co: There is still hope
that new receipts increase the south will
sell more freely and ease the price situation.
However, until this ma turally develops, we look
for firm market.
Hayden, stone & Co.: This season began with
about $4,000 bales more lint cotton in the
hands of spinners and in public storage places
combined than last season.
JOHN F. CLARK & CO. COTTON LETTER
|. NEW ORLEANS, Aug. IA decided change
has occurred overnight in the weather situa-
ton The protective high pressure the
Atlantics has disappeared, raising the probable
ity of a material change in weather conditions.
Only few showers occurred far in the west,
but early records show 100 degrees night
records which may indicate the breaking of the
heat spell in the west. However, .unfavOrable
high night miuimums are hsown over the east
ern states. General indications for a
change to clOudy showery weather in the near
future.
Liverpool was about 10 lower than due on
futures, but quotes spots 80 higher sales 1000
bales. General news was quieter, showing a
temporary suspense, but suggestions are not
lacking encouraging the expectation of further
good news soon from abroad.
Our market opened somewhat easier and re-
NAMED in a waiting attitude around last night S
closing figures for some time The pull, how
ever seems still upward.
The after-effect of yesterdays bullish week
ly report, the absence of rain and high temper
atures over the Atlantics Il stiff advance in
Texas spot quota lions and bullish drygoOds re-
ports, provided a liberal demand for contracts
which was barely offset by ralizing on the
general idea that 80 cenIs is debatable level
at the outset of a season and better rain pros
poets for the belt.
| There has been much shifting of hedges late
ly between Liverpool and our markets and
the working basis has improved much that
spot activity is likely. Yesterdays drygoods
report says: Cotton goods demand was large
today" indicating the effect of government
crop reports on consumers views. The uncer-
tainty Of price basis as Washington reports:
Cotton yarn prices have been fixed by the
government
Trading settled around 20. for October, to
n Whiting market for developments.

CLEVELAND, July 9.-With the ex- ception of the PIP pace event, each event on today's grand circuit card at North Randall was captured in straight heats with honors divided be- tween favorites and outsiders. The time trotted and paced, with the eX- ception of fast final quarters by Hal Boy, was most ordinary
 The 2:12 pace caused the biggest up- set of the afternoon. After Margaret Margrave had taken the first heat she was forced tS succumb in the second to Grace Elder, which paid $417 for a g pari mutuel ticket. Margaret Mar grave captured the deciding heat.
 The first division of the Fasig three year-old trot went to Mamie Locke, which was practically overlooked in the betting.
 Selah Baird, the favorite. won the 2:2O trot rather easily from Hanks Stout.

AMERICAS ANSWER
Given Recently to Select Audience
at the Hague


at the Hague
The Hague, Dec. 12-Under the
auspices of the American committee
| of Public Information, the first ex-
hibition of the American war film en-
titled Americas Answer" was given
here recently to select audience
composed of chief officers of the gen.
eral staff of the Dutch army and navy
invited by American military and
! naval attaches.
The film consisted of eight reels
showing the American fleet in Euro
pean waters, transport and hospital
services and other aspects of Amer
ica's achievements in the war.
A feature of interest proved to be
the series of war pictures of Amer
lean aviation. The whole display
was greeted with warm enthusiasm
while views showing President Will
son and General Pershing drew spon-
taneous cheers.
The musical accompaniment was
periodically American and included
famous songs of the Civil and Span
ish-American wars as well as south
ern melodies, many of which were
heard. for the first time. The film
will be shown throughout Holland.

The Memorial Question.

Editor Reflector: All agree 1t is
fitting to build a memorial for pur-
pose they are in sympathy with, but
all are not in unison as to what 1t
should be.
1t has been suggested that it take
the form of building for war relics,
q park, a drive, a monument or a
hospital. What matters it which we
choose, so long as it is sufficiently
distinctive to call attention to the
purpose in view?
If any one of these ideas were ac-
cepted and properly consumated-it
would undoubtedly be appropriate.
SOme of these things are probably
more appropriate than others and |
think local conditions should have a
great bearing in deciding which.
As to the first three suggestions

the relics obtainable. the money oI
locations available would scarcely
permit OF their being carried out on
scale worthy of the cause to be
commemorated.
As TO the choice between mouu-
ment or a hospital. ii seems TO me
TO be entirely a matter of sentiment
and here lies the stumbling block.
In choosing we must take care We
do not exhibit bigorty In claiming
there is but ONE true and fitting
means of expression majority
of the people may fail to accept our
ideas of PROCLAMATION.
Thus we are forced to compare the
merits of a monument or a hospital,
as a fitting memorial, from. an I'M
biased standpoint
Before doing so, however, let us
keep clearly In mind the fact that
this memorial is intended for our
honored soldiers, sailors and nurses,
both the dead and the living.
In favor of monument we have
saving in money for its construct
ion. conformity to a custom origin
ated in the dark ages and the advan-
tage of being able to place it in most
any little nook or corner where traf-
fic Is heaviest.
In favor of a hospital, we can have
just as beautiful a mark for the eye
and we can depend on it to be held
in reverence as much, II not more
than any monument In 1t can be
placed a memorial tablet with the
names of those of our country who
have given their lives for our liberty,
and we can also endow rooms and
guarantee care, free of charge for
the soldiers who return to our midst,
and meet with adversely in the form
Of sickness or accident, and beside
this, with a hospital, we physicians
can carry out those most important
lessons learned in this war, and can
offer our returned soldiers the same
care they have become accustomed
to, without which 1t Is impossible.
In conclusion, let us consider this
question from all angles, strip 1t of
all color and decide 1t with the same
the men we are honor
ing would.
An inanimate shaft Of stone may
exalt the height Of expression OF
your sympathies. Mine are aroused
at the thought Of "a life giving and
a life saving hospital.

Chapman is Willing.

Chapman Advertiser: The question
of erecting a memorial for the sol
diers of Dickinson county Is BENG
favorably received in all parts OF the
county. More than 500 young men
have entered service from vils
county. A number have given then
lives and it is eminently fitting that
proper and lasting recognition OF
such service be made. In all the
war activities Chapman has been In
the front ranks in furnishing men
and money and will no doubt do Its
duty in contributing to any suitable
project dedicated to the memory OF
our splendid boys.
