SURGICAL DRESSINGS NOTES

Work on the quota is progressing
nicely. We lack gauze for about
fifteen of the five yard rolls, and if
this comes as planned, we will ship
about August 3rd.
However there will be plenty of
odds and ends to finish up after the
quota is completed. If the weather
is cool, the Shop will continue open
until everything is cleaned up ready
for the next quota. If it is scorch-
ing hot weather, we will close when
the quota has gone. Watch the Red
Cross flag. While it hangs, the Shop
is open.
Out -of- town ladies have stood by
Loyalty during the present rush, des-
pite the heat. On Wednesday after
noon Mattawan was present, twenty
strong, regardless of the roasting
weather. True patriotism is not de-
tered by hot weather.

Ind u strial
Cotton

Reports of more serious crop de-
terioration and the strength of the
near position seemed responsible for
more active covering~in the cotton mar
ket yesterday and a sharp advance in
prices. July was relatively firm during
the entire day, selling up to 2s.75c, or
60 points net higher. and the best price
touched since that delivery broke to
23.05c toward the end of last May.
There was also talk of large short
interest in October, which sold up to
25.45c, or As points net higher, and
closed at 25.3Oc. The general list
closed barely steady at net advance
of % to So points.
The market was irregular early. The
opening was 35 points higher on July,
but generally 2 to s points lower, and
new crop months sold TO IL points
under last nights closing figures right
after the call. The frmness of July
checked this selling movement, how
ever, and the market soon turned firm
er on reports that deterioration in
Texas was becoming more rapid and
that the drCuth area was spreading.
The buying became more general after
the publication Of the bullish weekly
weather report, and active new crop
positions sold 40 to 4S points net high
er during the middle of the afternoon
Realizing caused closing reaetions of
some II to Is points. and New Orleans
was also a seller here in the late trad
ing.
The weekly report of the Weather
Bureau indicated that the absence of
rain over the belt, with high temper
atures in Texas and low temperatures
in Central and Eastern sections, had
made conditions unfavorable for rapid
crop progress during the week. Some
thought the details of the report read
rather more favorably than indicated
ey this portion of the summary, and it
was pointed out that yesterdays report
was the first weekly statement to read
bullishly since early in the season. The
Western belt forecast held cut better
prospects for showers, but failed to
offset the bullish impression created
cy the news otherwise. Banking, manu-
featuring and producing interests we're
reported to be comforting in Washing
ton with reference to ways and means
for financing and distributing the com
ing crop. Some Southern interests ad-
vocate government buying corpora
ton, while manufacturers urge the es-
tablishment of warehouses near the
consuming points of the North South
ern spot markets as officially reported
were all unchanged except Baltimore,
which was so points higher. Exports
for the day were 5.105 bales, making
1892 ,242 50 far this season against
o.511,77 last year.

Defeat Miss Stirling and
Bobby Jones in Match
for Red Cross

Despite the stormy weather which
prevented a large attendance at the
Red Cross match at the Montclalr COLI
Club, between Miss Elaine Rosenthal
and Perry AGair and Miss Alexia Ster-
ling and Bobby Jones yesterday, the
match was played.
1t ceased to rain shortly after the
middle of the day and while 1T still
remained cloudy and threatening there
was no rain during the match, although
all hands carried umbrellas, and many
of the spectators were also provided
with storm coats.
Jones Starts Well
Jones and Adair Mayed the first
nine holes in the morning regardless
Of the rain, and as Jones went out IN
35, two strokes under par, he was
eager for the afternoon match.
The young ladies spent an hour or
more in practicing driving, midiron
shots and putting prior to the start
of the big match, which did not leave
the first tee till after o'clock. They
all had good long drives and the first
hole was halved in par.
The best ball of the winning pair
equalled the par of the course, while
the losing pair were three strokes over,
which is exceptionally fine golf, al
though at times individually they were
all off the course, playing out of the
rough or out of bunker, but as teams
they played we'll together, as it was
not often that they we're both in
trouble on the same hole.

COrn.--The corn market was feyerish
throughout the day, and after quick
fluctuations both ways the close showed
net losses of Ssc to 1Ac. At one time
prices showed good gains over the final
of Tuesday, but on the whole the
undertone was easier. This seemed to
be due to larger offers from the coun-
try, especially in the Southwest, where
farmers were said to have been in
fuenced by recent rains, which have
very materially improved the crop out
look. Furthermore, receipts continue
to run In excess of expectations, and
the character of the corn now arriving
at Chicago continues to improve. Yes
terday's receipts at that point were 439
cars, of which III were contract. and il
was said that some of the elevator in
terests were turning out larger amounts
OF contract corn, presumably to be ap-
lied on July or August delivery. This
seemed to take the snap out of the bull

Oats.-A firmer undertone prevailed
in the market for oats, and at the close
of the day values were 1ac to 1c net

TO some 1urther complaints regarding
