SHEPARD & eLuCKs COTTON LETTER

NEW ORLEANS, La, July 29.-Bullish fea-
lures had little weight in the cotton market to-
day, the situa ton being dominated by the fear
that further declines would be seen in the Texas
spot centers as the result of the larger move
ment which is inevitable owing TO the hot and
dry wea Their in the west. Reports now coming
in indicate that cotton is opening far up in to
the central portions of the sta tie. October on
the opening was points up but other months
were down and the decline widened gradually
until the market stood "a to % points under the
lats prices of Saturday. In the afternoon the
technical strength of the market asserted itself
and these shorts who wanted their profits put
pricesc up on themselves. Late in the day OcN
tober was points Saturdays close and
other months were at about Saturdays closing
level.
The weather map was dry in the west while
sea tered showers shown in the east. The
forecast promised showery weather for the
northern portion of the western belt, but the
outlook was for continued dry weather for
Texas: % weather sta tions in Texas reported
ma ximum temperatures Sunday of from 100 to
los degrees.
Private bureau condition reports issued today
were bullish, of three reports out one put the
percentage at 20, another at us and the other
at 77.2. Opinion slowly is changing regarding
the pending figures from the government bur
thus far caused no improvement in the market
which hangs on the spot situation in Texas.

where 7 was and l didn't much care
was out of the power of the Germans
and that was enough.
l had walked perhaps hundred
YARDS, when I remembered the lace I
had thrown over the barrier, and dan.
gerous as reaIived the undertaking to
be, l determined to walk back and get
it. This necessitated my going back
onto Belgian soil again, but it seemed
a shame to leave the lace there, and
by exercising a little care l figured L
could get it easily enough.
When l came 10 the spot at which I
had made my way under the barbed
wire, ! put my ear to the ground and
listened for. the sentry. I heard him
coming and lay prone on the ground
till he had passed. The fact. that he
might observe the hole in the ground
or the ladder occurred to me as 1 lay
there, and t seemed like an age be-
fore he finally matched out of ear
shot. Then I went under the barbed
wire again, retrieved the lace and once
again made my way to Dutch territory.
Il does not take long to describe the
events just referred to, but the Incl
dents themselves consumed several
hours in ali. To dig the hole must
have taken me more than two hours
and l had TO stop frequently to hide
Many times. indeed, 1 thought heard
him coming and stopped my work and
then discovered that it was only my
Imagination. I certainly suffered enough
that night to last me a lifetime. With
a German guard on one side, death
from electrocution on the other, and
starvation staring me in the face, my
plight was anything but a comfortable
one
Il was the 18th of November, 1917,

Cotton

NEW YORK, July 29.-Moderate weakness
occurred in the cotton market early today as
result Of a rather bearish crop report by
Memphis authority, and selling for Liverpool
account. First prices, with the exception of
October, which two points higher, showed
TO &c points decline, August leading the
beak and selling at time under October
Trade was light after the first half hour, with
selling restrained somewhat by the favorable
war news, and October rallied from 2461 to
24.7O On a little covering while December was
heavy around 24.14 or 10 points net lower
Further scattered offerings in the forenoon
weakened the market 81 to 81 points under the
previous close October holding at 4.54 and
December 24.02 by midday. There were IN
creased offerings of crop cotton IN snlth-
west Texas, and Liverpool reported freer offers
from the SOUTH which was reflected IN the
nCrrowcst LiyerpoOl-New York differences IN
many months.
Fhe very high temperatures over the south
west yesterday and today led to moderate
upturn in the early afternoon that rallied prices
about Is points from the lowest OF the morn
ing. In the Oklahoma district reported tenn
peratures in excess of 100 at every station ooth
Saturday and Monday. Business, however cor
tinued narrow, awaiting the government report
