have come from the younger officers In
the lower grades, the men to whom the
country looks for the leadership of it9

officers, receiving from $1,700 to So, 900
a year, most Of them Annapolis gradu-

NEW YORK, Aug. 21.-Relatively
easy cables failed to inspire any fresh
selling of consequence in the cotton
market at the opening today and first
prices were 5 to Is points higher. There
was some u~nfavorable comment on the
rain reported in the central belt, but
the precipitation in the southwest was
considered a favorable feature, while

export conditions. Business was quiet
in consequence and fluctuations were
irregular after the call with October
selling off to 30.18c and January TO
30.2Sc, or 5 to 7 points net lower.
Detailed weather reports showing
heavy rains al some Texas points and
numerous complaints of crop damage
by insects stimulated buyers early IN
the afternoon with October selling at
31.17c and January at 31.38c, or "a to
103 points net higher.
Spot cotton steady; middling, 31.50.
The steadier toni reported in sterling

aged renewed buying later. october

or about 60 to S. points net higher.
Much of the buying on this advance was
attributed to covering and fluctuations
we're somewhat irregular, but the mar
ket was firm round midday.
