a hop at the Engineer Barracks, while
the early part OF tho day was mark

There was the usual quota OF
dinners at the Chevy Chase Club
Wednesday night though a large
percentage OF the club members
dined that evening at the Cafe st.
Marks. Those who did dine at the
club went into town later for sup
per and to dance at the Cafe st.
Marks. II was altogether n lovely
party and quite the liveliest I have
seen in Washington since the town
went dry. There was something
about the beauty of the place and
the pep in the music that seemed
to make every one have a particu-
laTly good time. Also every one
seemed to know every one else and
there was much visiting among the
tables. 1t was a sort OF an ANAL

MANY FOREIGN ORDERS
Report of Heavy Storm in
Texas and Sweeping Inland
Starts Nervousness.

TIA cotton market steadied yesterday
after displaying an unsettled tone in
ths early hours. Buying was especially
heavy In the last hour. when prices were
near the days high. Many large foreign
orders were received. There was con-
siderable uneasiness in the early part Of
the session due to reports of a heavy
storm sweeping inland. Late In the af-
ternoon, however, advices from Texas
announced that heavy damage had been
done and that the storm was extending
well inland. Farmers are refusing to
market their cotton at present prices, de-
earing them to be below production
cost The strength in the securities
market, short covering and trade buy
Ing were potent influences In the ad-
vance. Rumors that German credits had
been established was responsible for
some late buying and covering.
Japanese interests bought moderately,
MOSTLY, II is believed, on the report OF
the Southern Products Company, which
placed the condition of cotton at SIS,
against 60.7 month ago. The report
was not construed as meaning any re-
duction In the total crop estimates be-
low those already given, and unless there
Is damage by frost no change may be
expected. In view of the fact that the
crop Is so late this year it is thought
that 1t is more than susceptible to
frost Crop reports tell of deterioration
through the boil weevil in Texas, while
the movement of new cotton is such
that II is feared that deliveries will not
be sufficient to fill the September con-
tracts AdVces from the Southeast In
regard to the crop also are unsatisfac-
tory
For the first time in several weeks the
shorts showed yesterday signs of nerv-
ousness With the shorts becoming
nervous general conditions seem to favor
the long side A strong holding move
msrt has been started in the South, and
the foreign financial situation Is ex-
pected to be remedied with the early
passage Of the Edge bill That should
stimulate foreign trade. The decline In
foreign exchange passed unnoticed.
