COTTON Markets
Marine Strike About Settled
and More Rains East, But
Market Is Draugy.
saturdny afternoon. IuIy

Saturday afternoon. July Is.
Most Of the news TO-DAY seemed 10
be Of bullish hue, yet there was from
some source a lot Of selling, enough
to cause a moderate dip in prices, The
affair acted as il il was fatgued and
that some new influence was needed
10 boost values. In New York finals
were unchanged to rs points to the
bad, while New Orleans left off l TO
points lower, tone called steady In
boA centers. Liverpool on Monday
should come Is points to the bad to
make proper response.
Gen of the features in the news was
that the marine workers and the ship
owners apparently had reached an
agreement which means the passing OF
the strike and a quick return Of a
large number Of ships TO activity. This
was somewhat of a surprise, yet 1t
had been guessed the day before,
which may have helped discount its
effect today, The large amount OF cot
ton %shipboard awaiting some
thing over zoo, 900 bales, encouraged
expectations of larger exports right
away and perhaps OF better demand at
the interior, although at the same time
1t is likely to be depressing on sterling
because of the probable increase in the
number Of cotton bills for sale.
The weather map showed that some
more rains fell in the districts that
have been receiving them for some
time, though the amounts were less.
There were also some rains further in
land In the central belt. The forecast
was about as they have been for sew
eral days. One feature in connection
with the weather is that some advices
from Texas are encouraging bearish
ideas for some OF the travellers are
talking of that state making as much
as 1000, 900 to 5000, 900 bales. because
they say that in the counties where
production is large, conditions have Inn
proved very rapidly, Another feature
is that some sections where the weeyi'
was counted on to 90 SC much dam
age are now saying that so far such
has not been the case. The trade Is
disclosed to give more attention tc
| these reports OF more optimistic char
acter for the time being.
October in New York opened at 81. soc
dipped to 34.75c and then worked W
to IS. 10c, only to react and Close
around 34.S5c. There was only a fail
amount Of trading and 1t was largely
professional.
Nothing of consequence came from
the spot department and business wa!
still very small.

the official publication for the ninth

Baraga county has reason to be more
than proud Of the success on the last
Liberty Loan drive. OF all the coun-

North Dakota, Montana, Minnesota
and South Dakota, there are but two
which averaged more on the percent

Baraga county had a percentage of
290 per cent Of allotment subscribed,

OLD CONVICTION SETTLERS.

Mr.. and Mrs. Octave Suesse, Cow
ington townships first settlers, have
sold their one hundred acre farm in
that district and moved to LAnse.
Mr.. and Mrs. Suesse located at Cow
ington shortly after the South Shore
railroad was run from Nestoria to Du-
luth, enduring the hard life of our
earliest settlers, with no modern i'm
provements to help them along, and
made home in the then wilderness
which is credit to any family. Here
they put in thirty Of their best years.
The farm they were compelled to sell,
as Mr.. Suesse is unable to take care
of the work connected with such large
acreage.
Mr.. and Mrs. Suesse will reside in
L'Anse until spring at least, when
they will decide whether to enjoy the
fruits of their labor here or move to
Canada.
