S. R. Stewart & Co.'S Letter

The market today opened 30 to 35 points lower. being affected by the un- favorable news over night, and the shaken confidence by yesterdays de- cline; free liquidation early carried prices further down until October touched 33.7S or close to so points be- low the close Tuesday Liverpool sales were 5000 bales 15 points lower than the previous prices and futures closed there 31 points down. The decline in exchange led to the belief that Liverpool would have been higher. This affected prices on our side.
 After ranging within limit if 60 to so points for the new crop months and 90 points in July the market closed steady at net decline of 70 to 76 points from Tuesdays close. Spots are unchanged; middling 34.25; sales 753 bales.
 While the technical position of the market warrants a still further de- cline, any increase in the spot de- mand, and further unfavorable cror reports would throw support into the market with the result of an inevitable advance.-S R. Stewart and Co.

W. E. Campbell & Co.'S Cotton Letter

New Orleans, July 16.-Liverpool came about 10 points lower than due with fairly good sales with spots mark : ed S9 points down. The weather over
 night was more favorable, showing only a few scattered showers in the eastern belt, consequently our market opened s4S0 for Oct or 30 points net lower from last nights close.
 We stated yesterday that we did not like the market and last night found
 us reactionary and we feel that the market is in no shape to buy as there seems to be great many things hang ing over the market of such character to make a bull think before acting however. if the weather should turn bad and the market should become tech nically strong from an oyersold condi- tion, we are bound to see quick run-ups and therefore we stick to our previous acvice to friends to pick the market UT l on extreme breaks with view of ac- cepting profits when presented. We dc | not like the foreign exchange news
 which we understood today from priv
 ate cables that Liverpool was cancel l ling all limit buying orders on this l side on account of the unsettled con
 dition of their exchange which is quite serious on the face of it all.-W. 1 Campbell and Co.

Orvis Bros. & Co.'S Letter

New York, July l6-tSpecialD-Bette weather over the belt with forecast for continued favorable conditions and fair ly favorable weekly weather report. to- gether with further decline in the sterling rates, caused sharp liquidation and some short selling today. Declines in foreign exchange should be offset by adding to the cost of selling cotton in foreign countries and not by lowering prices at home. Holders of contracts, how ever. did not take that view today Con- fidence in the bull side has been some what shaken. We look upon the reaction as natural digestion of long contracts and when liquidation has run its course expect the upward swing to be re- sLmed.-Orvis Bros. & Co.

 While the iawyes were arguing eXcited- ly, Mir Ford interjected:
 If t will do any good I'll admit that I am an ignorant idealist.'
 "If YOU admit it that will foreclose the question" said MT. Stevenson.
 II will admit it just to close it. Not just to close it; if you will admit if as fact, we will stop the inquiry, pursued MT. stevenson eagerly.
 II don't know whether it is fact or not: that is for the jury to decide.' said Mir. Ford.
 Later in the examination. when the question was repeated MT. Ford shook his head slowly and declared that he did not consider himself ignorant dealist.
 This was not the only volunteered tes- timony with which the manufacturer surprised his counsel. The question of preparedness was under question. and Mir stevenson was pursuing MT. Ford S characterization of preparedness advo- cates as murderers.

 "I was a murderer just as well as any body else"
 you were a murderer" gasped Mir. Stevenson.
 T was a party to it; one of the help ers," said the witness calmly. Do you mean that in 1917 you were thes anne kind of a murderer that advo- cates of preparedness were in 1915 and | 1916?" 'No; we were in the war in 1917; in 1916 we were not"

 He thought that a "bally-hoo' was a | black guard.
 WHAT WAS U. s. LAND? 1 Questioned further, the witness. evil dently with Arnold Bennett in mind, haz- arded the opinion that Benedict Arnold

PITCHING FOR STRIKE-OUTS
Manager Pat Moran's TWirIers Are
Urged to Fan Out Batters on
Opposing Teams.

Pat Moran urges his pitchers to work
for as many "strike-Outs" as possible.
Long ago Manager Pat was converted
from the "let-' em-hit-it-and- trust-to-
your-suppOrt" crowd of managers. The
handbook Philadelphia field was what
converted him, for on that arena the
strike-Out pitcher is a king. Even
feeble hitter is apt to hoist a fly that
will carry over the nearby walls, but
when a man is struck out he is dead
for the rest of the inning. Alexander,
who did his finest work for Moran, al
ways plays for strike-outs to the limit,
and Eppa Rixey has always been "a
firm believer in the efficacy of the fan
out ball. With the Reds Pat has sew
eral pitchers whose leaping curves are
always apt to make the batters miss
three in a row, and he intends to give
these fingers much leeway Ruether
and Eller are strong on strike-outs and
Senior Luque likewise sings a cruel
fan-out curve.

Farmer May Not Have Known Much

Bear on Economy

A Woodworking farmer in Ohio had
sent his son to a good school of music
so that he might receive the best in
structiOn from the beginning. 1t was
necessary to buy a violin for him, but
ne was such a little chap that his
teacher thought that a sO-called 'haf
violin" would do. The father, whose
resources had been badly taxed, was
loath to part with the money for the
instrument, but finally did so.
The lad made rapid progress, and
became so proficient that a half-viOlin
was no longer good enough for him.
Again he went to the music store with
his father, to whom the salesman
showed the entire stock Of viOlins. The
parent was apparently diSSatified
with all of them, and his gaze wan
dered around the shop seeking for
something better. Finally he saw

"We'll take that big violin there"

spread over his cOuntenance. The

Henry, in stealing a base, was
prone to go into the bag with
the wrong foot, and thus slide
three feet further than neces-

reply.

Joined Hickey, <it is that the
shortest, distance between two
points may be accomplished by
a straight line. You ignore that
rule in sliding to bases and
travel an excess distance of
three feet on every slide, so that
when you have stolen 80 bases
you really will have stolen 81,

the extra base. Just apply a
