Cotton

There was a further recovery in the
cotton market yesterday. The buying
movement, which had developed after
the break to 1880 for May contracts
on Monday, was renewed. and that de-
livery sold up to 21.49. making an ad-
vance Of 60 points from Tuesdays clos
ing figures. Last prices showed re.
actions Of several points from the best
under realizing sales. but the tone of
the market was steady. with May clos
ing at 21.33, and with the general
list showing a net gain of Is to 25
points.
A more cheerful feeling was en-
couraged by reports from Liverpool
that there were distinct signs of an
Improvement in trade, and also by re-
ports of better labor situation in the
Lawrence mills. The frmness of Liver
pool over the holiday here accounted
in part for the opening advance of
to 3S points. Houses with English trade
connections were good buyers of March
July and October, while there was
some Continental buying Of May, as
we'll as an active demand from local
traders. many of whom had been
credited with selling on the recent de-
clines.
At net advance of about SO to 6S
points the more urgent demand seemed
to have been filled, and there were set
backs of 20 to 25 points under profit
taking by scattering longs. There was
little Southern selling. however, and
the market firmed up again during the
early afternoon on a renewal of the
carly demand, with active months sell
ing 60 TO 6S points above Tuesday s
closing figures. Later fluctuations were
irregular, with trading comparatiy ely
quiet.
Exports for the day were 1888 bales,
making 2,624,577 SO far this season,
against 2,550.327 last year.
The local market for spot cotton was
quiet and 80 points higher, at 2565c
for midlling, compared with 25.15c on
Tuesday and 31.25c the year before.
There were no sales of spot.

On January 2S Steel common
was selling at 92A. Since that
day the bad quarterly earnings
statement has been published, the
dividend has been reduced, the
startling decrease in untitled ton
mage has been reported, and the
Iron Age has said in effect that
there are no orders to speak of in
sight and that reductions in price
are coming. Yesterday Steel COM
mon sold at 81 Il, a loss Of one

ancient comment that when the
market will not go down on bad
news it ought to go up gorgeously
when good news appears.
1t is rather early to pass COM

George A. CASTOR, president of
CASTOR, Williams & Wign1ore, upon
his return from a three months
study of business con d t o S
throughout Europe, finds the prin-
cipal fact influencing the future of
world trade to be the enormous
factory expansion in England,
France and Italy, called into ex-
istence by the necessity for NUM-
tions production during the war.
This factory expansion may we'll
prove the beginning of new in
dustrial revolution. 1t should in
crease immensely the product stivity
of the worker. 1t should in a like
degree increase the supply and
cheaper the price of manufact-
ured commodities to the masses.
Nor is this industrial expansion
necessarily at the expense of agri-
cultural development. 1t should,
in fact, prove it's greatest aid. The
countries of Europe are likely to
beat their swords into plough
shares in very literal way. France
is planning to manufacture farm
tractors. The use Of these farm
implements increases the produc-
tivity of the workers to such an
extent that it not only releases
men for industrial work, but en-
ables the fewer men remaining
actually to increase the worlds
supply of foodstuffs, and conse-
quently to cheaper their price, with
the same profit to the farmer

LEXINGTON RACE MEETING TO
BE A GUNNER"

Col. Robert L. Baker, manager of
the Kentucky Jockey Clubs track at
Lexington, says in letter to the ed
itor of this paper that the Fall race
meeting will be hummer.
The meeting will open Saturday,
September Is, and Close Saturday,
September 20-seven days. 1t is to
be in keeping with Senator Johnson
N. Camden's idea. The Chairman of
the State Racing Commission likes
the race meetings short and snappy.
The distances of the races, how
ever, are to be generally longer, as is
manifested in the program book,
prepared by Judge William H. Shell
ley, the popular Racing Secretary,
and this is in response to the cali OF
Kentuckians, who have tired of a
superabundance of sprints.
The purse offerings at Lexington
for the autumn are to average $500
per race, the same as in the spring,
afternoon.
The two star events of the meeting
will be the Lexington Cup Handicap,
$1,000 added, for three-year-olds and
upward, one mile and a half, to be
run Wednesday, September II, and
the Breeders Futurity, value ap-
proximately $4,000 for two-year-
olds over the Futurity course, about
three-quarters of mile, to be run
Saturday, September 20.
Among the 81 eligibles to the Lex,
ington Cup Handicap are EXtermina-
tor, Manager Waite, Midway, Dodge,
Drastic, PIT, Jr., Wexford, CONTAIN
tine, Ell Rey and Escoba.
There are forty-five eligibles to the
Breeders Futurity, which is to be a
contest between the East and the
West. Captain Raj Par has announc-
ed that he will ship Blazes and Ralco
from Saratoga to run for this prize
and James w. McClelland is sending
Hasten On, also from the Spa. Dom,
Unique, in Sam Hildreth's stable, is
another Eastern eligible. e. R
Bradley will be represented by Best
Pal. ]. S. Hawkins and McBrayel
Moore will send Cotton Blossom tc
the post, and there are many who be-
lieve she viii land the prize. Other
eligibles likely to start are Sweep
Jr., Lunetta, Tulsa, Lorraine, Prince
Pal, Peace Pennant, Travesty ant
Melvin.
There will be plenty of good rid
ers. (adv)

EXPLOSIONS CAUSED BY DUST
Truth About Disasters Chased as Mys-
terles Only Discovered in Com.
paratiVely Recon. Years.

Until the summer of 1873 such
thing as a dust explosion was I'M
known. No doubt many such cxplo.
sions had occurred, but they were of
small account and no investigation fol-
lowed to disclose the true nature Of
the case. In that summer the Wash
burn Touring mills ut Minneapolis
then the largest in the world exploded
with terrific violence. Several mas
siye buildings with granite walls two
feet thick and particularly strong mill
construction were demolished as if by
II, immense charge of dynamite. The
lame of the first explosion was COM
municated 10 two other mills which
also blew up. and three other mills
were destroyed in the COnnagration
that followed. Eighteen men were
killed and many more were injured
and several millions of dollars worth
of property Wee destroyed. The wheat
bins continued smoldering for months
afterward in spite of deluges of water
poured upon them.
Investigation showed that the eXplo.
sion was nothing more than a rapid
combustion of the fine particles of
flour which filed the air of the mills.
Since then it has been discovered that
many of the coal mine explosions are
primarily dust explosions following a
windy shot" made by some careless
blaster.
