WEEKLY COTTON
By Associated Prsss

New York, August 27,-The cotton mak- ket showed weakness during the earled part of the week but after selling off to 4.45c for December or approxmate- ly seven cents a pound from the best price of the month and nearly i2 cents per pound below the high record of last April turned firmer, Since then there have been rallies of between two and three cents pound on most of the ac- tive months awing to less favorable |rrivate condition figures than expected and more numerous crop complaints based on renewed showers or rains in the South Some trade buyinf has been reported on the advances but according to local brokers the buying has resulted largely from a disposition to take pro- fits or cover short contracts in advance of next weeks government report
 The export movement has continued light and prospects in that direction have been rendered more uncertain by the threat of a British coal strike. while no improvement has been reported in the domestic goods situation. It Is said that old orders in the hands of manu- facturers are being gradually worked out and that mill curtailment Is increasing owing to the absence of fresh business
 with probabl that some of the mills will continue on short time after Labor Day.
 According to local spot brokers the st- uation in this respect accounts for the comparatively light remand for early new crop shipment and they also say that the trade demand for raw material may remain quiet until goods buyers become more active According to south ern advices cotton growers are discuss ing plans to resist the decline in przces and there were reports from South Caro- lima that planters were agreeing to with hold 25 per cent of the present crop from market and reduce acreage next spring | Up to the end of the week six of the privote end-month crop reports had been l issued, the condition Ggures ranging l from 68 to 725 and the crop indications from 12,750,0oo to 13,75o0oo bales compared
 with tn governments end-July in- dication of 13519,oo bales. The next
 government report is to be published on Wednesday, September 1.

Searchlights In Fireworks

Seldom is new development in science heralded so spectacularly that whole city may gaze delightedly upon it's ef- fects, says Paul H. Woodruff in an arti- cle with fuli-page illustration appearing in the Popular Mechanics Magazine. Yet the other day a New York community of 13OOO was treated to an enormous fire works display without fire. during the first public demonstration of a new in- candescent searchlight
 The secret of the new lights success lies in the arrangement of the tungsten filaments in the lamp. In ons form. working on 12 volts and 100 amperes. five coilsd flaments lie side by side like a grid at the focal point of the reflector. and deliver the astonishing illumination of 1900. 600 candlspower in 3 degree beam. A 1000 to 1,500 watt lamp for 1l5 volts, giving a 100000 to 100000 candle power beam has it's six fiament coils in the form of "S.'' with the back toward the reflector. A third form of 4.o00. .J01 candiepower intended for boat use and taking 1000 watts at s2 volts. carries four filamentS in close square. All the lamps have bulbs of hard glass. to withstand the heat
 Tn the demonstration twenty parallel beams were used. in connection with jets of steam in the form of fans. wheels and l flowers. producing fiery designs of re- markable beauty

Bradstreet's Review
By Associated Pro0

New York, August 27.--Bradstreets tomorrow will say: Trade and indus try irregular, with rather more quiet conditions with number of lines as August draws to a close. On the ot hand several rather favorable Issues deserve mention in order that the market should not be regarded un- favorably.
 The really big developments of the week are indeed rather outside of the line of purchasing and manufacture these including very decided gain by the railroads in the matter of clear ing up past and present condition. the going into effect of the new and high CT freight rates. and stimulated there by. the apparent parting of the rail- ways from the industrials as regards strength and market activity especial ly in railway securities.
 No. especial activities Is, of course, possible in financial lines, rates held so firmly, the rates being actually higher on tho. week. Exchange rates have gone lower, but this Is conceded as due to foreign buying as to sales by spectators for the decline.

Floating Radio Laboratory

With a remarkable collection of wire less telephone and telegraph apparatus installed in laboratory aboard 700- ton yacht the Electra" Guglielmo Mar conf is now engaged in cruising the Mediterranean sea, in search of new knowledge about electrlcal-wave action, says Popular Mechanics Magazine In the equipment are radiotelephone sefs that talk 100 miles and have receiving range of 300, wireless telegraph outfit good for from 14O0 to 2,500 miles, accord- ing to conditions. a generator that runs imbedded in mass of cork dust to es- cape vibration. and some new devices not yet perfected
 The specific objects of this strange cruise are to mako exact determination of the influence of sea and land on spaca communication, to investigate atnos- pheric and static effects. and to develop certain forms of apparatus as yet little known to wireless workers. One of these latter is the two-way radiotelephone, per- mittieg the operator to send and receive at the same time, as in ordinary wire telephony.
 The yacht, with It's ,50ooo worth of wireless equipment alone, Is scheduled to stop at several ports after leaving Southampton, England.
