OF fruits and vegetables, they are
prepared by newspaper reporters or
representatives of trade journals who
are supposed to cover the market
each morning and determine the
range of prices for each commodity,
either from actual saes or from the
opinions expressed by members of
the trade.
Public auction sales and transac-
lions on boards of trade also indicate
general market conditions and aid in
determining prevailing prices for the
day. Auction quotations have the
advantage of representing bona fide
sales in the majority of cases and of
showing actual amounts moving at
different prices. Quotations. as
sometimes published. are not of
great vaue unles price ranges are
given for the varieties of each com.
modify as we'll as for the commodity
as a whole. If, for example, the
published quotations give the range
in prices for apes as whole, en-
tirely disregarding varieties or
grades, the statement would be so
broad as to be almost worthless and
would lead to serious misinterpreta-
tons.

FOR KITCHEN EFFICIENCY

Arrange your kitchen equipment
SO that it will give you the most help
and take the least work.
Choose things easy to clean and
care for.
Try to locate the stove, sink, work
table and storage places so there will
be no unnecessary steps in moving
from one to the other.
Have good light where you work
the most.
Adjust sink and work table to the
height of most comfortable for the
person who uses them.
Group your utensils so that you
can reach them easily. Put those
most frequently used in the most con-
venient places. Small ones may be
hung on little hooks fastened to the
wall or the edge of shelf.
Group them near the places in
which they are most used and put
those used together near each other

New Orleans Cotton

New Orleans, July 6.-Most Of the ac- tivity in today's trading in cotton was damned into the last few minutes or the session, when on Q covering move ment among the short element and on fresh buying for long account of im- portant proportions all of the buying to all appearances, arising from expecta- tions of wet weather in the belt tonight. Prices were forced upward until they stood 45 to 52 points higher than the close of last week, October touching 33. 200. Last prices showed net gains of S2 to 42 points.
 During the greater part of the day the market was listless with prices drifting about showing minor net advances at one time and equally narrow net de- clines at another In the early trading depressions were caused by poor cables and a rather favorable view of weather conditions and on the selling that re- suited net declines of 15 to 23 points were made. This was the low of the day Subsequently, the market reacted until it stood [ to 26 points over the final prices of last week, but from this the market sagged off again to about net unchanged levels The early upward re- action was caused by the almost general rains noted in the official returns from the belt and by private reports that rain was continuing at many points in the belt It was almost altogether wealth CT market.

PRICE CUTTING IN CORN MARKET WAS
 GRAIN PIT FEATURE
Both Corn and Oats Took a Good Dip, While Provisions Were
 Set Back Also

Chicago. July 6.-Severe price cutti&-s took place in the corn market today, chiefly as a result of ideal crop condi- tions and big receipts. At one time De- cember delivery was down S1ac. The market closed unsettled, 1%4GoAc net lower, with September $l. .601s@d. cos and December $1. .46ild1. 461s. Oats finished Is T7sc off and provisions at a setback of 4onS0c.
 Optimism regarding the crop outlook appeared to be almost unanimous in the corn pit, A large number of traders had made excursions during the holidays and had observed personally the extent to which the effects of late planting had been overcome. Besides the weather today continued extremely favorable to rapid growth, and there weret receipts of 800 carloads here, the most liberal total in a long while. About the only ad- verse factor was the chance of black rust in the spring wheat belt. Under such circumstances. bearish sentiment became overwhelming and rallies later were due nearly altogether to profit taking by shorts.
 Oats were held relatively steady ow ing to liberal purchase orders from the east and from an important elevator in- terest here.
 Provisions gave way with corn. Az gressive support was lacking as a result of the immense stocks in sight.

into coarse wrapping paper. but into nothing better. What the vegetable growth in Texas is, which, it is believed, seems to have met the demand of sci ence, it not known, but it is known that science has discovered that the so-called sawgrass of Florida. which grows upon millions of acres, and which hitherto has been regarded as a useless vegetable. can be made to yield fiber which can
 be converted into pulp suitable for the manufacture of newsprint paper.
 The shortage in paper available for newspaper printing makes 1t certain that if a vegetable fiber be found which may be cultivated every year and which con
 tains the qualities for good paper pulp, then there would be benefit to the nation.
 It has stimulated many men of science and also some men of capital to pursue
 investigation and research in the hope
 that at last the world will be no longer
 dependent upon the fiber of the spruce and other trees.
 The annual value of the silk imported
 by the United States, most of it from Japan and China, is estimated at S4os- O0o, 900 Science has at last undertaken to perfect processes by means of which the United States will be self-supporting,
 so far as silk is concerned, and the s4O0,- GOO 900 which we have. been paying to
 other countries for silk will be kept at

It may be that within year or two announce ment will be made that there is we'll founded promise of successful silk culture in the south upon so great scale as to make the United States independent of Japana and China. ln Texas, science and capital have combined so that there may be development of silk worm culture
 This involves the planting of new va rety of mulberry trees which are prolific Learers of leaves upon which the SIX worm exclusively feeds. And then will follow the treatment of the worms. the collection of the cocoons, the unwindinS of the silk fibre and the putting of it in marketable condition. Millions of acres of these trees have already been planted
 to justify the hope that within the next five years the southern states will os furnishing all of the silk which is needed

JULY COTTON WAS FEATURE OF THE
 NEW YORK MARKET
Closing In the General List Was Strong, With New Crop Going to Higher
 Figures
By A->ociated Press

New York, July 6.-The feature in the cotton market today was the strength of July, which sold up to 3s.75 or with in 50 points of, the seasons nigh rec ord. and s5 points above last Fridays closing. That delivery closed at Ss.10c. with the general list closing strong, net unchanged to so points higher, most of the active new crop positions being p to 40 points net higher
 There was renewed selling on the bearish condition report of last Fri day at the start, and the pressure was encouraged by generally good weather trade adviceS
 First prices were unchanged to IF points lower. and the market sold about 20 to S7 points net lower during the early trading.
 The covering, which developed later, sent July 645 points above October, the widest difference so far recorded this season if not the widest on record. and the buying extended to the new crop position during the later trading. October sold up from S2.6sc to S3.4oc, and December from S1.3Sc to S2.16c, or 39 to fl points net higher, and the close was within a few points of the best.

New York. July 6.-The session of the stock exchange today was accom- panied by general, but irregular acces- sions to last weeks spirited rally, events over the three day recess re- ceiving favorable interpretation in pro fessional quarters. Dealings assumed wider and more solid dimensions than at most any period in the previous month.

 Money was the paramount factor, call loans soon easing from their open ing rate of per cent with free sup plies at per cent in the less active, though higher price level of the last hour.
 The foreign exchange market was moderately active on an accumulation of business over the holidays. British bills eased slightly, but marked strength was shown by French and Belgian remittances. also Italian ex- change.

Sugar Market By Associated Press

New York, July 6.--The local market for raw sugar was quiet, although the undertone was firmer and prices were advanced to the basis of 17isc for Cubas, cost and freight, equal to 1S.56c for centrifugal There were no sales to local refners, who do not seem in- clined to bid above 17Ac for Cubas, cost and freight, while holders ask |1712c.
 Prices for refined sugar were un- changed at 22c to 24c for fine grant, lated. All refiners are pretty well sold ahead
 There was only a small trade in sugar futures and prices were irregu- lar. Old crop months closed unchanged from the close of last week. New crops were lower, closing un- changed to 10 points lower.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1920-07-07

New York, July GA letter received this morning from one who is an expert authority in chemistry in Washington and especially applied chemistry reports that information has been received at the patent office and other places wnicn shows that chemists and men of science of the United States are now busily oc- cupied in efforts to bring forth commo- dities of which there is a scarcity or threatened scarcity so that hereafter the supply of the raw material may equal the demand.
 This is especially true of chemists who are endeavoring to penetrate the secret of nature hitherto undiscovered whereby hydrogen and carbon are so combined beneath the soil as to produce pe- troleum. The ablest men of science have been for some time certain that synthetic chemistry may at last discover this se- cret, and if this be done, then no longer will there be apprehension of an exhaus- tion of our supplies of petroleum, be- cause carbon is an inexhaustible natural resource found everywhere, and also IS hydrogen, which can be obtained by de- composing water. Several hundred chem ists in the United States are now occu- pied with attempt to solve this mystery. The fortunate chemist who does perfect the formula and protects it by patent rights will gain very large fortune. al- though he doubtless will not secure a monopoly, because the government Will in sist upon licensing all who desire 10 manufacture petroleum by the synthetic process.
 This, however, is not the only problem which the men of science are seeking to solve. Many are the experiments ana tests which are now in progress with in tent to discover, if possible, vegetanie fiber yearly in it's growth which may furnish an adequate supply of pulp so pulp printing paper may at least De ended.
