Over Private Wires
Post & Flagg

New York, June 30.-The market has been exceeding dull but has shown a steady tone with less pressure and a rather better ability to absorb offerings
 The only selling of importance was 15,- OO0 bales of October through one firm said to be in liquidation of Southern long ac- counts but the case with which that was taken in market so narrow was the subject of favorable comment. Opin- ions differen as to whether the cotton went to shorts or to the trade but which, ever it was it seemed to be wanted The weekly weather report was regarded as favorable though it pointed to very irregular spotted condition and laid stress on the abundance of weevil. Some mention was also made of cool nights but it is evident that substantial improve ment took place during the month. Just how much and to what extent it has been discounted remains to be seen The re- port failed to bring in any fresh sellin5 which perhaps was disappointment to some. According to some observers the market has absorbed about 35,000 bales the last two days without developing any weakness. An old maxim in the trade is not to sell June scenery or go short of cotton after July 4th. until the crop begins to move freely. We suspect, how ever, that the adage has this season been honored more in the breach than in the
 observance. Time will give the answer. There were no exports today. Total exports for, the season are 6,159000 vs. 4,901, 600 last year.-Post X Flagg.

New Orleans June oJ-(SpeciaD - While the cotton market stood at small net declines during the greater part of today's session. the tone was very steady for while towards the close on what appeared to be covering Of the short interests in anticipation of bureau day Around the opening prices were to points up, but the market soon fell off under selling encouraged by the very favorable weather over the belt and the decline continued until July was at 36.65c and the list was 21 to p points under the close of yesterday.
 The weekly crop reports were even more favorable than expected. but they brought out surprisingly little selling. New York reported that liquidation of important lines Of short contracts was under way and shorts here seemed to think the favorable reports would make a good place for them to cover on.
 To some extent the market was sus- tained by the final June condition re- port from the National Ginners' Associa- tion of 71,2 and the statement by the bureau that the government figures would probably be a point or two under this level It served to bring before most traders the fact that the market is facing what. after all, in the final analysis, probably will have to be called bulish report.

Habits of the Wood Thrush

Samuel Scoville, Jr., in the Yale Re
 view.
 Some April evening between cherry blow and apple blossom. the wood thrush comes back. I first hear his organ notes from the beech tree at the foot of Violet hill. Down from my house beside the white oak I hurry to meet him. Two years ago he came to me on May 3. in 1917 on April 27. and in 1916 on April 3o. He seems al ways glad to see me, yet with certain reserves and withdrawings quite diff ferent from the robbins who chirp un- restrainedly at ones very feet His well-fitting coat of wood-brown and solt white. dusked and dotted with black accords with the natural dignity of the bird. It is quite impossible to be reserved in a red waistcoat. Some of my earliest and happiest bird mem cries are of this sweet singer. On July Il, 1904 T was looking for tine shaft of lost gold mine in Northern Con- necticut when l found wood thrush S nest by the simple process of putting my head into the sapling where it rest ed. some five feet from the ground As stared at the four long light blue eggs the black point of a tiny beak showed on one. Then the egg moved and cracked and split. and before my astonished eyes a little wood thrush hatched. It's head was curled down be- tween it's legs, the throat throbbed with regular pulse while it's gaun' , body shook and quivered with the beating of the newly started heart It was blind and bare and unbelfevedly ugly. Yet. as. little by little it forced Its way out of the prisoning shell. knew that I was watching g fellow 1 creature. bound like us to the vince of life. and with us strdggiing ana agonizing upwards. <: <
