COTTON MARKET REVIEW.

NEW YORK, July 16.-The cotton
market was quiet but generally
steady today. Bullish features COM
mented upon in the news from the
goods trade or spot markets failed
to stimulate much fresh buying, but
offerings were very light, and after
selling OFF to 12.SS early October ral-
lied to 1907. closing at 1903, COM
pared with 1890 at the close yester-
day. The general market closed firm
at a net advance of 6 to 16 points
feature which attracted some at
tention around the rings was the fact
that offerings showed very little in
crease on the basis of 13 cents for
October. suggesting that contracts
for sale at that level had been pretty
well absorbed earlier in the week.
NEW ORLEANS. La. July 16.-An
unfavorable opinion of the weather
conditions prevailing in the eastern
belt, continued large exports and IA
vorable items in weekly trade re-
views concerning the textile industry
supported the cotton market to-
day, and during the greater part of
the session prices were at moderate
advances. At the highest levels Oc-
tober stood at 1850. and the more
active months were II to % points
up. The close showed net gains Of
13 to % points, with October at 125S.

Justly claim not only the highest con-
ceivable legal, but also moral. right
TO expect that the integrity of their
savings and Investments will be fully
protected. 1 stress the moral element
because it enters into the value and
stability of investments just as surely
as do legal and economic considera-
1ions.'
The fact that the moral character
OF the American people is the highest
in the world appears to me as one of
the most dependable and substantial
safeguards which investors have, be-
cause it must be remembered that
under the system of public regulation
which has developed in this country
particularly now that it extends npt
only to rates but to wages-the final
moral responsibility for the integrity
of railroad investments rests with the
people as whole.
Mr.. Lee said his remarks applied as
we'll to stockholders of railroads as to
bondholders. because railroad stocks
as a whole represent real value, and
honest investment"
Tndeed il is obvious from the fig
ures and facts have given that as
against the s6.50O. 100000 Of capital
stock outstanding there must be over
a.sooe. 100000 of equity in the prop.

 I don't expect no coupons from the United cigar stores for writeing this here letter but man has got to write about something and if such famous men as Irving Cobb and Samuel Blythe sees fit to bare their soul in confidential articles like how I got skinny and how I quit cock tails and etc. why I guess it is O. K. for man like 1 to tell the story of how l conquered my lady Nicotine a specially as it seems to me like this subject must be of greater gen. int. than the other ? as 1 believe they's more people wants to quit smokeing than wants to get thin or dry. But in writeing this article I will half to raise the veil of secrecy in regards to some of my most intimate details which ask the readers indulgents in advance for same.
 We'll friends I did not begin smokeing till I was g yrs. old and kind of went at it slow even then as I had been warned that smokeing would stunt a persons growth and I might say here that if that is true. why if I had not of smoked at all would now be holding a lucrative DO. sition with Ringling's circus.
 Most men of yrs. old that is raised in small towns begins their career of crime with a pipe load of corn silk, but I started right in a, the top with my fathers cigars which On acct. of him haveing a whole poz of them I did not think he would miss a couple day but he found Il out some way another and him and had a meeting and I give in on 2 couple minor points amongst which was that I would quit smokeing ii he would quit acting that way. So lived pretty clean for ? yrs. and ther begin again but this time it was GU, bebs and finely cigarettes which rolled my own with a brand of to. bacco that is now out of print whicf it was named Dukes Cameo and i looked like it had been swept off th' barber shop floor and probably tasted the same

 There could, of course be impropriety in the appointment of to the disarmament confer ence, but it to us that there is improprety in insistence that any party. should be represented there We cannot insist that there shall be Democrats, Republicans, Presbyterians, Catho- otherwise properly qualified belonging any of these parties denominations should not be dele gate the conference.
 Returning though to Miss Robertson's exhibition of courage in the face of her drowning sisters. we wish that all taves had the hardihood face all ciques and factions, whether composed of males or females or both. Then much minority and improper legislation would be avoided. congress- Is apt to yield to small organized clique in his district, though he knows it represents but a meager minority of public sentiment. He knows too that every vote in it will be against him if he does not yield while he count upon the apathetc vote the great unorganized unconcerned majority. That vote. he is aware. will be divided other issues. while the clique submerges all other issues the in which 1t is interested. the clique the record of the congressman made up wholly of his attitude that issue.

The Fearless Miss Robertson

Congresswoman Alice Robertson of Oklahoma is member of the house of representatives who is not afraid of women. Most of the members are and are willing yield to them against their own better judgment rather than to risk But Miss Rob- ertson not only stands out against them when believes the legislation they for improper, is not averse to making side trips "beard them their den" if this figure in relation to women is appropriate.
 Miss Robertson opposed the maternity bill as a needless interference with American domestic life, and agency for the dissipation of the public funds in order that a few leaders of might have jobs. Other members of congress privately felt the same way about 1t but feared that the of their districts knowing little nothing about the maternity bill, would in it only something the advantage of women and would resent the polls opposition to it.
 Miss Robertson however appears to have gone somewhat out of her way to criticize the demand of the National Women Voters League for repre- sentation in the disarmament conference She could easily have avoided that Yet think that her

The Greater Use of Copper

The of copper in building is mended by the Builders Exchange of Phoenix. both economic and patriotic grounds-because copper is much more lasting we'll beautiful than many metals in and because the greater use of it win stimulate the copper industry. the greatest single industry in the state.
 Formerly the durable metals were so en- ployed in building for formerly durability was more considered than 1t has been in years. Houses constructed in Europe generations ago still ing. defying Within their existence generations of tn-pan, gingerbread American houses have passed away and succeeded by others still more flmsy.
 The first cost of copper in construction Is the last It Is coming and more into use in the better classes of construction. It gives building dstinctiveness and substantiality which adds far more to the value of house than any excess its cost oyer that of cheaper metal
 The greater use of 1t in Arizona would not only assist the copper producing industry but would for the fashioning of 1t into shape for it's various uses.
 Mention made by The Republican the other day that probably the Arizona automobile license plates of the future would be made of Arizona copper matter Of economy. since the cost them would be less than that of the iron plates with the freight added from eastern factories.
 A factory in this state for the cutting and stamping of the plates could be established without great outlay. and it would probably find an outlet for plates in adjacent states.

 Well friends would rather cough my way through life than go around looking so porous so I went back to the ready mades and stuck with them till this last June when I got the big idear which was to not try and quit smokeing entirely but to cut out the cigarettes and smoke nothing but cigars on the grounds that you wouldn't smoke near so much.
 Like for inst. you wouldn't be libel to light one before breakfast or fh the middle of the night or dureing meals or go out between acts at the
 
 you wouldn't have, time to smoke more than s or of them per day Whereas to pills before breakfast ain't rothing you might say and be- tween then and bed time you can easy get away with 40 or 50 and when you go to bed you don't nc sooner get to sleep than you wake ur and they won't nothing put you back to sleep but another pill. till it gets so as the night is divided into 24 shifts of 20 minutes each. which you sleep one shift and smoke one sniff and vice versa
 So friend and readers I cut out l the cigarettes and have took up the cigars and that is all they is to the story of howl win my battle with the lady Nicotine only I might add that the first ? days under the new regime I didn't hardly cough at all but now I am hitting again on all cylinders and l don't wake up no more in tht night because in order to do that i is first necessary to go to sleep.
