NEW ORLEANS COTTON


 New Orleans, August 30.-Specula- tive driving power sent the cotton market to higher levels today in the face of almost constant realizing from the long element and warning from brokers and professional traders that the market was in great danger of becoming overbought. The demand was great enough to absorb all offer ings from any and every source and to put prices to new high record levels for the season, at the same time fol- lowing only narrow reactions and even these narrow reactions did not last. Highest prices came late in the day when the trading months were 5S to 61 points over the close of yes- terday The close was 47 to 51 points net higher. October went to 16.21c and closed at l6l0c; March went to 16.76c and closed at 16.6Sc.
 The same influences were at work that have constantly lifted values of late, namely: Claims of crop damage in almost all sections of the belt, evidences of about the most severe August crop deteriorations on record, belief in very low condition report from the government Thursday and q growing disposition to believe in ex- tremely small estimates of the yield for this season.
 The opening was excited with prices bulging in strong fashion in response to a sensationally good Liverpool market. Heavy realizing met the gains, but, after reactions of about dollar a bale, the market came back strongly and this was the programme throughout the session, prices coming back to new high levels after each recession.

TIME ID CUT WEEDS BEF ORE SEED|NG
Dr. Gardner Advises Farmers, to Guard Against 0bnox-
 iouS Field Pests
By Briggs.

Auburn, August 30.-(Special.)-- noxious weeds are rapidly maturing seed, and to avoid a big crop of seed next year the moving machine should be frequently used in pas lures and other places where 1t can be operated, says pr. W. A. Gardner, professor of. botany.
 The weeds referred to by Dr. Gard ner are bitter weed, horse weed, hog weed, horse nettle, rag weed, cookie bur, coffee weed and spiney anna rant, all of which should be cut just at the time when the plant food is going into the production of seed, but before the seeds are sufficiently ma ture to germinate next spring.
 In addition to the obnoxious weeds mentioned Dr. Gardner strongly urges the destruction of the follow ing poisonous plants, which are dan gerous to both man and beast: Poison ivy, poison oak, sumac, laurel. jiin- son weed and pleurisy root. Live stock do not generally eat these weeds in pastures, but at this sea son of year when pastures are very likely to become short because of, dry weather they are liable to be eaten and in many cases prove fatal to the life of an animal.
 A little time spent in destroying obnoxious and poisonous weeds, be- fore the rush of the harvest season will be time well spent, because ir may save the life of an animal, and will certainly reduce the number of weeds to be destroyed next year.

HUBBARD's LETTER

New York. August s0.-(Specia'p } Prices again advanced today. follow ing sharp rise in Liverpool. whlcs complained of lack of hedge selliu.; to meet the demand. It was report ed that some very large lines were covered here during the day This cotton was bought with comparative ease, and the market acted tired.
 In fact, the recent advance frcm 13%c within two weeks has dis counted anything but sensational;y feel that while prices will ultimately low government report. In fact, we go very much higher that It is now fitting for those who have benefited by tie improvement in prices to take profits and await further develop n5er,fs. No market has ever before advanced continuously without peri ods of sharp and violent reactions, caused by prices temporarily reach ing a point where the trade refused to follow, and we believe we are very nearly. fl not actually at that point in the present development of prices for this coming crop.-Hubbard Bros. & O..

Discouraged Longs Unload Wheat on
 Bad Canadian News
By Associated Press

Chicago, August 30-The fact that Canadian May wheat sold at dis count under the same delivery In Chicago allowing for exchange rates was chiefly responsible for unloading by discouraged longs on the Chicago board of trade today wheat closing IA to Pc under yesterdays finish. Corn was 1@1A off the close while oats followed suit to the extent of being as@ hc lower.
 Insufficient support gave all of of the grain markets to one of weak ness. Reports from the seaboard were for sales of 100000 bushels or wheat up to noon including a cargo to rcaly. The bulge Is 10c from the low of last week caused many to take the selling side today on the belief that reaction was somewhat over due.
 Corn was under pressure and broks over one cent from yesterdays finish with sellers of bids forced to pro tect themselves on the way down. support was lacking although when around 63c for September and De- cember resting orders checked the break.
 Stop loss orders were uncovered in september oats, early, and prices for all deliveries dropped sharply.
 Packers brought the nearby de- liveries of lard presumably agains. sales abroad but the weakness in grains and hogs gave provisions rather heavy undertone at times.

COTTON LIST WENT ID Y CENTS FOR
 MARCH SELLING
The General Market Closed Steady at a Net Advance of Fifty-five to Sixty-one
 Points on the Day
Ry Associated Press

New York, August 30.--Still higher prices were established In the cot ton market here today with Decem- Der contracts selling at 16.9Sc while March and later deliveries went through the r cents level, witlt March selling at 17.0Sc. December closed at 16.S7c, with the general market closing steady at net ad- vance of 55 to 61 points.
 The market opened firm at an ad- vance of 29 to 40 points in response to rather unexpectedly strong Liver pool cables, accompanied by reports of an increasing trade demand for futures, and a continued good demand for spots in the market there. There was heavy realizing and some south ern hedge selling on the local ad- vance, but 1t was absorbed on reac- tions of 20 or 30 points and the market became very strong and ex- cited during the early afternoon. ow- ing to an active demand for Octo- Der.
 Three or four prominent brokers supposed to be operating for western or Wall street interests were credited with buying fully 10000 bales of De- tober, sending the price up to lo.oVc and the general list 50 to 61 points above last nights closing figures. As soon as the October demand slack ened the market broke pretty sharp ly under renewed realizing and rather more confident selling for reaction. A decline of 2S or 40 points from the best brought in renewed de- mand late in the afternoon, however. and the best prices of the day were touched in the late trading with Octo- Der selling at 16.6Sc and January a. 16.96c. The close was only a few points off from the best. Better weather in the southwest seemed to make very little impression on senti- ment and a number of reports were received claiming that rains now would be too late to help the crop.
 The comparatively small volume of hedge selling was mentioned as a bullish feature as indicating that spot offerings brought out by the advance in the south were not in ex- cess of the markets powers of ab- sorption and there were reports that good grades and staples were diff cult to secure. No private reports were issued but the average of esti- mates by cotton exchange members points to condition of o0.3

August 3O.-The stock market to- day continued it's upward course, the only conspicuous exceptions being the lccal fractions and diverse spe- eialties concerning which further div idena reductions pr suspensions were apprshended.
 Easier money, Keen investment demand IS evldeneed by the success taa Rotation ce .,vov Brazilian Donu ol4sI4us and further repara- tions payments by Germany in ad- vance of their maturity were among the factors which impelled heavy covering of short contracts.
 The strength of rails and steels at gains of l to 8 points seemed to be based mainly on better earnings re- ported by the transportations and the probability that leading railway sys- tems soon would come into the mar ket for equipment and other sup plies.
 Representative oils figured most prominently in the more active oper- ations of the afternoon. Mexican Petroleum and affiliated issues rose to D F points on intimations that the impending conference between the Mexican government and American concessionaires would result in an adjustment of existing vexatious conditions.
 Shppings, motors, feathers. to- baccos and numerous specialties long the target of the shorts came for ward in the more comprehensive ad- vance, cancelling much of their re- cent reversal. Prof1t-taking on an extensive scale made little impress sion at the strong close.
