COTTON ADVANCED
$4,000 THE BALE


Record for tho Past Week And Indi.
cations are Favorable for Further
Rise.
New Orleans, Sept. 1.-THE price of
cotton moved over range of nearly
four cents a pound, OF $40 bale last
week, fluctuations being violent in the
extreme OH several sessions and held
in check only by the rules of the cot
ton exchange, limiting price changes
to 200 points in any one session. On
Wednesday all months bulgcd the full
zoo points allowed, on the first sales
on the opening call, something never
before witnessed AT the highest lev
els of the week prices were 400 points
over last weeks close and at the low
est they were unchanged to 10 points
UP, compared with the same close. The
range carried the market over $50 to
400 points.
October traded rs high as 21.49 and
May as high as 22.10. On the close
October stood at 20.25 and May at
19.45, the near month being much
stronger than the distant in the last
couple Of sessions Of the week. The
close showed net gains of 1875 to 27G
points on the list. In the spot depart
mcnt mddling gained 325 points in
the net results, closing at POPS against
29.25 year ago.
In the carly sessions of the week the
tendency Of Liverpool to make scnsa-
ti0nal advances was the chief stmu-
lating influence but later on the heavy
rains in Texas and the appearance Of
hurricane in the tropical waters
were the main factors.
On the closing session pronounced
strength was displayed as the result
Of the disastrous storm in Texas and
the increasing evidence that the hur-
ricanc was moving toward the Yucca
tan channel from which locality it
would be the usual, menace to the
cotton region. The storm in Texas
had marked effect on values because
it followed several days of local
rains, the effect Of which was held to
be disastrous because OF the great
quantity OF cotton open in the west
A great deal Of attention was paid
during the week to the buying nurrics
in the cotton goods markets Of the
country and advances in prices there
were reacted favorably on values in
the cotton market. The textile situa-
tion was brought into increased prom
inence because mill takings for the
week Of American cotton were 232 900
bales against lGl 900 this week last
year, and 10000 two years ago The
increased exports of yarns from
Great Britain were received very fav-
orably. British board of trade re-
turns showed exports of yarns during
August Of l5,200,G00 pounds against
1900, 600 during the same month last
year. Reports Of generally better
spct inquiry in the markets OF the in
terror had not little do with the
rise in contracts.

The Song is as follows:
We are glad you came to visit us,
And we hope you will not forget,
That our school is very good,
But we need your helping hands.
Chorus.
We are trying to make the ladies,
We are trying to make the men;
That our country will be proud of us.
But it takes education
Now listen please to what we have

And take it all to heart,
For we want longer term

We want to thank our many friends,
That have come to help us out,
For we need you without a doubt
