WEEKLY COTTON REVIEW
Rr Assncinted pr.sa


 New York, March 1.-The cotton mar ket has been irregular during the past week, with the price of May contracts fluctuating between 11.5Oc and 12.1lc. conn pared with 11.12c. the low record req ched at the beginning of the month. Trad ing has been comparatively quiet, prob ally reflecting a disposition to await European political developments or the further action of southern spot markets with the advance of the planting season The comparatively steady ruling of for eign exchange rates has encouraged hopeful view of the European situation and, if anything, there has been rather better feeling to the spot cotton posi- tion, No improvement has been reported in demand from the trade in southern markets, but many reports nave come in of a better demand for low graoes for speculative or investment account. This has been accompanied by further revisons of differences between grades with an appreciation in the value Of the lower qualities as compared Wlth mlu- ding, and there has evidently been less pressure of southern offerings Tn some quarters this has been taken to mean that distressed lots were pretty well liqudated toward the close of last month and that view has been encouraged py reports of improving financial conditions in Georgia.
 Reports from the goods trade nave shown little change and there has been further talk of increased domestic mlii curtalment, while trade advlces rom Liverpool and Manchester have indlcateo continued British trade depression Sn- settled conditions in Indian hays been among the discouraging features, but m the absence of any great pressure oi hedge selling, the market has felt the steadying influence of southern auNlees pointing to a substantial decrease m Ier- tilizer prices and acreages

BIG RACES AT PHOENIX.

Phoenix-Barney Oldfield and a half dozen or more stars of the auto race are coming to Phoenix to stage whatis believed will prove to be the fastest, most furious, most spectacular and thrilling series of speed events ever witnessed in Arizona or the entire Southwest,
 November 9 and November 12 are the dates set for this superb program of varied and fantastic thrills. The dates fall on We'd nesday and Saturday of Indus trial Week, which will be ob- served in Phoenix from Novem- Der 2 to 12 inclusive.
 Ralph DePalma, the worlds most daring speed demon, will be here with his famous French Ballot 8 in a row cylinder racing car which holds the worlds re- cord. In addition Tommy Mil ton, Jim Murphy, Roscoe Sarels and other stars of the first mag nitude, all known to Arizona speed fans, are scheduled for the entries.
 Motorcycling will be one of the leading attractions of the two days program. To many spectators this sport appears more hazardous and daring than auto racing. These entries in clude many noted riders from the coast and elsewhere.
 Further variety will be added by airplane stunts, and the in- troduction of the novel and ex- citing game of auto polo. The teams are we'll matched and pre- pared to put on an exhibition containing plenty of snappy play, and perilous frolic. A full program is promised for both November and 12.
 The events will be held at the state fair grounds on a practi- cally new track, guaranteed to be much faster than the old. For weeks past engineers and graders have been at work on the track repairing the damage done by the Cave Creek flood of last August and incidentally re- constructing the track from start to finish.
 The turns have been banked several feet higher than before, thus affording surface which assures high speed at the turns. This feature alone is expected to clip many seconds from the pre- sent records for dirt tracks.

THAT OLD COPPER KETTLE.

On a big dairy farm the farm CT was feeding a bull calf his daily ration of skim milk out of big copper kettle.
 It held about ten gallons and was battered up and stained with age and looked as if it had been through the wars.
 Asked about it the farmer said that kettle had been in the faml- ly for four generations and was liable to last four more.
 The ia amily brought it out with them from Ohio across the plains with an OK team along with other household belongings.
 It had been used to heat water and cook rations for large company of immigrants but was now handed over to the live stock.
 Still it was good for genera tions to come because copper does not rust and does not crack and cannot be broken or easily worn out.
 There is a lesson in that cop per kettle for all westerners, who want indestructible implements made of a western product.
 For the west is the land of the red metal that needs to go into more general use for building, household utensils and tools.
 The manufacture of copper kitchen ware, dairyware. hotel and restaurant equipment, should become a large western industry.

S. p. LINE NOT COMPLETED.

The following self-explanatory statement from Mir. T. G. Wright, assistant terminal superinten- dent of the Southern Pacific Railway Company of Mexico, has been handed to the local newspapers:
 There have recently appear ed in papers printed in both the United States and in Mexico, items to the effect that the Southern Pacific Railway Com pany of Mexico had reconstruct ed their line to Topic and had re announced service to that place.
 This information is erroneous and has caused the public con siderable trouble. Quite a few people, contemplating trips to Topic, have started south with the understanding that trains were operating through. to Te- pic, finding out after arriving in Nogales, or even further south, that the information was erro- neous. S.:
 Would appreciate it if you will run a little item to this eff feet. in which you may state that construction to Topic has not been completed but that it is hoped to have tke line to Topic completed by the 1st of January, in which event same will be i'm mediately put into service. It looks very probable that the line will be reconstructed as far as Puga in the early part of No vemb Der and it is contemplated to install service as far south as Puga about November 18th. Pu- ga is approximately twenty kilo- meters from Topic"
