WEEKLY COTTON REVIEW
By Associated Press

New York, August 12.-The cotton market has been rather irregular since the advance to 13.97c, for De- cember deliveries toward the end of
 last week. The continued bullish character of crop and domestic goods trade advices has encouraged buying on reactions. but offerings have shown & tendency to incrtase on ral- lies and a disposition to take profits or liquidate long contract has prob ably been stimulated by reports of an unsettled feeling in the stock mar ket. After selling off to 13.52e on Tuesday. December rallied 10 t4.s4c, but broke to 13.36c on Thursday with today's price ranging between 1S.55c and 13.7Sc. compared with l3.S5c at the close of the previous week. Part of the selling on advices has been at tributed to renewed nervousness or uncertainty regarding the effect on the early new crop movement. The recent hot weather has brought in many crop complaints from the southwest, but is also supposed to have hastened maturity, and receipts of new cotton Tn that section are in- creasing. Aside from this reports of increased hedge selling on the bulges created a feeling in some quarters that there Is considerable cotton for sale in the south around present price levels. and that bullish crop accounts have failed to create sufficient trade demand to absorb 1t rapidly enough to fully sustain advances. Trade adyices from Liverpool and Manchester have complained of a poor business, but Liverpool spot sales have been rum
 ming & little heavier than during the previous week, and some inquiry from Liverpool importers has been report ed from the southwest. According tp local freight brokers, ocean room for about 5000 bales of cotton have been booked for shipment within the next 10 days from Boston to Bremen and more business is pending, partly for shipment from New York. The ad
 vance in the basis Is said to have checked export buying in the south for far eastern account, but there have been good clearances to Japan and China during the past week. larger business has been reported in the domestic goods market, and some
 reports of increasing mill activity have reached here trom both New England and Carolina points. The weekly report of the weather bureau
 was considered less unfavorate than foreshadowed by recent daily advices.

HOW THE COOLIE SAVES HIS FACE From Singing Craftsmen of Peking

by Sam Dean. in Asia Magazine
 Chinese workmen would rather en- dure any amount of physical pain than to lose face. I made that dis covery through an experience we had with our gatekeeper soon after my arrival in China. We had dismiss him because he insisted on collect ing 10 per cent on some goods we had brought into the courtyard to bale for shipment to America. .sWhen came home one night. shortly aft trward, I found him mounted on the horse block in front of the gate haransuing several hundred listen- CTS. He told them how he had been cheated and discharged and then, frightening a loosely knotted cord that encircled his neck. he choked him self little before proceeding with his lecture. At last. with many shakings and waggins of his head. he went to the front door. tied ore end of the cord to the brass knocker and sank down till he was half stranded. Then he arose and ac- dressed the assembly till further. had seen enough I rushed into tLe house and told friend who had been in China longer than I what was gatekeeper a shake and said If YOU

I remem- Der another and more amusing case where the crowd laughed no less heartily at the expense of the for eiEner. He was a whale of an Ital- ian contractor. and he was in charGe of the rebuilding of the Peking south gate.

They held the ropes and. throwing their bodies backward and forward in time with a song they were singing, they raised and low cred the casting. Meanwhile. how ever, they were losing face with the crowd, for the Italian was laying on pretty vigorously with the cane, and so. to retrieve their honor, they began to sing with all their might: "Old foreign devil, old foreign devil Beat. beat him, beat him in the
