COTTON MARKET
HOLDING STRONG
Some Selling On Private Condi.
ton Reports Fails To Break
Market

Despite general profit taking IN
the cotton market this week, follow
ing the remarkable recent rise, the
price continued today to hold strong
Strict middling spots were quoted at
20 IL cents in Americas, with the
demand good and little offered for
sale. Less than $50 bale had been
sold in Americas this week up to
this afternoon.
Private reports showing a higher
condition than has been estimated up
to this time were issued today, and
this brought about some selling on
the exchanges, but failed to break
the market perceptibly. Continued
rains throughout the cotton belt are
giving substantial support to the
bull control of the markete at this
time.
]. w. Jay & Co., New York brok-
! ers, in new bulletin says:
There are two major factors oper-
ating to maintain the present price
of cotton and to establish higher
prices as the season progresses. The
one is the unsatisfied deferred de-
mand for the remnant of past crops,
and the other, weather perils and
boil weevil menace to the new crop

the last two months, students of the
cotton situation have been perplexed
by reason of the indifference of con-

CRO-MAGNONS.

Hooton, Harvard anthropologist,
says; "The Cro-Magnon people, who
dominated the world about 10000 to
5000 b. c., were perhaps one Of the
finest races the world has ever
seen, deeply religious, artistic and
greatly superior in brain capacity to
the modern Europeans.
"Their tribal development and
labor distribution were quite com
pick, and their commerce extended
from the Baltic to the Mediterranean
and from Germany and Austria to
England and France"
1t will surprise many, that science
has piecod out human history as far
back as $4,000 years. The dusty
books in Libraries are fascinating,

not.

tions have a considerable measure Of
prosperity and the satisfaction of
their simple wants is potential eco
nomic force. Reserves of raw cot
ton and its products have gradually
been reduced, as these wants have
been supplied, until now we are on
the verge of actual exhaustion.
cat no time since the Civil War
have the worlds cotton resources
been so uncertain, and the immediate
future promises little relief from
anxiety. The American cotton crop
this year is seriously imperiled. 1t
now seems evident that the area
planted is not likely to exceed great
" the area planted last year. The
weather in the West has so far been
deplorable. In the East the boil
weevil are SO numerous that they are
already destroying part of the crop
by feeding upon tender leaves of
sprouting plants. In three states
only, Arkansas, Mississippi and North
Carolina, are crop conditions reas-
onably normal. The only prospect
for moderate yield lies in perfect
growing weather henceforth. If
such weather be not vouchsafed, an
other crop failure in the United
States confronts the cotton industry.
In view of the worlds now steadily
increasing need for American cot
ton, the situation produced by such
crop failure would be economically
disastrous"

that man is descended should say,

Man and the ape are distant cousins.
not father and son by any means.
They have a common ancestor"
To some extent, that should pacify
Bryan. But he will start up again
when he hears that HOoten adds:
Monkeys branched off from the
common stem of the human family
many years ago. In fact, the esti-
mate Of the Gibbons and the
Siamang's origin places him at
100000 years ago"
Bryan believes everything began
about 5000 years ago.
