COTTON MARKETS.

. NEW YORK, August Reports of
scattering showers in Texas COM
bined with continued nervousness
over European conditions and the un-
settled ruling of foreign exchange led to
further liquidation in the cotton market
at the opening today. First prices were
barely steady at a decline of 9 to Is
points, and the market soon sold off
to 2078 for December, or about "a
points net lower. The south was a
considerable seller here and there
was probably some scattered selling
in anticipation that an increasing
movement of new crop cotton from
now on would be likely to make in
creased pressure of hedges.
Futures opened steady; October,

NEW ORLEANS. August 7.-Pri-
vate reports of a great deal of raj
in the droughty area in west Texas,

were depressed by it to the extent of
81 to 43 points. October dropped of
to 1920.

Real Activity, However, Not Ex.

The opening of the Week brought
signs of a quickening in business, but
real activity is not expected until
the restraining influence of the tariff
and strikes are removed. If prices
remain at or near their present level,

fair, which opened today and extends
for three weeks, while largely a re-
tail proposition, is bound to draw
many buyers interested in the pri-
mary markets.
Despite anxiety about raw silk,
both from the standpoint of price and
quality, there is a good deal of trad
ing in silk fabrics, with little change
in prices. The fall silks are moving

ACCOUNTING FOR BLACK GARB
Simple Reason Why Girls in Railroad
Refreshment Room All Were
Robed in Somber Colors.

The train was late, even later than
is usual on this particular line, and
as they crawled through one station
a weary traveller was heard to ex'
claim:
"What a villainous station this is
They try to irritate one on purpose
Look at those girls In the refreshment
room! Why do they dress them all in
black?
Don't you know" said the fellow
passenger in a most solemn tone OF
voice, and with look Of awe on his
face.
"No," replied the curious and fretfu
traveller.
"Why," said the other, because
they are in mourning for the late
trains"

Don't Kill Bullsnakes.

Kansas farmers find that bull
snake in an alfalfa field is worth at
least $3.50 a month, says the Scien-
tific American, for an acre harbors,
on an average, six gophers, which
damage the crop to that extent. One
adult bullsnake keeps an acre free of
the pests. The bullsnake is harmless,
feeds also on rats and mice around
barn or granary, and deserves the pro-
lection of the farmer.
