GRAHAM BELL,
TELEPHONE INVENTOR, DIES
NATIONAL ARMY To
ATTACK |RREGULARS

DUBLIN, Aug. 1.-(By the Asso-
ciated ress.)-The Irish National
army, according to indications here,
is ready for an attack on the ir-
regulars along the whole front.
The fall of Tipperary, which was
captured by the Nationalist forces
Sunday, disposes of an awkward
salient and is expected to enable the
Free State forces to advance on
Cashel. thus paving the way to a
further advance on Clonmel, reputed
irregular stronghold.
The insurgent forces have been
burning buildings in Kilmallock just
to the south of Limerick which is
thought to indicate they are pre-
pairing to evacuate the town. The
destruction of the Cleeves creamery
in Tipperary by the insurgents threw
AGO persons out of work.
The free state force lost only four
killed and three wounded in the cap.
ture of Tipperary. The casualties to
the irregulars are unknown.
The official statement describing
the occupation of the town says
that before the attack began the
irregulars blew up the water mains.
The irregulars had erected bar
ricades in the streets, but retired
from them as the government forces
approached.
In an attack on Golden, a vii
lage near Tipperary, Friday night,
two irregulars were killed and "a
made prisoner.
Kilrush and Kilkee, in county
Clare, have been occupied by the
Nationals.
The irregu1ars stationed at Kill
kee before the Nationals arrived
after setting fire to the police bar
racks and the customs stations.
Simon MacInerny, prominent
leader of the irregulars, was found
hidden in the Republican headquar-
tiers. Another insurgent leader
named Lillis was arrested on Ennis
road.

COTTON ADVANCES
So To So PER BALE
ON BUREAU REPORT
Crop Now Estimated at H.
100000 Bales - Acreage
Abandoned in Georgia 11.4
Per Cent-SpotS '22,75c
BY ESTES DOREMUS

Cotton prices on the New York
and New Orleans exchanges doomed
from $685. to $3.50 bale above the
previous close Tuesday morning
few minutes after the publication
of the report Of the United States
department of agriculture was is
sued showing the condition Of the
growing crop to be 70.S per cent OF
normal as of June 25, and estimat
ing the yield for 1929 to be H.
449, 900 bales against II ,065, 600 bales
on June rs, and 8,203,O00 bales a
year ago.
Private estimates placing the
yield at from 11,500,O00 to 10000
900 bales due to better weather con-
ditions during the last month, proved
to be badly out of line. as were con
dition reports, ranging from 72 TO
IA per cent. The government con,
dition report for June rs was 71.2.
and for July 25 year ago, 64,7.
In addition to the report on condi-
ton, the bureau issued a supple
mental report showing IL per cent
Of the total acreage abandoned 20
July 1, last, while the percentage
for Georgia was ia. The condition
of the crop in the state was fixed
at 81 per cent. Georgia led in dam
age from the boil weevil with from
40 to 60 per cent, while the smallest
amount Of damage reported from the
pest was IA per cent in North Caro-
lima. The damage to the Texas crop
from this source was 80 per cent.
The New York market opened at
a slight decline and showed only mar
row fluctuations Tor the first two
hours of trading, with values from
unchanged to ten points ne: higher.
The same condition obtained in New
Orleans. With the publication of
the report, however, which was de
cidedly bullish in the face of gen.
eral expectations of greater po-
tential yield, bulls jumped on the
band wagon and sent prices up to
the highest point since the recent
break while shorts, in a mad scram-
BILE to cover, added impetus to the
upward, swing. -.sr--.-, -.-,, -.
1t was apparent from the demand
for contracts, that the trade had
been fooled into loking for nearer
II, 900 900 bales than 100000 bales,
and the covering movement. coupled
with the drive of bulls was sufficient
to boost values to within striking dis
lance of the crest for the present
movement
The advance carried all active OPP
tons in New York we'll past the 22-
cent level with October at 22.53, De-
cember, $3.50; January, 22.35. and
March 22.2S. In New Orleans Oc-
tober touched $3.50.
Atlanta spots followed the advance
by jumping $3.50 bale to 22.75
cents.
The close in New York and New
Orleans showed a slight natural re-
cession from top figures, with Oc-
tober selling off about 81 a bale at
22.30. The net gain in New York
was from 106 to Ill points, and in
New Orleans from 106 to 10S points.
