DEALS IN COTTON
FOR Week VARYING
Early Active Buying Due to
Drought Followed by Substantial
Reactionary Movement.
By the Associated Press.

By the AssOclated PFess.
NEW YORK, August i0.-The con-
tinuation of the drought in the
southwest led to an active buying
movement in the cotton market al
the beginning of the week. 1t was
evidently apprehended that the low
end July Condition figures would be
followed by a serious reduction in
crop estimated during the present
month, and for time the market
was strong and excited. A broaden
ing of commission house demand was
reported as well as active covering
by shorts, but the buying tapered off
just above the 24-cent level for Octo-
ber and December contracts, or at
prices representing recovery OF
about 80. cents a pound as compared
with the low levels touched later
last month.
Rather substantial reactions follow
ed under realizing or liquidation in
advance of the Friday adjournment.
and there was probably some selling 9
on reports of scattered showers in
Texas and Oklahoma. On the whole.
however. the precipitation reported
was light, and private crop advices
from both eastern and western belt
sections indicated continued deteri-
Grafton. One of the private mfdmonth
reports was issued Thursday, indie at
ing a condition OF 66.1, COMPARED with
70.3 toward the end of last month,
and pointing TO deterioration Of
about 3 points in the condition of
Texas. This tended to confirm the
news reaching the trade from scat
teriuE sources concerning Texas crop
conditions. and some Of the priva te
reports claimed that it was getting
to be too late for rains to do 1nucE
good.
Buying on the bullish character of
the crop news was probably held in
check by complaints of a continued
poor trade at Manchester and un-
favorable central European condi-
tions, but there were reports of a
little more demand for early new
crop shipments from the southwest.
Rather ID more active demand for
cotton goods was reported in the do
mestic markets toward the end of
the week, but nothing was heard of
any increase in mills activity. and
Judging from current comment, some
members Of the cotton trade here are
still doubtful as to the absorption

ter are expected 10 be heavy, az the
maturity of early cotton in the south

Many Americans in Canada.

Z. l.. Chicanot, in the Current History Magazine.
Few people would credit the extent
to which the American people have
come to permeate the Canadian Do
minion. especially the western prov
inces, in recent years. In the year
1871, when the first census of the
newly federated Dominion was taken.
Canada was found to have popula
tion of 3.4S5.761, and of these 24.162
recorded their birthplace as the
United States. This was equivalent
to not quite seven-tenths of l per
cent of the total population. At the
time of the 1901 census there We're
l27ss9 citizens of American birth in
Canada. In that of 1911 there were
303,6 $50. representing Al per cent of
the total population at the time.
From 1911 to 1921 a total Of 74S.11S
citizens Of the United States entered
Canada. so that at the present time
there. are we'll over 100000 people
in Canada who have been citizens of
the United States, or something like
IL per cent of the total Dominion
population.

Although the 1929 British expedi-

principal aim, which was to reach the
top of the highest mountain in the
world, 1t did succeed in finding Ger
tain brave little plants such as edel-
