California Street Vender
Stays With "BuSineSs"
Despite Rich Holdings,
Says Life Depends on It
BY JACK JUNGMEYER

SUNLAND, Cal, July 12.-Charles
Horton probably is the oldest and
richest peanut vender in America.
He is SO. He owns property worth
considerably more than half a mil
lion dollars.
His holdings include a 12-acre
orange ranch and several dwellings
in this prosperous little California
valley, and the Horton building, in
Chamber street, near the city hall
in New York
A retired member of the New
York fire department., he has been
drawing a substantial pension for
years. And from the government
he gets $72 monthly, for. he served
with the Twenty-fOurth New York
Independent Battery during the Civil
war. But that is money he says be
hasn't touched in 40 years.
Yet he sells peanuts, from a bas-
ket, as earnestly as though his very
life depended upon it. He says it
does, indeed, although his well pre-
served, energetic person hints still
a span of years.

Il know it's the fashion nova

Eye for Business
INV children don't like what I'm
doing. They think I ought to re-.
tire. Say it isn't dignified for me
to peddle peanuts.
There are four of them; a son
in the auto business in Brooklyn
and three daughters, two of them
widows. Fine children, but they
don't understand my need to be
busy
Folks seem to think it's just as
queer for an old man not to retire

for a young fellow to loaf before

COTTON

NEW YORK, July 1.-THE cotton
market opened firm today at an ad-
vance of Is to 26 points. Continual
ton of yesterdays buying was ell
coura ged by relatively steady cables,
better reports from the cotton goods
market and continued nervousness
over new crop progress. A good deal
of realizing was absorbed on slight
setbacks, the early market selling
up to 1880 for July and 26.12 for
October or to 40 points net higher.
Private cables said the advance in
Liverpool was due to covering and
buying of new crop months by inn
porters on less favorable crop re-
ports. Three private crop repots
published here showed condition fig
ures ranging from 70.S to ia with
indicated yield figures ranging from
1928 900 to u ,440, 900.
Realizing became more active after
the publication of the eastern belt
forecast which pointed to further
showers in Alabama, but generally
fair weather in Georgia and the Caro-
linas. Reports from the southwest
asserted that the Texas crop was not
yet suffering from drought. Prices
eased off to 3065 for July and 25.S3
for October. The midday market
was quiet and about steady at
net advances of II to 80 points.
Reports of continued heat with
even higher temperatures in the
southwest started a renewal of COW
ering after midday. July shorts
found it difficult to secure contracts
and the price shot up to 31.45, or
1O5 points net higher on COMPARE
lively few transactions. New crop
months we're active and strong, sell
ing Is to IS points net higher, Octo-
Der ruling around 1861 at 2 o'clock.

NEW ORLEANS COTTON


NEW ORLEANS, July 1.-THE
cotton market opened higher owing
to much better cables than due, first
trades showing gains of " 20
points on new crop months. Prices
advanced further right after the
opening call on good buying, October
trading up to 1924 and December to
2504 or 27 to % points above the
previous close. The stimulating in
fluence was reports of further rains
in the eastern belt and continued
high temperatures generally. The
market reacted about s to 10 points
later on realizing induced by two
private condition reports, both MAX
ing the average ia and the indi-
Gated crop 12,400, 900 bales.
The market turned easier after the
posting OF the weather report show
, ing practiclly no rains in the eastern
belt. October traded down to 24.92
and December 24.77, or 27 to 80 points
down from the early highs. Later in
In the morning a report from Okla
homa showing that the maximum
temperatures at 25 out Of % stations
In that state ranged from 100 to 1906
started a sharp rally with rather
heavy trading. The advance was ac-
CELEBRATED by the jump of nearly 100
points in the July position in New
York, where the shorts were being
squeezed. This gain in the spot
month carried the new crop months
UP in sympathy. October near mid
session traded up to $3.50 and Deem
Der to 25.40, or 63 to 81 points up
from the lows of the morning. A
well-known Texas authority issued a
condition report showing an average
of 70S.
The market continued to advance
during the noon hour mainly on the
high temperatures in the west. July
which had been inactive all morning
suddenly advanced to 2S10 on a few
trades showing a gain over the pre-
vious close of 70 points. October
traded up to 25.77 and December to
1888, new highs and 81 to IS points
over the lows of the morning. Twen-
ty-three Texas stations out of SO,
reported maximum temperatures of
100 to 104. In the early afternoon
the market eased off to about 20
points on realizing.

The second game was a thriller also,
from beginning to end, which was .
pitchers' duel between Lefty Allison and
Woods although, due TO poor support,
Woods lost in the finals. Fisher, Ray
and Rasland, Cullman inflelders, de-
serve mention, as they fielded the ball
In every way, form and fashion. San
derson, fielder Of Walker, at four trips
to bat got four clean singles.
