Cotton Futures Hold
To Narrower Rance
Than Usual
New York Quotations
Rule 6 Points Higher
To6 Lower
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Aug. 2l-Cotton
futures contracts held within a
narrower price range than usual last
week.
On the New York Cotton Ex-
change prices ended 6 points net
higher to 6 lower.
Trading in old-type contracts was
OF very moderate proportions. and
IN the new-type contracts the turn
over was very small.
The smallness of the interest IN
peW-type contracts was attributed
chiefly to the fact that most of the
outstanding commitments are in
olo-type contracts, and many people
are not yet accustomed to the new
type contracts. The chief differ
ence between the old-type and the
neW-type contracts is that on the
former the basic quality is mid.
ollng seven-eights-inch cotton.
while on the latter it is middling
f1fteen-sixteenths-inch.
Buying interest was held in check
during the week by the increasing
movement of the new crop, CARVING
lhe prospect of larger offerings of
contracts for hedging, and by appre-
nenslons over the European situa-
tlon, which was reflected in de-
cllnes IN the security markets.
A sustaining influence during the
week was found in extremely heavy
rainfall in Alabama and various ad.
joining States, which traders said
might have done some damage to
the crop in those areas.
A major trade development was
the announcement that the Conn
modify Credit Corp. had taken title
TO the 1884 loan cotton and on
September l will take title to the
1887 loan cotton. In addition. the
corporation will extend the 1899
loan notes to July 81, 1910.
another important DEVELOPMENT
during the week was the announce
ment by the Department of Apri-
culture that during the first two
weeks in August 100000 bales were
elther sold or shipped for export
unoer the subsidy program. This
total was somewhat larger than
mad been expected in various trade
quarters.
domestic cotton mills are contin-
ulng TO run at very high rate, and
IL is reported that they have bought
neW-crop cotton freely. Domestic
consumption of American cotton
iast season was in excess Of 6 6.7O0,-
ooO bales. which was substantially
above average.
Al the present time mills are
consuming cotton at an annua. rate
OF about 10000 bales.

BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Aug 21.-Losses of
major fractions to 3 points, and in
some cases much more, predomi-
mated in the bond market today.
There was no one development
responsible for the steady stream of
selling orders, brokers said, but
rather a general collection of dis
turbing events in Europe which
tended to frighten buyers away.
Toward the final hour Govern
ment bonds were 3-32 to 1892 of a
point lower but trading was light.
Prominent on the decline were
obligations of New York Central,
Republic Steel, Southern Pacific,
Southern Railway, Allegheny Corp.
and International Hydroelectric.
The foreign dollar group was fea-
tured by more than usual activity
in the Scandinavian section. where
Denmark 515s, Belgium Is and

WILMINGTON, Del, Aug. 21.-
Directors of E. I. Dupont de Ne
mours & Co. voted today to call
a special meeting of stockholders
to act upon an amendment to the
certificate of incorporation by which
the $3.50 cumulative preferred stock
would be increased to 5000, 900
shares from 100000 and debenture

ing it for preferred.

to $l20 a share, plus accumulated
dividends to the date of redemption.

A substantial reduction will be ef-
tected in total dividends payable

DO YOUR BUYING AT HOME

The standard of living in a given COM
munity depends upon the volume of bust
ness done, it is true, but it also depends
upon the distribution of income as we'll.
There are other factors involved but
we started out to call attention to- the pre-
diction that Christmas trading this year is
expected to be at least ten per cent higher
than last year. *sa
Assuming that business in Key Vest
will be ten per cent higher it is to be ex-
pected that this will improve the standard
of living of the individuals who depend
upon local business for their incomes.
This means that if local. buyers will trade
at home they will inevitably have part in
improving the standard of living for local
families.
You may not be interested in the eco
nomic welfare of some of your fellow cltl-
zens until you realize that as they prosper
you may expect to prosper. The welfare
of local merchants affects other people, in
Guiding employees and everybody who ex-
poets to sell anything, either in the way OF
service or goods.
We do not urge local buyers to trade
at home at exorbitant prices. Merchants
in Key West, who expect your business,
expect to meet competition. They must if
they stay in business. Give them the OPP
portunity to serve your needs and, if they
cannot do so, that is their fault, not yours.
