MONDAY, JULY 6.
IN NEW ORLEANS
SPOTS WERE
VERY QUIET
NEW ORLEANS—The spot market
was very quiet today and just a little
heavy- The Southern and Eastern mills
have been buying rather freely of late
and are fairly well stocked up to carry
over the summer period so that they arc
now taking note of the heavy discounts
on fall months and temporarily re
maining out of the market. There is
some looking around, Inn buyers are not
burdened with orders and take hold, as
a rule, merely to fill out incomplete
lines, and then only when concessions
in their favor are procurable. Factors
are rather disposed to press sales of dis
cretionary lists, but the stocks now in
hand are light, and include a consider
able percentage of shelf cotton, so that
the local market is by no means n bar
gain cot fi ter.
The contract department was quiet
during the first half of the day, with a
slight downward tendency, the result
largely of excclent crop prospects. On
the opening, prices were hi even figures
on August, but four points off on all oth
er positions, and thereafter, to the sec
ond call, ihere was a gradual decline. In
terrupted by occasional fluctuations of
a point or two, that fixed the midday
record at net losses of 7 to 8 point** on
the old and 10 to .11 points on the new
crop months.

STOCKS STRQUG IN
WALL STREET
todw
(BV T. C. SHOTWELL.)
NEW YORK - Stocks were more ac
tive and very strong In Wall street this
morning. In ihe first half hour, ad
vances were made averaging about a
point in the leaders. Smelters gained
Iwo points and for a few minutes was
the leader of the market. The rise was
taid to be due to the possible change In
the presidency of the company. An
nouncement that the Baltimore and Ohio
had been able to sell another issue of
tiie bonds caused an advance of three
quarters of a point in the stock of that
company. Union Pacific rose one point
on light trading and was followed by
Southern Pacific with an advance of the
same amount.
Illinois Central rose a point and Ca
nadian Pacific one and a half points. Re
ports that considerable repair work had
received by the American Locomotive
company caused stock of that concern
to rise three quarters or a point. Tho
fact that most of the railroads have ex
hausted their stocks of material and
will be compelled to purchase immedi
ately more rails and other equipment
caused strength in the steel trust shares,
preferred rising to 103 7-8, a new r high
price for this movement.
A further decrease in tho number of
idle freight ears was announced amount
lng to about 35,000.
In London nearly all changes were ad
vances in the Americans.
Wheat was up from 1-2 to 3-4 c a bus
hel in Chicago and corn rose a cent.
Cotton was slightly easier
Railroad reports published continued to
show losses in gross and net.
On the curb business was very dull
with no material changes in prices.
Strength of the general market to
day was due almost entirely to the be
lief that Bryan will be nominated
Denver and Wall street has made up its
mind that this means the certainty at
Taft’s election.

a year or two between the families of

CHAT AND CHATTER.
rpHICRE 18 A LOT of nonsense in
J- the so-called "big paper" Sundu\ J
npgazines. There, generally is and
yesterday was no exception. A great I
deal of stuff was printed in them j
that was not worth reading, and!
some of it was even more banal than
that. But to many of ns there was
one st.orj that stood out pre-eminent
—the one in the World that told of
the charily of the tour famous,clowns,
the Brother Fratelllni.
These acrobats and mimes are en
gaged in visiting) tthe hospitals of
London devoted to the care of chil
dren. Here they cut up their mer
riest pranks, do their most vigorous
somersaults, crack their best jokes, |
just to make the sick children laugh'
—that, is all; they cure the little ones 1
simply by making them laugh, for
the physicians say that laughter hast
ens convalescence, and welcome the
clowns in their periodic visits.
That seems to the writer to he the
“one best" human interest “history" j
in the big Sunday magazine sections. I
Here are four men devoting their j
spare time to charity. They are not
wealthy and cannot like (he rich men
of Augusta, for instance, Keep up a!
milk and ice fund, and they have but j
one paramount excelence. For years i
they have devoted the energies and
abilities the Lord has given ihem to
making a livelihood by causing laugh
ter, and now that success has crown
ed their efforts they lake their one
talent —their unity real excellence—
and devote it to tho noblest eauso 1
know—bringing smiles to tho lips of
suffering childhood.
Think of it; a. child's laugh—tho
divines! sound of earth, the combined
melody of purling brooks and
pressed happiness and the stuurrin
ot myriad bees—the rippling move
ment of strung pearls on gold wire
tho echoed cachlnnation of nhoru
him. Not all the combined harmony
of Gounod, and Chopin and Beethov
en and the others of earth's sweet
est melodists—not. even the voice of
it ho Tretrazzlnl herself is half so
sweet. And the men who are evoking
this audible sunshine in the sad
depths of the hospitals are doing a
work so noble, so gently sweet, that
we can only think its value, not ex
press it. it’s worth being a clown to
be able to do what the Frateilinl ate
accomplishing.
Q PEAKING OF CHILDREN recalls
that this is Herald day at the
Cameraphone. The Herald has been
for several days printing a coupon
that clipped out and presented at
thr- door of tho Grand today or to
night, will entitle any child under
fourteen years of age to free admis
sion to view (he wonders of tills lat
est. addition to the amusement de
vices of the world There Is no child
in the eity that should not take ad
vantage of tills opportunity. The
Cameraphone is a great invention.
qOMF, ONE HAS SAID that it is
O not so much what you say as how
you nay it. Which, in view of a
headline in Sunday's Herald msy be
paraphrased to read: "It Is not so
much what you write, as how the
type iR set." Tho headline was writ
ten :
