NEW ORLEANS, Aug. 22.—Cotton futures opened *steady at an advance of 1 to 5 points on continued drouth in the western cotton belt. Cables were much lower than due and a small failure was reported in the English market Both features were ignored. After the call the market stood 5 to 7 points up. Buying was good for both accounts. The posting of the weather forecast predicting cloudy weather for a large part of the western belt encouraged the hope that moisture was in sight. Bears increased their offerings of short cotton and holders of long cotton sold out on a large scale with the result that at the end of the first half hour of business prices were 8 to 9 points under yesterday’s close Toward the middle of the morning fresh re ports of crop deterioration in the west and claims that in some. counties of Texas aud Ok lahoma irreparable crop damage had been done stimulated buying. Shorts covered and large buy ing orders for long account tame in from interior points. The inquiry was met by very limited offerings and the decline of the early hours was quickly recovered and a net advance again es tablished. Late in the morning the trading months were 9 to 10 points over yesterday’s last quotations. Bulls again started profit taking and at noon prices were at a net rise of 3 to 4 points.

Manufactured by BAILEY BROS., Inc., WINSTON-SALEM N.C. weather report which was posted at noon for yesterday on the western belt, showing very high temperatures in Texas aud Oklahoma, with no rain. This started the buying and some 12 to 14 points rally followed quickly. It Is be lieved that the short interest has been reduced to a great extent on this advance. Some of the local weather experts are now predicting general rains in the next forty-eight hours which is bringing out some selling and profit taking. Should these rains occur, it is likely that we will get a setback. The bull leaders are con fident of their position and are predicting 12 cents for December in the very near future.— Anderson. HAYWARD & CLARK COTTON LETTER NEW ORLEANS, La., Aug. 21.—The weather map shows very favorable developments over night with cloudy weather and scattered show ers over the central and eastern states from where reports, expressing fear of damage by the dry weather, were beginning- to arrive.

Trading settled around 11.55' for October and the market is quieter. Visible supply changes tomorrow are expected to be bullish on account of the slow appearance of new cotton.

Saving and Investing GENTLEMAN ADVENTURER IN FINANCE BY JOHN V 0SK1S0S A fat man sat in a chair in a dim corner of his office in the Wall street district, and with only an occasional slap of his open hand on the table be side him and only ah occasional slow nod of his strongly pivoted head re vealed his plan to market the shares of a gold mine in which he had lately be come interested. He is supposed to be a broker—and he won’t turn away th$ visitors who want to invest money in standard stocks and bonds. He hands them over to other brokers who actually do business on the exchange. But it had occurred to him (so he told me) that it would be worth while to get some one in his office who could follow the investment market and ad vise ’his clientele of real bargains. What did I think of. the idea? I said, it is a fine idea; and then he went to outline his plan for building up, through a series of intelligent, well- written weekly letters, a feeling of con fidence in him and his office. Of course, he didn’t expect that sort of business to pay him; but later' on, when the prop erties in which he was especially inter ested were whipped info shape to be put on the market he would find a public waiting to accept his advice to come in und buy. What did I think of that idea? I didn't reply directly to the question. In stead, I rose and went to a map which hung on the wall and asked the fat man to tell me something about that gold mining property—marked very prettily in green and red. He got the point, and launched into a long defense of the fi nancial adventurer who takes a chance with his own money and who takes the money of others on the understanding that it is to go into speculative enter prises. You have probably heard the argu ments—where would we be today, as competitors in the mining and manufac turing field, had there been no men with money brave enough to risk it in ex ploring the mountains of the west or in developing the telephone? I had to agree that financial adven turers play a large and often indispen sable part in the development of the resources of a country. But I tried to point out to this fat man that what he was proposing to do was to train a body of real investors (who are prop erly neither speculators nor adventur ers) to follow him through the settled •ountry of investment finance, and then suddenly call upon'them to jump the fences and follow him over untried ground toward a sort of end-of-the- rainbow Pompano, per pound. 16c; Spanish mackerel, per pound, 12c; trout, drawn, per pound, 10c; bluefish, drawn, per pound. 6c; headless red snapper, per pound, 9c; mullet, barrel of 200 pounds net, $8.00; small snooks per pound 10c.

COTTON GOSSIP The Times-Democrnt says: Many reports of cotton crop deterioration came in from the west yesterday, and the bull party developed more steam than the cotton market has known in many a day. The Oklahoma crop is uudouDt- edly suffering severely. Regarding the Texas crop, there is a world of diverse ©pinion. Day after day the official forecast calls fer fair weather (md the official report reveal# a few light, widely scattered showers. Meanwhile private correspondents, day after day, report beneficial showers of a more or less general character, which the government fails to con firm. Thus the basis of the information bear ing on Texas is so badly mixed in the minds of the talent rs to color crop condition reports in both directions. Yesterday one reliable cor respondent wired, “Drouth not relieved, and it is now too late for rains to help much over a large area in Texas.’’ Other correspondents, with every show of confidence in their own in formation, asserted that most sections had re ceived some beneficial moisture; that over fruited plants had lost the excess only and had deteriorated no more than normally, and that the Texas crop promises to be as large as that of last year. But the constant reference to drouth damage in the advices reaching Europe has awakened some fear as to the size of the outturn, which, for the moment, at least, has overshadowed the scarcity of forward demand, the fact that the Clarke rider has not yet been killed, and the unfavorable reports coming from sooie of the foreign spinning centers. Texas sold some hedges in the local market, but they were readily absorbed, in spite of the reports from Galveston to the effect that ocean freight room is being relet. This reletting of freight room at the Texas port is explained as due to heavy engagements some time ago, aud to the small number of bales now showing up. Spot demand rather keen. The map shows cloudy in the central and eastern belt and the southern half of Texas; partly cloudy In the northern half and Okla homa. No rain shown by map in the west, but private reports show several showers. Scat tered showers iu the central aud eastern states. Indications are good for showery, cooler weather In Oklahoma, north Texas, aud Arkansas; unset tled iu the rest of the belt.—Kofler. Dallas wires; “Texas partly cloudy to clear; light rums in Jacksonville, Troupe, Palestine and Beaumont. Oklahoma, Halleyville, Wilbur- ton. HoldenviUe threatening; balance clear.” Forecast—Louisiana: Tonight and Friday in creasing cloudincKs; showers in the southeast portion tonight or Friday; light to moderate northeast winds on mh? coast. Arkansas and Oklahoma: Tonight and Friday im reading c!t tidiness. East Texas: Tonight nul Friday generally fair; light, variable -winds on the coasji. Very bad report on central, norm #nd west T hroughout the south there is very little atten tion paid to sheep and goats, but there are thousands of acres of land in Georgia, especial ly in the northern part of the state that is naturally well suited to the raising of goats especially, and this land is absolutely unfit for anything else. There are al ready quite a few people who are in a small way indulging in the goat business in north Georgia and they And it very profitable, especially where they have used Angoras to various crosses. Kid is sold and often used In the place of lamb and there is no reason why it should not be just as good, especially where it is fat. With the world of bushes and grasses that can be had on thousands of acres -of north Georgia oak and hickory land in the mountains thousands of poundls of sheep and goat flesh could be raised on these lands if we would pay attention to it. But, the word- “goat” seems insignificant and there Is a world of people who care to pay but lit tle attention to them. Goats are prolific breeders and will produce two to four young per year easily, and if these young ones are fat they will easily sell to the butcher at about $2 each. It requires so little feed for them that you can readily see what a big per cent of profit a flock of goats would make for you. Sheep at one time were bred very extensively in south Georgia and there is quite a number of flocks that are practically wild at present. Quite a few farmers of north Georgia have taken up the breeding of a better quality of sheep and are feeding and taking care of their herds with more interest than ever. It is well that they are doing so because a lamb this year certain ly has brought a fine price. » With the thousands of waste acres in north Georgia and in Florida that an immense amount of food could be produced on it does look like the people of these sections would convert these feeds into food through goats, sheep and even cattle. But, how few people are doing so. Cotton seems to be the only thing that attracts any attention nowadays from the farmer. It may he well and there might be a reason for It, but with the present price of food products of all kinds and people begging for them every day it does look like our people would take up the live stock industry even as a side issue and pay more attention to it than we ever have. There are worlds of cheap lands in the mountains and val leys of north Georgia that can be bought for almost a song that would grow the best of sheep and goats, and furnish plenty tender, sueculeift food for them during the entire year and at the end of the year he worth thousands of dollars when as it is now it is not worth a penny. The sals of wool, also clippings from Angora goats which sells for mohair, always commands a good price, and it really pays a good per cent of profit if you only realize the sale of wool and hair from sheep and goats to keep them, to say nothing of the offspring and what it would be worth. On account of the dogs a great many people have quit* keeping sheep, but in Tennessee, Kentucky and many of the states where people are compelled to convert their food products through live stock into money they do not neglect their sheep and goat industry any more than we do our cotton and corn industry. The truth has been that our farmers have made money too easy on the average Georgia farm out of cotton and have paid but little attention to anything else. This is one reason why packing house products and food products of all kinds are selling at such a tremendous,^ price today compared with what' they were a few years ago.

Douglas, Ga.: If it Is not asking too much of you, would thank you to give me the following information: I hape a very nice S. C. White Leg- hrn cockerel in shape and color, in fact is a very ne bird with the ex ception that he has white in his ear lobes. I bought the eggs that he was hatched from, from a breeder of high class poultry, and he stated that the eggs were fromfl the pens containing some of his very best males. Do you think it would be advisable to breed from him or would you discard him on that one defect? The white in the ear lobes extends a part of the way around the lobes, but does not run through them. I have been breeding this breed of birds a few years, but riever had any trouble in this respect before. Thanking you in advance for this information, I ai* T. G. ANSWER. Leghorns should have white ear lobes. It is possible that you mean the bird has some red in his ear lobes which is ofterf the case with Leghorns and especially with afie. Nearly all male birds, and femades after they pass one year old show more or less red in their lobes. When two male birds fight they usually injure the lobes so that the white enamel comes off and will leave it red, and I ex pect that is the case with your bird. Red in the lobe of a cockerel is con sidered a defect more, so than in a cock bird, and usually in a cockerel in scoring a bird a cut of one to one and a half is usually counted against red in the lobes of a cockerel, but a cock bird not so severe. If your bird is good In other respects I would not discard him cm account of this slight defect as it does not amount to very much. FALL FROM TRAIN FATAL TO BAILEY BLEASE WILL ATTEND E !

A demonstration was recently made in the suburbs of Lima, Peru, of an American traction engine. A specialt train was run to the field. About one hundred owners of estates in Peru, the minister of public works and develop ment, the director of irrigation and ag riculture, and other officials of the gov ernment as well as the principal offi cers of the American legation in Lima and the consulate general were present. The object of the demonstration was to place on record the facts relative to the possibilities of traction engines in Peru for cultivation of sugar estates and the great saving in cost as compar ed with present methods! The exhibition lasted the whole day, and the specta tors seemed well pleased with the deep plowing possibilities and the complete success of the machine in overturning the surface of an old field formerly pianted in cane and still covered with roots, which hitherto have always had to be burned out. Several British and other foreign ma chines have been imported into Peru, but this is the first American tractor of its kind known to have been used in the republic. ^ ASTHMA AND HAY FEVER Cured Before You Pay I want to cure every sufferer qi this dreadful disease.
