Realizing was heavy enough to cause reac
tions of 5 or 6 points from the best during the
middle of the morning, and trading became a
little less active, but bullish private crop re

NEW ORLEANS COTTON
NEW ORLEANS, Aug. 25.—Cotton futures
opened very steady at an advance of IS to 21
Points on good cables and c. dry weather map.
Accounts from the west over Sunday were not
encouraging and led to the belief that deteriora
tion of the crop had continued. Private bureaus
came out with condition figures, showing a loss
for the month *of about 10 points. This showing
resulted in much buyings for both accounts.
Longs were heavy sellers to realize profits, but
their offerings were well received, and at the
cud of the first half hour of business prices
were 20 to 24 points over Saturday’s close.
The market received several setbacks during
the morning because of realizing operations on
the long side, but the tone held steady and
the market displayed good recuperative power,
late In the morning standing well tip toward
the 12c level on the new crop months. Re
port a f.-ora the west were discouraging, and led
to small estimates of the crops of Texas aud
Oklahoma. Bulls pointed out that, with all
the open cotton in the fields, receipts were not
large. At the highest of the mornlug the lead-
ins months were 25 to 27 points over Satur
day’s close. At noon they wera 22 to 23 points
over.

HAYWARD & CLARK’S COTTON LETTER.
NEW ORLEANS, La., Aug, 2.—There were
only a few light scattered showers in Texas
over Sunday, but cool weather prevailed over
nearly the entire belt, with no excess in tem
peratures anywhere. Indications are for in
creasing cloudiness and some showers in the
western -states and Qulf districts, part cloudy
j to fair elsewhe're with normal temperatures
I Conditions are making for further and more
j general precipitation in the west this week.
Liverpool showed as much as ten points ad-
; y ance on futures at the. opening of our market
! against 11 higher due. Spots 12 higher, sales
i 5,000. First trades here were at advance of
' about 16 points; selling restricted by Intim
idating crop reports; expectation of a bullish
weekly report tomorrow. Low private condition
forecasts due this week, and the opinion that
the coming bureau will show a decline up to 10
points in the average condition of the belt.
The demand for contracts was steady enough
to hold the advance. Detailed government rec
ords show scattered showers over Sunday in
Texas with nearly half an inch at Alice, Bren-
ham, Houston, Riverside nu ( ] Pierce, the largest
amounts given, but showing showery conditions
over the state.
NEW YORK COTTON LETTER
NEW YORK. Aug. 25.—The strong cables
this morning from Liverpool brought out a
general* wave of short covering and buying by
belated bulls, profit taking by longs was ap
parently* the principal selling. There is con
siderable talk today of a reaetion being In
order, and some of the bull forces I under
stand are advising friends to take profits. The
market has taken the selling well, and among
the best buyers were apparently the spot in
terests. It Is very natural to expect con
siderable liquidation after a hundred points
advance in so short a time, but this would nat
urally leave the market in a more healthy con
dition. The weather from now on will not be
considered so seriously as it has been, but
the amount of damage' already sustained is
the question to be reckoned with.—Anderson.

merce Monthly condition summary Indicates de
terioration in Alabama Mississippi and Louis
iana.
Weevil in Louisiana and Mississippi are doing
considerable damuge. Some shedding. Culti
vation good. Too much rain in some sections,
too little In others. Alabama crop very spotted;
condition slightly lower than las^ month's 79.2,
but nbove last year’s 74 per cent. Mississippi
condition will be considerably better than last
year, when It was 71.3, but somewhat lower
than last month’s GO. Louisiana condition will
be several points below last month, when it
was 78.7.
Alabama: On account of late June planting,
cotton is very spotted, aud fear is entertained
that June cotton will suffer considerable de
terioration. home sections have sufficient rain
fall and their prospects are bright for a full
crop. But the major part of the state is need
ing rain badly. Cotton Is shedding and opening
prematurely, and plck’ng has begun In some
sections. Cultivation has been excellent and,
with the exception of boil weevil, the crop is
fro*> from insect damage. As a result of heat
and drouth, condition is slightly lower than a
month ago, when it was 79.2, but better than
last year, when it was 74.
Mississippi: Barring gthe very general prev
alence of the boll weevil, the condition is very
good. Farmers are fighting the pest vigorously,
with good results. The plant is of good size,
well cultivated and fruitage good. Many sec
tions are beginning to feel The need of rain,
and shedding is becoming general, owing to hot,
dry winds. Bolls are opening freely and pick
ing will be general in September. Percentage
condition is considerably better than a year ago
at this time when it was 71.3, but somewhat
lower than last month, when it was 80.
Louisiana: The presence of the boll weevil
is practically universal, and they have been the
cause.of material deterioration. Excessive rains
in many sections have favored their depreda
tions. Shedding is also general, but not more
than normal for this time of the year. Culti
vation remains good, and there is little com
plaint of scarcity of labor. Drouth and high
temperature have affected some localities, and
picking will be fairly general by September 1.
Partial returns on percentage condition Indicates
several points below last month, when it was
78.7.

Anthony N. Brady.
Ef JOHN U CSK1SOW
Brady, Whitney, Widener and Elkins
—here were four famous names of that
period of our public service corporation
history when it was discovered that
great fortunes were to be inade by buy
ing- scattered and independent proper
ties, consolidating them under one man
agement and one name, and then induc
ing the public to buy the huge blocks
of securities created after the combi-
ation.
Half a dozen street railway systems
—New York’s and Philadelphia’s^among
them—were put together by this group
of enterprising men, later to fall apart
with tremendous losses. But the losses
fell upon the many holders of the
bonds and stocks, not upon the enter
prising men who had put them out.
Brady, however, stayed with the
game through the period of bankruptcy,
and in the last ten years he had work
ed hard to put some of the old exploit
ed street railway companies and some
of the gas and electric lighting compa
nies on their feet as real money earn
ers. The present Brooklyn Rapid Trans
it company, with fine equipment and a
steadily rising curve of earnings, stands
as a striking instance of the power of
Brady in constructive work.
Brady was all business. He never
went to school after he was thirteen;
at nineteen he was proprietor of a tea
store in Albany, N. Y., and before he
quit tea he controlled^ the trade in Al
bany and Troy. Then came an expe
rience as a gatherer-up of gigantic quar
ries; from that line he switched to the
control of the gas business in Albany
and Troy. Some said that when he
died he left $50,000,000; and his name
had to be erased from the directorate
of more than forty corporations, many
of them, like the Brooklyn street rail
way system, the Westinghouse company,
tlie American Tobacco company, and the
United States Aubber company among
the biggest in the land.
He was one of the close-mouthed
millionaire financiers—one of the last
survivors of that type among promo
ters of public service companies.

peal says: The condition of the cotton crop
is estimated to be 69.C of normal, an even
10 points loss from the government’s figures
of July 25. The figures rtren here are based
on an average date of Aughst 22. Deteriora
tion bas been heaviest west of the river, where
the long drouth continues unbroken and is mak
ing itself felt on the crop. The conditions
probably have never been worse in Oklahoma
and iu .Texas. The losses have been very
severe, the plant is withering and Is shedding
heavily, and young bolls are opening prema
turely. In Alabama 1he grade of cotton
brought to market is said to be rather poor.
Hot, dry weather prevailed over most of the
eastern belt during the last fortnight, with
a resultant deterioration in Tennessee, Mis
sissippi and Alabama. The loss in Mississippi
and Louisiana was greatly augmented by boll
weevil, the second hatching of whi£h is in
fecting the fields and doing much damage. In
Georgia and Alabama the plant about held
its owu during the month and prospects still
are bright In these states for a splendid
crop
In many places in the west It Is contended
that rains will not be of benefit should they
fall soon, but In most sections correspondents
are of the opinion that good rains would
greatly add to the yield. The extremely hot
weather and the very dry soil tended to mini
mize the benefit accruing from tbe recent scat
tered showers iu Texas. Owing to tlio dry hot
weather cotton is opening fast nnd picking
promises soou to become general. Farmers
are placing the lint on tbe market as soon as
ginned. Labor, generally speaking, is ample.

CONSTANTINOPLE. Aug. 25.—The
United States embassy here has dis
patched Lewis Heck, acting vice consul,
to open an Inquiry into circumstances
attending the murder last week of Dr.
Charles H. Holbrook, an American mis
sionary at Soushehio, Asiatic Turkey.
According to the official reports, Dr.
Holbrook, who was a native of Lynn,
Mass., was sleeping in the garden sur
rounding the house of an Armenian, who
had been paying attentions to some
Turkish women. Two Turks determined
to punish the Armenian, forced their
way into the garden, and shot the sleep
ing Dr. Holbrook in mistake for the
owner of the house.
This version of the affair is discredited
by private advices to the Bible House,
which indicate that the killing was a
deliberate one.
The slayers have been arrested and
are awaiting trial.

Fiv3 Hens Pass the 200 Egg Mark in Eight and One-half Months—Two
Hens Ahead of Lady Showyou’s Record of Last Lear—Is the Hot
test Month Experienced in Many Years—The Extreme Heat is Cut
ting the Egg Yield and Causing the Hens to MoR Earlier Than
Usual—Some Interesting Results of the Contest and the Feeding
Test.
While five hens have passed the 200 egg mark in eight and a half
months and two of them have thus far surpassed the record of Lady
Showyou for last year, the extreme heat for the etitire month has been
telling on the hens, causing them to moult earlier than usual and cut
ting the egg yield. The thermometer registered as high as 105 degrees
In the contest houses at 4 o'clock in the afternoon, of one day, a time
of day when it usually begins to get cooler. In some other styles of
houses it registered as high as 109 and 110 degrees. You can Imagine
how a hen must sutler when confined In a trap nest bn a day like this,
even if kept there only long enough to lay. We are surprised that they
have done as well as they have. This continued extreme hot weather
is unusual for this section. Hens suffer as much from hot weather in
summer as from cold weather in winter.
The total number of eggs laid for the eight and one-half- months
amounts to 80,073 eggs. This makes an average of 118 eggs for each
hen, good, bad and indifferent. The yield for the month was 9,687 eggs.
The average for each breed up to date Is as follows:
30 Langshan hens average '.....132 eggs each
30 Minorca hens average 124 eggs each
30 Ancona hens average ' 122 eggs each
120 Leghorn hens average H9 eggs each
120 Wyandotte hens average 117 eggs each
GO R. I. Red hens average .... Ill eggs each
90 Orpington hens average HO eggs each
120 Plynlouth Rock hens average ...106 eggs each
There Is nothing startling about these records, but we think this
a very good record. It Is not the sensational which we are looking for
in this contest, it’s the facts, let the records be what they may. If the
hens did no better and did not lay another egg, the lowest average hen
has already laid twenty-six eggs more in eight and a half months than
the average Missouri farm hen lays in twelve months.
The silver cup for the best record for July was won by Mrs. Daisy
Rose, of Bois D’Arc, Mo., on her pen of Anconas with 210 eggs. The
It. C. White Leghorns, pen 10, were only one egg behind them. The
remarkable thing about tne records for the last few months Is the man
ner in which a pen of Black Minorca hens is laying. Half or more of
the hens are about three years .old, and they have gradually crawled up
to fourth place. Buff Wyandotte? also went to third place this month.
One pen of Buff Wyandottes from Vermont contains the leading heu,
and the third pen of Buff Wyandottes from Missouri contains the third
highest individual in the contest. Only seven hens laid in the English
pen of S. C. White Leghorns and one died, but still they made a small
gain over the other pens. | *
The ten highest pen records for eight and a half months are as
follows:
Pen 2, S'. C. White Leghorns, England...... 1,686 eggs
Pen 19, Silver Wyandottes, Iowa. 1,418 eggs

THE FEEDING TEST, PEN No. 08. J
For the purpose of determining something about the likes and dis
likes of hens, a pen of ten hens, composed of five S. O. White Leghorns
and five Buff Orpingtons, were placed in a house and yard at the Mis
souri State Poultry Experiment Station at Mountain Grove the fifteenth
day of last November, and have had thirty different kinds of the most
staple foods obtainable in our state placed before them in open hop
pers where they might take their choice and help themselves. For the
first eight and a half months, the results have been as follows: They
have eaten— >
Grains—102 pounds wheat, 77 pounds corn, 72 pounds millet,
42 pounds sunflower seed, 41 pounds kaffir corn, 29 pounds hulled oats,
23 pounds oats, 17 pounds cane seed, 8 pounds buckwheat, 5 pounds
cowpeas, 4 pounds rye, 4 pounds barley, 2 pounds rice.
Meat Food—324 pounds butermilk, 2 pounds dry beef scrap, 2
pounds fish scrap.
Mill Produces—35 pounds rolled oats, 22 pounds ground oats, 14
pounds corn meal, 13 pounds shorts or middlings. 6 pounds gluten
meal, 6 pounds bran, 2 poundi flour, 1 poun ' O. P. oil meal.
Grit—20 pounds oyster shell, 5 pounds grit, 2 pounds charcoal, 2
pounds hard coal ashes. ,
Green Food—1 pound alfalfa meal.
Water, 435 pounds.
Summary of results for 8 1-2 months: 559 pounds feed consumed.
759 pounds water and milK, 144 pounds eggs laid, 1,444 eggs laid
It will be seen from the above that these hens ate more wheat
than any other one food. They ate principally wheat, corn, millet,
sunhower seed, kaffir corn, and oats. They ate four times as much
ground and rolled oats as they did corn meal. They consumed but very
little bran. They used four times as much oyster shell as grit. In
animal or meat food they only ate two pounds each of beef scraps and
fish scraps, and drank 324 pounds of buttermilk. They were out of
buttermilk practically a month during this time and this accounts for
the fact that they drank a little more water than buttermilk. When
they had both before them and could take their choice, they drank
about equal quantities ot each. If this test indicates anything, it indi
cates that sour milk or buttermilk is a better meat food than beef
scraps or fish scraps. They ate scarcely no alfalfa: meal, in spite of
the fact that this pen was kept on a bare yard and was given but little
other green food. “ Our poultry will not eat alfalfa meal or shredded
alfalfa, even when scalded, unless forced to do so by mixing it with
other ground feeds. Out of practically every nine pound* of milk,
water, and feed cqnsumed, these hens
manufactured one pound of eggs.

MOULTRIE, Ga., Aug. 23.—Parties
coming: here from Mitchell county bring
tidings to Moultrie of the destruction
with dynamite of the negro village of
Greenough by a crowd of infuriated
white men. j
Trouble first occurred between Brad
ley brothers, the negro proprietors of
the leading store of Greenough, and
John Davis and brother, two young ,
white men of the community, and grew
out of the failure of one of the Brad
leys to return some money that had
been advanced him.
John Davis was assaulted by one
of the Bradleys and knocked senseless
with a piece of scantling. The white
boys returned home and the Bradleys
left the village.
At night a mob of white men assem- ;
bled in the community and armed with
dynamite and such artillery as was
available visited the negro village,
planted the dynaite under the Bradleys’.
store, and blew it into atoms, set fire
to other stores, fired into the negro
residence sections, and received return
fire from armed negroes for a time.
The shooting seems to have been in
effective, as no deaths are reported.

Lieutenant Schmidt, of the army avia

Fear of a further outbreak has been
