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. SUGAR. PETROLEUM.

JOURNAL OF COMMERCE REPORT NEW YORK Aug. 25.—The Journal of Com 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. CHICAGO PRODUCE MARKET (By Associated Press.)

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. CHICAGO UUCTATJ0N3 The following wore the ruling prices in the exchange today: Open. High. Low. Close. Prev. Close. 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.

Said That American Mission ary Was Deliberately Mur dered by Turks (By Associated Press.) 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. Missouri National Egg=Lay= it. 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 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.
