This advance carried Joly contracts ”p to 25.&> and October to 25.4>>. with all deliveries making new high records for the- season. Private condition figures in dicating very little improvement in crop pros pects were probably a factor both here and in laverpool.' while' Liverpool wa« al*> influ enced by -he advance »t ocean freight rate*.

June 18.—Cotton advanced strongly on this market today, rising 7 8 to 85 points In the first half hour of business, as the result of ’he extremely wide rise in Eng Iteh prices The market was quiet at the ad vance. a small demand being met by scanty offerings. _ * _.. On very quiet trading -J>e advance was wid ened 90 to 112 points by the noon hour. Poor crop accounts and a private bureau report on condition, showing an improvement of only 1.4 pointa for .he balf-mooth. stimulated the ma nd. which was met by a small supply of contracts. The market showed little excite ment at ’he advance. The tone was dull but steady in the after noon. with very little price change. At 1:30 the market showed a net rise of 96 to 118 points. 27EW ORLEANS COTTON The following were the ruling prices In the exchange today: Tone, steely: middling. 24.73 c: steady. Lett free Open.

NEW ORLEANS. June 18.—The drastic ac tion of Liverpool again shows that improve ment in traffic conditions is still prospective. That market thia morning showed 109 to 103 English points advance, closing at the best, while spots are quoted 94 up, 18d for middling, equal to about ;15%c. The loss of several cotton cargoes is re ported. one of the most important losses be ing the steamship Mississippi. Covering agalust these losses and rush buying hy the trade in an ticipation of government restrictions for op erating in staple necessities may have been the chief factors in the frantic advance in Liv erpool. Political news is mixed. While news from Russia is better there sre n-ports of r-vo lutiouary moves in China, unrest in Spain— a threatened cabinet crisis In Italy. The senate passed the priority shipping bill empowering the president to direct shipments of commodities essential to the prosecution of the war. While weather conditions have improved in so far as temperatures have risen closer to normal, the map shows no rain in the belt. Indications are for increasing cloudiness west with a tendency to become unsettled, partly cloudy in the central and eastern belt; some scattered showers. Our market opened 40 points up on July and 70 points up on new crops, eased a little and then experienced another sudden advance which tarried July to 25.10 and October to 24.98. Trading was rather quiet, but selling has be come so intimi-lated that there is a decided •can-ity of contract* and little buying causes an advance. METAL MAH KVT NEW YORK.

SSOO,OOO7ORIiuARANTI N E AGAINST PINK BOLL WEEVIL Secretary Houston, in Letter to Chairman Lever, Asks This Amount WASHINGTON, June 18.—An imme diate appropriation of ‘(500,000 for an effective Texas border quarantine against the pink boll worm of cotton in Mexico, to supplant the $50,000 appro priated in the annual agricultural bill for the coming fiscal year, was asked of congress in a letter which Secretary Houston sent Chairman Lever, of the house agriculture committee today. A deficiency appropriation probably will be made. While the pink boll worm so far has gained only a slight foothold on the border, causing a quarantine of a small area in Texas heretofore, the depart ment of agriculture officials fear its spread with large damage unless there is some quick, drastic action. The small appropriation in the cur rent agricultural act was to meet the emergency caused by the existence of the pest in Mexico and the movement of 500 carloads of cotton seed from the infested districts in Mexico to milling points in Texas and elsewhere. It was to enable the secretary of agriculture to prohibit movement of cotton and cotton seed from Mexico into the United States, inspection of cotton fields and watching of the situation generally. Since hten the spread ofthe Insect has alarmed the federal officials. Indian Princess Died at 102 (Milwaukee Journal.) Mrs. Harriet Steward Herrington, 102 years old, died recently at Racine, Wis.
