New York, August 23.—There has
been little change in the cotton sit
uation during the week and while the
market has been fairly active prices
are uoi materially changed from tboae
of last week. The teudeucy is re
octiunary, owlug to the reports of
more showers in Texas and forecasts
of furUier rains.
On the recensions, however, a good
demand has been noted and the oplir
Ion prevails that until additional re
liable data on the growing crop can
be bad present prices reflect a fair
valuo for the now crop,
Conditions in the Eastern section as
the belt have been steadily Improving
and more optimistic views of a good
crop are now professed than were ku-
llevod possible a month ago.
Alias Olios' condition report, issued
this week, was very bullish In that it
showed 12 per cent, deterioration
Texas, which more titan offset sue
moderate Improvement east of the
Mississippi. Her report would lndi.
cate a crop of less than twelve mil-
Han bales. Slnte the figures were
complied, however, the Southwest has
had mots rain which leads to the ba
llet that the government report will
nuke a better showing than Miss
Olles.
The market has to a large extent
discounted the damage already doue
and price* for the new crop seem to
have reached a point of equilibrium
around IS 14 cent*. Any farther
damage Would be followed by an ait

I am just in receipt of New York Exchance, payable to my order as
emporary Administrator, of the estate of Kyle W. Smith, deceased, which
acknowledge as payment in full of policy held by him in your Company,
wish to say in this connection that of the four companies in which the de-
ased was insured, yours was the first to make payment. You could not
ssibly have acted with greater pomptness, as your settlement was mailed
i the same day the claim papers readied you. This was especially grati-
fng to me in view of the fact that Mr. Smith’s policy was only taken out
ne 6th, his death having occured July 15th.
Please allow me to thank you, and Your local agent, Mr. J. H. Baker,

RECORD
The Southern
States Life
Has Never
Contested
a Death Claim
REASON
The usual promptness with which all claims are settled by
The Southern States Life Insurance Company, is due first to its
willingness and desire to assist the beneficiary, and second, the
fact that it is a home institution, located in the immediate vicinity
of the iusured; is easy of access, has facilities for securing infor
mation promptly; advantages which by the very fact of their lo
cation, are denied to companies whose home offices are in dis
tant cities.
ibove tells the story. Prompt payment of death claims proves the Insurance Company’s integrity. The Southern States life, by reason of the fact that its home office is
^d in the heart of the South, paid the policy immediately. There are no long and tedious waits in the payment of policies in The Southern States Life Insurance Co. Its
is perfect. “You could not possibly have acted with greater promptness, as your settlement was mailed on the same day the claim papers reached you. This was es-
lly gratifying to me in view of the fact that Mr. Smith’s policy was only taken out June 6th, his death having occurred July 15th.”
