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 dance, and continued improvement would result In a further reaction. Fear of aa early frost or even an average deterioration during the re mainder of the season should avart anty materia) decline, kknrever, and In view of the likelihood ot more cotton arcs later'on we believe that cotton UB be Mfbljr bought « SrOLE MONEY IN NIGHT AND REPENT IN JAIL Negro Has Confessed to , ' Theft Charged.

SMITH, fcmporary Administrator Estate Kyle W. Smith. 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.” 'he Southern States Life Insurance Co. HLMER L.
