NEW YORK. Aug. 27.—The cotton mar
ket opened firm at an advance of 35 to 54
points on higher Liverpool cables and private
crop re]»orts, indicating a greater falling off
In condition for the past month Ilian had
been expected by recent sellers. There was
heavy Liverpool buylg and heavy covering
Which sent October tip to 25.43 and Deeem
bei to 26.(17 right after the call or about
55 to 70 points net higher on the active po
sitions. Liverpool cables said the market
there had been influenced by the private
crop figures. Three of the end-months re
ports were issued, one making the condition
69 against 76.5 last month and the indi
cated crop 12,750,000 bales while another
placed the condition at 68.2 compared with
75.5 last mouth and the third made it 68.4
against 74.6.
The weather map showing unexpected
andtendesired rains quite generally in the
belt served to stimulate the early buying
movement. October sold up to 28.50 c and
December to 26.78 c. or 77 to 78 jioints net
higher, and 233 to 282 points above tlie
low record of last Tuesday. This proved
sufficient to attract realizing, and there
was a renewal of scattering pressure which
caused reactions of several points from the
best late in the morning. Trading became
less active toward midilny with buying
checked by another private report making
the condition 72.5 and the indicated crop
13.750,000 bales.
The market was weaker during the early
afternoon on rumors that British coal min
ers had voted to strike. October sold off to
29.12 and December to 26.25. or about 10 to
50 points from the best prices of the morn
ing. but steadied later on on rain and crop
complaints from the south.

NEW ORLEANS COTTON
NEW ORLEANS. Aug. 27.—A private bu
reau condition report of 69 per cent of nor
mal, indicating a crop of 12.760,000 .bales,
put the cotton market strongly higher to
day on the opening. Buying increased when
the weather map showed too much rain over
the belt and during the first hour of busi
ness advances were widened to 59 to 72
points. October rising to 27.24 nnd March
to 25.20. There was much covering by
•horts and a fairly large volume of fresh
buying for long account.
The weather forecast, calling for unset
tled to showery weather over practically
the entire belt, coupled witli reports of more
inquiry in the spot department, increased
the steadiness of the market,- Buying in
creased and buyers found no great supply
of contracts to work on. Toward noon
prices were SO to 95 points up. with Oc
tober at 27.47 c ami March at 25.33 c.
Private cablegrams fromo England stating
tbit the coal miners had voted to call a
•trike for the early part of September
Caused recessions of about 40 points, but
the market recovered toward the close
evidently on fear of another wet weather
tnap in the morning, and the strongest
months again stood about SO points 'np,
October trading around 27.28 c.

THOMSON, MTkINNON & CO. GRAIN
LETTER
CHICAGO, Aug. 27,—Wheat: it begins
to look as though the predicted liquidation
of farm holdings which was expected to be
enforced by the curtailment of loans would
not materialize. This idea is gathered from
the light offerings from the country reported
from all sections. This condition has
brought about relatively higher export bids,
with premiums for cash the Highest on the
crop. This markef~gives evidence of selling /
still higher.
Corn: Crop estimates and reduction in
number of farm animals remain the factors
which control sentiment in corn. Eastern
demand is so slow and industrial buyers I
are so leisurely that the premiums for the
cash are overlooked. There is said to be
an improved demand for old corn from the
south and inquiries for the new crop from
across the Canadian border. While admit
ting that the present crop outlook war
rants a crop sufficiently large to supply all
needs, we are of tlie idea that this theory
has become threadbare and that the mar
ket is shaping itself to recognize the small
amount of corn actually available for cur
rent uses and the prices which it is com
manding.
Oats: Southern demand for oats continues
rather brisk, and there is said to be a bet
ter feeling abroad, although no export busi
ness uncovered. Country holders are not
pressing their surplus for sale. Tlie mar
ket, like corn, seems to have discounted the
bearish factors and is in a watting attitude.
Provisions: The idea that surplus hogs
have been well marketed is being revived
in the provision list. It cannot be said that
cash trade is brisk, but there is a better
tone to the market.
GRAIN MARKET OPINIONS
Bartlett, Frazier & Co.: Country shows
no disposition to press sales to arrive while
the domestic demand keeps fairly good in
oats.
Hnlburd Warren: We continue to be
lieve that the trend o| grain prices is
downward.
Harris, Winthrop & Co.: Think that an
immediate resumption of downward trend is
probable.
Leland & Co.: Wlieat is strong in its
undertone, but weakness in other grains
has a tendency to temper bullish enthusi
asm.

SHEPARD & GLUCK’S COTTON LETTER
NEW ORLEANS. Aug. 27.—The lower
range than expected of private bureau re
ports on condition put the price of cotton
higher today. Too much rain in tlie belt
and prospects of still more to come were
an additional sustaining influence. There
was also more looking around in tlie spot
department all hough it can hardly be claimed
that any great improvement in spot busi
boss is yet in sight. To many traders i
, looks like a higher market between now and
bureau day and to v.s this appears entirely
probable if tlie weather does not improve.

TROOPS READY TO
PREVENTRELEASE
OF IRISH MAYOR
- x
LONDON, Aug. 27,r—Cordons of
troops were thrown about Brixton
prison today.
The military took this action after
discovery that a number, of the per
sons demonstrating for release of
Lord Mayor MacSwiney, of Cork,
were armed with revolvers and
bombs.
Soldiers and police, promptly
charged and broke up every group
that gathered in the vicinity of the
prison. Several addit’iojpal arrests
were made.
After visiting the Lord Mayor this
morning, his wife and his sister An
nie said his death was imminent.
King George made public today
his decision not to iiite,rfere with
the cabinet’s action regarding Mac-
Swiney. Redmond Howard, nephew
of the late John -Redmoud, appealed
to the king to release the lord may
or. The king replied yesterday that
he would give the matter "immedi
ate and earnest consideration.”
M’SWINFY’S SISTER FALLS
HIS DEFIANCE HEROIC
ASHEVILLE, N. C„ Aug. 27. —

“heroic” today by his sister, The
Reverend Aladame M. MacSwiney,
and official of St. Genevieve’:, col
lege.
“Being;.a member of a religious
community, I do not feel at liberty
to make a detailed statement on
political matters,” she said.
“However, I feel it inctimbent up
on me to state that 1 consider the
conduct of the Lord Mayor of Cork—
my brother—heroic both from a
moral and- a patriotic, standpoint.
“I hope and pray that it may lead
to the complete success of the cause
that inspires it.”

On the question of keeping se
cret all local subscriptions, Gover
nor Cox quoted from' the official
bulletin on August. 16 as follows;
"The names and amounts subscribed
by local donors should not be made
public locally.”’
Gives Xt PubHcity
"I hereby give it wide and non
exclusive publicity/’ Governor Cox
continued, “but why was the pub
lication to be only the organ of the
secret society? Why were the names
of local contributors not to be made
known? Was it because each contri
bution would carry its own meaning
to the voters jn the local communi
ties? Or, if secrecy were guaranteed
in the communities, were Mr. Hays
and Mr. Upham to do the same thing
in submitting their returns on box
office receipts? Certainly there is
some reason. What is ft? The public
'ft ent ft tl, ? tl t° know. If Mr. Hays and
Air. Upham do not come forward
with the information, the Republi
can national committee ought to re
move them both and Insist upon a
clean bill of health. Furthermore
there should be some explanation of
this being made purely a business
affair, participated in by business
men and business men Only. Unex
plained, it carries its ojvn condem
nation and exposes the purpose of the
whole shameful business. It means
that the quota is to be assessed
against those who are to benefit, and
that the captains of industry who
have answered Mr. Hays’ roll call are
submitting to taxation with the un
derstanding that they will have rep
resentation. 1
The qouta plan. Governor Cox
charged, was approved by Chairman
Hays and Treasurer Upham, and
also, he added, "it received indorse
ment from a higher source.”
Quoting from a "message” writ
ten by Senator Harding, the Repub
lican nominee, in the official bulle
*ofc Au &ust 5, Governor Cox said
that Senator Harding expressed his
gratitude for “the enthusiasm shown”
in raising the campaign fund.
“That Mr Harding is acquainted
even with the details of the enter
prise is evidenced by a ! subsequent
?s aS a S s aS follows d : Governoi % “which
“ ’Through the fine work of your
organization, we are nearing that
form of political patriotism which
expressed itself in support from ev
ery county, every state. Therefore,
1 >iant all members of your organiza
tion to feel that their efforts are
essential to our success in planning
for national .enlightenment and deep?
ly appreciated by me.' ” 1
“•Jh^Yi ern r ‘ said he depended
wholly for the purpose of making
proof of his charges” upon official
documents which came from Repub
lican headquarters. He did ftot plan
to send his data to the senate cam
paign investigating- committee, stat
ing privately that the . committee
could get its information from his
address.
Besides his statement on Repub
lican finances, which he prepared
with great care, the Deifiocratic can
didate also discussed the League of
Nations and industrial problems, urg
ing settlement of strikes without the
bayonet.

Questions Answered
1 q. — How are motion pictures
made in which the action is so slow
ed down that in games, such as
tennis, you can see every made
by the players?
’l. A.—Such pictures are made sty
means of a camera which works a
great deal faster than the ordinary
camera. ...
The ordinary movie camera will
take 16 pictures per second. If a pic
ture is being made of a man walk
ing such a camera will give only 16
views of him in one second’s time.
But the new camera used in making
the “slowed-down” movies can take
160 to 300 pictures per second. Hence
in a second’s time, this camera
would take 160 to 300 different
views of the man who is walking.
2. q. —How did the expression
“dead ns a he’rring” come to be used?
2. A. —This is doubtless because
of the fact that it is a rare thing
even for fishermen to see a live her
ring. The fish dies the instant it is
taken out of the water.
3. Q. —Why is peace represented
by a dove?
9. A. —The dove has always play
ed a large part' in legend folk lore
and religious symbolism. Because
of its peculiarly mournful notes it
was used in pagan funerals. This
later passed into Christian usage,
and the dove’s likeness, usually with
an olive branch, was carved on most
of the tombs in the catacombs be
rfeath Rome to typify eternal peace.
4. Q. —How much of the build
ing that goes on is for the construc
tion of homes?
4. A. —Normally, about 30 per
cent of buildings constructed are
dwellings, but in 1919 only 15 per
cent of the total was for this pur
pose.
5. q. —if st. Patrick converted
Ireland, who converted England,
since the ancient Britons were pa
gans?
5. A. —St. Augustine of Rome, un
der the direction of Pope Gregory I,
carried" the gospel to England.
6. Q. —What is the best way to
clean piano keys and keep them
white?
6. A,—Cleaning piano keys with
alcohol will whiten them. A flannel
moistened with cologne water is
helpful. Keep the piano open so that
sunlight will strike the keys and
bleach them.
7. Q. —What is inside the Lincoln
memorial?
7. A. —A marble statue of Lincoln
by Daniel Chester French is placed
in the center of the memorial and
in two smaller halls are memorial
tablets bearing in incised letters the
Gettysburg speech, and the second
inaugural address.
8. Q. —Should one say “I feel
bad” or “I feel badly?”
8. A. —The expression “I feel bad ’
is correct, for bad is an adjective to
denote condition; likewise, “he looks
bad” is correct not “badly.”

10. Q. —Is it true that alien pri
vate property in the hands of the

IIEDKITEDSMOKE'
Pleasant and Easy to Use.
Dr. Blosser is the originator of a
certain combination of medicinal
herbs, flowers and berries to be
smoked in a pipe or ready prepared
cigarette which is meeting with un
usual success in catarrhal troubles.
The smoke-vapor reaches all the air
passages of the head, nose and
throat. As the disease is carried
into these passages with the air you
breathe, so the antiseptic, healing
vapor of this remedy is carried with
the breath directly to the affe :te 1
parts.
This simple, practical method, ap
plies the medicine where sprays,
douches, ointments, etc., cannot pos
sible go. Its effect is soothing and
healing, and is entirely harmless,
containing no cubebs, tobacco, da
habit forming drugs. It is pleasant
to use, and not sickening to those
who have never smoked. If you are
a sufferer from catarrh, asthma,
catarrhal deafness, or if subject to
frequent colds, no matter how severe
lor long standing, you should tiy
Dr. Blosser’s remedy.
To prove the beneficial, pleasant
effect, The Blosser Co., ML 402, At
lanta, Ga., will mail, for ten cents
(coin or stamps) to any sufferer, a
sample that will verify their claims
by actual test. This trial package
contains some of this Remedy macle
into cigarettes, also some of the
powder and a dainty little pipe
