NEW YORK. Sept. S. —The cotton
market showed continued irregu
larity in today’s early trading with
general business restricted* by the
proximity of the government crop
report due at midday. The opening
was steady =-t an advance of 7 points
to a decline of -4 points but after
selling at 24.65 for October, prices
eased off to 24.50 for that position
under southern hedging and com
mission house liquidation. Trade
interests were buyers on the decline,
the demand showing a tendency to
increase as the price approached
the 24-cent level for December but
bulges met further liquidation. A
private report estimated the condi
tion of the crop at 59.5 and th 1 in
dicated yield at 12,840,000 bales.
Covering and trade buying held
the market steady late in the fore
noon but prices broke, after the pub
lication of the government crop re
port. The government figures were
not far out of line with the average
of the private crop reports recently
issued, but they disappointed recent
buyers and the market soon weak
ened under liquidation and local and
s southern selling. October declined
to 24.00 and December to 23.60, with
in a few minutes after the report
was issued, representing net declines
of 49 to 52 points.
The decline later extended to 23.57 .
for October and 23.11 for December
when active showed net losses of
about 92 to 98 points under further
liquidation and local and southern
selling. Prices were within a. few
points of the lowest at 2 o’clock.

NEW ORLEANS COTTON
NEW ORLEANS, Sept. B.—The }
cotton market opened quiet but ;
prices were a little higher at the I
start owing to better Liverpool ad- I
vices than due. First trades show- |
ed gains of five to seven points I
with October at 23.83 and December !
at 23.90. Prices soon eased off to
23.69 for October and 23.79 for De- [
eember or 11 to 14 points down from j
the opening and six to seven points
below the previous close. The mar |
ket then became dull awaiting the
bureau report due at 10 o’clock.
New Orleans time. According to
early reports the weather over Sun
day was fair but Texas temperatures
were higher.
The market was fairly steady prior ;
to the issue of the government re- j
port, October trading just before the I
figures were flashed at 23.74 and De
cember at 23.75. Within a few min- j
utes of the receipt of the figures j
showing a condition of 59.3 and an I
indicated yield of 12,787,000 bales j
October had declined Io 23.05 and De- •
eember to 23.08, a loss of 69 and 67 j
points. About half the loss was «
soon regained, however, but toward
midsession the market showed a dis
position to ease off again and just
prior to the second call, October
dropped suddenly to 22.97 and De
-1 <-ember to 23.02, new lows for the
day or 77 and 73 points down from
the prices ruling just before the bu
reau report was issued. The late
weakness was attributed to liquida
tion by disappointed longs and con
siderable hedge selling. The amount
ginned to September 1, 958,204, was
about what was expected.
The market made only weak at
tempts at rallying cjurinar the hour'i
before noon and in the early after
noon again weakened, making new
lows for the day at 22.78 for October
and 22.84 for December or 98 to 101 !
points below Saturday’s close. The ■
decline was due to continued liquida
tion by disappointed longs who ex
pected a lower crop indication than
that issued by the government. The
movement of the cron to market is '
heavier and hedge selling is increas
ing as a natural result.

J weather and a broader export de
mand. causing the local advance in
' the market. On the upturn there
was selling both for northwest anil
I southwest account and this caused
i prices to react. After mid-session
local bulls were encouraged by the
rally in Winnipeg to reinstate lines
recently sokj out.
There was some talk of frost in
I the Canadian west but the low tem
peratures were in regions north of
“53.’’ Advices from Winnipeg stated
that agitators were trying to inter
fere with the harvest in .southern Al
berta by calling a strike of transient
labor. Cash wheat was weak with
contract grades selling at Saturday’s
inside premium while inferior quali
ties were as much as 1 to 5 cents
lower. There was evidence of ex-
I port business having been worked
over the week end but the quantity
was not large.
Milling demand for wheat remains
quiet. Tomorrow’s government re
port is expected to show a total
wheat crop (dose to 850,000 bushels.

| succeeded in forcing a, moderate up
’ turn early but prices sagged late'

Government Estimates Cotton Crop
i At 12,787,000 Bales; Condition 59.3
! WASHINGTON, Sept- S.—Cotton has passed through the month
[of August with less deterioration than in that month last year and
I less than the average August of the last ten years, resulting in a fore
cast today by the department of agriculture of 12,787,000 equivalent
500-pound bales for this season’s crop. That is 169,000 bales less than
forecast from the condition of the crop in the middle of August ana
2,657,000 hales more than produced last year.
A forecast of 12,787,000 equivalent 500-pounds bales for this
year's cotton crop, based on conditions prevailing September 1, and
ginnings of 958,.204 running bales, vs. 1,142,660 last year, counting
round as half bales, prior to September 1, were announced today
in the consolidated cotton report of the department of agriculture and
census bureau.
The condition of the crop on September 1 was 59.3 per cent of a
normal, indicating an acre yield of 151.5 pounds. The August 16
report this year placed the condition at 6 4.9, indicating an acre yield
of 153.5 pounds, and a crop of 12,956,000 bales at that time. Pro
duction was 10,128,478 bales last year when the condition was 54.1
on August 25, the nearest comparative date.
In a summary of conditions, the department said:
“The outstanding fact with regard to cotton for the latter half of
August, is dry weather, in many regions prolonged to a severe
drought. This condition has spoiled the earlier possibility of a
bumper crop in Georgia. It has apparently stopped plant growth
and fruiting in Alaba-ma and caused deteriotation in Mississippi.
Northwest Louisiana has had practically no rain since June 2 and
the plants are short and have stopped growing.
“There has been continued lack of rain in central and eastern
Texas, although there have been beneficial rains in the northwestern
portion. The temperatures in that state have been high m central
and eastern Texas the stands are poor, and the number of bolls that
were safe on September 1 was bel€w average.
“Extremely dry weather is reported from the entire cotton area
of Tennessee and some damage is apparent, but not great. The plants
in that state are heavily fruited and the crop as a whole is in fairly
good condition. The southeastern and southern parts of Oklahoma
are suffering with drought, but in the state as a whole, enough
squares and bolls remain to produce a good crop.
“Throughout most of the cotton belt, growing conditions have
been such as to cause smaller plants and bolls than usual and pre
mature opening of bolls, although the season is regarded as some
what late.
“Damage by boll weevil has so far been light throughout the en
tire belt except south Texas. 1» North Carolina little oT'the poison
that had been bought has been used. A little local damage is re
ported from South Carolina and further damage is possible to the
middle of September. The crop is too far advanced in Georgia for an r
serious future loss from the weevil. Little damage, or practically
none is reported from Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana. Texas, except
the south part; Oklamoha and Tennessee. The boll weevil had a
cold, unfavorable winter, a late crop and hot and dry, if not pro
longed drought conditions, during much of the summeV’
Forecast of production, by states, follows:

About 68,000 bales additional to California are being grown in
Lower California (old Mexico).
A report of the latest available information as to cotton produc
tion in foreign countries compiled by the foreign section of the bureau
of agriejilturial economics, says weather conditions throughout Egypt
were more favorable. The pink boll worm attack is considered-to be
heavier than last year and seems to be spreading. Cottdn area-' for
Lgypt is estimated at 1,856,000 acres, compared with 1,649,000 acres
last year.
In India planting proceeded under favorable conditions and
weather continued good in most parts.
Weahter was favorable up to the last of July in the cotton areas
ot China. Recent floods have done considerable damage, however,
and the general opinion is that the 1924 crop will be about 60 per
cent of normal. The general appearance of cotton in the Laguna dis
trict. Mexico, is reported to bp good and a large crop is expected.
The Russian central committee reports that its original scheme,
according to which 1,088,000 acres of cotton were to be planted in
1924, has been surpassed. Ln Turkestan, the chief cotton growing
region, the weather has been unfavorable on the whole but no serious
damage has resulted.

: MILLIOWK HOME
1 ROSLYN, L. 1.. Sept. 7.—TClar
er.ee H. Mackay, cable millionaire,
gave a truly royal party in honor
I ot’ the Prince of Wales at his GOO
acre estate —Harbor Hill—here last
: night.
Long Island called it a quarter
i of a million dollar dinner, and while
the cost probably ran well below
that figure, it is certain that thou
sands of dollars? were spent in the
elaborate floral and electric decora
tions.
Truck loads of flowers and potted
plants rolled up the long drive to
the palatial Mackay home all day,
while a force of 100 men had worked
three days preparing the grounds
The big house, overlooking the
waters of Hempstead Harbor, was
surrounded by an aura of light from
thousands of colored bulbs until it
gave the effect of an Arabian
Nights palace.
I Silver birches, maples and pines,
which line the long drive from the
elaborate gateway of carved iron
I and bronze, were festooned with
; orange colored lights, graduated in
brilliancy. Other lights were
strung through the hedges and
, throughout the estate.
’ The Mackay home, it is said, co«:
$1,500,000 and it looked ft tpmght.
Elite Flock to Reception
Lawns were manicured to a per
fect neatness. The high rnaible'
: block stoop and the wind swept
marble portico were covered with
a thick green carpet which blended
into the matchless smoothness of
the lawn.
It was un this royal pathway that
the Prince of Wales came to tlm
dinner party and it was up the same
1 long drive and over the same green
carpet that Long Island’s elite came
for the reception.
By 9 p. m. it was estimated 1,000
people were in the reception hall.
Among them were many of the
world’s wealthiest men—men beside
whom the great fortune of the
prince is a mere pittance. They all
stood in awe " the royal Briton,
however, and many of them wbre
almost laughably timid in his pres
ence. •
Diamonds flashed and pearls sent
forth their rosy luster everywhere.
The jewels alone must have been
worth millions.
Dinner was held in the main hall,
a kingly room with dull black
figures of burnished steel, some of
them with lances in hand’as if beck
oning to the royal guest.
Visits Races Again
The prince today had one of she
quiet, undisturbed times he has
sought, sometimes m vain since his
arrival on Long Island, though he
spent two hours this afternoon
watching the races at Belmont park,
much of the time in full view of
the grand stand. He traversed again
■ the same space between boxes and
paddock where on Labor day he was
surrounded by a large and insistent
crowd which pressed uncomfortably
about him. But today he was fol
lowed by only a small number of
curious, and they kept at a. respect
ful distance.
Thought the grounds of the Mead
owbrook club were adjudged too
wet for the international ' polo
matches, the prince himself gdt in
another game today, arising about
11. o’clock and mounting his pony
on the field at noOn.
Arriving- at Belmont park just be
fore the second race, the prince
stood in the infield accompanied only
s by Major E. D. Metcalfe, his equer
ry, Col. C. E. C. G. Charlton, mili
tary attache of the British embassy,
four secret service men and five
newspaper correspondents. He
watched Mrs. Payne Whitney’s
Damask win a- steeplechase from
Duettiste, Mr. J. E. Widener’s en
try.
The prince drove from the race
to the Mackay home, where he and
his host played squash racquets. An
American jazz band which the prince
liked in London, played for the
dances, after dinner.
Among the guests were Secretary
of War Weeks, Secretary of Agricul
ture Wallace, L. J. Butler Wright,
third assistant secretary of state;
General John J. Pershing and Sir'
Esme Howard, the British ambassa
dor. These guests will also attend,
the dinner to be given tomorrow by
Sir Esme at ‘he Piping Rock club
in honor of the prince and the polo
teams.
Tut an Astronomer
And Artist, Museum
Relic Hunter Finds
CHICAGO, Sept. 6.—An announce
ment from the University of Chicago
today says that “some time between
the yea’s 1375 and 1350 B. C., the
king Tutenkhamen, puzzled by the
stars that looked down on him from
the Egyptian skies, made with his
own hand an instrument which
would facilitate Ms observation of
the heavens.
It is sopn to be put on display in
the Oriental museum of the univer
sity. The instrument was found in
an obscure London shop by Prof
James Henry Breaested on return
ing from the king's tomb at Luxor,
Egypt.
A cast said to be a perfect copy of
the original made by Tut of queen
Nofretete. while he was counting the
queen’s daughter, shows that King
Tut was artist as well as astronomer,
the university also announced. The
royal head was unearthed at Tell-el
amarana and also will he exhibited
at the university museum.

TELLS OF VOYAGE

BY EDGAR ANSEL MOWRER
(Special Cable to The Atlanta Journal and
the Chicago Daily News.)
(The following descriptive story of Sat
urday’s trial flight of the German-built
American Zeppelin Jtlt-3 was written and
filed via tlie airship’s wireless during her
flight over northern Germany by Mr. Mow
rer, who was a passenger aboard the craft.)
WASHINGTON, Sept.- 7. The
9:09 o’clock in the morning.
“Deutschland Über Alles” sounds
from a Reichswehr band drawn up |
’ beside the hangar which we left ten
minutes ago. Two companies (if hon
or stand at salute. A small crowd
j of friends and relatives cheers.
| The ground drops .away rapidly.
The ants below, who have been L
hanging to the ropes, scatter. We
rise.rapidly, heading over Lake Con
stance. Freidrichshafen and the lake
are hidden below a curded cloud
bank.
The airship is alone—no, for be
side us swet'ps a shining aluminum
airplane which hovers like a dove
i in a religious picture.
Nine-twenty: The sun shines, Our
shadow follows us inx, the lakes be
low. We are 300 meters over Freid
richshafen. The Reichswehr, good
Germans that they are, stand un
moved in lines beside the hangar
where we left them. Our course is
northeast over Germany toward
Munich.
/ The movement is gentle. Here in
the cabins beneath the air trout’s
nose it is warm and comfortable as
a yacht. The movement is far
smoother than it ever is at sea.
There are thirty-odd guests, of
whom I am one, tasting the experi
ence of that transoceanic travel
which Dr. Hugo Eckner, director of
the Zeppelin company, is convinced
will be „ established within three
years. There are more dhan eighty
persons aboard.
