TEARS OF WOMAN
MELT U.S.SENATE
Mrs. McDonald. Who Wept in
Gallery at Veto. Will Get
$42,000 Now.
WASHINGTON’, Aug. 21.-- A woman’s
tears, which wear marble, has melted the
stony hearteel United Stales senate.
Mrs Katherine McDonald, a plucky
Wyoming woman, came here to urge her
sick husband’s claim for SII,OOO damages
because of the Shoshone I‘a.T. in that
stale.
Seated in the gallery of the house of
representatives she wept when the bill,
which she had caused to be introduced,
failed to pass over President Taft’s veto
the other day. Despairing, she left Wash
ington for Wyoming to rejoin her husband
and three children.
Better news awaited her. The senate,
notwithstanding the veto, passed a new
bill appropriating $42,000 to pay McDon
ald’s claims for supplies and labor. There
Is little doubt that the house will accept
the measure
Mrs. McDonald snid tearfully just be
fore her departure:
“1 have been in Washington since Jan
uary. hoping to take favorable news home.
Perhaps 1 should not have broken down
and cried in the house gallery, but I
couldn’t help it. I thought of my sick
husband and my children and our for
feited home.
’’Just before I started East my little
girl. Dorothy, became desperately ill.
One night we thought she was dying. I
told God 1 was willing to sacrifice every
thing we had if Dorothy were spared.
Now the prayer has come true. I’m going
back to Dorothy, hut the savings of years
are gone and with it my home."

ONBOILSUPPORT
Aggressiveness of Big Inter
ests Has Stimulating Effect
on the Market.
NEW YORK. Aug. 21. Despite weak
ness abroad and a very favorable
weather map irregularity prevailed
upon the cotton market today at
the opening with first prices ranging from
unchanged to 2 points higher to 3 to ••
points lower than the final figures of
Tuesday. After the call a heavy buying
wave prevailed headed by big profession
als and brokers who usually represent
large spot interests. Miteheli was cred
ited with buying 30.000 bales of Decem
ber and January <»n the call. Prices at
on<-e made an upward movement with
October and December being the must
active positions. October rallied from
11.06 to 11.26; December was carried from
11.20 to 11.39. There was an unexpected
demand for the late mofiths which ral
lied them above last night's closer
During the late forenoon trading seine
of the early buyers turned sellers, trhich
was believed to be protit-taking, but
later during the afternoon session re
newed buying prevailed, and the buying
of some spot interest .caused the ring
crowd to cover some snorts and prices
quickly regained the high levels of the
day. with August and December leading
the advance. Net gains of 10 to 18 points
over the opening were recorded through
out the list. Some unfavorable reports
from Texas were issued, but very little
attention has been paid to them. Of
ferings were liberal and seemed to be
coming from all sides. McElroys was said
to be a heavy buyer today, which was re
ported to bo for New Orleans account.
At the close the market was steady
with prices showing a net gain of 6 to 8
points ov?Y the final quotations of Tues
day.

HAYWARD & CLARK’S
DAILY COTTON LETTER
NEW ORLEANS. Aug. 21 .—Liverpool
came in poor with futures 2 tn 3 points
lower than due; spots 7 points lower; sales
only 5.000. This weakness was a surprise
to many as. owing to the hampered ship
ping facilities. Liverpool might hold tip
better than our markets, which will feel
the greatest pressure under the existing
conditions. The difference between our
marker ard Liverpool may widen consid
erably yet.
A cable was received saying "Consid
erably more, doing in Manchester. ’’ The
following reports of new bales support
she contention that the lateness of the
crop has been unduly exaggerated:
"Laurel and Hattiesburg. Miss., have
bales.’’
Haekley. La.. "Cotton opening very
rapidly this vicinity; crop is a few days
earlier than last year."
First trades here were at a few points
decline, but strong support by certain
bull operators in New York advanced the
market 10 points soon after the opening
Some one circulated a report of a storm
in Oklahoma for which there was abso
lutely no foundation There is only the
cool wave which will give rain and cooler
in the western states as needed. The mar
ket cased when the true state of affairs
became known and trading settled around
11.34 for October. There is a good rea
son for the present halt in the decline,
and that is that futures are too far under
spot prices and that receipts outside of
Texas are not yet large enough,

- New Orleans Times-Democrat says;
i 'l’uesdays cotton market left contract
> values near the 11c mark, with near de
liveries showing the greatest declines.
The explanation given by the low price
- people, in effect, was as follows: “Ocean
freight rates are very high, and there Is I
no more room available out of Galveston
for August and September ami not much
chance io augment the tonnage pro-
> vided until later in the season. The T< x
as movement, particularly because of the
f i drouthy conditions in the south and south
) western portions of the state should in
t crease rapidly from now on. and with
•'ocean tonnage scarce and high, offerings}
i are freer, the basis is lower and there is i
) | some reason to expect a touch of con-
• i gestion at Galveston before very long.
-.All of which suggests a very wide parity I
I between New Orleans and Liverpool. The
' high price man admits the scarcity of
ocean freight room, the presence of in-
. I creasing movement and of more sellers
i I of the actual, but can not find proof of
• iar enormous crop- more than 14,00(1.000

» ing trade to worry the believer in a very
