tlie Middle Atlantic ami northern po
tion of the South Atlantic States, con
tinuing Wednesday in New England.
New York and New Jersey. Elsewhere
east of the .Mississippi River the weath
er will lie fair to-night ami Wednes
day. with higher temperatures Wed
nesday throughout the upper Lake and
Western lower Lake regions and the
Ohio Valley.
General Forecast.
Following is the general forecast until
7 p. m. Wednesday:
Georgia—Generally fair to-night and
Wednesday slightly cooler to-night in
north and central portions
Virginia—Showers to-night; Wednes
day cloudy.
North Carolina- Showers to-night and

firm and under persistent buying from
the large spot interests shorts covered
considerable short lines. McFadden.
Riordan and Parrott led the buying
movement. Riordan, was credited with
purchasing about 12,000 to 15.000 bales
of October and December, which was
said to bo for Wall Street. The charac
ter of the buying chased shorts to cov
er. Offerings were very light ami scat
tered. It is believed by many * that
there is still an existing short interest
in the market.
October ami December displayed ex
traordinary firmness. October advanced
8 points and December 9 over the ini
tial level. Other positions followed the
advance moderately, advancing 3 to 7
points.
The advance came in the face of ex
tremely bearish advices from all parts
of the belt, as well as from abroad.
A cable said:
“The market feels the influence of Con
tinental buying, spinners well stocked,
and. notwithstanding a fair Manchester
business wc expect a small spot mar
ket in Liverpool for the present. Think
market will be lower if crop accounts
continue favorable.' 1
Weather developments overnight were
of the most favorable character. No
rains fell of consequence. The map
promises very favorable weather over
night; fair an«l warmer in the western
and central States*, cloudy and probably
showers in tHe Carolinas and East Ten
nessee warmer.

Miller & Co.: Opinion on Government
reports seem to have crystallized around
8: per cent which, if June reports are
indicative of Anal production, should bo J
interpreted bearishly.
Norden To.: It is possible there
may be further selling in an attempt to
discount a good bureau report.
Sternbe r ger, Sinn & Co.: It is still a
weather market.

COTTON GOSSIP
NEW YORK. May 27.—Reports to the
Journal of Commerce state that the cot
ton crop is backward in the Carolinas
and about normal in Tennessee. The
acreage is slightly increased and the
stands in general are poor. Rain was
badly needed, but showers have been
general recently. Some replanting in
Tennessee with an increase in the acre
age. In North Carolina the season is
about two weeks late; prospects are
much brighter since the rains. South
Carolina condition may fall below last
year, when it was 79. Tennessee con
dition shows an increase of nearly ten
points over last year, when it was 73.5.
* * *
It is believed that a good deal of
short cotton has been covered during
the past few days and a lower market
is predicted, based on favorable weather
conditions and reports w'hich are com
ing in. Around the close yesterday Rior
dan bought about 10,000 hales of Octo
ber and December. McFadden brokers
also bought. However, they sold old
crop positions.

NEW ORLEANS. May 27.—Hayward
& Clark: The weather map is very fa
vorable. Shows fair and warmer in
western portion of the Atlantics. Cloudy
and warm in the Atlantics and Ten
nessee. No rain except in Tennessee
and parts of North Carolina. w'here it
wjll he beneficial.
The New Orleans Times-Democrat
says,- “Favorable crop reports came
from many quarters, and the cotton
market declined. Of course, a w'ave of
bearish sentiment passed over the rings
and low-price people discussed the out
look for declines in more or less confi
dent tones. Ten cents for new crops
wms talked of as a sure thing, nine cents
as a probability, eight cents as likely,
and. according to one lone bear, seven
cents as a possibility. All the while
the bull faction kept quiet and permit-
10001 ted the spell of depression to run its
1 a,>o I course. At the close underlying strength
'"j seemed to develop, and students of the
j market expressed the belief that near
1000 future fluctuations would range within
1000 20 points.
10001 “The weather over Sunday was very
favorable, temperatures were higher and.
on the fare of things, the crop seemed
to be in a fair way to make seasonable
progress. The man on the fence, while
admitting the presence of much more
favorable clUnatic conditions, was in
clined to believe that the flood of favor
able crop advices, coming right at the
close of the period on which the Gov
ernment’s condition bulletin on June 2
is to be based, traces some of its in
spiration to a possible need of an offset
to any relatively low condition that
might have been reported on May 25
from the less favoiable sections.”

Plymouth Rocks
They Are as Beautiful as They Are
Useful and Profitable—Are
Good as They Look.
In our estimation there are
no better chickens than the White
Plymouth Rocks. When carefully
bred and rightly handled they are as
beautiful an they are useful and prof
itable.
With their glossy white plumage,
red comb, wattles and earlobes, and
yellow legs, they look fine enough to
eat, and they are just as good as they
look.
I am not raising*them and 1 have*
none to sell, but 1 know what I am
talking about, for 1 have handled
them in years past and speak from
experience.
If you want to produce good ones,
however, you must be mighty care
ful to breed from first class stock. If
you are just starting in the business
you can not use too much care to pro
duce a start of the very choicest
breeders. Then let your selections
each year be the very best. Cull out
the poor ones, both as to shape and
color. Keep nothing that does not
show a robust constitution, the
ones with the broad breasts and
backs, heavy thighs, nice and taper
ing. arched necks, with a low car
ried tail. Such a specimen is not
only good looking in shape, but con
tains stamina worth considering.
Weed out those with the slim,
straight necks, long and narrow or
roached back's; legs 100 long, stand
ing too close together at the knees;
tail slim and carried too high, form
ing an angle with the back. These
points of defect are very often seen,
and upon w hat some call good speci
mens. Of course, they are rarely all
seen upon the same fowl, but fre
quently two or more are.
High Type Utility Fowl.
When you have tin very best pos
sible shape in a White Rock for the
show room you have a utility fowl
of the very highest type. There is
no doubt about that. As to color,
the Standard says pure white
throughout, web tjuill and all. You
see there are no qualifications. Simply
white. Any departure from this is
defective, such as creaminess, brass
and the like, brass simply being the
creaminess intensified into a positive
yellow, as seen upon poor specimens
of males two years old or older. This
is one of the things we have to fight
against in our endeavors for the best.
Gray or blaek specks are quite com
mon and are often distributed
through the plumage in pin head
sizes, and are defective according to
size and number and the intensity of
color. Positive black spots of any
kind will disqualify. A good, pure,
white plumage throughout, free from
any creamy tinge, even though it
contains a few minute specks, is
much more desirable in every way
than *one that has a tendency to be
creamy. Do not throw' that kind
away, for it is a hard matter to get
a pure white one. The ear lobes
should be bright red. as in all the
different varieties of rocks, any per
manent, or what might be called
enameled white, disqualifies. Look
out for this, as it only takes a mighty
few of the right kind of black specks
to throw them out. What the Stan
dard terms positive white, in treat
ing with w’hite in specimens demand
ing red lobes, is a white that seems
coated right on to the surface, and
not a changeable white that shows
white one minute and reddens the
next.
Single Comb.
The comb upon both the male and
female should be single and straight
upon the head, not soft enough to
turn to one side or the other or to
wrinkle in its course from where it
starts at the base of the head to the
blade at the rear. A comb of five
points is the one desired, although a
four-point one w r ould not be so very
objectionable in the eyes of the best
breeders. Look out for feathers,
stubs or down on the shanks, which
should be clean and free from any
appearance of feathers. One can
soon learn to detect the greater de
fects and the little ones will come to
light later on in the game.
If you get a strictly first class
White Rock for the fancy man or the
show room, you will have a good one
to breed broilers or roasters from
and a good one for laying, too, for
that matter.
You know it used to be a great
idea to those that knew nothing about
the business that a thoroughbred or
standard bred chicken, one good
enough to put into the show' room,
was some kind of a freak not suited
to any other purpose, and entirely
unfit for the practical man. Nothing
could have been farther from the
facts, and many are just now get
ting wise along this line, for it has
been one great aim and earnest en
deavor of the standard makers for
years to have for their ideal chicken
one that was all chicken from head to
tail.

wires from Vincennes. Ind.: “Generally
good rains from St. Louis; rlear across

enough to end drouth talk for the pres

of Illinois promises unusually heavy rate
of yield and thiB rain practically makes
it Crop is lighter in eastern counties,
but fully up to the average on the In
diana side of the Wabash River South
of Terre Haute the crop is spotted with
the average hardly up to the usual
promise.
“Oats consistently poor all across Illi

distinctly a poor outlook. The rains
will help, but crop in Missouri. Illinois
and southwest Indiana will be a very

DISCOUNTED IN WHEAT TRADE ’
CHICAGO, May 27 The Inter Ocean
says “Sentiment in th* wheat trade 1
was inclined to be bullish last night on
the. theory that all bearish conditions
nn the crop have been discounted and
that the market is now in shape to re
spond to any good buying.
“It was noticeable that corn traders
who have been bullish and waited for
H break to replace recent sales were
large buyers yesterday, changing their
tactics because of the wet weather which
they believe will delay planting of the
new crop as well as farmers' deliveries
of the old."
