Sales Light—Bulls Alive.
NEW YORK, Aug. 27.—In response
to a sharp rise in August at New Or
leans that position in New York Cot
ton Exchange at the opening was 20
points higher, with other positions at
a net advance of 4 to 8 points from
Tuesday’s final. Sentiment was ex
tremely against the market. A good
many reports were in circulation, show
ing deterioration in some parts of the
eastern belt; also in Texas, Oklahoma
and Arkansas. The market, however,
lost ground immediately after the open
ing and prices shaded some 4 to 8 points
from the opening.
August failed to maintain the initial
gain and dropped 18 points without
stopping.
The selling was probab’y based on a
condition report by a prominent local
spot Interest, placing conditions at 73.8
per cent, against The Commercial-Ap
peal’s estimate of 69.6 per cent The
bearish influence of this and indicated
showers In the Western belt was offset
by the bullish condition figures of the
rational glnners’ rei*wt of 69 3 per cent,
being .3 point under the lowest percent
age given the crop this season. The
ring who played for a reaction yester
day looked short and ran to cover, fol
lowed by aggressive buying from strong
sources anil there was very little for
sale. Prices continued to advance, and
after the call the entire list had estab
lished new high levels for the present
upward movement, being 14 to 16 points
better than the previous dose. August
was apparency dormant.
The market during the late forenoon
was Irregular and nervous with good
support in evidence in the soft spots by
brokers usually representing trade in
terests The volume of business was
much smaller and hesitancy in the sell
ing was sTiown on the part of hears be
cause of the approaching holidays, fol
lowed on Tuesday by the Bureau report.
Private condition reports w-ere bullish,
all showing 10 to 11 points deterioration
for the month.
The Texas detail weather showed con
tinued high temperatures and brought

vigorous buying in our markets this

The best buying to-day seemed* to
come from strong sources. The ring
played for a reaction yesterday ami
looked as If they were short this morn
ing and ran to cover Wilson and
Shearson were sealdtng sellers Shear-
son sold Mitchell 7,000 bales of Decem
ber at 12.05 and then Mitchell turned
around and bid for ten thousand more.
Norden purchased 5,000 December,
while Wilson sold at the outset and kept
it up until the closing ’gong" sounded.
Theodore H. Price says; "It now'
seems altogether probable that cotton
will be carried much higher than the
facts warrant, and they certainly justify
at leust 12 cents for new crop deliveries
in New- York.”
Weld makes the condition of the crop
73.9 per cent, which is considered rather
bearish, considering the low percentage
of 69.6. given the crop by The Memphis
Commercial-Appeal.
Dallas wires: "Texas clear and pleas
ant. Oklahoma—Central and west part
cloudy, rest clear.'’
T^e New York Journal of Commerce
has the following on the condition of
the cotton crops in North Carolinu,
South Carolina and Georgia:
“North Carolina—Conditions have been
generally favorable and cotton shows im
provement of a month ago when it
was 79.3. Beneficial rains have pro
duced a large plant and well fruited,
but much depends upon a late killing
frost since the season is uboul tWo
weeks late. Drouth in some sec
tions has caused shedding, but aside
from this there is very little com
plaint. Picking will be general about
September 10. Too much rain in some
sections has caused a large weed at the
expense of fruit, but many correspond
ents look for a yield beyond the aver
age.
‘‘South Carolina—Continued dry
w’eather in many sections has caused
the cotton to shed. The plant generally
is strong and well fruited, and with
timely rains and a late frost a large
crop is expected It is only the late
planted cotton that Is suffering for rain.
There are no complaints of insect dam
age and the crop Is In a good state of
cultivation. Percentage condition
shows some improvement over a month
ago when it was 76.6.
"Georgia—Cotton has about main
tained its condition as compared with a
month ago when it was 79.5. This is
between 5 and 6 points better than a
year ago at this time. The crop is
spotted, owing to late planting, which
has suffered considerably from drouth.
Many localities report a perfect season,
wdth plant of average size, healthy and
heavily fruited. There is a marked ab
sence of damage by insects, but young
cotton has suffered from shedding.
Picking has already commenced and
will be quite general by September 1.
l^abor Is ample and the only requisites
for a big crop are more rain and a late
killing frost.’’
NEW ORLEANS, Aug. 27.—Hayward
& Clark: The weather map shows in
creasing cloudiness, and more general
rains In the western States and Ar
kansas within three days, increasing
prospects of showery weather also in
the central belt.
The New Orleans Times-Democrat
says: "Last year, before the crop be
gan to move in volume, the rings dis
counted a moderate yield and a large
requirement. Speculative apathy
throughout the season was the result.
This year the same program has been
initiated. Basic- conditions, however,
are different.
‘ Last year a great deal of forward
business was done early in the season,
and the presence of many long hedges
proved a bulwark of contract market
strength. This year spinners have not
been buying ahead in the usual volume
and the demand for long hedges has
been limited. When speculators began
to lift the market under the influence
of crop damage reports from the west,
hedge sellers in the west supplied the
contracts required.
"Thus on the face of the returns the
hedge interest is short this year,
whereas, at this time last year it was
long. Another fact the talent should
not overlook is that this year’s cotton
market starts out after two years of
remarkable mill trade activity. But the
basic law of commodity market is
against it." *

in the cream, sherbet or whatever refreshment it
X KJ flX 5 0 Al I be. and pack in the ice as in the ordinary
I blH I w HLL freezer. Then the work is ended. There is no
working a dasher, no turning a handle or
crank, no straining your ormnand back, no opening the freezer to “see”
if it is freezing, no extra packing in of ice. All you do after packing is to
open the freezer and serve the refreshment. It saves work, tjme, trouble
and—you.
Perfect
The Ice-Kist has no dasher or
crank because it has two freezing
s ur faces. The old-fashioned
freezer had only one freezing
rurface—that is why a crank an l
dasher were necessary The
Ice-Kist has a metal freezing
tube that extends directly through
the cream to the bottom This
gives the two freezing surfaces.
The cold penetrates from the
center and from the outside,
too. The cream is frozen with a
smoothness that will delight you.
