LAGRANGE'S FIRST BALE
SELLS FOR 12 1-2 CENTS
LA GRANGE, Aug. 27.—The first bale
of the crop of 1913 cotton was brought
in from the plantation of J. B. Bass, a
few miles south of town.
The bale, which weighed 504 pounds
and Gassed as good middling, was
bought by the aLGrange Cotton Com
pany for 1214c, and consigned to Deni
son’s mill here, where it will manu
factured into goods at once.
BADLY SQUEEZED
Bears Hesitate on Coming Holi
day, Bureau and Bullish News.
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
stooping.
The selling was probably based on a
condition report by a prominent local
spot interest, placing conditions at 73.9
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
national ginners’ report of 69.5 per cent,
being, 5 points 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 and 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 close. August
was apparently dormant.
The rrtarket during the late forenoon
w’as 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 shown on the part of bears be
cause of the approaching holidays, fol
lowed on Tuesday by the Bureau report.
Private condition reports were bullish,
all showing 10 to 11 points deterioration
for the month.
The Texas detail weather showed con
tinued high temperatures and brought
in a number of orders on the buying
side. The market will doubtless be ner
vous for the balance of the w’eek and
the disposition will probably be to even
up over the holidays.
The situation in the Southwest be
comes worse daily.
At the close the market was firm with
prices at a net advance of 16 to 23
points from the final quotations of
Tuesday.

HAYWARD & CLARK'S
DAILY COTTON LETTER
NE\Y ORLEANS, Aug. 27.—Liverpool
came in about 4 points lower thap due
on futures, but rallied in the last hour
on the strength of our markets. Spots
3 points higher, sales 5,000 bales.
Cables continue to report small busi
ness. A very unfavorable report iq
Texas and Oklahoma is expected by The
Journal of Commerce Thursday, which
together with the anticipation of a very
bullish condition forecast by the Na
tional Ginners, prompted fresh and
vigorous buying in our markets this
morning, causing an advance to 12.08
for October early in the session.
Struggling August shorts endeavor
ing to buy back their commitments
pushed this position out of line with
general values and over 1 cent above
spot^values. The map shows increasing
cloudiness in tbe Western States. Fair
in the Central Belt; cloudy with good
rains in the Coast districts and the
Atlantics; some light showers in Nortlv
w’est Texas.
Indications are very favorable to
cloudy weather and more general rains
over Texas, Oklahoma and Arkansas in
the next three day* and unsettled
showery weather coming on the Cen-
eral States with continued show’ery
weather in the Atlantics.
The market lost the early advance
when the government predictions sug
gested a change in the weather west,
but rallied again later on the strength
in New’ York where general buying from
outsiders is reported. Bullish senti
ment continues to control the market.

The best buying to-day seemed to
come from strong sources. The ring
played for a reaction yesterday and
looked as if they were short this morn
ing and ran to cover. Wilson and
Shcarson were sealding 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 1 ' sounded.

NEW ORLEANS. Aug. 27.—Hayward

creasing cloudiness, and more general

prospects of shewery wvather 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 sjme 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 hulw’ark 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 miH^trade activity. But the
basic law of commodity market is
against it.”

CATERPILLARS RUINING
COTTON IN DOUGHERTY
ALBANY. Aug 27.—J. W. Pinson,
one of the best-know’n farmers in
Southwest Georgia, who operates a large
farm in the Eastern part of Dougherty
County, reports finding caterpillers in
his cotton.
Mr. Pinson stated that his cotton had
deteriorated so much that it w’ould not
pay him to fight the pest. The dete
rioration was caused by the excessive
July rains, he said.
THE WEATHER.
Conditions.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 27—The weath-
re will be unsettled in the North At
lantic States and showers will occur
during to-night or Thursday in New’
England. In the Lake region, the Ohio
Valley and t*he Middle and Southern
States east of the Mississippi River,
the weathei will be fair during the next
36 hours
The temperature will fall to-night in
New’ England and New York State and
will rise slow’ly to-night and Thursday

tures will continue moderately high in

PRICE-CURRENT GRAIN REPORT.
CINCINNATI, Aug 27.—The drouthy
condition in the Southwest* have persist
ed rains thus far being too light to do
any good to corn and cotton. Exten
sion of damage has continued. Weather
has been excellent in the region of
Great Lakes and adjacent States and
insures the corn crop.
Weather has been favorable in the
Northwest for harvesting, and much
of the wheat and oat crop have been
gathered in North Dakota and North
Minnesota. The total w’heat crop in
the States of Minnesota. South and
North Dakota will probably fall 100,-
■000,000 bushels under last year. This
country will probably harvest a total
crop of 740 000,000 bushels of wheat in
round figures. This suggests a larger
export capacity than previous seasons,
but there are many holes to fill up in
the last year plus the amount of wheat
consumed on the farm on account of
the failure of com and partial failure
of oats in Kansas, Nebraska and South
ern Illinois.

Notes
Houston, Fible & Co., Kansas City, I
say: "Hundred degree temperatures ;
prevailing over the Southwest again
with no rain. Corn here is beyond in
jury—it is dead Presume that hot, dry
weather will curtail some corn in Iowa
and Illinois. Pastures all that remain
here to be damaged. Without rain with
in the near future there will be no fall
pasture and the feeding demand will be
that much more. Corn is being shipped
to Kansas now and retailed to farmers
at 85c a bushel.”
<* • •
Bartlett, Frazier & Co say: "Wheat
—Don’t look for much change in price.*,
although local sentiment is rather bear
ish.
"Corn—Map shows no rain and high
temperatures prevailed again yesterday
in the Southwest. We continue to feel
friendly to the market advising pur
chases on all fair setbacks.
“Oats-The course of prices will de
pend largely on whether the pressure
from the increase in offerings from the
country is to continue or not.” i

President Wilson's message on the
Mexican situation was a very sensible

2-QUART SIZE
$1.95
For the ICE-KIST all you have to do is to pour
in the cream, sherbet or whatever refreshment it
v |j n II 1 I mav ^ e - am I P ac k * n the ice as in the ordinary
I nM I w ALL freezer. Then the work is ended There is no
working a dasher, no turning a handle or
crank, no straining your armiand 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, time, trouble
and—you.
Perfect Freezing
The Ice-Hist has no dasher or
crank because it has two freezing
sur faces. The old-fashioned
freezer had only one freezing
surface—that is why a crank and
dasher were necessary. The
Ice-Kist has a rr.etal freezing
tube that extends directly through
the cream to the bottom This
gives the two freezing surfaces.
The cold penetrates from the
center ana from the outside,
too. The cream is frozen with a
smoothness that will delight you.
The I ce-Kist makes a beautiful
and perfect-frozen mold.
