The Government reported a con dition for Oklahoma of only 45 per cent of normal. “The consensus of opinion was that the local shorts had lost more money than the longs had made. "In spite of the fact that spinners had been buying prompt shipment cotton in liberal way and have not beeh buying forward supplies in normal volume for futures are now well above spots. In other words, speculative buying, not trade purchases, caused thp advance.

Mayor ‘Scared’ When Flashlight Explodes Mayor Woodward, his secretary, frank Hammond, and several visitors in his office at the City Hall had a bad scare Wednesday morning, caused by a loud explosion. They stated afterward that every one of them thought some body had been shot. Cautiously they |oowed in one room after another, fear increasing at every turn, until thev reached the health office. There they found the cause of all the excitement was the explosion of a flash light by a newspaper photographer snapping city doctors vaccinating school children. Wants Augusta to Build Light Plant AUGUSTA, Sept. 3.—Characterizing the present lighting system as inferior and alleging that the city is paying for service that it does not get, Councilman T. W. Pilcher, of the Third Ward, has gone before City Council with a reso lution providing that a committee be appointed to investigate the cost of erecting a municipal lighting plant. Mr. Pilcher says the *40.000 p«»r year the city now spends for lights would pay four per cent interest on $1,000,000 of bonds. WEEKLY WEATHER REPORT.

Local bulls determined to push prices well over the n cent mark right after the selling wave, when they claimed the Texas showers had come too late to be of any benefit to the crop and that the attitude of spinners now is of more importance "than any weather situation.

HAYWARD & CLARK’S DAILY COTTON LETTER NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 3 —Very little precipitation was shown on the w'eather map to-day, except in parts of the Caro- linas, which are under the influence of a storm formation bordering on the South Atlantic coast. Indications are for increasing cloudiness generally, showers becoming more extended in the Western territory; also probably heavy rains in the Atlantic coast districts. Cooler in the northeastern quarter of the belt. Developments are making for more general rains West within a few days. Liverpool was excited with futures at one time 21 points higher. Spots 34 points higher. Our market advanced about 10 points in the early trading, but support from leaders was lacking and futures being so much over spots brought about large hedge selling, re sulting in a good reaction to 12.82 for October. Thirteen cents at the start of the season calls for proper hacking by spot developments. There is, therefore, some hesitation until spot prices ad vance. Feeling, however, is now gener ally bullish and there is more inquiry for shipments from Europe, mainly due to the easier basis and good hedge op portunity with high futures. New ork turned into an active bull market soon after the close of Liver pool and prices have followed rapidly on smaTT buying, December selling at 13.11. There, is no opposition to the ad vance and to the bullish spirit. Unfa vorable reports of shedding, owing to insufficient rainfall, are lately on the increase from the Central States.
