Advance Carried New Crop
Positions to New High Ground
For Season.
New York.—ln advance today which
eavried new crop positions Into new high
ground for the season the cotton mar
ket displayed pronounced activity in
which bfiying for southern account was
a conspicuous feature, attending reports
of further excessive rains and bad crop
prospects in Texas. The market closed
firm at 6 to 19 points higher and only
a little under top fotr the day.
A surprisingly firm Liverpool market,
attributed to covering and the removal
of hedges in resopnse to reports that 12,-
000 bales of cotton had been destroyed
by ftre at Galveston started the buying
movement on this side.
First prices showed advances of five
to ten points. The advance received
further impulse from bullish weather
dispatches, notably from Texas where
it was still raining with a prospect that
unsettled and showery conditions would
prevail over Sunday. With the advance
there also came a general increase on
the outside buying and an active cov
ering movement, particularly in new
crops by Wail street interests. Liver
pool and local shorts were leading buy
ers of the old crops.
Unsettled and showery weather in the
western belt and generally fair condi
tions in the East were contained in the
official forecasts. On the advance May
reached 13 cents while all new crop
months but January crossed the 12-cent
level.

All New Orleans Conditions
Saturday Were of Decidedly
Bullish Character.
New Cleans. —Prices in the local cot
ton market today moved up 17 points
on August and 13 to 14 points on all
other positions. Every condition af
fecting the market was of a bullish
character. Liverpool came in at a 3
1-2 English points improvement and
with a continued full line of spots sales,
while the demand for spinnable cotton
on this side was undiminished in volume
with buyers willing to ipake concessions.
There was very little Improvement in
the weather position in the greater
portion of the belt. These influences
combined to develop a renewal interest
in the long side of the markt and free
buvlfig sent prices up with a fair degree
of steadiness throughout the day. %

LISTLESSNESS
IN ILJJTREET
Stocks Depressed Saturday By
Foreign Markets. Slight
Losses at End.
New Lork.—The most direct influence
brought to bear upon the stock market
today was from abroad. London re
ported selling there by Paris, which in
turn was attributed to unsatisfactory
financial conditions in Russia.. Am
erican stocks were depressed sharply in
London. Speculation here was lifeless,
and at the opening the list followed the
line of least resistance by easing off to
about the level reached in the English
market. At the lower range a better
demand arose, and tho decline wns
quickly cancelled. The movement there
after was narrow and variable, with a
majority of slight losses at the end.
Sentiment was cheerful. The weekly
ITade reviews reflected this spirit, which
s based more upon expectation than
upon visible improvement. In some
branches of business, it was said, dis
tinct betterment was evident, but
changes were slow. Continued favorable
weather for the growing crops and the
strength of the investment position in
dicated by the readv absorption of stock
and bond issues also supported bulljsh
opinion.
The bank statement did not come up
to expectations. Large cash gain had
been predicted but the amount shown in
the actual table was less than $3,090,000.
The loan expansion of $22,723,000 re
flected the large syndicate operations of
the week. The surplus reserve fell off
by nearly $2,000,000.
Trading in bonds was quiet. Tho
course of prices was irregular. Some
strength appeared in Rock Island col
laterals. Total sales of bonds $910,000.

Good Story Told About
the Prince of Wales
London—Women gossips to to whom
such things appeal arc telling a little
story today of how the Prince of
Wales went Into a paper shop In Ox
ford recently and asked for an Illus
trated paper they had In the window,
"the one with the picture of Princess
Elizabeth of Roumanla.”
It Is also significant that when
Queen Mary visited her famous aunt
at Htrelitz lately, she met Princess
Elizabeth of Roumanla, whose en
gagement to Prince George of Greece,
the second son of the king, Is an
nounced ns broken off.
Queen Mary took a great fancy
her and ever since has kept up a
correspondence with the princess.
Princess Elizabeth Is the most seri
ous minded girls of her age In Euro
pean courts and she is extremely
clever. Moreover, she 1s one of the
handsomest foreign prlnresses of thy
day, as befits the daughter of the
crown princess of Roumanls, who Is
the acknowledged beauty of all the
European courts. Ho there may be
something In the gossips' anticipa
tions.

penditure of $500,000, he has discover
ed how to manufacture plate porce
lain at $35 a ton in any size up to
ten by fifteen feet, lie would make
all parts of his ship porcelain except
the framework and sides.
Mr. Turner points out the advantage
of the new material as regards cheap
ness, cleuniiness and permanence.
It is chenper than any of Its rivals,
It harbors no vermin, It can be clean
ed by washing, the decoration can tie
supplied at the time of manufacture,
and will never need renewing, and it
will never need painting.
Kucli a ship could, bo washed up
like a china cup.
Porcelain Is practically everlasting.
Tiles at Nankin 4,000 years old are as
good as new. If a ship’s hull had to
be scraped the porcelain could bo tak
en out and used for another vessel.
In addition fire risks cbuld be re
duced to a minimum and fire insur
acen premiums reduced.
“It would require a $300,000 factory
to manufacture plate porcelain on
standardized lines for ships' use,” suid
Mr. Turner, "and as the climate on
the Thames is favorable, also the cost
of raw materials, why not onco more
build our ocean liners there?”
Garters to Take Place
of Petticoats; Latest
London. -Garters which take the
place of petticoats are the latest in
vention of fantastic fashion.
These have been devised by a wcll
knowr\ firm and are now to ho bought
In the West End of London.
The "faked petticoat” part Is a frill
of lace of a cobwebby pattern about 4
In. or 6 In. In depth. The frill of the
garter Is about three-quarters of a
yard around. The garter petticoat Is
ornamented with little bows of ribbon
and chiffon of the bebe kind.
Home of the faked petticoats, how
ever, are trimmed with horseshoes
made of ribbons and chiffon, and are
thus "lucky" petticoats.
A novelty petticoat which starts
Just above the knee and finishes Just
above the ankle pleased the fancy of
Ihc women who have seen It. It Is to
be worn with u draped teagown or an
evening gown.

And- blithely shout.

Begin to sprout.

DOG SAGACITY
ALMOST HUMAN
The Most Remarkable Canine
Penetration As Related in
Paris.
Paris. —-.Some remarkable instances
of canlno sagacity wero related here
today,
A love-sick maiden resolved that
life was not worth living after a quar
rel with her swain, and, walking down
to the quay at Bercy, straddled over
the parapet. A big dog happened to
see her, and Immediately seized hor
skirts, but the girl was already over
and dragged the dog with her. Once
in the water he got the better of the
struggle and dragged her back to the
shore, where ho held her until people
came up. As soon ns the animal saw
she was In sale keeping, he shook
himself, wagged bis tail, and trotted
off, without anybody knowing where
lie came from or whither be went.
Police Dog.
Even better than this is the exploit
of a police dog which arrested two
apaches by himself, after one of them
had shot down his master. Rushing
after the ruffians the dog threw one
so heavily that he remained senseless
and then flying at tho throat of the
other pinned him till tho human
“agents" arrived on the seeene.
“Rip” was and is a "griffon," a
long-haired sort of pointer or sheep
dog whom his master gave to a vet
erinary to get rid of. This was in
September, 1012, at Rouen. The vet
erinary soon utter gave the dog to
a carrier from faux. "Rip's” first
owner changed houses In Rouen In
October, and afterwards bought a bus
iness and went to live at Bihovel. He
had long slnee left off thinking about
"Hip" when (lie faithful beast, worn
almost to a skeleton, turned up Imp
week on bis doorstep. How he dis
covered and tracked down bis master
after eighteen months Is "Rip's" own
seeret. It Is pleasing to be able to
adit that lie Is now prime favorite, and
will never again be given away.
Chimpanzee.
Before leaving for America, a Pa
risian antiquary left Ills precious col
lections In a private house In charge
of the concierge. On Monday ttio lat
ter li nrd strange noises on tho fli'Ht
floor, In the drawing-room and Bent
for tlio police, who loosened a dog in
side the house.
Following up tho animal, they found
it holding guard over a fine chim
panzee, which was seated on the top of
a sideboard chattering protestations.
It was soon soon that the monkey had
entered by the drawing-room window
and broken several valuable pieces of
Venetian glass set with translucent
enamels, valued al $(j(IO.
The monkey belonged to a neighbor
and allowed itself to ho quietly cap
turned and taken hack to the owner,
who promised to compensate the anti
quary. It reminds one of Poe’s "Mys
tery of the Rile Morgue,” though the
incident is shorn of the tragedy in that
masterpiece.
Pet Dogs More Popular
Among London Women
London. —The pet dog 1h more pop
ular thun ever among smart women
this season. Lust year there was
some talk of the cat ousting my lady's
canine favorites and several were seen
in the park on leads! Hut this year,
ns far as present Indications
doggie reigns supreme.
The favorite breeds nre the tiny
Yorkshire terrier and the Pekinese —
Poms not being nearly so popular as
they were. There Is ut least one wqjlj
known dog shop In the West End
where "manicure," shampooing, clip
ping and grooming are made a spe
cialty of, and It excites reflection to
see In tfco morning a long line of car
riages and autos bringing the pam
pered creatures to have their toilette
performed.
Small monkeys as pets are also
quite popular with a lot of women
now, but these are not at all easy to
rear and are distinctly dangerous and
unpleasant to any but their actual
owners. No Jdtrnlon society woman,
however, has yet copied the example
of the famous French dancer, who
keeps a small pig, or the still more
famous Parisian actress, who at. one
time had a penchant for young leop
ards.

German Prince Does’nt
Want Paris Fashions
Eldest Son of Kaiser Looks
Like Developing Into a
Leader of Society.
Berlin.—The dashing and somewhat
irresponsible eldest son of the Kaiser
looks like developing into a leader of
German fashion, If his Teutonic sub
jects can muster up courage to keep
pace with his eccentricities. The
story is told here that the recalcit
rant heir to the throne has just done
something which lute won tho appro
val of his august father. He has in
vented a new collar stud which Effec
tually eliminates all bad language
from tho morning toilette.
And now I learn that the Crown
Prlnco hus had the temerity to defy
hi stailor, who evidently wanted to
garb the royal youth after tho latest
Parisian mode. It, is well-known that
he shares his father’s passion for
uniform. Tho only civil dress he af
fects Is a dinner jacket. Recently
lie ordered his tailor to make ona
with moire silk facings and silk elas
tic buttons to keep the Jacket half
buttoned. The tailor ventured to re
mark that this was no longer fash
ionable, showing him the latest Paris
fashions.
“I don’t want Paris fashions, and
I don't want Paris buttons,” said tho
Prince. Tile tailor hastily hid the
fashion plate, and the Prince appear
e I in tho dinner jacket, which makes
the tailor wince every time he thinks
of it, and the Princo’s friends every
time they see It.
LETTER PERFECT.

"Well, tho only phrnso he knows is,
'Glmmo tho money.’ He speaks that
fluently."
