New York Higher Liverpool cables
and apprehensions of continued hot
weather in the South accounted for an
opening advance of two to six points in
the cotton market today and active
months sold about six to eight points
net higher during the early trading.
Sentiment however seemed to be unset
tled to some extent by the financial
troubles of onk of the larger dry goods
jobbing houses and the market eased off
a few points toward the middle of the
morning under realizing and scattering
pressure.
A private crop report published later in
the mornig made the condition of the
crop 78 per cent and indicated a de
crease of 1.5 per cent in acreage but the
market remained mere or less unsettled
with prices about three to five points
net higher shortly after midday. .
The failure of bullish crop and weath
er news lo inspire a broadening demand
seemed to disappoint some of the early
buyers and the market was easier during
the afternoon with active months selling
off to or a shade under last night's clos
ing prices.

NEW ORLEANS COTTON
New Orleans.—Cotton did better today
In tbe early trading. First prices were
five to seven points up and the advance
was quickly widened to seven to nine
points. Reports of a large dry goods
failure had no bearish influence on
values.
The forecast of continued fair and
warm weather was a sustaining lnflu
cne and in the trading up to noon prices
went to a level eight to ten points up.

NEW YORK STOCK MARKET
New York. —The business of the first
hour on the stock exchange was prob
ably the largest for any similar period
this year. The failure of the Claflin Dry
Goods firm brought wide declines. It
was believed that considerable stock was
thrown over by discouraged holders. Ma
terial concessions were apparent in such
stocks as May Department Stores and
American Woolens. \
Before noon United Dry Goods pre
ferred fell to 68 1-8. Various obscure
issues fell H to 2 points but higher
grade stocks inclined to steadiness.
All the excitement of the morning
session wore off later, when trading be
came very dull.
In the meantime standard stocks bad
made up most of their early losses, while
the Inactive issues showed little or no
change.
Bonds were heavy,' the feature being
the sale of s4ol,oQfl par value of N»w Or
leans. Mobile and Chicago railroad 5s at

All in the Line of the Latest
Dope In Sports
New York. —Jim Mitchell, of our town,
and one of the greatest weight heavers
that ever did any heaving, almost fought
a- duel once. It happened In Stock
holm, hack in 7 912, and the near
gory facts have just come to light.
Jim who is a trifle larger than the
Woolworth building, went over with the
American contingent for the purpose of
‘'covering" the contests for one of the
American papers. Among Jim’s duties
was that of snap-shooting any import
ant incidents of the doings.
It so happened that one afternoon Jim,
who was in the second row in the grand
stand, wanted to get a picture of the
King of Sweden. An excited little
Frenchman had the seat just in front of
the huge Mitchell and every time that
Mitchell got the Kingly form right In fo
cus the French man would bob back, and
forth and spoil the sight.
Mitchell endured the bobbing process
in patience for more than a minute and
then, exasperated, he reached out'with
his huge left arm. picked the little
Frenchman off his feet and tucked
Frenchle in the hallow of left arm. Hold
ing him this way with one arm, Mitchell
was able to train the camera with his
other hand and snap the King just as ho
was passing out of focus.
The picture taken, Mitchell extricated
the Frenchman from under h : s arm and
dropped him hack Into his seat. The
Frenchman, without a word, scampered
away from his seat and out of the
stands. About 20 minutes later another
Frenchman came along, sought out
Mitchell, and shoved a card at him.
"What’s this?” thundred Mitchell,
fingering the pasteboard which hove a
French name.
"Ket ees zee name of zee gentleman
you have Insulted" replied the French
man. "His honaire has been fnsulted.
He challenge you to zee duel."
‘,‘Say. you don’t mean that little jump
ing jack that sat In front of me. do
you?" asked Mitchell, not being sure of
tiie identity of the person whom he was
supposed to have insulted.
“I mean, sir, zee grand gentleman
who sat in zee seat in zee front of zee.
I say, hees honor has been Insult and
you shall pay in see duel.”
Prizefighters As Temperamental As Prima
Donnas; You Musi Humor Some
and Browbeat Others
New York.—Prize fighters are, as tem
peramental as prima donnas and almost
as hard to manage In the opinion of
Jimmy Dime of Newcastle, Pa., who
has heen In the business of managing
and training fighters almost since the
time that Chris Columbus cast anchor oft
Sandy Hook or wherever it was he did
cast anchor.
“They’re a hard bunch to handle un
less you Just get the knack of It," de
clares Dime, who at present, has as big
a "stable" as any man in the country.
"Some of 'em you've got to humor.
Others you have to browbeat. You have
to study their temperaments and figure
out Just the right method for each.
When you discover the method and ap
ply It, the rest Is easy.
“ ‘Blf Dan' Dailey, the heavyweight In
my string, used to have a fondness for
pastry, with cream puffs as his particu
lar specialty. Everybody knows that
pastry Isn't good for fighters. I told
Dan so but he said he guessed it would
n't hurt him. Finally I forbid bis eat
ing pastry. Hut be used to slip away

next day when Iran called for cream
puffs he got them. But he noticed a
peculiar flavor about them. The delic
ious flavor was gone. And he kept no
thing that peculiar flavor every time
he eate the cream puffs. Pretty soon
he decided thut cream puffs did not
agree with him. And he quit. The
flavor that he noticed was alum, which
had been Injected In the cream puff.

The talking machine is robbing
composer,, of some of their individ
uality.
As tut illustration: At an nptown
vaudeville theatre the orchestra was
playing Dvorak’s “Humoresque.”
“What is that?" asked a young man
of his feminine companion.
“Why don’t you know?” she return
ed. “That’s Micha Elman.”—New
Morning Telegram,
"Oil. that's who you mean, eh'” grin
ned Mitchell. "That little geezer! Say,
are you his’ second?"
"I have zee great honaiVe, sir.”
"Well, look here.” said Mitchell. "I
don't know much about this here duel
ling business—that is. the rules of tlie
game. ’Pel 1 me, who chooses the
weapons.”
"Zee gentleman who ees Is challenged
makes zee choice,” replied the Freneh
inan. "Ken thees case, sir, you shall
choose. Name zee weapons, sir, name
zee weapons.”
Mitchell stretched himself to his full
eight first, expanded his enormous chest,
and then, leaning almost half way over
so that he could gui his lips close to the
Frenchman's ear. he bellowed:
‘‘Battle axes—battle axes, t ohose hat
lie axes, you little frog-eater. Do we
duel?"
They didn’t.
John K. Tener, the National League
pVexy, seems to have hit on a splendid
little plan for abolishing rowdyism on
the field. Tener, In a letter to all lea
gue presidents, suggested that they
“dock” all tlie players during the time
of their suspension.
if Tenor's scheme Is put Into use It
surely will do much lo eliminate rowdy
ism. In the past, when players were
suspended, they continued to draw their
salaries. But If the owners decide not
to pay them while they are In forced
retirement, it's something of a cinch that
the players will curb their tongues and
remain in the game.
While on the subject of rowdylHm one
might remark that another of the pre
dictions of organized baseball, concern
ing the Federal League, has failed to
come true.
Before the present season opened the
O B.| persons declared that the Federal
teams were composed mostly of rowdies
who never could remain In the game for
more than a week al a time. They pre
dicted that the Fed game would he so
rowdylsh that the funs would becor*o
disgusted.
However, up to the present fewer Fed
eral League players have been chased
from the game so far this season than
players In cither the American or Na
tional Leagues.
