REACTION AFTER
EUTJHUE
Close in New York Cotton
Steady Net 2 Points Lower to
4 Points Higher.
Ned York. —An early advance in tlie
cotton market today met considerable
realizing and reactions followed with the
close steady, net two points lower to
four points higher.
Tile ‘ epenir.g was steady at a decline
of three points on July but seven points
higher on June and unotoanged to three
poinis higher on later months in sym
pathy with steady cables and on a re
newal of the baying movement which de
veloped after tlie stopping of July no
tices vestei day. Private crop reports
appeared to h». of rather a more favor
able average but offerings were limited
and prices soon worked higher. Tlie
advance was led by July which sold up
10 1.2.93 on covering of shorts. Promi
nent spot interests to buy
July against sales of August, and Octo
ber.
The strength of the near position help
ed to steady the late months which sold
about four to seven points net higher but
realizing became more active and gen
eral in tlie late trading and closing
prices showed reactions of about three
to fve points on new crop positions
while July broke a rouple of points un
der Ist night's final figures. Accord
ing lo returns made today on yester
day's notirps about 15.000 bales were
stopped by scattering Interests whit*
rumors that additional amounts were
still to be reported suggested that there
had been more competition for the cot
ton than supposed when the notices were
issued.

NERVOUSNESS IN
JULY CHITON
Week-End Session in N. 0.
Cotton Closed at Net Gain 2
to 11 Points.
New Orleans. —The week-end session
tin the cotton market closed at a net
gain of two to eleven points. July dis
playing the most strength. Buying was
based chiefly on tlie continued hot and
dry weather over the belt and the indi
cations for little change over Sunday.
The Ju!y position showed much nerv
ousness and at one time was 19 points
up. At no time however was buying in
tills option heavy. There appeared to
he only a small interest left in it and
it was generally considered around the
ring that the greattV part of the In
terest that was left was liquidated 'by
the trading of the day.
The new crops exhibited quiet steadi
ness on that thn crop ie several sections
of the belt could not stand many days
longer of drouth and intense heat. At
their highest the new crops were six to
eight points up. Week-end profit-taking
by longs pared this advance down to
ward noon.

STOCKJRKET
Listlessness in the Two Hours
Movement of Saturday in
Only 70,000 Shares.
New York. The stock market fell
into the doldrums again today. Busi
ness during the two-hour session
amounted to about 70.000 shares and the
listless movement left little doubt of its
highly professional origin.
Prices of representative shares were
lifted fractionally above the previous
day’s closing quotations and sentiment
was more cheerful, the Claflin failure no
longer being regarded as cause for alarm.
Technically the market denoted a strong
underston. /
The day practically was devoid of im
portant news. Advices from leading
mercantile trade centers were moderate
ly optimistic.
Actual cash loss of the clearing house
banks was much in excess of all esti
mates, aggregating oYer $12,000,000,
which is a trifle more than the week’s
gold - withdrawals.
Bonds were irregular with a loss of
two points in Rock Island debenture ss.
Total sales (par value) $780,000.
Panama 2s declined 1-4 per cent on
call during the week.

KINEMATOGDAPH
HALLS JNCREASE
Compared With Other Places
of Amusement in Paris This
Form of Amusement is Most
Favorable.
Parlt.—The statistics of the receipts
of all the places of amusement in Paris
In 1913 show the formidable rivalry
of the ktneniatosraph halls to he stead
ily increasing. The total receipts ex
ceeded those of the preceding year by
$600,0110. almost all of which Is to tho
credit of the “kinomas."
The orthodox theatres, px-rliisive of
the state subventloned stage, which I
lost about $200,000 compared with 1012, |
showed an increase of over $400,000,
but I -learn this was almose entirely |
covered by the two new theatre c of |
the Champs Klysecs, one of which has |
since gone bankrupt.
Tho moving picture houscH took
nearly $1,800,000- slightly more than
the music-halls, which category of en
tertainment lost about $200,000 In the
last year compared with the previous
one. The circuses, boxing palaces,
rinks, anl dancing saloons increased
their total by nearly half tlds sum,
owing largely to the tango mania and
to wrestling and boxing tournaments
and matches. The most remarkable
signs of the times are the figures for
the subventloned theatres compared to
the arenas where physical culture In
some shape or other was in vogue.
The Coinedie Krancnise showed a de
crease of about $ 100,000, more or less,
the Odeon of $25,000, the Opera $55,000,
and the Opera Combine $32,000.
The German Shipping at
Antwerp Has Increased
London.—Sir Cecil llertslct, British
i consul general at Antwerp, reports:*
"(.Herman shipping at Antwerp has
increased, and is continuing to Increase
more rapidly than British shipping. At
the present rate of progress, only
three or four years need elapse be
fore German shipping exceeds British
!at Antwerp, and It will do so unless
active measures are adopted to retain
and increase the trade of British ves
sels vlHiling the port.
"In 1913 British shipping actually de
clined by 42 vessels and 96,207 tons,
while during the same period German
shipping increased by 78 vessels and
361,000 lons.
"This state of affairs," says Sir Ce
cil, "Is undoubtedly serious, though It
is true that British vessels (io more ac
tual trade 1. e. carry more ci#go and
bring more wealth to the port than
German vessels.”
Of course British shipping Is still
greatly in excess of that of Germany,
j The total shipping of Antwerp last
year amounted to 7,056 vessels with a
volume of 14,146,819 tons, of which 3.-
352 vessels of ti. 172,231 tons were Brit
ish, while the Germans accounted for
1,705 vessels of 4,510,522 tons.
One of the causes of the decline of
British - shipping was the transfer of
some of the Bed Star liners from the
British to the Belgian Hag.
AN IDLE WISH.
I wish T were a millionaire,
Engaged in coupon clipping;
I wish iny prospects all were fair—
Ah, wouldn't that lie ripping!
I wish I might he wealthy and
Could hold smne high position;
But somewhere in this favored land
A hoy, with worms all safely canned,
Is Idithly "goln' flshin'.”
I wish that I might he rich and great.
Without a care to fret me;
I’d like to guide the ship of state,
If other men would let me.
But as at my desk 1 toil away,
-Urged by a hard condition.
And somewhere in this land today
A boy, with worms lured from the clay
Is bllthly "goln' flshin'.'’
Mow futile are the wishes which
Within my mind are lurking—
I am not great, I am not rich,
1 have to keep on working.
I long for wealth and fame; hut, oh!
I cannot keep from wlshln'
I tyere the boy who gets the hoe
And digs the worms he needs to go
Down to the crick a-flshln’.

John a/tcGraw Says No Team Need Have
Pennant hopes Unless It Has a Second
Team to Take Up the First One's Burdens
New York. —John McGraw, of this,
town, seems to have said something |
when he remarked that a baseball
team is only as strong as its secou
d.try defense and that no team need
have any pennant hopes unless it is
equipped with a second team that
can take up the finst team's burden
immediately and efficiently.
One of tile reasons for the success
of tho Giants is the tact that McGraw
always has aimed to have a set of
substitutes who could jump into the
shoes of the regulars'and perform in
equal style. Many fans and mana
gers often have thought ihat McGraw
was wasting money when he spent
huge sums simply to acquire substi
tutes, hut the wisdom of Jiis actions
have been shown.
Giant Shortstop.
Fletcher, thy Giant regular short
stop, sustained injuries that put him
out of the game for a lengthy period
this season just at a time when tho
Giants were lighting to hold their
first place position. Fletcher was a
bulwark of strength to the Giants’
infield. The Giants’ rival figured
that with Fletcher on the shelf the
infield would become wobbly and the
Giants would hit the chutes.
lint they didn’t —because Mcc.raw
has Eddie Grant in reserve. Grant
jumped Into the game mid played In
a way that m.ido the loss of Fletcher
almost unnoticed. He fielded In
brilliant style and hatted up around
the .300 mark.
Merltle, the Giants’ first sucker,
was forced out of the game on ac
count of "Charley horse.” But his ab
sence' wits hardly felt. McGraw haul
ed Snodgrass in from the outfield and
placed him on first, where he Is a.l
most as good as in the gardening job.
and then McGraw filled Snod a place
in the field with one of the three
extra outfielders that he has been
carrying.
Payroll Cluttered Up.
It. clutters up the Giants’ payroll
to carry several extra outllelders, in
fielders, catchers and a second string
of pitchers, but in the long run it re
turns a profit for the GlantH. If the
regular team goes to the hospital tho
second team comes to the Tore and
keeps the team up In the race. The
business of sticking at the top or
near the top always means good
crowds when Ihe Giants are one part
of the attraction, and the increased
attendance more than makes up for
the $15,000 or $25,000 that is added
to the annual payr\ll through the car
rying of extra players.
Further than tills, the fact that the
Giants’ second team can take up the
fight when the first team is incapaci
tated, has on five occasions resulted
in the Giants winning Ihe pennant
and grabbing off huge slices of the
world series money.
Mack Extra Room.
Connie Mack Is another exponent
of thq strong second team Idea. And
Connie, as many may remember, has
won so many pennants and world se
ries Hags that he’s had to build an
extra room In his home In which to
slore them. Last season Connie was
criticised by some persons who figur
ed that he was carrying too many
men, especially pitchers, on his pay
roll, hut the wisdom of It soon be
came apparent. When Blank and
Bender, l#ls two dependable veterans,
failed to lilt. Ii winning stride early
In the year, Connie trotted out his
youthful hurlers snd tho kljls came
through with flying colors.
When Ira Thomas and Jack Lapp,
Connie’s two veteran catchers, sag
god oTf because of overwork. Connie
pushed the youthful Mr. Schang to
the front. He was the same Mr.
Hchang that a lot of people thought
wouldn’t, amount, to a darn, and who
wasn’t going to he any more helpful
to the Athletics than lo relieve them
of some of their funds every two
weeks.
Schang Debutted.
Well, In a crisis, Schang debutted,
and even before Ills wonderful work
In the world series game, the sport
ing experts voted him as the best
young catcher of many seasons
The Cleveland Naps are an In
stance of how a team that Is of
championship calibre will go to pieces
without a strong second team. The
Naps last year gave the Athletics a
fight nearly all the way, and probably

would have won the pennant and
horned into the world series if it had
been equipped with a strong bundle
of substitutes.
It was during the latter part of the
season wuen the terrific pace was
beginning to tell on the Athletics
and they began to wobble, Plank and
Bender were going bad and the team
was ofT in its hitting and its field
ing on the bush league order. Cleve
land's chances to slip into first place
were of the brighter. And then in
juries forced and Birmingham
out of the game.
Wrecked the Naps.
The absence of I.ajoie and Birming
ham wrecked the Naps' chances.
They did not have t wo men to replace
their pair of disabled stars. They
had only an ordinary infielder and a
weak hitter to put Into Lajoie’s place
and only an ordinary fielder to re
place Birmingham. The result was
that, the team that, had been going
along at a terrific clip bt o an to falter.
The machine work of the infield,
without Lajoie, was gone. And the
Naps floundered aa badly as the Ath
letics and couldn't gain a point d»
spite the fact that the Athletic*
slumped so badly for nearly two
weeks that had the Naps got even
just a little better than an even break
In their games they would have jump
ed into the lead.
Pittsburg has a wonderful first
team this year, but it any of the regu
lars are forced out by injuries it
means the breaking up of the combi
nation. for the Pirates are not very
well fortified with substitutes. It's
Ihe snme way with the Tigers. Take
a man out of their present infield or
deprive them of any of their regular
outfielders, and the Tigers instead of
looking like a pennant contender,
takes up the aspect of a second rate
foam.
The Cincinnati Reds this year hove
been hurtling along like a 14-In<h
shell. Their ipltchers are going well,
flic Infield and outfield combinations
are performing in spectacular style.
But looking over the list of substi
lutcs one finds that the Reds haen't
a second man to compare in any way
with ,*,nv of the Tlrst. team. This
means that if Injury, illness or an
Impire removes one of the Red regu
lars from the game it probably will
smash the winning comh,l»>atlon.
And so from the all we can ob
serve of the it resent and the past, we
quite agre. with this McGraw per
sonage that a team is only as strong
ns its secondary defense and that any
manager nursing pennant hope 3 had
better bather into himself a second
team that'B almost as good as the
first.
NOT THE WORBT INVESTMENT.
Yet the woman who invested $26,-
(100 In a cattery is making a better
Investment than the gentleman who
sinks huge sums in an occasional kit
