NEW YORK COTTON
New York. —The cotton market showed
a steadier tone early today. Liverpool
was relatively steady over the American
holiday and the local market after open
ing steady at unchanged prices to a de
cline of four points sold three ov four
points above Saturday’s closing figures.
Offerings were light enough to suggest
that the heavy selling last week had
1 een much reduced the long Interest and
there was probably some fresh buying
as well as covering on rather unfavor
able private evop reviews and the fail
ure of the weather map to show further
rains in sections recently complaining of
dry hot ewather.
After selling about ten to sixteen
points net higher during the middle of
the morning on covering and buying for
a reaction the market became less active
and prices eased off a few points from
the oest following the detailed weather
v ports showing good rains iiv<he east
ern belt. , ,
The vain reports failed to inspire much
selling and the market soon steadied
again on renewed covering, with active
months ruling about nine to sixteen
points net higher during the middle or
tJ:e afternoon.
Cotton futres closed steady.

Interesting Every-Day People—The Old
Miner.
Hr. was a stopped old man with a
fringe of itray hair about his bald head,
bushy gruy eyebrows over deep-sunk
e es. a scraggly pray mustache.
Ills face was thin, deeply furrowed;
his form. lean, sinewy.
But his blue eyes under the overhang
ing brows had an intensity, a fire, some
what at variance with the lined face
and old bent figure.
He was a miner, and he was working
a claim at Candle, two hundred miles
north of Nome. Alaska.
He had gone almost to the top edge of
the earth in his pursuit of gold. And
be had been tollowlng Its yellow lure
ever sinre ’49.
More than sixty years ago when the
rows of gold in California had stirred
the world, he had left his home In the
Hast and thrown In his fortunes with
tl e Argohuats. If enthusiasm still burns
in his eyes what must have been their
light then, as with a crowd of adven

He ' rossed the Isthmus In the days of
swamps and fevers and Indian canoes.

NEW ORLEANS COTTON
New Orleans.—Cotton futures opened
steady at a loss of one to two points to
day. Heavy buping set in and the mar
ket spurted upward, standing nine to
'he end of the first half hour.
The forecast of continued dry weather
further stimulated buying and at noon
prices were fourteen to fifteen points up.
CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET
Chicago. -Unfavorable weather in the
spring crop region bad a Dullisir effect
today on wheat. Exceptionally heavy
receipts of new winter wheat tended,
however, to acl as an offset. The open
ing. which varied from half a 5-8 off
to 3-8 advance was followed by a ma
terial rise all around, then the gain en
tirely disappeared and July underwent a
decided sag.
Heavy selling by commission houses
broke the price of corn. After starting
unchanged to 3-8 lower quotations ral
lied somewhat and then went sharply
downgrade.
Complaints of rust held oats relatively
steady.
Higner prices for lings had only tem
porary Influence on provisions.
December wheat prices touched a new
low level sets the crop but a liberal de
crease in the visible supply helped cause
a reaction. The close was steady at 5-8
to 5-Ba3-4 net decline.
Assertions that ttie largest yield ever
known in Nebraska was assured count
ed against corn bulls, Dut black rust re
ports brought a rally. Corn closed firm
t-4a3-8 to 5-8 net higher.

throughout the session, selling about 10,-
000 shares of Union Pacific. Reading and

stagnant at midday with only the merest
fractional changes in the leaders.

THE AUGUSTA HERALD, AUGUSTA, GA.
COTTON THIS WEEK
New Orleans. —The cotton market lost
thia last week 36 to 37 points on fu
tures, compared with the close of the
preceding week. Selling was heavy from
liquidating longs and considerable short
cotton was placed. The main features
that stimulated offerings were the con
dition report on Wednesday, the showers
and low temperatures In (he belt to
ward the end of the week and the poor
cable reports from Liverpool.
Bears considered that the crop Im
proved as the result of the weather con
ditions of the week and that while the
condition figures of 79.6 per cent, were
higher than expected the percentage of
condition was higher at the end of the
week than it was on June 25th, the date
to which the government figures car
ried the crop. Bulls were not favor
abb impressed by the rainfall of the
week which, on the whole, was light.
This next week the trade is going to
pay more attention to the matter of
rainfall over the belt than to any other
thing. Good rains and normally high
temperatures will probably cause liberal
selling while a return to dvoughty con
ditions and high temperatures would
probably result iu renewed aggressive
ness among the bulls.
There were Indications on the close
of last week that cable news might im
prove in some respects this coming
week. Large tenders have been against
the market recently but a private mes
sage stated that all tenders were being
stopped which ought to result in a bet
ter feeling.
WEEK Tn’ViNANCE
New York.—There is a sense of relief
in stock market circles over the passing
of the dullest June, as to volume of busi
ness. In twenty years. Bonds were In
better demand at higher levels, due to
activity In a few low' grades affected by
re-organizations and to reinvestment of
mid-year interest and dividend pay
ments. The firm undertone signalized
the feeling that probably will lead into
the future. The market’s resistance to
the previous week’s shock of the Claflln
failure tfnd last week's Austrian tragedy
emphasised (his feeling.
Growing realization of the influence
on business of the prodigious grain crops
in prospect helped materially.
Enormous sales of the new wheat for
export coqfivmed reports of foreign
shortage, coincident with our abundance.
The government cotton estimate proved
the previous month’s deficiency in con
dition mostly made up. This assurance
of extraordinary increase in the year’s
production of primary wealth reacted on
all departments of business and industry.
This factor was supplemented by the
faint hope that the freight rate decision
would be known before the resumption of
another week’s trading. Remaining un
certainty on the seope and tenor of the
decision whh n partial restraint In specu
lative activity, but in tbe final days of
the week sentiment became more cheer
ful as a result of the conference be
tween President Wilson and th repre
sentative of a leading banking Interest.
Portentous piling up of gold in Paris
gives security for the success of next
week’s French loan issue, and other
money markets relapsed Into ease after
the July Ist requirements. The French
loan. It is expected, will lead to other
issues which will bring out Investment
capital and release the severe conges
tion of resources of the great credit
banks In short time securities.
Mexico, Ulster, Albania and trust leg
islation receded into the background,
without entirely dropping out of consid
eration. *
HOW THE GIANTS ARE
TURNING THE TRICK
New York.—-One of the big secrets of
the success of tlie r.iants is their ability
to rise up 111 a crisis and soak solidly
upon the knob any and all contenders for
first place honors.
It has been the ease this year. It was
the ease Inst year and In nearly all the
other years that Mcflraw has held the
reins. The sudden strength shown by
the Clients against strong teams, Imme
diately following a period of floundering,
seems almost uncanny.
The Pirates breezed along at a merry
clip eurly this season. It seemed noth
ing could stop them. The (Hants, in
the meantime had been Just merely
ambling along. finally the (Hants wan
dered Into Pittsburg for a four-game sc
ries with the Pirates. On past showings
It looked like three out of four or four
straight for the (Hants. But It ended
Just the other way. The -Giants sur
prised everybody by whirling around and
delivering a crushing blow upon the
domes of the Pirates.
The Cincinnati Reds started on their
recent western trip Just a few games be
hind the first place Giants. The Reds
against the Braves, Phillies and Dodgers
fared mighty well. They played good,
consistent Baseball. The Giants, In the
meantime, had a mighty Job getting an
even break with the Pirates, Cardinals
and Cubs who had preceded the Reds
at the Polo grounds.
Then the Reds came along. A “croo
clal serine" was In prospect. Pour
straight would put the Reds In first
place, while three out of four would put
them only a few points from the top. It
looked rosy for the Reds for they had
been playing real baseball while the
Giants for the two weeks previous had
been Just lumering through their games.
Well, the Reds came,—and the Giants
whaled the daylights out of them. The
Reds threatened to oust them from first
place and the Giants stiffened their
backbones, cleared the decks for action
and took the entire series. The Giants
hadn't been able to do much against
the other three western teams that came,
lint Just as soon as the team came along
that was in the runner-up position they
gavp that team an almighty healing, and
incidently. Increased their hold on first
place.
In T 913 It was the Phillies who proved
to be the Giant's most formidable foes
throughout the year. The Giants had
considerable trouble beating the so-cull
ed weaker teams, which the Phillies
walloped with ease and dispatch, but
every time the Giants met the Phillies
It meant a beautiful beating for the
Quaker town gang And so It was in
1912 and 1911. The (Hants found It
rattier rough sledding when they bump
ed the weukfT clubs, hut Just ns soon as
they slacked up against real opposition
against clubs that threatened to oust
them from the top they played like
fiends,—and won.

Chamberlain’s Funeral
Birmingham, Eng. —The body of
Joseph Chamberlain, for many years
a prominent figure In British politics,
was burled today In Hookley Ceme
tery In the conatltueney he long rep
resented In the house of commons. A
memorial service was attended by the
lord mayor of Birmingham, members
of the city council and other civic
dignitaries.
Apart from the civic element the
mourners at both the church and cem
etery consisted solely of the members
of the Chamberlain family, as the late
statesman had expressed the desire
that his funeral should be free from
everything of a Public nature.
Nothing however could prevent a
great crowd of the citizens of Bir
mingham, among whom Joseph Cham
berlain was a popular hero, from lin
ing the route along which the funeral
passed from (he dead statesman's res
idence at Highbury to the church and
from there to the cemetery.

London, —All the provisions for Sir

SEVEN
cial arrangements between the owners
and the holders of tickets in the Cal
cutta Sweepstakes. This lottery, the
greatest'of its kind in the world, is
controlled by 'the Calcutta Turf Club,
and the first prize is never less than
a quarter of a million dollars. Hugs
prizes go to the drawers of the second
and third horses and there are con
solation prizes of $2,500 for the holder
of a ticket which secures a starter.
Attention.
The Jockey Club have given exhaus
tive attention to the subject ami have
had conversations with stewards of
the Calcutta Turf Club. Tho latter
body hits the matter under consider
ation and have promised to omit
clauses In the rules of the sweepstakes
which might lend tin Inducement to
owners to run horses, which otherwise
might not be started.
What happened, I understand, was
tills: The holder of a ticket drawing
a horse entered in the race was ap
proached. “I've drawn your horse. lj[
It starts I get $2,500. I'll give you
half If you start It and if It wins you
can have $50,000 out of prize money.”
An authority on these matters tells
me that It Is likely that the Calcutta
Turf Club will refrain from cabling
to people successful in tho draw until
ll Is too late for them to make any
secret arrangements with owners r>*
horses in tile race.

tin; bulk necessary to keep the organs

Vo that, sclenttcaUy considered. It is
the finest that has ever been devised.
I hope that this time hunger will play
a very small Part In our troubles.”
As the party intends to cut right
across the continent, a march of 1800
tulles, they will have to carry all their
food with them, and cannot like pre-'
vloits explorers, whose objective was
the |iole, depend upon food depots on
the return march. Therefore the great
