New York.—Apprehensions of con
tinued dry weather and higher tempera
tures in the southwest over Sunday were
considered chiefly responsible fc ic the
advance in today’s cotton market while
\ living mnv also have been encouraged
to ron e extent by rather better reports
fi'in the domestic goods trade. Prices
sold some 29 to 30 points above the low
level of i lie v.fck on new crop positions
and the market closed steady at a net

WEEK IN COTTON
New York. -Selling has not been so
heavy ami aggressive as It was right
after the publication of the July bureau,
hut the cotton market hRS been unset
tled during the past week and prices
have made new low ground for the
.movement with October contracts sell
ing $5 per hale ttnder the high records
of June Ist. The decline has been ac
companied by more or less bearish talk
ti local ctrcies, and predictions of still
lower prices have evidently been en
couraged by unfavorable trade advices,
good wheather over the gveatr part of
>l;e belt*- and nn impression that the
prop has continued to Improve since the
government secured the data for the
ast condition report.
The smaller exports of cotton goods
for the month of June as shown bv Brit
ish hoard of trade returns and the talk
of curtailment among domestic mills,
leading to predictions of a falling off In
supply and distribution figures for the
past month, have figured In bearish pre
dictions hut there has been some un
easiness as to the crop outlook In Texas,
of which verv little rain has fallen since
the middle of June. Scattering show
ers have been reported In that section
during the past two or three days but
thev have not been sufficiently heavy or
general entirely to relieve apprehension*,
white some traders have taken the short
time recommendations of the governing
committee of the International Bplnnsws'
Federation ns Ind'ratlng a slack In the
Immediate demand and a desire to in
fluence raw material markets. The sit*
uitlon In this respect, combined with
hull predictions of an Increasing demand
from spinners around the 12-cent level
has probably restricted fresh offering;
■ the short Account on the decline ana
cemed to he largely responsible for t«-
dav's rally of some fifteen or twenty
points from the lowest.

DID THEJDYING
Thought Market Oversold and
Reaction Due. Close at Gain
6 to 7 Points.
New Orleans.—Short covering. in
rather large volume, was the main feat
ure of the week-end session in the cot
ton market. This covering was stimu
lated chiefly by drnugthy conditions in
Texas and the forecast of fair weather
for that state over Sunday. Reports
Prom several important counties were
that the crop was beginning to suffer
for want of moisture and that continued
drouth would he serious. Bulls, who
thought the market oversold, went to
buying on the theory that a reaction
was due and prices, after a sight tie
nression around the opening, did better
at their best standing eight to nine
ovefr yesterday’s last quotations. The
close was at a net gain of six to seven
points.
To some extent bull aggressiveness
was checked by the small spot sales in
Liverpool, the bearish cast of weekly
statistics and scattered showers outside
Texas and Oklahoma.

Dublin Organization Appears

Week.
Dublin.—Very bunine*a-like appear the
National Volunteer* these day*. New
member* are enrolling at a rate of 6,000
a week or more. The total i* oHtimated
by the Imhlin "Sunday Independent” at
128,500, divided between Ulster, 41,000,
Leinster, .42,000; Munster 27,000; und
Connaught, 18,500.
A brigade demonstration ha* Just been
held in Londonderry City. Marshalled
in companies a procession over a mile
long marched to Celtic Park, accom
panied by a hand of trained nutses in
Red Cross uniform* and *rtended by a
first aid party bearing stretchers and
other equipment.
In the remote isiend of*Achlll there are
two compaiileH of Volunteers, all mem
ber* of which speak Gaelic. The drill
command* and the conversation of the
men are carried on in the ancient ver
nacular.
T* B. O’Connor in a current published
article, says:
First Impulse.
“The first Impulse of the Volunteer
movement, I believe, wa* given by tiie
Incident* in the Curragh. it 1* certain
that the English atrny, as it I* known
today, Ih doomed It may come noon or
it may come late, but a democratized
English army Instead of the Tory Army
of today has taken Its place among the
purpoMos to which the democratic forces
are pledged to devote themselves.
'in Ireland, the Curragh Camp re
volt helped to give birth to the National
Volunteers. It was known that this
movement of revolt wa* largely InHplrcd
by irishmen and Irishwomen of the

I responsible for the Wf»r«t hoiYors of Irish
hlKtory famine, exile, wholesale evic
tion, wholesale emigration, and whoie

Only One Answer.
"There was only one answer to 1
j challenge so insolent and that was for
the Irish people to defend themselves.
"Another fore© which produced the
Volunteev movement was the In horn
1 mlllltary spirit of the Irish people. These
men have been drilled at their own ex
pense. That is the essential difference
. between this and the orange movement,

! Hon of Ismndlens money sent into Ire
i land by the rich Tories of Knglarid. The
National Volunteer movement has been
financed by itself. The men who oYlll
pay weekly their three pence*, and ask
I aid from nobody.
"It is also one of the curiosities of
i tins movement that ii excites as much
Interest and sympathy among Lngllah
Liberals as among Irishmen. It Is known
that several men among the Liberal
iftftders no'.** expressed satisfaction a|
the Inception arid growth of the move

Warfare to Break Out in Europe Most Any
Time-According to Old Adage; “Where
There’s Smoke There’s Fire”
Paris.—\\'e live In the midst of war
ami rumors of wars. If mere Is any
thing In the old adage that, where
there's smoke there's fire, an out
break In Europe is hound to come
sooner or later.
Recently there was alarm In
France at the statement that a new
German military law wait about to be
enact d, so the increase of her mili
tary forces.
ill 11 came the ram pa leg here for
the overthrow of Preeidem Poincare.
This did not succeed, but, when M.
Uibot's cabinet was defeated in the
fiist. division it. was hailed as a mark
of disapproval of the three years ser
vice hill
Tt may be assumed confidently that
tiu l three years military service law
Is indiarensahla to "'ranee and all po
litical parties recognize (dial fact.
One of the sanest of France’s poli
ticians asked why the increase of
military service was necessary, said:
Rely on Herself.
"It Is .lie consequence of the action
of Germany. Germany has begun to
realize that in the event of 0 Euro
pean wa.- sli.e would have to rely very
largely upon herself, for Austria
would hav • 200,0(10 Servians ott one
heel and 300,000 Roumanians on the
others. Now Russia’s numbers are very
formidable, but tt is a question wheth
er eh a van concentrate them rapidly.
Germany desires, therefore, to be in a
position to strike a deadly hlow at
France Immediately hostilities begin
and before our reserves are ready, so
ns to be able to have her hands more
free to meet the Russians on the
frontier.
Teutons Watching With
Interest "King” William's
Efforts to Retain Throne
Berlin.—Mpret William’s efforts to
retain his throne In Albania are be
ing followed with considerable inter
est by the German people, but there
would appear to be an utter lack of
that concern about It which one mlgnt
naturally expect, seeing that the tin
certain ruler of an uncertain percent
age of the Albanians Is n. German
prince. There Is a general feeling that
there Is something lacking about the
Mpret. His apparent lack of tact, of
political far-sightedness, and of de
clsdveness have disappointed bis ad
mirers, and bis insistence upon elal -
orate court ceremonial, tr. the exist
ing conditions has evoked comments
bordering upon ridicule.
Court circles In Berlin are si. 1
amusing themselves over the Inscrip
tion on the card of William’s court'
marshal, llcrr ven Trotha, who cama
here a few days ago to report to the
Kaiser. The card reads: Mondial de
111 Cntir do Sa I/B.leste In Rol d’Albanl?
Tlie Mpret has from the Bra! Insisted
upon being termed "Your Majesty,'
although the powers, know him only
as "Your Highness."

"The aim of the three years' ser
vice is to take away from Germany
the temptation to make this sudden
attack on us. As !he Germans have a
frontier force of 250.000 men, we must
have one of practically equal strength
so that we can uold our while the re
serves are mobilizing on the frontier
line. Consider the reserve which
Franca posscses in her North African
colonies of Algeria and Morocco! In
Tunis conscription lias already been
introduced and works well.
Excellent Soldiers.
If it were established in Algeria
and Morocco, whose inhabitants
would make excellent soldiers, like
the people of the south of France, we
should nave an additional army of
200,000 or 400,000 excellent troops in
seven or eight years. But the time
will soon come, perhaps in ten years,
" lien Germany must either come to
an understanding with France and
Russia or else try to settle the rivalry
by the old method of the sword.
Which method she will choose, I do
not know, but we must evidently he
prepared for the method of violent)#."
Tills is no feather-brained state
ment nor yet the product, of an imag
inative or alarmed mind. It Is the
ke note of the prevailing situation.
And in the midst of all trls prepara
tion for war I am aTrfcWi many essen
tial industrial reforms are being
shelved. The French people are pa
tient and long-suffering and their In
tense patriotism blirds them to a mul
titude of omissions on the part of the
home government.
Germany is the Nation
of Ail Laws—Their Aim
Berlin.—Germany is the nation of all
the laws. There are rules and regula
tions for everything. If you do not hap
pen to have passed the age of 18 \ou
ft Vo not nllowed to belong to a political
organization, though young people era
urged to enter the National ITlons, which
exist to promote militarist ideas and cer
tainly savor of political intent and ef
fect.
The fact that these laws are aimed
against everything suggestive of Social
ism la ill-concealed and youths with so
cialistic tendencies or trades union lean
ings are Vigorously debarred from gath
ering together.
An instance has Just occurred, where
Pr. Breltscheld, a member of the Keich
stag, was announced to address a meet
ing of young workers on the subject «>f
“Working Youths, Wake tip."
Before he had uttered a single ward
and in spite of the fact that the chair
man had stated that the meeting would
be in no way political a police official
declared the meeting Illegal and cleared
the hall. The audience reassembled In
an adjoining room to sing and hear reci
tations, but frnrjg this also they were
dispersed.
