HIDES. BETTER WEATHER REPORTS FACTOR Opening of Cotton Market Un changed on New Crop Posi tions —Market Featureless. Th? opening at Liverpool this morning was somewhat better than du?. Instead of being H to 4 pointe lower as expected, first prices were H to 1 point higher on the summer months and 2 to 3 up on the distant options. Spots were 4 points higher on sales of 8000 bales. Later in th? s?ssion. influenced by dis quiUing advices from London, and the dis inclination of the domestic markets to fol low the advance, a recession took place which left the close 1 to 3 pointa lower than yes terday. Better weather reparts from the belt was the principal factor on thi< side. The open ing was unchanged on the new crop posi tions, but the summer deliveries opened 8 to 6 points advanoo. The market was quiet and featureless during the greater part of the morning session, fluctuations being narrow’ and confined to a range of about five points on the active months. The certificated stock in New York re eedved an addition of about 1000 bales and now stands at 226.473 bales. There were heavy rains reported early at Denison and Paris, Texas, with showers indicated in the forecast for the next 36 hours over the southwestern belt. The market at noon showed practically no change from last night's figures. The afternoon market was dull and life less, with a range of only 3 to 4 points. There apppeared to be no interest one way or the other, and if the tendency was toward weakness it was because the market grew’ heavy under its own weight. There w’as no news of any sort during the afternoon, and no trading of any consequence. Spots in New York were unchanged, as were also quotations at the principal south ern centers. Receipts at the ports were only 5129 bales against 28.047 last year and ettimates for New Orleans and Galveston combined tomor row are only about 8000 against 10,000 last year. These figures are small, even for this time of the year. The fntur market closed 2 to 5 points net loss on the day, which should bring about a decline of to 2 points in Liverpool to morrow. based upon our 11 o’clock bids.

DETROIT, Mich., May 4—“ Few people stop io consider the great amount of cotton used in this country,'' said F. L. Holmes of Jackson, Miss., in an interview here. "Steel is the only manufactured product that ex ceeds cotton in importance in this country. oottA»n enters into the manufacture of more articles of commerce than any other com modity, except iron and steel, and the stop page of spindles and'looms would be but a trifle compared to the paralysis that would visit countless other industries. ‘•Automobiles require about a million bales of cotton annually, of which 300,000 bales are used in the manufacture of automobile tires and protectors, 35,000 bales for the manufacture of leather seats and cushions, 10,000 bales for the stuffing and upholster ing, while the remainder is used fqr the man ufacture of auto clothing, slip covers, insu lating of copper wires, tool bags, tool rolls, waste and mercerised rain clothes. “Take the question of automobile lubri eating oils alone. Millions of yards of duck 40 inches wide are used annually for the purpose of filtration, while nearly every car owner has a canvas cover to put over his car while standing in the garage, and the lamps and other bright parts are covered in rainy weather with enameled waterproof cov ers. All this uses up countless bales of cot ton, so that the automobile uses as much, if not more, cotton than the railroads and other allied industries, and has helped to increase the world's demand for the commodity by 3,000,000 bales more than five years ago.” COTTON REGION BULLETIN.

PLANS TWO YEAR POWER BOAT RACE Writer and Party Will Traverse Atlantic and Pacific Coasts and Inland Rivers. Sterling, 111., May 4.—Dr. W. U. Rose of Sterling, a magazine writer, will begin early in June the longest power boat cruise ever undertaken. With a party of seven others he will spend two years traversing the Pacific and Atlantic eoast lines of the United States, Central America, Mexico and Canada and our inland waterway sys tem.

We will then join in the great power boat race from Juneau, Alaska, to Seattle, Wash., in August. “From Seattle we will cruise south ward, making the ports and naviga ble rivers of Washington. Oregon, Cal ifornia, and the Pacific side of Mex ico, and Central America to Panama. The boat will then be shipped across the isthmus by rail to Colon, on the Atlantic side. DISTRICT AVERAGES. “We will proceed thence northward, Good Advice When you are feeling bad you go to your doctor, and he savs go to San Antonio and get well. Then to San Antonio you come, fully expecting to get well, aud 99 times out of 100 you do. but if when you come vou had gone to the hills, espe cially ALAMO HEIGHTS, in place of cooping yourself up down town on some crowded street where foul air and dust is plenty, you would have re covered much sooner and got more good from vour trip. Talk about pure, UNADULTERAT ED DISEASE KILLING AT MOSPHERE — why, ALAMO HEIGHTS don’t have any other kind, and unless you want to live a long time, stay away from there.
