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.

SAN ANTONIO LIGHT AND GAZETTE
AUTOS CAIL FOR
MUCH COTTON
Demand Increased Three Mil
lion Bales Annually By Horse
less Carriage In Few Years.
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.”

Rose of Sterling, a magazine writer,

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.
When the hand of nature was
finishing the job of touching up
thin grand old earth of ours, a
good share of the handy work
was done on
ALAMO
HEIGHTS
the prettiest and most desira
ble homesite spot in San An
tonio. Have you ever seen Ala
mo Heights as it is todayf If
so( we don’t believe you would
let another day pass without
buying a lot or two, if not to
build a home on, as an invest
ment.
You can buy lots at from
$2OO to $OOO on easy payments
if you wish. Phone or call us
and we will take you out in
one of our automobiles.
