THRIET KEY 10 ADVANCENIEAT, GAYS FORRES Wave of Saving Would Beat Laws Lowering Cost of Living, He Asserts. By B. C. FORBES. The man who has a dollar is bet ter off than the man who has not a dollar, - . . We all want 1o ne weil off., » -~ " How to provide for our necessi ties and the necessities of those de pendent upon us is the biggest every day problemm most of us have to solve, - . - % Americans have not yet learneds as a rule, how to save money. . - - Thoughtless extravagance is a na tional sin. . * - That old-fashioned virtue, THRIFT, is rarely practiced. * - - The common motto is: “Let us eat, drink and be merry to-day; to-mor row can take care of itsell.” But to-morrow will not take care of itself unless we take care of to day. The spendthrift is NOT a happy person. He has to flee from his own thoughts. He dare not let his mind dwell on whither he is going. Yet try as he will, the specter of the future persists in rising up to fright en him. The “good time” of the mo ment, he knows in his heart, can not last. The wine of life every now and then has an unpleasant taste. ¥ - . Mankind is eternally gearching for happiness, for peace and joy of mind, for satisfaction that has lasting qual ties. - . . Thriftlessness and genuine happl ness can not occupy the same human dwelling. . . . Thrift begets.comfort, satisfaction, tranquillity, happiness. - - . More, thrift makes for manhood. It raises a man’'s self-respect to have saved part of his earnings. Poverty {s a depressing, haunting, vitiating companion, especially poverty that could have been avoided by the ex ercise of prudence, temperance and common gense, . . . The man who does not keep his head above water {s in an unenvia ble plight. - . . Debt breeds cowardice. | *» + = : Yet, half the people who are in debt could have made ends meet by intel ligent frugallty.. . . Pride is oftentimes the parent of extravagance. Men and women ghrink from appearing less “prosper ous” than their neighbors. Not only will they spend for their back what ought to have gone into their stom achs, but they will too readily make somebody else foot the bill—that Is, they will buy what they can not pay for, thus ROBBING somebody else. Unpald and not-to-be-paid debts mre a form of thieving. To take goods from a tradesman and not pay for them {s stealing, nothing more or less, just plain stealing. The thought may not be pleasant for the spend thrift, but the truth of it can not be blinked or denied. i . . A thousand woes, individual and national, flow from reckless, unwise expenditures. L * . Half the troubles this country has labored under during the last two years or more have sprung from ex travagance — individual, corporate, municipal, State, Federal. The na tion was running riot. . - - Chastening influences have been at work, however, The need for sobrie ty, for economy, for frugality, for thrift 1s coming to btz realized. . - A wave of Intelligent, systematic, persistent, rational THRIFT would do more to reduce the cost of living and advance the material and moral in terests of the United States than all the laws Congress ig capable of de vising in a decade.

NEW YORK, June 26.—Bullish weath er reports from the cotton growing belt turnished the chief factor at the opening of the cotton market to-day. First prices ranged from 2 off to 2 points higher than Thursday's close. There was considerable buyin{ of July option, which went from 12,56 to 12.66, New crops were less active. About 75,000 July notices were report ed issued by the big spot houses and the liquidation in that month was well ttken by brokers, who usually repre sent the same people that issuad them. These brokers were also noted to be gellers of August, It seemed that prac tically the entire certificated stock of 93,000 bales would be tendered by by the big interests. After the call July dropped 8 points, to 12.52, Trade was featureless in the new crop options, but they ruled strong, being under ‘the same influences that have been under them for the last week. After a short breathing spell the list sold 5 to 8 points above the opening levels on continued demand from leading bull houses and scattered covering by shorts, in response to continued reports of dry, hot weather, with indications pointing to continued fair and hot weather over the belt, except possibly a few isolated thunderstorms In the northeastern quarter of the belt, Several more points was added to the early advance during the late forenoon, due to continued buying, based on the detailed weather records, showing that 112 stations in the eastern belt had temperatures from 100 to 109, but some relief was had from scattered showers. Later, however, a goodly portion of the advance was suvbstracted, from the list on a wave of active selling by those who bought on high temperatures. A de crease of 22,000 bales in spinners' tak ings for the week also encouraged lig uidation.

HAYWARD & CLARK'S DAILY COTTON LETTER NEW ORLEANS, June 26.—The mar ket this morning was irregular in con sequence of July tenders amounting to 10,000 bales. July nere opened about 14 points low er, but regained all the loss within the first ten minutes, indicating that tend ers are being stopped by spot inter ests, which course is indeed suggested by the fact that cotton brings about a half cent more in the open spot mar ket. July in New York acted the same way, recovering quickly from a lower opening. Reports of tenders were con dicting, ranging all the way from 380,000 to 75,000 bales. New crops opened higher on unfa vorable weather conditions during the past twenty-four hours. Hot weather continued over the belt and there was no precipitation outside of some ssr‘at—l tered thundershowers over the Caro linas. Government records show the follow ing high district overages: Augusta, Savannah, Mobile, 104; Charleston, At lanta, Montgomery, Memphis, 102; Wil mington, Vicksbhurg, Little Rock, 100. This is a new heat record. The average for the entire belt is 101, Indications are for a generally fair belt, except possibly some cloudiness in Kastern Alabama, Western Arkansas, East Tennessee and the Atlantic coast districts, with possibly some {solated thundershowers in the northeastern quarter of the belt, While July here eased again on scat tered lquidation. new crops continued steady, as It is being realized that a general rainfall, not a few scattered showers, is needd to put an end to the present heat spell NEW ORLEANS COTTON FUTURES. { | | ; i | - © - [ o R ___’-l___aj;,_ L RO Je i.....i....fi‘.....:u.“13.04-(}6‘ll{o7 Jy [12.95/13.1412.90/13.08/13.07-0913.09-10 Au 313.06,‘13.21 13.06,13.20113.20-21 13.08-10 8D |..oalcanitoaitea.s: 12.80-8212.72-74 Oc 12,55 12.64 12.55!12.63{12.62-6312.53 Nv Lo ] 07 112.82-08112.51-63 Dc [12.54112.62/12 52(12.61/12.61-62{12.51-52 Jn 112.55,12.65 12.55.12.64 12.64-6512.53-54 Mr [12.68112.74/12.67/12.72 12.73-74 12.63-64 My 12.60,12.60/12.60/12.6012.76,78/12.67-69 Closed steady.

STORM, NEW YORK, June 6,--In a sharp contrast with conditions which pre vailed~ yesterday, the stock market opened active and strong to-day and substantial gains were scattered throughout the list. There seemed to be a vigorous demand for stocks of all grades, some of which came from Lon don. The «leA)r«-ssion. which had fol lowed the Claflin fallure, was complete ly overshadowed by apparent optimism on the part of investors and the pro fessionai trading element. Before the end of fifteen minutes there were evidences of profit taking, but at the conclusion of half an hour's trading the tone was as strong as ever and good gains were maintained. Union Pacific began 3 higher, then went to 15214, for a net gain of 1 point, Canadian Pacifie, which had met with gome pressure in London, was one point higher. May Department Stores, which were hit hard yesterday, rallied strong ly, advancing 19, to 5. Amalgamated Copper gained % and the same amount of ga'n was scored by Southern Pacific and Reading. There was considerable activity In United States Steel common, which opened at 987, for a gain of %. With in twenty minutes, however, the net ad vance had heen augmented to %. The passing of the yearly dividend by Ontario and Western, one of the sub sidiaries of the New Haven, had little effect u{:on the parent comgany.

CARPENTER & CO.'S St DAILY cofig‘ou LETTER NEW YORK, June 26.—The strength in the new crop positions for the first howr or so to-day looked to be mostly iln sympathy with the support given July, but at noon the firmness was due to the buying on the high temperatures prevalling yesterday in the Caralinas and Georgia, as shown by the weather details. One hundred and twelve sta tions in the eastern belt had tempera tures of from 100 to 109, but soms re llef was had from scattered showers, Most of the interest was centered on July en the opening, because of the re port that the mn}tor ggrtlon of the local certified stock of 93,000 bales had been tendered to July longs. The same people who put out the no tices, however, bought them back across the ring, against sales of August and Oetober. It Is not likely that the July, option will cut much figure from now on. General trade continues light and con siderable evening-up is In evidence for the Government condition report next Wednesday.
