A letter, a thing of very Binall weight
Weighty sometimes in the measure of

Damocles' life was secure by a thread
While full many a swain has lost his

From a line of a letter that's tender,
From a person of feminine gender.

Pray, tell me, sir, is it a great wonder
If post office clerks do sometimes
blunder?
To err i3 human; please remember,

E'en post clerks are not infallible men
But if you must kick, then please use
A very soft pair of very thin shoes.

Cotton Letter
September 7th
What can be more refreshing than
to read of the advance in the cotton
markets form day to day? One month
ago October futures in New York were
below 13.50c. At this time October
i^ approximately 20c and the outWashington
dispatches continue to
Hashington dispatches continue to
announce more liberal credits; trade
conditions are improving rapidly; the
demand of raw cotton is better th
it has been for months, and we feel
that we have been justified in advis
Why
"Slow Down" ^

much feed in the fall to brir

past month to hold their cotton
There may be some profit-taking and
a temporary reaction, but conditions
, are improving daily and we expect
j to see 21c cotton. There is no reason
for urging anyone to sell so long
as the market advances and loans can
%
be obtained on holding cotton. The
new crop will not be more than
enough to supply American mills, and
the old crop is more firmly held than
ever.
