TEKAS COTTON
WEEKLY SHIPMENTS ARE BEING
MADE FROM SOUTH TEXAS
TO JAPANESE PORTS.
MARKET PROSPECTS BRIGHTER
Bronn County Crop Will Be 50000
Bales Uuiess the Boll Weerii Does
Destructive Work Soon.
That the cotton market will irob-
nbly making similar shipments to
ed to think Is evidenced by the
statement from the olfice . of the
Craw ford-Gosho company here that
this company is shipping an average
j of about 3500 bales each week to
i Japan and other companies are prob-
Jably making similar shipments. A H.
; Richardson of the local office went to
Seguin Wednesday night to take lip a
500-bale lot which -h- being "shipped
to Japanese: ports and other ship-
ments will be made as long as it
is possible for vessels to go to Japan.
It is announced here that Japan will
j use all the cotton she can get and
I the markets of South Texas have
j shown considerable activity as a re-
isult of this condition.
I Cotton is selling today for about
(9 1-2 cents in Austin Locally there
. Is no market at all since the Brown
county crop has not begun to move.
(The first bale received here Wed-
nesday afternoon sold for 10 cents
tions at present are that a -fair price
can be obtained for the Brown coun-
ty product. There will probably be
a great change n conditions before
lhe rnwn county crop begins to
move but no prediction Is iuade as to
what this change will be.4
."O.OUIJ Bale Crop.
Estimates by farmers and cotton
men are that the Brown county crop
this year will reach r0000 bales
which will be the largest crop in the
history of the county. These esti-
mates are conditioned upon the ab-
sence of the destructive boll weevil
but only slight damage has yet been
done by the weevil and the indica-
tions are that a bumper crop will be
gathered. With even a fair market
the farmers of the county will lit-
erally "coin money" this year and a
prediction that there will be no mar-
ket seems to.be hardly justified in
face "of present conditions. South
Texas towns are well pleased with
the marketing conditions thrfre.

LONDON Aug 22. The official In-
formation bureau says: "No achieve
meut of either side deserves to be
called a victory.'
Official sources confirm the re-
port that the Austriaus lost twenty
thousand men during the three days
fighting along the Drina river. It 13
also officially announced .that General
Leman the Belgian commander of
the Liege forts is now held prisoner'
by the Gerjmans.
The German advance into Belgium
continued today without any serious
check. The invaders are apparently
trying to overrun the entire north-
ern and western sections of Belgium
while at the same time drawing clos-
er to France. The Germans already
have occupied Ghent and are now
approaching Oatemd and Bruges. I
the southeast they have occupied Na-
niur i
Antwerp reports that the Germans
will not continue to occupy Brussels
but the refusal of the city treasurer
to pay a war tax of forty million dol-
lars may alter the German plans.
While German cavalry patrols have
been seen near Antwerp no strong
detachments have yet been reported
there.
