ABOUT TOWN, WILLIAMSON RIDES
ADVANCE LN COT-
TON PRICE DUE TO
EFFORT OF CO-OP
ASSOCIATIONS GETTING 20
PER CENT; 90 PER CENT
ADVANCE HELPED.
NEW ORLEANS,* Aug. 31.—The up-
ward movement in cotton prices that
storied last week, continued most o*
this week and values advanced $3 a
bale. Tills advance marks a gain oi
$4.50 a bale from the low point touch-
ed’ during the previous week.
The advance was mostly due to cov-
ering by shorts who became upset by
the spread otf the holding movement
and the small volume otf hedge sales
in the futures market.
The holding movement received im-
petus through the raising otf the loan
basis on cotton by the Farm Board
from 75 per cent of its market value
to 90 per cent. This increase induced
banks and merchants to raise their
lending basis and to be more liberal
with customers who wanted to hold
their own cotton, or who wanted to
buy cotton and carry it.
Reports from the interior claim that
producers in some sections are holding
as much as 50 per cent of their crop.
Other reports say that 20 per cent
of the crop in many sections is going
to the co-operatives and much of that
which is sold is not being hedged, on
account of the low price.
As a result of these developments
the volume of hedge sales, upon which
short sellers are dependent for the
means of covering, have been the
smallest probably ever known at this
time of the year.

J. T. Shelton kept his part of the
wager on Mrs. Ferguson Saturday aft-
ernoon by pushing a wheel barrow
around the square with J. W. Wil-
liamson In it. He even went farther
than the wager required and carried
Anna Beth, little daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. Hoyle Winsett, in Mr. William-
son’s lap.
Knowing Mr. Shelton’s habit of giv-
ing liberal weights and measures many
thought he was Just trying to give
good measure, but investigation devel-
oped that Mr. Shelton had lost two
candidates for Governor offered for
the price of one and he thought it
only fair that he carry two on the
ride.
A large number of people lined the
sidewalks to see the performance and
a crowd followed the procession around
the square. Mr. Shelton complained
that the Job was laborous enough and
the crowd that pressed about them at
each station they stopped' for refresh-
ments nearly smothered him.
The wager and fulfilling otf Its pen-
alty was carried out In good spirit
and all enjoyed it, Including Mr. Shel-
ton, who is a good sport.

TO NORSE PORT
-a—
BALLOONITS’S BOAT ALSO
ABOARD THE SEALING
VESSEL BRATVAGG.
HAMMERFEST, Norway, Aug. 31.—
Dr. Gunner Horn Sunday cleared up
the question of how many bodies of
the Salamon August Andree Polar ex-
pedition were aboard the sealer Brat-
vaag, saying he had the bodies otf all
three who made the 1897 expedition.
The interview was conducted by
telephone between Hammerfost and
Hasvick, where the Bratvaag touched
enroute to Tromsoe, and was the first
statement Dr. Horn had made for the
press about his sensational discovery
on White Island.
“We have three bodies with us,” he
said, adding that Andree’s body
seemed well preserved.
Dr. Horn said it was only Saturday
night that he had received a radio
message ordering him home and It
was difficult to make it out on his
receiving set.
Questioned whether he had brought
everything he had found from the
Andree expedition, Dr. Horn answer-
ed:
“Yes, and Andree’s body seems very ’
well preserved. Everything we found
we placed on the afterdeck. The bod-
ies are lying in cases with Ice packed
well about them.
Dr. Horn said he had brought An-
dree’s canvas boat, adding:
"It was hard work to get the boat
out otf the ice. We have done our
very best to take good) care of every-
thing.”
