Violent Fluctuation of Cotton
t Last Week Due to Rains Over
Belt; Outlook Is Promising
U" That the violent rises and fall In
the prices of cotton on the future mar-
ket during the paat week was due
totally to the weather conditions waa.
'' In the opkeion of a prominent local
' cotton merchant logically proved by
; tha markets' actios on the last two
days of trading.
V h That basic fact has not been eon-
' tasted by local traders but tliere has
bean- anma talk about the changes
' being eKected br powerful cliques who
combined to put the market at a eer-
" tain place and twisted the technical
lacta'to suit their purpose.
' ' One of the largest dealers In this
city homorer points oat reasons why
the market would have taken exactly
- the tame action whether there was or
'.was not .an outside power.
Early In .the season when the larft-
' eat part tfhe Texas crop was belne;
planted this tate -was badly In need
' Of rain. Shortly after the seed waa
io the ground a aufflclent supply of
; rain fell over the entire Western belt
to put the crop ' Jn fine condition.
Periodically for several weeks there
Vera local showers over different
parts of the State and then came a
. general rain that made tt necessary to
replentla part of the crop' In some sec-
' ttons on the State
i Immediately following the time that
title rain esme. there came another
. has l f ddernpour. Previous to this
time' when M waa first necessary to
' replant the cotton crop market prlcaa
had ehown no very material change.
' Ob the other hand the condition waa
taken by met traders to be a rather
bearish factor. The same thing hap-
pened In the eastern part of the belt
- earlier pa the aeaaon.
When the heavy rains continued to
rome however the situation began to
take on a more serious aspect and
traders began demanding higher prices
' for cotton using this fact to Justify
their demands. Already the crop had
' been replanted in eoine parts of the
State four or five times and the sup-
of aeed waa very limited. Factors
took the stand that.with the shortage
of seed .the continued necessity of re-
- planting he crops and the lowering
morale of the fanner every condition
pointed to a shortage tart he production
this season.
During the early parti of last week
raino continually were falling over
the greatest part of the' Texas cotton
f belt the Mississippi was reported out
Of ita banks flooding thousands of
area of valuable cotton land and
Weather predictions in nearly all cases
pointed to more rain later In the

' rage and then In the latter part ot
the week when the rainy aeaaon
asemed temporarily to have passed.
began to weaken aa fast as they had
( strengthened on the opposite kind of
sjn outlook.
- In the opinion of many of the local
. deal era. the next important factor will
1 bo the flret government report Prices
' are expected to violently fluctuate one
way or the other on the strength of
this report to adjust themselves and
again to become onoertaln while wait-
ing for the next report. The flret
government report Is. doe In the early
part of June and probably will a how
the condition of the crop as of May If.
Until this report la published many
of the traders ear. there can possibly
bo no atablllsing of cotton prices. Tls
report will be the first thing definite
: that the factors will have to work
front In determining the approximate
also of the coming crop and on that
depends the prices for the next eight
. months. '
Statistics show that the present cot-
ton stock In Houston and in nearly
' every other port In the United States
la at the present time lower than it
has been elnce 1917. With this fee
and the fact that the foreign cotton
consumers gradually are getting the
benefit of a better money exchange
which enables them to buy a more
ample stock. Indications seem to local
traders to point to construction rather
than to depression In the cotton mar-
ket. It ia generally conceded that If
the cotton production for this season
' IttHs aa low as It was for last year
and area If Texaa falls behind and a
normal crop is produced In other cot

RARE ELEMENTS
IN ATMOSPHERE
BEING UTILIZED
Uses Found for Argon
Helium and Neon in
Commerce
Floyd W. Parsons In the Saturday
Evening Post.
Oxygen and nitrogen are not the only
elements In the air although they
compose M per cent of tt. In addition
we find the rare gaaea argon helium
neon krypton and xenon all ot which
may one day become useful elements.
Argon the most common of the rare
gases. Is now used 'to fill electric bulbs
for It haa been found that the efficiency
of Incandescent lamps is Increased
by filling them with an Inert gas In-
stead of making them vacuous and ar-
gon aa well aa the four other rare
gases. Is absolutely Inert.
Not only doea argon Increase the
brilliancy of the lempe but it length-
ens the life of the filaments. The use
of argon In electric bulba last year
saved tha nation about $(0000000.
Helium Is being aaed to Inflate dirig-
ibles and observation balloons. A few
yeara ago It cost 11700 to get a cubic
foot of helium out of the air; today
this gaa ia being produced for 10 cents
a cubic foot. Neon Is belng'used by a
few lamp makers to produce electric
bulbs and tubea that give off a beauti-
ful orange-pink glow
Krypton and xenon are present In
air In such smuall quantities that little
le known of them. However if It were
not fjor krypton yiere could be no
aurora boreal Is. Science has gone
along far enough in Ita lnveatlgatlon ot
the atmosphere to prove beyond doubt
that the air la a atorehouee of elements
of untold commercial value.
