The cotton market had a sharp advance todav of nearly a cent a pound and closed to 7o points net higher. The advance was started by the issuing of the weck'v weather report which stated that the Carolinas and Geor- gia had suffered by the heavy rains me past week and the southwest by- lack of moisture and the forecast for tcnight and tomorrow of little iclief from the hieh temneratures in Texas and Oklahoma. Detailed reports showed 27 out of 55 stationr in Texas with temperature of 1C0 to 107 and Oklahoma 12 out of 19 stations 100 to 104 with no rain in sight.

Strength of the grain market hclred the acivancc in cotton. New. Ltndon that thrre was a possibility the Dawes plan bciti? adopted by the allies made a favor. able impression. We feel that a laree fhort interest still exists andi wi.l be forced to cover if the hi temperatures continue in the south and ley.

In anticipation of the prince's arrival, America's 2,000 delegates were present long before the meeting was scheduled to begin. When the Brit ish heir appeared, wearing a lounge suit, a convention button in the lapel of his eoat, the American- deleicm-js broke into enthusiastic choiring, stamping tho platform nn'd kept up their ovation for 10 minutes. Then the prince delivered a short address declaring the convention open. The large conference hall at Wembley was filled to capacity and more than enpacity early in the morning, and it was necessary to pack several hundred delegates into adjoining halls, where the speakers later visited them and delivered their addresses over again. The delegates', particularly those who spent weeks traveling from then- homes to Wembley, loosened up their pent-up enthusiasm, cheering for several minutes on the appearance of each speaker and otherwise sur prising their English hosts with this introduction of enthusiasm into convention meeting.

The Prince of Wales had a hard time starting his address, so loud and insistent were the cheers which greeted, him. Even tually he discarded his prepared pa per to tell the delegates that he had always believed in advertising and in fact that he had done much of it himself. Then he said: think it is the very name of tno convention which suggests inter national interest in the subiect When I see so many people in this hall from every part of the earth, I am convinced this aim has been real ized. You came together from all over the country to give and to re ceive inrormation and advice from each other regarding commercial ism, which is the greatest problem we have to face today. "1 look forward to a new life, new understanding and new com mercialism between the United States, the dominion and other coun tries to arise from this convention.

I think this is the only way we can obtain that peace which is so much needed." Tho prince was followed bv Frank B. 1 Kellogg, American ambassador, who -also wp.s given an enthusiastic round of applause followed, bv the inging oi the American rational anthem, BRIDE OF, A MONTH GAILY- BIDS ADIEU TO HUSBAND (Continued from Page 1.) day.
