A new high ecord wus today established for the season in the cotton market when August contracts sold at 16.90 or 38 points above the closing figures of last night and over S4 per bale above the low price of yi-sterday morning. The sensational gain was due to covering by belated shorts following the Issuance of notlcrg yesterday which appeared to represent nil cot ton available here to bull leaders, and which left the remaining short interest without protection. There was little selling by spot people, who are believed to be sell ing against cotton which came here from nearby points on advance, and reactions occurred from the best, but the bulls seemed to be in control of the situation. It Is' estimated that not over 4000 bales changed hands on the advance this morning. The advance in August carried prices above the high figures recorded In May and July, and the movement Is regarded as a continua tion of the bull deal which began last February.

With' the temperature below freez ing, and the soldiers clad In the light uniform worn In.the military maneuvers from which they were sud denly withdrawn, much suffering from cold Is reported to the war depart ment from troops fighting the forest fires in the northern Rockies.

Drew the Line at Rain-Making. Estimating the cost of the ex- periment ut about $100,000, the war department officials have declined requests to order a bom bardment of the skies by all Its guna on Puget Hound and at point on the Columbia river in an effort to bring on rain in the burning forest districts of the north weed. In addition to the objection of cost, the army officers re garded the proposal aa likely to prove futile. The navy department to which ' a similar request was made, expressed Its willingness to co-operate with the army with six or ten guns, the only The experiment would have been one at Its disposal. The experiment would ' have' been one of the most spectacular ever at tempted in the United States. Around Puget Sound, at Forts Wordem Ca sey and Flagler, the army has forty twelve-inch mortars; alx .twelve Inch rifles; eighteen ten inch guns and twenty-six inch guns, besides a large number of guns of smaller calibre. At the mouth of the Columbia, in Forts Columbia and Stevens, are eight twelve Inch motars; eight ten inch guns: three eight inch guns, and eleven six inch guns, In addition to the smaller ones. To lire these once slmulteneously loaded properly for the purpose in mind, would cost the government, it was estimated at the war department. 110,000. Adding the possibility of ef fectiveness it was considered that probably ten rounds would have been required. This would have run the cost up to a figure that the officials did not feel Justified In Incurring with out specific authorization from higher authority. Serious fires are raging on the Ne Perce reserve in the western part- of Idaho, according to a telegram receiv ed at the forest servlc lat ysttrday from District Forester Greely, at Mis soula, Mont.
