dard unit used for denotng the decline or
advance in the price of cotton. The value
of point is equal to the one one huns
dreths part offs cent. Hence, when the
farmer asked the buyer ''How's cotton this
morning ?" and the latter responds, "cot>
ton is ten points off this morning" he
means that cotton has declined ten points
at the market center, and that cotton is
selling at one~tenth OF cent less per
pound, or fifty cents less per bale of 500
pounds. Vice versa, if the market has
advanced ten points. Some of the BUYERS
buy on the Liverpool market, that is they
are governed by the price of the staple in
Liverpool, England. Instead of usiLg the
word point the English buyer denotes tie
advance Ga decline in the price OF cotton
in 'sixty-fourths." One sixty>fourths is
that much of an English penny, which
is commercially reckoned as being equal
to two cents in our money. An advance
of one sixty>fourth in Liverpool would be
equivalent to an advance of three points in
this country.

he had the blues-that he was not making
anything. We asked him to do as the

footing was made, it showed that he had
cleared 5000 in two years, had clothed and
fed large family, had built him a new
| house. improved his farm, cleared 81 acres
OF new land, and had provisions enough to
run him another year We asked him if
