COTTON MARKET REVIEW.
Another Decline In Futures at Home
and Abroad.
MORE LIQUIDATION OF THE LONGS.
A Decided Falling on In the Movement,
May Cause an improvement
In Prices.
Office of The Post,
Houston, Thursday, February IL.


With port receipts 5000 bales larger than
on this day last year and nsarly 600 above
the 1925 movement. together with rather
heavy receipts si interior points. Il was
hardly to lie expected that the market
would sho's any recovery from the weak
ness that has been noticeable for several
days past There wero no encouraging
features whatever and the continued liQui
dalton cd the lougs caused n further de-
cline.
While II Is difficult 70 secure any de-
cided opinion as TO what will likely be the
immediate future OF the market. the most
conservative operators agree that It viii
take very decided falling off in tho
amount OF cotton brought inuo sight In the
next week or so 10 cause amy material
Improvement in prices. Tho closing out
OF tired holders has boon on large scale
for several days, however. and any slight
announcement may cause a temporary re.
action.
Locally tho temper was more bullish to-
DAY than Tor some time. Reports from
interior buyers STATED that there was prac-
uyaiN no cotton Offering and that pur-
chascs today amounted to very little. The,
also state that the amount OF cotton leil
IN thc country is iidiculously small ana
that decided falling ell IN the moNcmen,
VIII he Lo,iceablc before the middle of
next week.

The lesson to be gathered from the above table is
that imitation does not make high wages any than
air in balloon gives it sodity and frmness The only
method of benefting wageearners is lower the
cost of living much consistent with good wages
and then business and increase the demand for prod
ucts. Brisk trade makes brisk money and lively times
give increased employment to working people. Free
si1yer does not offer any such prospect and should
prosperity is public confidence in the future and no
experienced of means has yet forward with
statement that debased money will inspire that conf
dence.
The time has when wage-earners should begin
to advocate liberal expenditure of public money
A hundred millions of dollars year invested for the
next years in public buildings, Notifications in
creased warlike armament and system of interstate
canals would be like casting bread upon the waters
Every dollar of it would to the Treasury in larger
revenues and the result of such distribution of money
in starting up the channels of trade would be of lastiuo
benefit Think of the number of wageearners it would
give employment to compared with the theory free sill
ver and also consider that every dollar of would reach
the public without collecting interest toll whethe same
amount of free silver must pass through the the
bonanza kings Let the free silver drop and take
up policy that will insure substantial returns That
the only way to bring prosperity money and bet
ter employment for working people.
