DRY GOODS.

New York, Feb. 11.-To-morrow being
holiday in the dry goods market sellers
FASTENED to close up the weeks trading
to-day. Mail orders we're quite steady in
all branches of the trade.
The strong tone OF goods Is well sus-
tanned. In cotton this Is due. no doubt,
20 the firm price of raw cotton. with
wooden there Is continued strength IN spite
OF the weakness in the wool market. Dress
goods are irregular though the demand
for staples on the line Of Henriettas and
the like is fairly well developed. with
cotton goods the tone remains unchanged.
Higher cotton prices have made cotton
goods more valuable and sellers are not
given to granting concessions under the
present conditions. Print cloths are firm
at unchanged quotations.

New York, Feb 11.-Riordan & Co say
of cotton: 1.-The cotton market has at
least broken away from its wearsome pc
riod of stagnaton, and the trading this
week has been very animated Prices
have enjoyed an advance of about quar-
ter cent since last Saturday. The rise
has occurred in the face of volume of
receipts, compared to which all former
movements at this time of year look insig-
nihcant. To-day the trading had plenty
of vim and snap. Liverpool declined two
and one-half sixty-fourths, and the open
ing here was practically unchanged But
the South reported no slackening in the
demand there, with offerings meager
Encouraged by this there was consdera-
BILE fresh buying. AS a result prices ad-
Vanced sharply. Heavy and continuous
selling by Liverpool during the day caus-
ed several set backs, but at the end the
net loss established yesterday had been
recovered. May opened at 606c. rallied
to 6.10c, eased off to 605c, shot up to 6l5,
again eased and closed at Gil to 612c,
with the tone of the market steady. To-
morrow being a legal holiday the exchange
will be closed. 1t is undeniable that war
ranted by the situation or not the mar
ket wears at the moment the undoubted
ear marks of bull market. The strength
in the situation is furnished by the fact
that the demand for actual cotton seems
to have increased instead of refusing 10
follow the higher prices. Having demon
strated its ability to advance In spite of
what now seems the practical certainty of
an n,O0,0 O0-bale crop, the market has
given the bulls great confidence and will
hereafter invite two speculative buyers on
declines, where formerly there was but
one. Such being the case, 1t Is possible
that the worst of the depression is over.
But rise such as this has largely de-
creased the chance of voluntary curtail-
ment of acreage. for, as we have seen It
aptly put, IL cotton is a good thing to
BUY at these prices, il is also a good thing
TO plant. A speculative buying fever may
carry prices higher, but I'm our opinion il
Will take some accident to the next crop
to justify big advance; that If Ii comes
at all is a long way off, and we are not
inclined to look favorably upon the mar
ket."

TIME, -EVENS THINGS.
Northern and Southern Cotton MIL
. --IHIntoryi WI Lse the Snme.


History WIN Be the Same.
. The argument OF the southern papers
that their section is bound to moncpo-
lize the cotton spinning industry OF
the United States is based eli the as
sumption that the present labor and
social conditions of the south are bound
to be perpetual. Thus we find the
Charlegton News and Courier arguing
that the urban surroundings of the New
England mills, by increasing the cost
of living to their operatives, compel
the adoption of wage schedule that
handicaps them in competition with
the south. While pointing out that
Lowell and Fall River have grown
from small mill towns to large cities
1T says in effect that in the south the
cotton factories are surrounded by the
old style Of mill villages, where the peo-
pie live cheaply and simply and arc
content with lower wages than are paid
in the north, for the reason that they
can make money go farther.
Granting that the News and Courier
presents a true picture of the situation
as it is at present, the recommendation
it makes for the south to continue to
build more and more cotton mills will.
If carried into effect, change all that.
The mill village will develop into the
mill town, which, if it prospers, will
become city. It Is human
nature for people to use their
earnings to better their condi
items and surroundings. The cot,
Ten mill operatives of the southern mill
villages are people of simple tastes, to
whom hard cash was little known be-.
fore the factory came. How long will
it be before these people become dis:
contcnted with the hut and from their
savings become cottage owners? They
VIII want better furniture and clothes.
Their aspirations will force a higl1e,
cost of living, and then we may see the
southern mills either meeting an or
ganized demand for better pay by con-
cessions or reaching out into newer
fields for cheaper help. ..'
Such has been the history and ex-
Perience of the New England mills.
People of the caliber Of tke help en-
ployed in the Lowell mills when that
city was growing town are too valu.
able to be employed in Lowell's fac,
tories today. They know their, earn.
ing, capacity and they find it gratifeG
III other fields of employment than in
the mills. Time at last makes all
things even, and as the south prosrers,
wages in the mills are bound to'rcac1,
Il level with; those of New Enelantl.
Social changes must have industrial c.
fects or the history of the world goes
for nothing. The process of the eleya-
tion OF labor by rising aspirations for
better things than it has known here
tofore may. 60 on, probably viii go on. OF.
slowly in the south, but'it is bodnd;fo
come it that section develops as great
industrial country ."r,5.in d ~ i:mr,
. Here at the, north there may be q re-
dpction of cotton mill dividends as Il,
result OF that process of adjustment,
the same as is seen in other forms of

The closing exercises of Mrs.
Hayes Primary school took place
yesterday, at 2 O'Clock p. M. only
the members of the little ones
families being present.
Each one Of the children acquit-
ed themselves admirably and in
some instances displayed remark
able precocity. Music, Recita-
tions and Dialogues made up the
programme, after which refresh
ments were served.
AS the writer sat and listned to
the entertaining exercises his
mind reverted to the past when
the commencement exercises of the
Opelousas Female Institute was
an event in each years history of
this section; when the large au-
ditorium overfowed with mothers,
farthers and relatives Of the great
bevy of young ladies, who each
year went forth from the classic
walls of the Institute, equipped
with diplomas, accepted through
out the State as insignias of educa-
ton and refinment. We wonder
ed too, how such a deserving and
magnificent institution could have
been allowed to suffer and finally
succumb to financial difficulties,
and when the accomplishments
and fitness of the young ladies
who pointed to it as their alma
mater attested so conyincingly to
its merit.
Many Of the wives, mothers and
brilliant social stars of this
section were the pupils of that once
famous institution, and not few
of them owe to it the positions
they occupy as educated and
christian women.
