COTrON.

New York, Feb. There was very ac-
tive trading in cotton today. particularly
during the afternoon. The strong Eng
fish advices caused a firm feeling On the
opening call when prices showed an adj
vance of six points. Later the market
developed much irregularty and sold
off six to nine points under the pressure
of heavy offerings of long cotton. which
came out freely as soon as it became app
parent that outside speculative support
was not being maintained. During the
strong interval August contract. which
sold as high as $50 on the top wave of
the advance last week. sold this morning
at 6.27. From this price the market
broke TO 6.1S, d loss Of , points from the
final figures of yesterday. Other months,
less active, had less decline, but at times
the market had very unsettled look.
Throughout the session. however the
regulation market bearings were quite
as bullish as at any time heretofore. Adj
vices from the South stated that spot
cotton holders in the principal markets
of the cotton belt were as strong in their
views as ever; they reiterated predic-
tions of short acreage and inattentiOn
to fertilizers. while reporting that wealth
er conditions were almost without Il
parallel, being so unfavorable as to in
hibit farm work of every kind while
running the unpicked cotton. Port re-
ceipts were light; indications as TO the
interior movement not promising; ac-
counts from American spinning sections
and from cotton cloth markets still en-
couraging. Exporters and American
spinners were reported as in competition
for supplies generally held ont Of their
reach. and rapidly becoming less desir-
able as to assortments. The market
was finally steady at point higher to
3 net lower.

SORDID POLICY.

1t may be unjust so to Judge, but
to an outsider there is temper of
sordidness in the means which Great
Falls employs to raise funds to re-
ceive the returning heroes. To
raise sufficient money by the sale of
badges is like running department
of government by means of ice
cream socials. The committee in
that city of boasted enterprise re-
ports having collected 1925 to pay
the expenses of reception which
should cost ten times as much. The
reception will bring to that city
probably 10000 visitors who will
leave there an average of So a piece,
and the business men of that city
will be 100000 to 100000 better
off when the day is over. And
when the committee asks surround
ing communities to put 81 into 4
cents worth of ribbon, just to help
Great Falls receive the troops, and
boom herself, the subject is too
small for our contemplation. After
the commons of earth have paid
1926 for reception badges, and
swelled the fnnd to thai amount, it
would look more fitting and grac-
ious if the business mems associa-
.tion, or assassination" as some
have called it, would swell the purse
to about $4,000.
