COTTON FUTURES.

New York. March 13.-There was an ac-
emulation of orders to buy when the cot
ton market opened this morning and the
first call showed an advance of 14l0 points.
This was the high mark for the session.
Immediately after the call local traders
detected a lack of public support and com
menced TO raid the market in cautious
way, and the opening advance was soon
lost. Subsequently business showed a loss
of 1d4 points. The feature of the early
trading was active selling on Southern or
ders directed chiefly TO new crop posi-
tons and accompanied by private advlces
of a bearish character regarding the next
crop. Trading in the old crop positions
became of hesitating character owing to
the possibility of undue changes by means
of manipulation. The market was helped
a little in the afternoon by strong cables.
Just before the close the market rallied on
covering and was finally steady at a net
advance of 4 and points.
New York, March l3.-Cotton futures
opened firm and closed steady. Prices as
follows.

PEARL buttons FROM MussELs.
Many Thousands of Persons Employ
in Their Manufacture.

From the Chicago Record.
The manufacture of pearl buttons from
the shells of fresh water mussels now gives
employment to many thousands of per-
sons. The daily output of some of the
large factories is from 700 to 1000 gross
of finished buttons. The shells are first
soaked in fresh water from three to six
days to render them less brittle; Otherwise
they would split when worked and the
amount of wastage would be considerable.
They are cut with a rotary saw, a jet of
water playing on the shell as the saw re-
wolves. This prevents the formation OF
dust and keeps the shell cool. Occasion
ally the stream of water is dispensed with:
the dust is then drawn into tube by
current of air. Where neither water
jet nor an air current is provided the OPP
eratives are obliged to cover their mouths
and noses with cloths, as the dust is most
injurious to the human throat and eyes.
After the blanks are cot by the saw, they
are ground by a revolving emery wheel,
TO dress the back and to remove the skin.
The next process shapes the front of the
button and gives the central depression.
The last step before the polishing brings
out the natural luster, which has been
lost in grinding, and for which the but
tons are mainly valued. They are then
placed in large wooden kegs, which are
revolved on a horizontal axle. While in
the keg the buttons are subjected TO che
action of a chemical fluid and are turned
out in a highly lustrous condition. After
being washed and dried they are sorted
into sizes and grades of quality, sewed to
cards and then packed in cardboard boxes
ready for shipment.

which has caused this lull in the activity,
or else 1t is the preparations for

Receipts at the interior towns are light
and at the ports rather heavier than
anticipated, but without influence
Our local traders look for a rather bet
ter market on the movement.
New York, March l3-Murphy e. Co
say: Cotton in Liverpool declined 1920 on
spots. Futures opened about 1-64d and ad-
vanced Sid, closing about 3-64d higher on
old crop and 2 to 2ls-64 higher for new
crop deliveries. This market opened 9 to
5 points higher, but reacted owing 10
limited orders to buy for out-of-town ac-
count and selling by locals The decline
attracted buying for local and Southern
account and kept the market nervous.

Is also small. One of our Liverpool cor
