NEW ORLEANS COTTON MARKEr.

New Orleans, Dec. 20.-The spot cot
ton market was easier to-day, but not
quotably lower.
The contract market was somewhat
unsettled. There seems to be a steady
undercurrent of bullish sentiment, pred
icated upon the extremely light crop
movement. This spirit is most pro-
nounced in the local field, where prices
on the near positions are being steadi-
ly forced we'll above the New York
level. The market after opening
point down. advanced to points all
along the line. and then entered upon
a series of mild fluctuations that left
prices at the close, but to points net

COLUMBIAN UNIVERSITY.

The PRINCIPAL subject of discussion
among the students at Columbian at
present is the serious illness Of Judge
Walter 5. Cox. for many years the dean
Of the law department Of Columbian
University. Judge Cox was greatly be-
loved by eve.y member OF the faculty
and student in the college. and his
forced retirement on account of ILL
health few months ago was one Of the
severest blows that has befallen the
school In many years.
The students. not only of the Law
school. but Of the college and medical
department as we'll. take the greatest
interest in the judges condition. and
keep themselves posted several times
each day regarding his welfare.
At meeting of the trustees. faculty.
alumni. and undergraduates of the in
stitution shortly after his retirement,
Judge Cox was presented with a mag
nihcent silver set. and was given a most
hearty reception.

life. at least camp life In connection
With the National Guard. They found
out that camp such as the National
Guard holds is not what II is cracked up
te be. They experienced a gres, many
cifhcultics and hardships which boys as
young as those who compose the cadet
regiment are not used TO.
Those who participated in that camp
can SIN recall the night on which the
entire battalion, mn by man. was
tossed IN blanket hr members Of the
National Guard They stood thr test
wonderfully we'll. but the volunteers did
not like tho idea of having the cadets
with them, and this year II was de-

the high schools and fer the members Of
the National Guard that they be left at
home.
