An association in this county, which
Is supposed to be for the interests of
Barton county people. and which has
been in the past literally patronized
by people of the county, has sent to
Hutchinson to have its catalogues
printed, Notwithstanding that former
catalogues have been printed here in
the county at loss to those doing
the work. The four printers in Great
Bend bid on the work referred to. and
the four papers here have heretofore
contributed macy dollars worth OF
advertising to make the Association
q success. Either Of the home offices
could have done the work as we'll as

citation should now look to the News

New Orleans, La, May 6.-Notwith-

more favorable than expected the i'm
provement was lost when our market
opened, consequently prices here de-
clined 5 to points on old crop months
and on new. Immediately after, how
ever. fresh buying came in causing an
advance of 25 to q on old crop months
and Is to 10 on new. Realizing near the
close oceasioned easiness, making the
net gain IA 10 16 on summer positions
ard S to 10 on new crop months. There
was nothing new in the situation to SUI
peInduce the sharp advance. The
weekly wather report was favorable:
the receipts continue fairly liberal and
there is almost ar entire absence of de-
mand for spots. Nevertheless shorts
covered freely on narrow market and
meeting with no sellers forced the mar
ket up quickly upon themselves. our
market is relatively the highest in the
world therefore we suggest that our
friends who have spots should ship
their cotton here, as they can dispose
of it more advantageously than else
where We also thing it advisable to
not trade in the summer months on either
side unless one is prpared TO either re-
ceive or deliver the actual spot cotton.
SeBtinmte continues very bullish, but
the future course of values on crop
months will be regulated by receipts
and the new influence by weather condi-
tions.
