WHY NOT GET THE BEST?

The above question will apply to those contemplating the purchase
OF a sire TO head their herd, and the time has arrived wherein your final
Judgment should have the most careful consideration. Errors of this kind
are easily made, but it takes a long time to overcome them.

the Bates strain) In which | have several excellent sres from 3~to Is
months old, any OF which you would feel proud Of at the head of your
Q q, and when you buy of me you are not dealing with a stranger. They

and terms. Always glad to show you what l have.

Several weeks ago The Fost announced
that the Southern Pacific was taking
census Of its employees to ascertain the
number and Identity Of all Hartman line
servants who had reached the age Of
three score years. prior to the announce
mcnt au effort was made TO ascertain the
meaning u the census Resident officials,
however, declined to make any statement,
ON tho ground that 1t would not be proper
to torestall Mr. Harrlman's intentions.
Vice President Markham, when inter.
viewed. declined 10 explain the movement
but when the hint was thrown ont that
old employees feared dismissal he expressed
establishment thai such an idea should
possess any ones mind, pnd stated en-.
phatlcally that nothing Of the Kind was
contemplated
From Sacramento came tho report that
certain old employees had Dccu dismissed
from the service This vas seized upon
by agitators as proof OF their fears that
President Hartman meant TO prupc hts
system OF all employees partially incapaci-
tated by age An investigation by The
Post, however. revealed the fact that the
dismissaIs at sacramento were based upon
lnfractions OF service rules and had Daught
to do with tao census.

Cotton Letter
 c. W. Lee & Co s Cotton Letter to coth-
 ran & Co.
 New York, November 17.-Heavy rains in Texas and frosts in Oklahoma caused an advance in cotton today. Then, too, an improved stock market helped things considerably Receipts were liberal but the market seemed sold out for the time being After selling at 795 the March option declined to 90 only to react to 96 in the afternoon. December was the card selling at 500. Spot people own good deal of December and will ask for the delivery of every bale. This cotton will then he turned over to the holders Of January. For this reason we woud not sell December under any circumstances. With any strength in the market what ever there may be a decided advance in December. Spot people would like to get the price up to attract more cotton here. The more the better as far as they are concerned This premium on December cotton makes May and March shorts more or less nervous. The price is now at a time where decline must take place in Southern markets to weaken the local market much.
 Of course if Wall street is going to break badly and more January has to be sold in the market, there is not much chance of a decided upturn in the price of cotton. And if receipts keep on much ahead of last year we may see a lower range of prices before there Is sufficient inducement to buy for permanent in- vestment. As the present market is ex- tremely difficult to analyze and prices break just whom they look most like ad- vancing and advance when they look like breaking we would sell on bulges and only buy on good breaks.
 The December strength and uncertainty over the coming bureau on December may be sufficient to offset a liberal move ment and bring about slight advance It's likely to be a trading market for some time.
