New York, March 22.-The cotton mar Ret opened steady, l to points lower and further eased off 1 to 2 points imme- diately after the call under liquidation by tired holders, through commission houses and under vigorous bear pressure Disappointment in Liverpool cables heavy port receipts, liberal estimates for Mon day at Houston combined to make the bull side unpopular for the moment.

 Trading was active in a spasmodic way, with the talent in control for the mo- ment Sentiment was emphatically bear ish on prospect for an Insight" this week of 125, 900 bales, against 11s 900 same week last year.

that. with all respect to the bullish feat ures in the situation. it will be wise to see what new crop talk will do to the market; as far as the old crop Is con- cerned, the price estimate is rather out of line with facts. The figures given and reiterat ed-9, 100000 bales-are almost In. The Insight" figures are already 9100,- coo; another week will add 100000 to 19O,- 000; this will make the crop 9,2o0000 bales before April 1. Southern consumption, fixed and not possible of change, is 37,00O bales a week or 740,00O bales for the rest of the season-in round numbers, a crop of practically 10. 0oO,00O bales without a single bale in sight from now on for the rest of the year. If operators are buying on such figures the market is not a very sound one.

BOOKS
By Paul Pry

A recent correspondent to literary re- view testif1es that he has read during the past five years eleven hundred books, and 1t is no wonder that he admits that his friends call him a ''voracious read er." And yet he has not only read all these volumes but he has kept literary journar' in which he has written the name of every book read and the name of the author with date of birth and death. A great many people do this and if more readers knew the pleasure and advantage of such a record they would not fail to keep one. Such a plan proves a great assistance to the memory and of course where the memory fails, 1t will furnish the required information. Many readers cannot remember the titles and authors of books one year after reading even when a much fewer number are read And still less often can they recall the names of hero or heroine To derive the greatest benefit, however, from such a record there should be a critical esti- mate of characters, scenes. and quality of work, with of course a word or two about the author. For, 1t can naturally be assumed that the reader of book Is interested in the personality of the author.
 Such a record. though. demands time and attention and the devotion of more constant thought than many are willing to give to 1t. But, not only is the rec ord itself valuable. but the greatest good comes from the benefit derived from writ Ing down ones opinions and thoughts. As the work must be concisely written only the leading thoughts and most i'm portant facts are written. and the mere effort of such work insures the more thorough assimilation Such a record should include magazine articles also. For constant readers of the magazines 30 often experience the difficulty of re- membering the most sai.ent points of the good articles they have read. where they read them or by whom they were writ ten If such a system Is good for adult reS-ders 1t applies with even greater value to the youthful reader And the immed- late and subsequent profit Is largely aug mented by the pleasure in perusing the journal after the lapse of ten or maybe fifteen years. Those who possess such ''iitrary journal will I am sure agree with me.
