Only continue light but are actually
falling off when it was expected they
would increase. SO pronounced is the
falling Off in ret oipts that the large short
interest is becoming nervous ard when
they attempted to cover today the mar
ket advanced sharply. There is but little
cotton for sale, the speculative long in

TO a minimum and with a continuance of
the light movement for a few days we
expect a startling advance in the price

NEW YORK COTTON.

New York. Dec. 1.-THE cotton mar
ket opened firm at an advance of to
points and ruled steadily upward on
active covering and broadening invest
ment demand on continued lighter re-
ceipts and other bullish features. The
demand was the most active since the
bureau report of December 3, and was
largely stimulated by evidences of
stronger spot markets in the South and
abroad: the Liverpool market advanced
4 points on spot cotton and $685. on the
futures. Buying was further increased
by large clearances and claims that
heavy freight engagements forecasted
large outward movement for the remain
der of the month. All classes OF buyers
bought in q large way in the local mar
ket. which, however. was led much OF
the time Dy New Orleans, whore May
cotton was selling at S.34, while S.31 YVES
the price at New York. New Orleans
buying orders were large factor in
the activity here. The advanced prices
were in the face of unsettled Wall Street
conditions, on account Of which there
was a good deal of selling by Wall Street
parties who held cotton and wished TO
realize in order to take care OF their
security interests. But for this phase
of the situation the rise in the local cot
ton market would have been greater as
the buying was very heavy throughout
the session Total sales reached 100000
bales. and the market was finally firmer
at a net rise of to II points.

Enough to Sink the Island.
New York Tribune.l


THE Barbados Agricultural Report
er" has sent to this office specimen
of the volcanic dust which fell on that
island on May Z, 8 and 8. Borne from
st. Vincent" it says. Gin the upper
strata of the air and Their suspended,
this stuff obscured the sunlight and
produced the phenomenon of darkness.
In color and consistency it resembles
Portland cement 1t quotes the fol-
low description of the dust by w. G.
Freeman of the local department of
agriculture:
From the calculated results of a Sc
ries of observations made in Strath-
clyde on the fall of volcanic ash it
would seem that, at a low estimate,
about thirteen ounces fell per square
fot between the hours of 5 p. m. on
Wednesday and 5 a. m. on Thursday
This perhaps may not appear a large
amount: but look at it from another
point of view. Thirteen ounces per
square foot means III ounces PEI
square yard. or. to express it in famil
lar terms in an agricultural commun-
ity, no less than 1872 tons per acre.
Leaving for the while minor units,
such as acres, we find that 1920 tors
of volcanic ASH were rained on to ev-
cry square mile of this island during
the last twelve hours of darkness
Surprising the fall to have been APP
equal in depth over the
whole island. the almost incredible
amount of 1,699,S40 tons of solid mat
ter was added to Barbados last night.

THE LAND QUESTION.
TAudubon Republican,

One of the best posted men in this
section OF the state, a man OF mature
wears. capitalist who has made his
money by the exercise of his own good
Judgment and fortunate investments,
recently stated to us his opinion thai
owa land at present prices is an eN-
cellent investment. The population of
this country is gradually but steadily
increasing. America has passed thu
point when it is only an agricultural
country, and is becoming a great man
ufacturing nation. Our manufactured
goods have entered the markets of the
far away countries Of all the world
and are successfully competing with
the manufactures of other countries
This class of trade has gone forward
the last few years by leaps and bounds
The balance of trade is recently ire
in our favor. All this calls
for bigger American cities, bigger
American markets for our farm pro
ducts, and they in turn push up the
price of good farm land. The Span
ish war seemed to break over the old
channels of trade to some extent and
to bring the American nation into
world notice, pushing forward its bust
ness. Then the area of good corn
land is limited. All these things make
our friend think good Iowa land has
not yet nearly reached the permanent
figure.
Then comes another man success
full business man who has accumulated
a splendid fortune in the past thirty
five years, a man whose judgement is
regarded as of the very best, and says

Your Old Home.

he thinks there never was so good a
time in which to sell Iowa land as to-
day, for it was never before so high.
He thinks it will be much lower some
time within the next few years. He
says the earning capacity of Iowa land
will not pay the interest, taxes and
keep UP the repairs on farms that cost
$50 to $50 per acre. He says hundreds
are going in debt for so nearly all the
purchase price of these high priced
farms that when q crop failure or two
comes and when money becomes a
little scarcer, and interest rates go
up u little and the loan companies de-
cline to renew some of their loans,
manyof them. not being able to meet
their obligations. will have to let their
places go to satisfy the big mortgages.
These are opposite opinions from
able business men. There is truth in
each position. 1t is impossible for hui
man wisdom to see far in the future.
1t surely is safe to say that Iowa land
is good property to hold. 1t will bring
an income about as surely as any in
vestment terrestrial. But one should
not be too heavily in debt for it when
hard times come, as come they likely
will some time. Hard times are a
little like the thief in the night-they
come somewhat unawares. When they
come is q poor time to unload. Then
the unloading has to be done at big
sacrifice. Speculative craze should be
avoided. No more should be paid for
Iowa land than it will earn. for what
ever it is above that will be lost when
there is no boom.
These may be commonplace remarks,
but conservatism is safer and better
than recklessness.
