 NEW YORK. Dec. 24-The Liverpool mar ket' this morning prior to New York's opening. was about expected 6G7 points down. but it soon rallied and closed at last night $ prices. New York opened wild and excited and the first ten minutes 1t was up 20 points. The fluctuations have been wide and rapid during the day, indicating great contest between bulls and bears. There was heavy realizing, but the market absorbed all offer ings quickly. The prospective Eastern trouble has not seemed to affect the markets. the bulls seemed willing to carry their load over the holidays expecting higher prices early next week. The decline the last hour was due to the heavy realizing. but the market rallied 8 points in as many minutes and closed firm. If it is around these prices Monday we should think 1t good purchase.

 NEW ORLEANS. Dec. 24.-Liverpool suf- fered a slight setback today which cables att tributed to heavy selling of old purchases in fuenced presumably by desire to secure profits before the holidays. Reference was made to the serious possibilities fin the Orient, but without effect in the absence of positive information from that quarter. After the in- itial trading here. bulls gathered their strength and dissipated the idea that liquida- ton and lower prices were in order. Trans actions were conducted on an enormous scale. but the tone of prices was inclined to firm ness throughout the session. Confidence in a very short crop is stimulated by the belief that the rings would be flooded with offerings at this level of prices. if the cotton was avail able and there will be close scrutiny of the movement after the holidays to ascertain if the promised decrease will materialize. The temper of the market is builsh in the ex- treme and the tendency is rather to discredit discouraging developments. Opinions there- fore of little value at the moment. It re- mains only to wish that friends will spend the Christmas holidays in perfect happiness and be cheered by encouraging prospects with the reopening of the markets.

Why should there be anything but merry Christmas for every man who has had anything to do with cotton In it's various stages? The South will have cele- bration not enjoyed in years and to our many friends in the Southern States we extend our congratulations. As to the cotton itself. we have little to say. There Is very little to be said. Take profits before it Is too late. No man can get the top. wise man never tries to, It Is always the unexpected that happens.

We cannot employ too strong language this question The day of reckoning will be serious It is not as though we had been wrong on the mar ket for months. Our buliish attitude all through the advance entitled us to brow out this warning now before it too late. Do not give yourself chance for regrets. Cash the paper profits while there Is time. This is runaway market. one in which man plays no part. It has reached the point where a break might go on until every holder was cleaned out. It is easy to keep the ball rolling, but 1t starts back down hill so quickly that the wise trader always gets out in advance of that down roll. Do not wait for the last quartAr or half cent. By all means sell out long cotton and look on a while.

Iowa, at noon wednesday, July %.
While we are not acquainted with the

mable one ON account of her choice.
''Dave,' as he was familarly known,
lived here with his parents for num-
ber of years, afterwards leaving to
attend Central College at Pella, and it
was while engaged in his school duties
that he met Miss DeHaan, and their
acquaintance ripened into love. Mr..
Hand is now pastor of the Jordan

bride will make their future home.
