COTTON IS RUNNING LOW New Workers Bringing It
 From Abroad. JULY GOES TO il CENTS Wild Scenes are Witnessed
 on the Exchange. Rush of the Covering Demand Throws the Pit Into Generalization
 New Records
 Made.

New York, May 14.-Another new record for the seasonswas established In the cot- ton market today in fact many of the older members agreed that 1t was doubt full if any session in the entire history of the Exchange compared with today's
 The big feature of the day was the price of II cents made by July in the last half hour of trading. In the same time Au- gust sold at 10.7. May made new re- cord of 11.R and spot cotton was quoted at 1i.61. These prices were the highest in twelve or thirteen years and added to this the transactions were of enormous volume.
 At Nttimes the scene at the floor was one of the greatest disorder and the rush of the covering demand threw the pit into demoralized condition.
 Most Active of t44e Year.
 At the opening of the market trading was by far the most active of the season and on the upward rush May sold at 11.4o. July at 1o.9s and August at l0.s7--all new records.
 The Liverpool reports gave warning that the day would be a lively one, as sales of spot cotton there reached full dollar a bale higher than yesterday. Early cables stated that some of the for etkn BNoft AultEtStS were Guo ultf ASt taking all the cotton offered at the high est prices of decade. The largest tn- dividual dealer in spot cotton in this market received message from Liver pool reading as follows:
 "The market will only stop advancing when cotton gives out. 1t Is getting very scarce now" @
 Liverpool stocks are smaller than for a great many years and the consumption of American cotton is at record figures.
 The market started with a rush with this news from Liverpool, orders com ing mainly from commission houses. One firm had traded in 5000 bales before mid day.
 Amount on Hand.
 The total amount of cotton which is now here available for delivery on May con- tracts Is S9,250 bales, which has a mar ket value of about s5s bale, or equiva- lent to a total valuation of nearly $5,- 200, 900. This stock shows an increase of over 5000 bales from Tuesday and 10000 since last Saturday and compared with s2, 600 bales April IS. The total amount of cotton now here of all kinds by run ming count is 10000 bales against 5S,0O0 on April 15.
 More cotton is being brought here by those who had sold the May option short either as hedges against transac- tions in spot cotton or on differences be- tween this market and Liverpool. who had intended to make good their con- tracts to the bull clique rather than go into the pit and effect a settlement by buying the cotton back.
 Some of those who were short even brought some cotton back from Liver pool and 1t is. understood several larger lots have been sent on here from points in New England secured from the mill men and dealers there. At the present market price about $5,ooO.OOO worth of ac- tual cotton will thus change hands here during the closing deal in this May op- ton.

MOONS PHHsEs.
rHANKsGrvINa DAY.

Once again the people Of this nation
will pause in their strenuous career TO
give thanks for the goodness bestowed
upon them by a merciful and forbear-
ing Creator. Once again we viii cele-
brate Thanksgiving Day. Not be-
cause, il is hoped, the President pro-
claims it, but because in our hearts
We feel grateful to 1.-THE Giver Of all
good and perect gifts" for that which
We do not really deserve.
The wheels Of time roll relentlessly
and again we have reached the one
anniversary Of the year which calls
forth sentiments that should be inn
planted in every living creature-the
spirit Of gratitude and thankfulness.
III this giving of thanks everyone
should join heartily, for there is not
0 ne whose condition has been such
that he has not a cause to be truly
thankful IL is not worse. and it is but
just to give fitting recognition to
tie all-wise Giver.
Those who look for perfect happi-
ness and contentment in this world
afe doomed to disappointment. 1t has
boon willed by Providence that we
should never be satisfied with our con-
dition. II we were, the useful pur-
pose for which this life is intended
that Of fitting as for a better home
would be lost, and it is decreed that
We must day by day keep on striving
III our efforts to attain the coveted
god Of well spent life and bliss
fl immortality.
la many ways the year Of 1908 has
bsnn prosperous one. The lands have
yielded abundant crops and in this
country, especially. the husbandman
his been enabled to realize fairly
& "a price for all of his commodities.
We have been free from plaques and
, thence. and sickness has only
visited limited number of our homes.
alany persons lose sight of the fact
that they can derive much pleasure if
they would throw of some of their
selhshness and for a little while at
least try to make some fellow being
happy. It might be only kind word
O. some little deed that costs but a
few moments effort, yet it may mean
al influence which might change the
whole life and character of some one
upon whom fortunes smile has cast
but a distant glance. If we do the
best that we can, life even under the
most favorable circumstances is a stern
reality. No matter what our condi-
tion may be, let us give thanks not only
tomorrow, but every day in the year.
