WHY NOT TRY SILK GROW
ING?

While seeking those products
best adapted for the sunny shores
of the lower Rio Grande, it would
appear that some of our land owners
ought to give some attention to the
silk industry. That it would do
well here there can be no doubt.
The climate and sod are especially
adapted for the growth of the white
mulberry, which tree furnishes the
chief food OF the silk worm, and
the climate is also most favorable
for the propagation of the indus
trious little insect that produces the
fibre which is woven into such
wondrously beautiful fabrics for
nv ladv's wear. Under the foster
ing guidance and bounty of Uncle
Sam agricultural department, il
costs very little to experiment with
Ibis particular branch of industry
First one must grow the mulberry
tree. This thrives equally as well
in sunny South Texas as on the
slopes of Southern France. The
young trees may be had for the
asking at the agricultural depart
ment at Washington. Once the
trees are growing and the necessary
food for the voracious little worm
assured, the department will then
furnish silk worm eggs to all who
wish to make the experiment
There is then almost nothing left
to do, save to guard the eggs safely
until they hatch, then to furnish
the tiny worms with fresh mulberry
leaves once daily for a few short
weeks. At the end of that time
the worm begins to spin its cocoon,
gradually enwrapping itself in lis
silkin winding-sheet as it under
goes transformation into the larval
state. The work of handling the
cocoons is almost nothing, and a
sure sale for them is guaranteed by
t e DEP artmelt. There is no an
er, lighter, or more interesting
work than this, and the results are
sure to be satisfacto Dry. And wo-
man or even children might under
take it for pastime. That it might
be made a paying industry here in
the lower Rio Grande valley, there
is no doubt whatever. Why not
try it? Write to Uncle Sam for
instructions as to how to proceed.

STOCK TRADING
 WAS USELESS Market Moved HesitatingI { Throughout Session LARGE INCREASE IN LOANS Early Trading Showed Disposition to Carry Prices Upward In Spite of
 Free Selling of Steel
 Preferred.

New York January 20.-frading in stocks was listless today and the changes in prices were trivial. The market moved hesitatingly throughout the session, but closed heavy at practically the lowest The early trading showed a disposition to carry prices upwards in spite of free selling of United States Steel preferred and discouraging opinions current over the iron and steel outlook. Prices gave way after the publication of the bank statement.
 The changes in the various items were not fully up to last weeks unprecedented records, but the increase in loans last week with but one other exception has never before been equaled, and the in- crease in deposits never before with last weeks single exception. The loan item of the clearing house banks is now close to the billion dollar mark.
 The New York banks are putting large funds into commercial paper from inter- for points, and large loans have been made on sterling collateral, so that the rapid browth of the loan account is re- garded as sound and safe. It Is pointed out that the increase of banking reserves last year came to a halt in the last week of January, while the loan expansion proceeded from that time to February 21 to the extent of s70. 100000. From Feb ruary to March 14 last year the New York banks lost over s30,O000o0 cash and the surplus in the same period declined $27, ,213,SO0 These conditions and prece- dents are a force in causing a halt in the speculative movement in stocks. For eign influences today were slight but were favorable to higher prices

 New Orleans, January 30.-The sharp ad- vance in Liverpool today was a surprise as a decline was expected. but the bullish visible supply figures and heavy buying by Egypt, continent and America forced shorts to cover and caused a wild mar ket. Prices here in sympathy opened 5S to GA points higher and subsequently, eased off 19 to 27 points on realizing. The light estimated receipts at New Orleans Gal weston and Houston for Monday, and the frmness of spots occasoned an advance of 32 to S5 points from the bottom later in the session. Near the close room trad CTS took profits caused slight recession making the net gain 66 to 67 points on the day.
 The total visible supply of all kinds dur ing the week decreased 67,OOO against an increase of 43,000 last year The visible supply of American during the same time decreased 93,00 against a decrease of 800 last year. The total visible supply of all kinds is now 900 against A042,00O last year, of which the American is 2,s96,O0 against 3149,000 last year The spinners' takings of American cotton during the week were 291,00 against 264,O 900 last year and their total takings from September to date have been 5.463, ,000 against 5520,- GOO last year, or only 57000 less Last year the consumption of American cotton was 10,S59,000, consequently on the face of the takings the indicated consumption this year is 10,S02000. The movement on it's face points to a crop of 10, 7S3,00; therefore even assuming that the out-turn of the crop and the indicated consumption will be as above, it proves that the statistical position Is very strong. Still when it is remembered that crop estimates have been reduced to considerably under 10,- Ooo'Ooo then the strength of the situation admits of no argument, If the small crop advocates are correct in their opinions and spinners to take spot cotton with the same avidity in the future as they have in the past
 Those who are reliably informed claim that the movement from now out will not exceed 50 per cent of last year, as the interior holdings are the smallest known in years. In addition to these various contentious, 1t is anticipated that the next census bureau report, which will be issued shortly, will confirm these small crop views by inference, even though they doA not isue an official estimate until the early part of April. Strong operators are under the article and predict much higher prices, and barring actual war in the east 1t looks as if the extremely optimistic sentiment prevalent will assist materially in forcing prices to higher level In the meanwhile, with the fre- quent and wide fluctuations 1t becomes paramount that operators should be on conservative lines. and all transactions should be heavily margined to enable customers to stand any marked decline which may be brought about by some un- favorable factor when least expected From and after Monday. February l, there will be no curb trading after D. m on all days except Saturdays, when the curb will close at 12:3o p. m.

 New York. January 30.--The market did not like the bank statement and some stock came out on it in spite of increase in cash. Room traders appeared to have bought stock early but sold 1t to even up over the end of the week and the general feeling was bullsh rather than bearish. Traders were talking lower prices for Brooklyn Rapid Transit on technical po sition for the stock. They think there is still heavy line out though and won't act. There was very little curb market in London. Foreign transactions did not total 5000 shares. Total sales to 12 o'clock 245, 100 shares.

New York, January 30.-Never before has such an advance as that of this morn- ing been witnessed over night in the cot ton market, and perhaps never before has the market showed such wild excitement.

 There were sensation advances from Liverpool also mentioning corner in January February, with excited buying on stop orders, and rumors circulating regarding the conditions of continental Liverpool and American houses. Here first prices were at an advance of 42 to s1 points on the old and 12 to 4s points on the new crop months.

Late yesterday afternoon on the curb traders saw their mistake and they sent in a number of buying orders to Liverpool which caused the big ad- vance there instead of the expected de- cline. With such heavy clearing by shorts this morning. the leading bulls let the market take it's own course. For the active positions prices at the open- ing were 5s to 64 points higher. The int itial advance was followed by a reaction of 20 to 25 points. but before the noon closing prices advanced several points above the opening figures.
