Ewes should be handled very care
fully through the winter. Have a
roomy shed, well ventilated, with plen-
ty of bedding and the doors always
open until a short time before lamb
ing, when they should be closed nights.
Your shed should be warm II your
ewes are to lamb In the cold months.
You should have pure water and salt

New York Cotton Market.

NEW YORK. Nov. 7.-COTTON-The market
was barely steady at decline of 10 to 20
points today with mere or less pressure from
hedging sales and liquidation. Liverpool sent
disappointing advices. and while the market did
not open as low as due on cables. the pressure
of cotton soon caused sagging tendency The
fear of a bearish ginners' report was the CHER
cause of nervousness. The cotton market is
sufficiently friendless just now TO make very
sharp advance Southern markets generally
quiet.
Trading was fairly active and large. The
traders were aggressive, basing their views on
the heavy movement fine weather and forecast
OF a bearish ginners report at p. m. tomorrow.
They are now figuring this report showing
about seven hundred thousand bales ginned No
vember 1. 10 which date the report is made up.
In this case the report would have TO show
ginned 2.100. 900 bales in twelve working days
Exports are exceedingly large each day and ex-
porters are no doubt still short of the actual
stuff especially the higher grades. the latter
being very hard to obtain good parity with
the future options. The market is down some
lis points from where 1t was when the last GIN
ners' report announced some two weeks
