Ware & LeIand's Market Letter


While there was a light advance in cot
ton at the opening, on the higher prices
in Liverpool there seemed to be too much
cotton for sale and not enough general
buying to carry ON the rise, after the
opening.
As a result, July worked from II. IL
back to Il. II with the new crops selling
to below Saturdays figures.
The weather map showed an improve
ment and this led to more or less feailz-
ing in the new crop
After the opening, the market began TO
assume a holiday character, with price
fluctuations unimportant and not enough
general business to give decisive tone,
There was general feeling, however,
that the actual demand for cotton is sueh
and the disposition of the south to hold
for higher prices of nature to opfate
against very much of a decline at the
present time The market is in rut ana
it seems difficult to get May over ll2o ana
July over Il 20.
Every time the market gets up to these
figures, or in the vicinity of these ng.
nres. there is such selling that prices iall
back. It looks very much as though the
market would continue narrow until after
the HOLIDAYS and will then be determined
by the weather Reports from the south
indicate that conditions have improved
some but any bad weather now would re-
suit in sharp advance in the new crop,

Christmas
AT THIS time next week, Christmas will have
come and gone; and Santa Claus, that kind gentle
man whose pleasure it is to make young America hap
py will be resting from his arduous toll and wonder
ing whether the world is any better after giving free
rein to the Christmas spirit At this time next week
little Johnny, Freddy, the may be, will be
crying his little heart out, all because one of his
wooden soldiers lost arm, or because wheel came
off of the coaches of his gaudiy painted train of
cars.
The Christmas spirit of giving presents is quite
universal It is recorded that it is better to give
than receive, meaning, thereby, that the giver
ceives greater pleasure in bestowing gift, than he
or she does in receiving one On this day, no mat
ter how close may be considered during the
rest of the year, he opens wide his purse and allows
his generosity full sway. He remembers his poor
relations whom he has not heard from in years. and,
if he is exceedingly wealthy, he recalls the povertyof
the poor man who lives just around the and
sends him a substantial gift. The Christ spirit of
love another, and to do unto others you would
wish them to do unto you, receives renewed vitality
on this day. Christmas Day helps to reunte the
nations of the world other day in the year, and
we pity the child who has not received present or
shared in the joys which the day ushers in.
