Ware g. LeIand,s Market Letter

The whole of todays session in the
cotton market was devoted to evening up
commitments over the holidays, and the
bureau reports on condition and acreage.
Even the most inveterate traders among
the professionals preferred to decrease
rather than increase their holdings.
At the last minute the trade seemed to
be as undecided as ever in its opinions as
to what the government reports would
say, and there was an entire absence of
the disturbing tips that formerly at
tended every important bureau report.
Before the noon hour the market
looked well evened up. and as II the in
terests in the market were fairly well
balanced.
The market is probably better balanced
than II has been before any acreage and
first condition report in the last five years.
No pools were formed on either OF the
reports, and It was hard to get good
idea of the average expectation. 1t is safe
10 say that many bulls expect q condition
around so, and an acreage around 8.000.-
600. while there are many bears who hon
estly expect a condition of S8 to 80 and
an acreage of at least 30.00O,000

always been true everywhere that
white proved much less warm beneath
a scorching sun than darker tone
and the American woman has adopted
1t as her summer wardrobe this year.
Everything which can be of white will
be found much cooler and pleasanter
to look upon than other colors and
this means every article of dress. 1t
is a scientific fact that white is the
coolest. as black is the warmest color.
The fashion makers have supplied
womankind with real summer dress
this year. No more hot collars and
fitted waists for summer wear but in.

material and loose comfortable-looking
blouses suitable for all ages. The
shirt waist is the real monarch of the
field for general wear and this takes
a very wide variety of forms. from
the dressy and fussy waist deliberately
and inset with lace TO the
real negligee shirt with its low collar
and half-sleeves The latter is a new
conner this season and is favored by
the girl who enjoys any sort of out-of-
door sport. 1t is made of madras lin

SPECIAL SERVICES.
Twenty New Members Received at
Galbraith A M. E. Church.

There was unusual interest manifested in
the religious services at Galbraith A NJ E.
Zion Church, on 9th street northwest, yes
terday. Ali am. the pastor, Rev DR.. syl-
vester L. COrrothers, preached a sermon to
a crowded house and thirteen persons Joined
the church at this service.
At the evening service the church was
filed to its utmost capacity. DR.. Corrothers
opened the services, and after the reading of
the Scripture lesson and singing by the choir
and audience he offered prayer. Bishop j.
W. Smith then introduced Bishop Alexander
Walters of Jersey City, n. J., to preach the
sermon. He took as his text Revelations
2012. He said. among other things: 'In
this age of infidelity, looseness of morals
and great corruption, which has threatened
the stability of governments and everything
terrestrial, 1t is necessary that the church
should look to the holy Bible for light and
truth, and keep close to its precepts."
He said there are many who don't believe
in the resurrection of the dead nor final
judgment If God would change the form
of the loathsome worm to that Of a heauti-
full butterfly, to soar on splendid wings, will
He not do that much for man, the higher
order of his earthly beings? Rewards and
punishments were taught by Christ, and If 1t
is not true the whole story of redemption
falls to the ground.
The books spoken of in the text that were
opened were the memories of men. The
deeds of men are written on the book of
their memory. and they can never forget
them, and they will be the witnesses that
will rise against them in judgment. And
there was another book opened" he said.
This is the lambs book of life" Fervent
and constant prayer is absolutely essential
to salvation.
At the conclusion of the sermon seven per-
sons Joined the church, making total of

Bishop Walters, who, with Bishop Smith,
arrived in the city from Tuskegee, Ala, this
morning left at 10 O'Clock for his home in
New Jersey, but will return and preach at
Galbraith Wednesday evening. He will also
take part in the special program for next
Sunday at pm, when Rev. DR.. w. A.
Blackwell will preach special sermon
Bishop Smith will also be present on that
occasion and several other ministers.
