NEW YORK COTTON MARKET

New York, March 21.-Today's cot
ton market was not particularly active
but offerings were light and prices ruI-
ed we'll over the closing figures of the
previous day. The close was barely
steady at a net advance Of 10 to %
points. Sales were estimated at 200. 900
bales.
The opening was steady at an ad-
vance of Z to 9 points in response to
terday's sellers and a renewal Of bull
support of the near months There
did not seem to be much outside de"
mand, estimated receipts for tomorrow
were full and the weather map showed
no discuieting features, but the adj
vance continued until prices were
about IA to II points net higher. Real
iding and selling for a turn by some Of
the room traders caused a reaction OF
three Or four points from this level
during the middle session, but the mar
ket frmed up again in the afternoon
and reached a new high point for the
day on renewed covering and bull SUP
port, with May selling at 9.73 and July
at 9.74, or "a to 25 points net higher
and about 20 to Is points. net higher
on the general list. Toward the close
a few points was lost under realizing
and selling for a turn by some Of the
local bears on private reports Of rather
easier southern spot markets although
these were by no al general. As
officially reported the spot market in
the south was unchanged to 1-Sc lower,
generally unchanged. Private cables
from Liverpool reported a good trade

DIR. SkeiIenger.


DR.. D. W. Skenenger, pastor Of Sixth
Presbyterian Church. Sixth and c streets

Central Labor Union from the Presby-
terrain Ministerial Association, who will
leave this city in a weeks time 10 take
charge of a Brooklyn pastorate delivered
hts farewell sermon last evening. The
church was crowded and many men
prominent in the local labor world, and
delegates 10 the Central Labor Union
were present President Brinkman, OF
the Central Labor Union. led the delega-
ance with a resolution passed unaui-
mously at the meeting two weeks ago,
when DR.. Skellenger was presented with
a handsome silver loving cup.
DR.. Skellenger took as his subject The
Bread Winners Problem" lie said that
this problem was greater to-day than
ever before, and that its solution was be
yond the power Of the individual to-day.
The waste. he said, that prevailed to-day
was a travesty on the teachings of God;
that right here In this city there was
enough wasted by the rich to feed the
poor.
DR.. SkeIenger said that there was one
good lesson taught by the trusts to-day,
and that was the principle Of conserving.
or utilizing, In one way or another, all
waste in the making OF by-products. The
one good sign of the times, he said was
