Cotter & Co.'s Daily Cotton Letter.
 New Orleans, Jan. 31.-Liverpool was good enough, spots only $ points lower, sales 10000 and our market opened at unchanged figures, but New York broke badly at the start and tore the other markets down with it. Nearing 10 cents for March there was, however, such resistance here that the difference widened to over 90 points. New crops showed strength and are at- tracing interest. There are very good reasons in favor of this buying of new crops below 10c. With fine crop prospects,, everybody talking big crop and nobody dreaming that 13,OOO, O,OOO-bale crop would be absorbed by the trade with serious depression in prices, the lowest new crop options sold last summer were barely one cent below present new crop prices.
 Today we are enlightened about. the worlds requirements. another large crop is needed, prospects for 13,OOO ,OOO-bale crop would not convey the same bearish ideas and there will undoubtedly be a large absorbing demand for early receipts on their grade. All this points to important price fluctuations in new crops this spring and summer.
 The spot market is quiet. Good looking around, but buyers and sell lers are apart. Some low grades sell ing at concessions and differences on low grades from middling are likely to be widened tomorrow, spot revision today The into-sight for the week looks like 393,00O against 2o2,930 last year and 239,633 i1t 1905
 Futures recovered some of the loss but are dull. Traders watch New York and are waiting for decisive news from the spot markets.

Millar, attorney for the company, had entered a formal plea of not guilty on behalf of his clients to the first count of the indictments. There are no less than 1903 counts in the indictment and Mir. Millar tried to have quashed all except the first count of each of the eight in- dictments against the company thus reducing from S3S, 100000 to $50, ,OOO, the possible maximum fine against his clients upon conviction. The motion to have these counts quashed was promptly overruled by Judges Landes, and Mr. Millar then declined to enter any plea upon the counts in question. The court or dered the clerk to enter plea of not guilty,

Remarkable Growth Shown by Report
Of Librarian for October.
A remarkable growth and expansion
of the public library during the month
of October was shown by the report of
the librarian, read at the monthly
meeting of the trustees Monday night.
The increase in circulation and the
number Of readers exceeds all prevf-
Gus records made. A total Of 1892
books were circulated by the library
during the month. which is an increase
Of an average of thirty day over the
same month of last year. One hun
bred fifty-three, new readers took out
cards during the month, which is close
to three times az many as the average
number issued each month. An es-
pecial effort has been made by the IL
brary force to enlist the interest or
those who have not been patrons OF
the library, and the result is crafty
ing. During the month 145 new books
We're added.
! One OF the smaller unused rooms OF
the library is to used for a rest room
for strangers or those who may need
it, and the board authorized the pur-
chase Of a leather couch to be used in

A POPULAR FOOD pELlcAcY.
Why karo Corn Syrup has Attained
Such High Favor for Every Use
"Erom Griddle Cakes to Candy"

To one who compares the relative
merits OF Karo Corn Syrup--its good
ness, It's purity, It's food value and It's
price-with those of other products for
similar use. there is little room to
wonder why 1t is rapidly displacing all
other syrups on the market.
karo Corn Syrup is clear, golden
syrup of the golden grain. so exquts-
itely good that it makes griddle cakes.
waffles, biscuits, etc, fairly melt In
ones mouth. 1t Is delightful as a
spread for bread. Housewives claim
that it's peculiar delicate and pleasing
flavor make Karo unapproached for
baking, candy making or for any use
where syrup is employed as sweet
ening agent.
More than this, Karo Corn Syrup
is food of remarkable value, so riu-
tritious and sustaining has 1t proven
to be. 1t delights and benefits the
old and young, the weak and strong,
digesting with practically no tax upon
the system Because of its wholesome
and natural purity, it has received the
unqualified endorsement Of food en-
perts.
The method of packing and selling
Karo Corn Syrup in air-tight, friction
top tins is, a commendable one, for 1T
insures unaltered purity Of the product
at all times.

First Meeting of Searchlight
Club Addressed By Eloquent
Chicago lecturer
HIS ADDRESS PROVES a TREAT.
Speaker Touches on an Uncommon
Phase of Educational Development
He Contends That Reverence is the
Embodiment of the Highest Culture
Clubs Season Opens AuspiciousIy.

The third season of the Searchlight
club opened auspiciously at the Rail-
road Y, M. c. A. Monday night, with
an attendance that was gratifying, and
a lecture Of merit that was decided
departure from subjects which have
been heretofore presented before the
club Rev. Jenkin Lloyd Jones. of
Chicago, the speaker, brought to the
club a. message Of educational devel-
opment that proved interesting. which
he presented under the subject or
1.-THE Three Rs"
More than 100 men, including n
number from the various shops of the
city, were held in the closest attention
for more than an hour while the Rev.
Mr.. Jones disclosed a theory of educa-
ton more fundamental, he claims, than
the three RS" readin', 'ritin', and
'rithmetic," upon Which education to
large extent was supposed to be based
thirty, forty or fifty years ago.
DIR. Jones three Rs are all en-
braced and included in the single
word reverence, altho each Of the let
tiers stands for a distinct and separate
degree Of education and culture. His
theory is evolved from similar one
propounded 100 or more years ago IN
Germany.
His first "R'' is the reverence Tor the
Almighty. for the God in heaven, and
Significance Of all that is grand and
mysterious and holy above, and Is en-
bodied in the express Our father
Which is in Heaven"
His second 'R'' Is the reverence for
the things below, for those things
close about US. which make up the
physical world, the animals and the
birds, the flowers and the rocks and
hills.
His third ..R'' is the reverence for
mankind, embracing the science of So
ciety in all of its phases. This rev
erence is the fundamental of society,
and said the speaker, ut teaches the
child not to shout I, I, t. but we.
we, We, and not mine, mine.. mine
but ours, ours, ours
These three FRS he said, Were the
elements Of culture, and the test Of
real culture he saidesis 1.-The width, and
breadth of the individuals regard for
his fellow beings.
DR.. Jones was frequently interrupted
by applause, and the close of his lee
.ture was a signal for. a long, con-
tinued outburst.
In addition to being an eloquent
speaker he is also an excellent story
teller. and his lecture was sprinkled
with stories to emphasize and make
doubly clear his points.
DR.. Jones was introduced by Presi-
dent A. G., Click, Of the club, who
read the short annual address Of the
office before the lecture began.
