New Orleans Cotton Market.

New Orleans, February S.-Spot cotton was steady, with prices unchanged; mid ding, 11s4c; sales were 12O0 bales on the spot and 425 to arrive.
 Futures opened quiet points below the close yesterday. which was about as due on the cables. This was followed by the active months easing off about , points result of dullness and lack of supporting features Later trading in futures was in somewhat better values than for several days, the incentive to cover being furnished by the promised squeeze in the March and May options in New York This report had the effect of creating some activity. It failed how ever, in causing any very noticeable ad- vance. At the close which was steady, the active months were 1 to points above the close yesterday.

Yes dear. Aunt Busy had much better
Christmas than she deserves. Hhe has wanted furs
FOR the last forty years and she expects to always
want them because furs cost money. Aunt Busy
has always consoled herself with the thought that
She is too short and fat to look good in furs. Per-
baps this thought may help you, too. if YOU too
are short and fat. Try to be contented with what
YOU did get little niece, and do not begin your life

have because you will grow into a most dreadful

FOR WCRKiNGMEN TO CONSIDER

Workingmen should keep away
from Rawhlde, if they are going to
hat camp with the expectation OF.
securing work. There is little or
no, ning for miners, either. Rawhide
is without doubt, one OF the greatest
camps in the State for the amount OF
Development that has been done, but
there is no money there to pay tor
labor The majority of work beng
done in the hills is being done by the
leases. When money becomes more
easy. and it is rapidly getting to that
point, there will be plenty OF capital
for Rawhide. Until that time, we
would advise miners and othcs work
ingmen to keep away from the camp.
