At the moment some ex- porters express the belief that New cheapest cotton market In the world, and circumstantial, confirmation evil dence is found In the fact that re- quests for offerings are frequently met by the interior with the assertion that New Orleans is too low" The significance of this changed environ ment Is realized when one remembers that during all the years New Orleans enjoyed the support and co-operation of the South practically the only com plant heard came from the consumer who claimed that this market held rel atively higher than the remaining markets in the cotton belt. Is there no lesson in all this for the man who produces cotton? "On the day New Orleans broke even on both Decem- ber (s.70-Range 866-73) and spots g Is for middllng. The tone was call ed quiet"

MARKET SLUGGISH

 PILE.
Spots Were About the Same on Monday Mill Man Gives Attitude of
 

Mllls.
 Montgomery's cotton market considertng the time of year, Is practically at a stand still. 1t is thought, because of the owners of cotton waiting for the outcome of the meeting of bankers and farmers in Bir- mingham. Some cotton sold here yes terday, and fair lot came into the city. but this was principally to be stored and held for the time when 'teen'' will follow the cents in naming the price.
 New York futures closed at 6 80 for Oeto- her. but this did not have any effect on To- cal spots, the best price offered here being SAC for middling. and shc for strict mid ding.
 A representative of the one of the larg- est cotton milling companies of the North east was In, the city recently and he firmly declared that although the mills are not stocked with raw material. they are jam med with finished goods that must be mar keted before they can buy any more bales He says this condition Is prevalent through out tahe manufactures of the country.

Twenty years ago, in Gardner, Mon

3, Bronson Of Anaconda e chums
and partners in mischief together
Yesterday Bronson walked into the
chiefs office and said Hello" and II
was thus that the old pals met for the
first time in 90 years.
Immediately began one of those
sessions when each man is sitting on
the edge Of his chair and saying: Say
do you remember that time-?"
well, l should remark" responds
the other, that was when-"
The chief and MI. Bronson had one
long talk all day yesterday and re.
newed the days of their riotous youth.
when, as Bert put it, "He and Bron.
son used to do everything but steal
horses together.
Eyes," said Bronson, when Talgo
got to stealing horses I stayed home
and sold them for him."
Both Mr.. Bronson and Talgo have
been in Montana nearly continuously
since they last saw each other, but
their paths have, never crossed,
though both have lived in dozens OF
different towns and worked at many
trades.

FRIENDS REIMBURSE MAN WHO
cAsHEp CHECK.

Joe Larkins, a young waiter Of this
city, who was arrested at Newcastle,
