CITIES NOT CURSED
 BY BAD POLITICS

Memphis Commercial Appeal. Two hundred and fifty miles to the south and west of Memphis IS Birming. there were old fields thirty-five years ago.
 One hundred miles south of Birming- ham is Montgomery, Ala, a. city that was ancient, in years even before the war.
 A progressive Memphian would do well to visit Birmingham and Mont learn something by visiting Blrming ham and Montgomery.
 Memphis has larger population than both Birmingham and Montgom- cry. but in appearance. in things which health. Birmingham and Montgomery outstrip Memphis.

 dred thousand population. Every The side walks along these streets are In perfect condition. The broken limestone. The streets of Bir- mingham are clean.
 There are no old houses in Birming- ham, because there were no houses in Blrmin& nam tOTty yours ago.
 The City Hall of Birmingham Is a large and imposing building. The en- tire city impresses one as having rulers of high standard of efficiency. They are progressive in Birmingham. The chief of the fire department there uses automobiles.
 Montgomery is city of contrasts. The older part of the town carries its age beautifully. The old buildings are not permitted to show the scars of their decay, but are freshly painted and when they become entirely useless they are torn away and new and modern buildings are put up in their place.
 Every street in Montgomery Is well paved. and every public building Is kept In perfect order. The police of ficers are intelligent and neat.
 One can ride from any part of Mont gomery to any part of the county at the rate of fifty miles an hour in an automobile, and be in no danger of striking a mud-hole in a bad road.
 In the negro quarters of the town the houses are in good order. The al- leys are clean. The streets are clean and an air of solid and refined comfort pervades the whole city. Neither city has a class of property owners who build "nigger houses' which are never painted and so scar so many places in Memphis.
 The transition in Montgomery from the old to the new is along sensible lines.
 An old residence in Montgomery is comes to tear it iown and put up more modern one.
 The people of Montgomery and Bir mingham do not have as much money to spend for city improvements as do the people of Memphis. but the tax

 There was considerable profit taking In the last half hour. but last prices were ,,,.nin wnn,n point or so of the top, and com The reaction immediately following the call was probably promoted by the report of the international federation of master spinners, indicating stocks of American cotton in the bales. comparing with 1.555.O0o bales at the corresponding date last year These fig ures made little impression, however, while the Dull party in the near months appeared cated generally steady interior markets, and taken as a whole. the days market showed a decidedly better tone, partly due perhaps. to the stronger stock market, re- ports that the European political situation had been cleared up. and claims that the weather was clearing In the Southwest. with recent rainfall sufficient to materially re- lieve the winter drought situation.

 With the boom in cotton at the end of last week and the continuance of the bullish tendency on Monday, the holders have become very cheerful. No spot demand from mills has yet arisen, but the general situation has become so favorable for higher prices to most minds that the future market responds quickly to any bullish news.
 The improvement in the spot market is reflected and though 1t Is no less pronounced for that reason.

 In with the buflish news came the bearish announcement from Liverpool that the International Federation of Spinners show in their report that Eu- ropean mill stocks are one and one- half millions bales more than last year.
 The report is said to include cotton owned on this side; Liverpool no market closed and as their close was 1-2 to up, they evidently did not regard the report as news of impor- tance.
 New York brokers say critical con- ditions in Texas are attracting atten- ton and substantial buying.
 A Montgomery broker writes New Orleans firms to the effect that "ths weather in his section has been fa- vorable most of the week, and that some work has been done on uplands. In the prairie and lowlands however, practically nothing has been done in four Meeks and 1t will require good weather from now on to prevent @ late start"

CHINESE QUIT BUSINESS AND
REJOICE AND ENTERTAIN THEIR
FRIENDS.

Firecrackers and every other variety
of noise-producers were brought into
use at midnight in honor of the Chi
nese New Year Whistles sounded
shriekingly, cymbals and drums and a
host of instruments gave forth vibra-
tions calculated to stir and entertain.
Today the houses and business places
of Chinese are surmounted by the ram
pant dragon on field of yellow, and
fiall3 and huge lanterns adorn the
streets, the flags to catch the eye by
day and the lanterns tube given little
souls of flame at night.
Chinese business is at a stand-still
and all is merrymaking, good cheer and
entertainment an exchange of calls and
a tasting of deicacies which are the
outward sign of the inward grace which
characterizes this merry season.
Strings of hacks and carriages are
parading the thoroughfares and in
nearly every vehicle so used is full
load, the children in their best clothes
happy a state of mind as is possible
in this alleged vale of tears and taxes
The Chinese are receiving their
friends. of other nations, too, as is
their usual hospitable custom and this
morning the various club houses re-
celved callers high and law from Fed
eral and foreign officials to the mere
curiosity seeker who at the same
time scents a bit of free feasting, a
drink or q cigar.
There is no reception at the con-
sulate, as previously announced. out of
respect to the memory of the late En-
peror and the late Empress Dowager.
But the recent demise of royalty does
not interfere with the enjoyment of
the Chinese populace for the holiday is
such that it must be observed by the
people in any event.
