COTTON IS STEADY
PRICES WERE UNCH gNGED ON LO-
 CAL MARKET.
There Were Few Inquiries Here In Reference to Cotton. Hut Only Twenty Bales Were
 Sold.

Cotton remained at 9 Is cents. de- spite a slight rise in the New York markets. Twenty bales were sold at that figure by one factor.
 There were a few inquiries for cot ton, but with the exception of this one factor. none would let any of their stock go for less than 91-4 cents. and only a very little at that. Those hold ing cotton are mostly we'll able to do, so. and refuse to begin to release 1t until the price reaches g 1-2 cents. Even then they assert thfy will hold on in hopes of 10-cent cotton.
 The buyers. on the other hand. do not expect the price to get that high and say that their offers now are about what the spot demand allows.

potent barrier to free business.
 It Is explained that the principa, el- ement of health in the entire goods situation is the absence of stock either in jobbers or retailers hands. Both are short of merchandise"
 Mills in South Germany complain of lack of forw ard business hut the. fact that some of the prominent ones have during the past bad year" paid divi- dends rupning from Is to IT per, cent. stories should be taken with consid- erabls allowance of salt. The war like situation in Servia, no doubt, forces continental manufacturers 10 go slow until the atmosphere clears.
 At the Charlotte. N. C., meeting of hard yarn manufacturers. about 5oo,- 900 spindles were represented. They have about 167 900 pounds of stock on hand (this Is equivalent to about $50 bales of cotton), and they are short g. 000o00 pounds of yarns Qn> other words about 1000 bales of cottonC orders to be filled. One-third curtailment agreed upon but grave doubt Is expressed if any curtailment at all will really be experienced except in cases where mills have no orders and have not financial backing to justify them to Fun without orders ahead. The meeting should have no influence on the market whatever. The magnitude of cotton involved is 100 1nslHnincant.
 Optimistic figures have been sent out by prominent New York house. They follow:
 From the information which we gather, through correspondents. we are led to believe that the total yield will not exceed 1S,000.000 bales of spinnable cotton, and when we realize that the civilized worlds population is increas- ing very much more rapidly than the inpraa 9ad nrndnCtfnn nf cotton fhAra Is nothing that can be construed as bearish in a 13,OOo, 900 bale crpo.
 During 1908 there were forty-fve new mills built in Great Britain to fourteen new mills to use Egyptian cotton. The Manufacturers Record of Baltimore says, in the Southern States alone during the year the spindle ca spindles at a cost of $3.7o0. .000. while there Is projected certain changes and improvements and new mills already for 1909 aggregating an increase of 100000 spindles. This should encour- age an optimistic feeling and a belief in the future. and justify those who are holding the remnant of the crop. !only about l,7bo,oco bales) to demand fuller prices." =
 Cotton is selling about 115 to is5 points. or say from s4 75 to s6.25 per bale less than 1t Was last year, yet we have wheat selling at s1.1S a bushel; corn 66 cents a bushel, oats 55 cents a bushel. lard at g 3.4 cents a pound. and meat ceats a Bound. wholesale at the central markets. that is in Chi cago, which means an addition of 25 to 33 1-3 per cent. to these prices for the consumer. 50 that the indueement to plant cotton with prospect of mak- ing money on 1t at ruling prices is a very unattractive proposition. The some rule applies to the man who 1has the staple on hand; he cannot grow it out of the ground proftably so why got until the lprice pustifies him fin parting with if at reasonable profit over and ibove the cost of produc- tion.

THE FIRST ANNUAL DEBATE.

The debate between the alumni
and the High school at the Armory
last Friday night was listened to
with interest. The discussion was
lively considering the fact none Of
the debators had ever been in touch
with naval work or seaport towns
except from study and reading. They
had given the subject considerable
careful study for which they deserve
credit. 1t is unfortunate so few
took sufficient Interest to come out
as many older ones could have learn
ed much about the naval resources
of the world at large as we'll as our
own possessions. The judges were
Mr.. Ed. Holden of Idaho Falls, Mr..
Adair and Dr. Shook of town. They
decided in the affirmative, which
means the Alumni still holds good
with the young high school aspirants.
