New Orleans Cotton Market

New Orleans, August 13-Cotton flu
lures opened steady at a decline OF to
8 points on weekend liquidation by bulls
Cables were about as expected and the
bulls saw nothing in the weather map
to cause them to enter into fresh pur-
chases The weather forecast promised
showers in the western half OF the cotton
belt over Sunday and this increased SELL
ing from both sides. kilograms from
Texas said that the movement of new
cotton was still increasing, and that the
great flood of offerings was causing prices
to weaken somewhat. This news pre-
vented weekend short covering and
prices at the end of the first half hour
OF trading We're to points under yes
terday's closing.
The market grew weak around the mid
die Of the morning under increased selling
from both sides. Reports we're circulated
that much of the cotton being bought In
Texas was destined to be rendered on
August contracts in New York and that
the first notices would be issued Monday
This caused considerable uneasiness
among longs and they let go freely. To-
ward noon prices Of the more active new
crop months were 10 to 16 points under
yesterdays closing This break tempted
shorts to take profits on a moderate scale
and their buying checked the decline
The market closed steady at a net de-
cline Of II to u points.

From the New York Sum-.
 q have earned a good income for the past two years by teaching marketing to classes of women," said a woman who was for years the buyer for a New York restaurant 'I have classes of from 10 to 20 women and my charges are $lo course, which comprises 10 lessons
 When the higher cost of living began to be felt few years ago I was ap- preached by a woman's club whose mem- bers wanted to be taught how to supply their families with good food at the least cost That is the way got into the lecture field. AS 1t in no way inter- feres with my business as & buyer I still keep 1t up and I have found very little trouble in getting up classes.
 "As meat is the subject of which all women appear to know least I begin with it in my first lecture, and really never let 1t 20. That is, talk about meat alone for the first two lectures and after that bring in the uses of the various cuts as I go along. I never use charts after the first two lectures, but actual samples
 "At first I brought small samples to the lecture room. This did very well for some commodities, but later I hit on the plan of taking my classes to market. Now, every day when I go to do my mar | examine everything I buy and l show them the difference between that and the kind I do not buy. r.
 Last spring I had call for lectures Tn Philadelphia. It was much more inter esting teaching those Philadelphia women than any class I have ever had in New York In the first place the butchers, bakers fish men, fruit stall men and gro cers didn't know who I was, so they treated me as they would have. done any other customer and thus I had plenty of opportunity to point out to my pupils the kind of food they should not buy.
 q think the Philadelphia woman is a bit more careful when 1t comes to looking a fter her table than the New York woman. It may be that she has more time, but certainly she Is willing to go more into detail and knows more about the subject. The majority of the women over there appear to be interested In learning about the difference between good and bad food as professional would be in learning

KILLS HIS ENEMY IN
 SIGHT OF AUDIENCE

Madrid, October 29.-(Special)--A re- markable tragedy occurred at the Actual idade theatre at Cartagena.
 Antonio Gonzalez, a prominent actor. who has been playing there, was informed that his services were no longer re- qured He had an interview with Sal vador Sorel. the director of the theatre, who also plays a leading part with the company, but Sorel refused to reinstate him.
 During the afternoon performance Con- zalez procured a razor and rushed on the stage while Sorel was acting. The men fought together, but before Gonzalez could be overpowered he tripped Sorel up threw him on the stage and cut his throat.
 He then walked coolly out of the the- atre brandshing the bloodstained razor. The audience was fin a state of panic, and number of women tainted. Con zalez was arrested.

WOMAN WHO CAN USE
 HER EXPERT KNOWLEDGE

points about her business. My. classes here in New York always impress me as lot of amateurs who were doing it largely for amusement or fad
 'I believe that one of the reasons for this difference is the apartment houses, where most New Workers either are. forced or prefer to live. In Philadelphia every member of my classes lived in a private house; there were no apartment dwellers. Besides being eager to learn the difference in quality of the various foodstuffs. they wanted to learn which could be bought in bulk to the greatest advantage. Here in New York there is little reason for woman to interest herself in what should be bought in large quantities and what should not. I don't know of single apartment house where a barrel of flour could be kept without inconvenience to the inmates. The lack of closet room has a lot to do with the high price of living In New York.
 "1 found that in Philadelphia women were accustomed to put up vegetables and fruits for winter use as well as to make preserves ard jellies. Among all the woman that I have lectured to in New York I have not found one who con- sidered the economical side of canning corn and tomatoes. Many women who possessed country homes and declared they were taking my course because of the housekeeping done during. the sum mer rather than done in their city apartment had never canned either fruit or vegetables for the use of their fami- lies during the winter.
 "When told them of women making their living by supplying restaurants with home canned and preserved vegetables and fruits they would all want to get the addresses for the purpose of buying, not with any thought of learning how to do the same things for their own table. .iThis was very different from the Phila- delphia way of looking at the subject. There the women would ask for recipes and want to learn all about the different methods. ,-a~@|. N.s A,
 "I do not believe such a course or lec- lures could be successfully given without taking the classes to the markets and the grocery and fruit shops At least one lecture should be chiefly devoted 10 up to-date cooking methods and utensils. Women are surprisingly ignorant about the newest aud often the best utensils.
 .sThough I cant say that lecturer on marketing must necessarily be good cook. I am convinced that a knowledge of the art of preparing dishes for the table will come in handy. When you ex plain to a class the difference between the tenderloln and the chuck steak It is Eof little use unless you can tell her how each should be prepared to get the best results" @'
