THE T MARKET.

NEW YORK, Jan. 4.-The cotton
market opened steady. but at a decline
of IL to is points, and sold off TO a net
loss of q points on the active months,
owing to weak Liverpool cables and
rumors that leading spot interests were
heavy sellers yesterday. supplying the
demand from speculative buyers. Liqui-
dation was very heavy at the start and
stop orders were uncovered on a scale
down, but the market BEGAN steadier
on support from Southern bulls, with
prices recovering 10 or ~ points of the
early loss.
The market was less active late in
the forenoon. but continued very nerv-
Gus and irregular. May contracts,
which had rallied from 1906 to 1920,
eased off to 1915 toward midday, when
the general list showed a net loss of
about 17@1s points under continued
liquidation, spot house selling and local
bear pressure.

is not too bold he will desist his
nefarious work. But should he be

bells brings the owner of the flock

in this manner the flock is saved

Are You?

Have you ever noticed that the
fellows who run most of the big
concerns of the country are the
ones who always return courteous
answers? If you address the
president Of railroad company
he will listen attentively and make
decent reply. You ask a civil
question of the cub at the depot in
a country town and you may get
fleppant reply. Go into big
store and ask for the manager. He
will talk pleasantly and give you
the desired information. But hap
pen to get in the way of the bright
young fellow who is washing a
window and be will hand you a
package that will make your blood
boil. Drop around 20 years later
and the cub at the depot may have
advanced until he is brakeman
on the local freight and the win.
dow washer will likely be driving
one of the delivery wagons for the
store. The presidents of railroads
and the managers of big concerns
are the fellows who ip the Aowery
days of their youth acquired the
habit of returning soft and cour.
teous answers. This is one Of the
reasons they become railroad
presidents and managers of big
concerns. The cub who knows
more than the president Of the
railroad will always be q cub aud

Sticking to a Thing.

Many business men fail because
they are quitters. 1t may he that
more fail for this reason than
any other. Whatever the pro-
portion, the number is too large.
Men can accomplish more than
ever dreamt Of, in most cases. 1t
is mainly question of holding on
when man is engaged in a pur-
suit into which bis physical and
mental qualities fit. If plants sue
cumbed to every Whit of biting
air in the raw days of spring and
shriveIed up at every drought of
summer, there would be no fruit.
Nature points the way to holding
on with grim tenacity and left
alone the face of the earth is
smothered in shrub and flower and
seed.
In the fields of industry, Thomas
A. Edison is splendid illustration
of these truths. He says: ''1n
scientific work as in all other work
the chief factor of success is the
power of sticking to a thing. l
attribute all that l have accom-.
plished to the fact that | hold on
where most persons get discourage
ed." Grant won his battles by
holding on, not by superior mill
tary tactics. Examples are as
numerous as successful men.
Not all may succeed in the same
degree, since men are differently
constituted and labor under vary
ing conditions, but a doubling,
shifting, varying course leads no.
where. No sensible man would
make mistake of travelling East
