THIS WEEK TO SEE REVIVAL, OF
ACTIVITY IN MARKET.
Unable to Secure Spot Cotton, Mills
Are Buying Futures-Bulls Hone
Farmers Will Hold On-Bears Say
They Will Weaken-Cotton Mar
ket's Most Interesting Situation.

New Orleans, La, Feb. 27.-Bro-
kers in the cotton tarde claim that
signs are now in evidence that lead
them to believe in more active mar
ket during the coming week.
If the expected entry of the spin
ners into the future market as active
operators takes place it will mean
that one of the most interesting situ-
ations in the history of the cotton
market will be created. The develop
ments Of the last week have shown
that mill owners have bought cotton
futures and especially March con-
tracts because of the growing diff
Guilty of buying spots. If, during the
immediate future, their purchases ex-
tend to May and July, the other active
old crop months, it means that they
will have decided that their only hope
Tor supplies at favorable prices to
them this season is to buy contracts,
constantly held below the level of
spot values, as they are by the oper-
ations Of powerful bear interests.
That is the bull view of it and bulls.
OF cuorse, are very hopeful that the
consumers Of raw cotton will be-
such powerful allies that the bears
will be covered with confusion and
losses
But the bears have opinions of
their own on the subject. They con-
tend that the spot holder is weaken
ing as the time of planting the new
crop draws near and that during the
coming week he will probably be only
too glad to deal with exporters. who

ments. They point out that should
the remnants of the crop be turned
loose all spectators would lose faith
in the long side for the remainder of
the season and become more than
ever convinced Of the truth of the old
market proverb about not attempting
to bull the tail end of short crop.
So far as the powers of spinners
and spot houses are concerned the
bear side is perfectly convinced that
the leaders on the short side. with
their enormous winnings of the sea-
son and with their original capital
stlll intact can easily resist a world
vide bull movement. They recall
the almost hopeless task the bear
leaders undertook when they first
started to stem the bull campaign,
now they were forced to sell day after
day on a rising market, how they
pocketed losses reaching, it was said.
into the millions, but nevertheless
Kept on selling and predict that the
bear leaders themselves will welcome
fresh signs of bull activity during the
week to come as eagerly as the bulls
themselves, because it will mean fresh
victories and more profits for them.
1T is seldom that the battle of the
rings have been fought by such
powerful interests as now seems to he
lining up. Every move during the
coming week will be eagerly watched
by the thousands of small spot hold
ers in the South.

AN EASTER SONG.
BY ARTHUR J. BURDlCK.

Hang not today with silent tongues!
Ring out, We steeple bells,
And echo from your brazen threats
In glad. triumphant, tuneful notes
The Joy that in us dwells.
Sound on this happy Easter day,
And to the throngs below you say:
Rejoice, the stone Is rolled away.
Hope lies not in the gravel"
Droop not your petals, blossoms fair.
Your spotless leaves unfold
And come this blessed Easter morn
Gods holy affairs to adorn.
There show you hearts of gold.
The world gave Christ the thorny crown
The nails. the spear. the curse, tn.

Come. lilies, shower YOU incense down
In recompense today!
Song. be not silent his glad day,
But lift your notes on high.
Send up he sweet and fervent strain
A grateful. thankful. glad refrain,
With heavens songs to vie.
Shout praises to his holy name
Who from his home in glory CANE
To bear our sorrow. sin and shame
Tina we might i've for aye!
Hearts. be not dumb. but gratitude
Pour out unto our King.
He gave his all that we might live.
Have we no offering to give.
No sacrifice to bring?

And sincere thanks extend today
That angels rolled the stone away
Hope lies not In the grave!

about kissing relatives, friends and
acquaintance and exchanging eggs.
These are sometimes very beautiful

filled with sugar plums and presents.
In Ireland children play a game
called punching eggs" This is play

which the children stand. each sup
piled with eggs. The eggs of each
player are all Of one color and are un-
like those of che other players. The
object of the game is for each player
to so place the eggs standing upright
In the sand as to bring five in a row
touching each other. In turn each
player pulls down an egg, sometimes
filling out a row for herself. at others
cutting off the line Of an opponent.
The one who first succeeds in obtain

I BELIEVE that with every
Easter da WI a fuller efful.

BELIEVE that with every
Easter dawn a fuller efful-
gence Of spiritual light illu-
inmates the earth. Easter spells
optimism. The Optimist is the
only naturalized citizen Of the
universe. He is, indeed, a uni
versal denizen, owner of the
sphere he treads and inheritor
Of stars.
Optimism means belief in the
eternal goodness, acceptance Of
so called evil in the full conf
dence that the evolutionary proc
esses Of divine nature are work.
ing with absolute certainty to-
ward ultimate perfection.
In my view the person who
does not believe in the prepon-
derance of the good over the evil
upon this earth has no right to
call himself a Christian. He
does not believe in Christ, who
believed in humanity and loved
even those who prosecuted him.
He does not believe in God, for
God is the immanent essence Of
good residing in all things.
Easter is both pagan and Chris
tian. Centuries before the Naz-
arene proclaimed good will to
men the pagan optimists cele-
brated the return Of spring as
the awakening, the rebirth, the
resurrection of life out of appar-
ent death.
Every days dawn is an Easter
morning to the optimist. The
spirit of aspiration shakes off its
lethargy of the night as a use
less garment and goes forth
each new day to higher alti-
tudes Of endeavor.
There was a period in the past
century when a movement call
ed transcendentalism stirred the
souls Of thinking men. Ralph
Waldo Emerson was it's high
priest. Emerson was the tran
scendent optimist. He acknowl-
edged no evil in the universe.
He knew only that which was
good and held fast thereto.
We cannot all be Emersonian
in intellect, but we can transcend
our environment. Many of us
are down amid the murk and the
muck, but we can look up into
the light and by hitching Jul
wagons to the stars be drawn up
ward into liberty. Grief bludg-
cons our heads, but it need not
bow them. Sorrow pierces our
hearts, but it need not break
them. If we believe in the JUS
tice of the Infinite, these little
temporal lives will become to us
only as incidents in the irresisti-
BILE upward leading Of the eter-
nal.
Life is the supreme fact. Eas-
ter exemplif1es the triumph of
life. Let us believe only in life,
refusing to be domineered by
the unsubstantial wrath called
death. refusing to be diverted
thereby from 1.-The upward look
ing and the light" Then will
Easter be to us the most signifi-
cant. the most inspiring, the
most uplifting Of all the days
that dawn.
