THE COTTON MARKET
FOR THE COMING WEEK
What Is the Prevailing Opinion as
to What the Bulls and Bears will DO


New Orleans, March 26.-This com
ing week the cotton market is eX
tremely likely to be deadcned by the
approaching session of congress. To
some extent it was felt last week, and
this week traders on both sides will
do more or less evening up of COM
mitments in order to be prepared for
any legislation that may come up on
future contracts.
1t is believed that legislation Of a
beneficial nature will be attempted,
and that interfcronCeS with exchanges
will take the form of government SUI
pervision. This is something that the
best element in the cotton trade is
hoping for and openly working for.
AS the situation now stands, however,
spectators will treat as bcarish in
huences any agitation I'm congress until
it positively known that the meas
ures to be introduced are not similar
in character to the Scott bill which
failed last session.
4 Weather Market.
IL is now much of weather mar
ket and the daily swing of prices Will
be the result more of the constitution
placed on the weather map than any
other factor The market Will open
for the week with the trade anxious
over Sunday. The forecast called for
rain over practically the entire cotton
belt. and should the returns from the
belt indicate that general rains fell.
the advantage will be the bear side
for the feeling still exists that the
deficiency in rainfall as the result of
winter drought has not been made up
OF course with continued rains the
time will come when complaints Of
too much rain will be heard.
May Prevent Planting.
4 few days more of wet weather
and planting and preparations for
planting will be interfered with, while
in the very early sections ii will cause
foul and grassy crops. Statistics We're
very bullish last week and the move
ment for this week started off with
the promise that the into-sight would
again be very small
The generally accepted theory is
that week of large spinners' tax
ings is as rule followed by a week
of smaller takings. Last week TAX
ings We're exceptionally large, which
causes belief in smaller takings this
week. At the same time the into
sight movement promises to be so
small that Il large decrease in the Wis
ible supply is possible, and after all
the variations in the visible supply
are the main features of the weekly
statistics. The figures last week
bullish as they were, had no effect on
the market but 1t is unnatural to sup
pose that the statistical position can
continue to strengthen without cauS-
ing an uphcdyal sooner or later, and
many experienced traders are watch
figures closely, knowing what is bound
to take place when conditions are ripe.

Anti-Military Riots SpreadiDg---Situ.

Milan, via the frontier, Sept. so: =
Italy faces q revolution at home as
the result OF her conquest ofTripoli.
The situation is already out OF the
hands OF the authorities in many GEN.
tres and anti-military riots are increas-
ing in intensity
Realizing that the war enthusiasm
is manufactured by government agents,
except in Sicily, where the enthusiasm
is genuine, the heads of the specialist
party in Italy is preparing to force
the government to copvoke parlla-
ment. This is the one thing King
Victor and the war party is anxious
to avoid, fearing the sentiment OF the
representatives who are closest TO the
people.
The threat OF martial law through.
out Italy, made by the King to curb
the revolutionists, has added to their
ardor. They declare that every avail
able Italian soldier will be needed to
carry out the pretcntious dream of con-
quest of the military party and that un-
less the war is speedily ended. the
reigning government may be over
thrown.
Modane, France. Sept. 30.-Anti
militarist agitation i'll Italy against the
war with Turkey is becoming very
formidable, according to messages
smuggled across The frontier today.
Details are lacking, but it is known
that King Victor is considering dec
laration of martial law throught Italy
to keep the anti.militarists in subjec-
tion.
Except in Sicily, where there is gen.
uine enthusiasm, the stories OF pro-war
excitement among the Italians are al
most wholly Of government manufac'
ture.

THE NEW COMET.
Celestial Visitor Growing Brighter
Nightly.

A new comet, expected to rival in
magnitude and brilliance that dis
covered by Sir Edmund HALEY has
made its appearance in the northern
heavens. !;
The new comet, it is SAID, can be
seen with the naked eye. 1t now ap.
pears directly above the end OF the
handle OF the big dipper aud looks
like nebulous star. 1t points toward
the zenith Of the heavens. Only with
theeaid Of telescope may the comets
tail estimated by Prof. Brooks to be
100000 miles in length, be seen.
According to the computations OF the
astronomers of the naval observatory,
the tail is about 100000 miles in
length. As near as can be ascertained
from present calculations, the comet
is about As, 100000 miles from the
earth's surfsce.
1t is believed it will come close
enough to the earth to shine a:
brightly as HalIey's comet. Its tai
IS rapidly developing and the whole
oo'ecs Is becoming larger every night

Summer washing means days discom-
fort every week-unless you use
Fels-Naptha soap.
A hot fire on summers day is heart
breaking; every woman knows it. If you
wash with Fels-Naptha you don't need a
hot fire. Boiling is unnecessary.
Fels-Naptha will clean the clothes bet-
ter and quicker in cold or lukewarm water
than any other means. That is why
Fels-Naptha is not only soap, but a
different way Of washing.
No boiling. No hard-rubbing on wash
board to heat you up. No time wasted.
Makes your white clothes whittier and
sweeter than you can get them in any other
way: Wet the things, soap freely with
Fels-Naptha, let them soak for thirty
minutes; then rub lightly, rinse and hang
out to dry.
Sounds easy, doesn't it3 And it is easy.
If you have tried it, you know. If you
haven't, try it next washday. But be sure
and use Fels-Naptha the Fels-Naptha
way. Follow directions on the red and
green wrapper. >-------~----

EDUCATORS IN CONFERENCE

State Superintendent Calls a Meeting at
Which the Needs of the State
Will Be Decided Upon.

Jaekson.-Hon. j.. N. Powers, state
superintendent of education, has issued
a letter to all the county superintendent
OF education in the state who are now
in office, as well as those who have been
elected for the feur-year term, inviting
and urging them to meet at jackson on
December ~ and 10.
The object is to hold a conference,
and to further the plans of the public
educational work in the state. In his
letter Superintendent Powers says, in
part:
"In reviewing the progressive meas
ures passed by the legislature during the
past four years, I am convinced that
they have been brought about largely
through the influence and the discussions
and recommendations of the county SUI
perintendents in their biennial meetings.
"The legislature meets in January.
Your meeting in December will, there.
fore, be a potent factor in securing much
needed legislation to promote the inter
ests Of the public school system, and
you are earnestly urged to be present
and take part in the discussions of our
school problems on the dates men
toned"
And to the county superintendent
elect he says:
"The department and the county su
p~erintendents need to meet you and gel
your views before we begin the worl
Of the next our years"
