New Orleans Cotton Market

New Orleans, December 12.-Cotton fu- lures opened steady at decline of l to points on poor cables.
 Shorts still were buyers to realize prof It's which prevented the market from making full response to the decline in Liverpool
 The official weather map showed con- siderable rain in the cotton region. there by causing local fear that picking was being interfered with. Thisssaided the list to some extent.
 Straddle traders bought here against sales in Liverpool Soon after the call prices were 1 to 2 points over yester- day. Ring scalpers put out short cotton on this small advance, and at the end of the first 30 minutes of business prices were points under yesterday. The list became very quiet around the middle of the morning, but prices were steadily held up. Shorts were not ag- gressive. Telegrams from parts of the eastern belt said that many farmers were blowing their cotton under rather extreme necessities. Cablegrams from Manchester told Of good business in the cloth mar ket. This also aided and at midday the prices were 3 to points over yesterday. In the afternoon the list was quiet but steady There was little for sale around the ring and an hour before the close prices were 1 to 6 points over yester- day.

If this is true, we may bring in a few car loads and let every person have Christmas tree at a reasonable price"

SMALL GAINS ON ], THE STOCK MARKET
Prices Fell Back Slowly To- ward Mondays Clos
 ing Level

New York, December 12.-Trading in stocks flattened out today in way which disappointed bulls, who had hoped that the market would become broader and more active after yesterdays upturn. The market was enlivened at the opening by a general buying movement, which ele- vated prices generally. But it was only a flash in the pan. Within few min utes the life died out of the trading and prices began to fall back slowly toward yesterdays closing level. At the end of the day net changes in most cases con sisted of gains of small fractions. The largest advances were made by indus trials such az American Locomotive and General Electric.
 A noticeable feature of the market was that it seemed to have strong under tone throughout in spite of the fact that the demand for stocks had fallen off ab- ruptly. Yesterdays series of events fa- vorabie to the bull side attracted some outside. business over night and it pre- sumably was these buying orders which stimulated the market at the outset. When these orders were filled the realizing ta- pered down to slender proportions. Pro- fessional traders made little efforts to extend the rise and many of them availed themselves of the early upturn to take profits.
 News of the kind which influenced prices was as scarce today as it was plen- tiful yesterday and 1t was pointed out that most of the developments of yes- terday had been expected and to some extent anticipated in price movements.
 Another advance in the price of copper metal was reported, some sales having been made at 131ac Copper prices con- tinue to rise in London. The copper stocks were less active.
 The money market today again showed the effect of the more favorable position of the banks. Both time call funds were easier and the demand for time money loaned as low as 21a per cent. The easy conditions eased the tight market at the end of the year. Foreign exchange rose about 25 points today. The increased demand was ascribed to inquiries in con- neetion with the London settlement.
 Canadian Pacific, after a quick advance of nearly points, lost most of it's gain. The rise was due to yesterdays an- nouncement of the forthcoming issue of common stock.

How TO Reclaim Land.

Dr. Fred Mutchler, the instructor
who is here with the teachers in their
institute this week, will deliver a
lecture tonight at the court house on
the subject" The Conservation Of the
Soil, or Reclaiming the Worn out
Farm" This is one of the most
important matters that could be DIS
cussed, as land is becoming valuable,
and there should be the very best
use made Of it. American people
have not begun to get the returns
from the land that they should.
The court room should be packed,
especially by those who are interest
ed in lands. Admission free, and
all invited. DR.. Mutchler is man
of learning, and knows how to pre-
sent forcibly the facts which he has
gathered by wide study, work and
experiences. There has not been a
more versatile man before our people
in long while, and not only the
teachers have been benefited
by his presence here, but every one
Who has been in contact with him
has gotten valuable information and
lasting inspiration.
