SUNDAY CLOSING AT
THE POST OFFICE
The Wishes of the Patrons OF the Or
flee will be Regarded.

Post Master Hicks has received a
communication from the Post Office
Department inquiring about the feast
bility of Sunday closing here. AS is
we'll known already, a number OF the
larger cities of the country have al
ready adopted the idea Of closing the
general delivery windows on Sunday
and distributing the mails in the boxes
only. BY this plan large number of
employees in the larger officers were
given Il rest.
However. in a city the size of Lau-
rens, the plan that has heretofore been
inaugurated would not amount to
much for very little mail is handled
through the general delivery window
anyhow The only plan that would
aid the postal employees in any mea-
sure would be to do away entirely
OF the mail. 1t is ABSOLUTELY neces-
Sary. under the postal regulations.
for some of the employees to be there
on Sunday for the reason that there
is large amount of mail which must
be received here and sent out again.
Post Master Hicks would like to
know the wishes of the people on the
subject. III they would like to do with
out their mail Sundays or do without
certain classes of mail, letters etc. for

HOLDING NAY FORCE PRICE UP.
Campaign of Cotton Farmers Gives
Much Concern. -:

| New Orleans, Nov. 19.-This week
the cotton market will again struggle
with market reports, and it is hard to
tell now how they will affect prices.
Tuesday morning, at 9 o'clock, the
census bureau will issue report on
ginning up to the close Of business
on November 13, and Saturday morn
ing it will give out a report on the
supply and distribution of cotton up
to November 1.
The report on ginning has caused
great deal of guess work, but the
trade is undoubtedly looking for rath-
er bullish figures. There was ten
dency to predict figures of 100000
bales, but the average expectation at
the end of the week appeared to be
for about 100000 balls. .
1t is claimed that the weather in
terefer ditw the handling of cotton
this last period, although many peo-
pie contend that enough cotton was
stored in the seed to keep the gins
running full blast 1t is not improb-
able that the holding movement has
had something to do with keeping the
amount of cotton ginned down. Many
telegrams were received from differ
ent parts of the belt during the week,
stating that farmers was holding seed
cotton as we'll as baled cotton. In
this way the crop is picked, but the
yield is not counted.
One reason for holding cotton this
way is the prevalent belief that it IN
creases the percentage Of the yield OF
lint at the expense of tn seed.
The report on supply and distribu-
ton is not likely 70 cause much stir,
although once in a great while one OF
these reports does contain something
that sets the market by the ears. The
chances are, however, that it will have
little effect one way or the other.
The holding movement and the spot
demand will be watched closely. The
holding movement is having more ef-
feet on the market than most people
imagine, and if it grows. much strong
er it can hardly help putting prices
up. 1t may be that demand to fill
end of the month shipments of actual
cotton will develop this week. If 1t
does, the advantage will be with the
1uil side.
