THE COTTON R

NEW YORK, Jan 21.-The cotton
market opened steady at unchanged
prices to IN advance OF 1 point and
ruled very quiet during the early trad
ing. Cables were a shade better than
due but not sufficiently so to stimulate
any fresh buying of consequence and
prices worked only 2 or 8 points above
the closing figures of last night during
the early trading, as a result of scat
tered covering and q little demand
from trade sources. There appeared to
be more or less confusion as to the
probable showing Of the census report

the market acted as II scattering &C

never a snow or a chilling blast to
prevent out-of-door sport and industry.

and New Orleans is ideal. During the
other three months the weather is con-
tinuously warm, but never extremely
so; lightweight degrees is a high tenn

offer in this rich alluvial delta the
cheapest and most fertile lands to be

naturally rich that only the pillow is
needed to produce four times the pres

lands are being bought at ten dollars
per acre and drained for another ten

with $500 to establish himself in his

We are without prejudice against

The great port of New Orleans is
well prepared for the immense new
business in store for this worlds port

Some ten years ago there began a
movement to improve the facilities of
the harbor, so that greater commerce
would be accommodated and the cost

sheds extend down the river front.
These docks are connected by a belt

and service charge is made for these
facilities. Huge ships, capable of
carrying million-dollar cargoes, are
lined up in great number, and the port
today has taken on an activity which
indicates in no uncertain manner the
immense business that will shortly
come to it by the opening of the great
western ship channel.

Good Way to Mend a Rug Frinae

If your rug has torn fringe do not
put it in the attic, but mend the fringe.
1t is very easy to do and well worth
your pains.
Cut off all the fringe, get piece of
pasteboard four inches square and
wind around it yarn of color to
match the rug. Wind the yarn one
way around the pasteboard five or six
times and slip it off. Then put one
end of the yarn through the end of
the rug and pull the other end through
and clinch it. Keep this up until you
get all the way across the end of the
rug. If only little torn and you can
match the fringe exactly you do not
need to cut off all that is there. This
method, of course, is equally good for
any fabric fringe
