THE COTTON MARKET
Closes Higher on Near Months,
Lower on Later Options.

Overnight buying orders gave the cot
ton market a steady start yesterday, bat
the demand was not active, and under
realizing sales active months were about
points down in the middle Of the day.
The fact that there was very little Jan
uary cotton for sale. added TO reports Of
continued steadiness in the South. caused
shorts to become nervous. and for the
first time this season the January option
sold at a premium over March. While
the near months held firm. later deiv-
cries reacted in the last half hour, aud
the close was at a gain of to points
on December and January and loss Of ?
10 points on later deliveries. Southern
spot markets were unchanged, but the
local market showed a gain Of 10 points
to 13.20c for middling upland. Local con-
tract prices.

The last struggle OF the Moors
Against the power OF the Catholic
kings has been the topic Of many a
romance and poem, and Boabdil, the
miserable rebel. the tool Of women,
the traitor, has become a hero ut the
expense Of his brave father and still
Drawer uncle, merely because It was
be who surrendered the keys OF Ora,
NADIA to Ferdinand and Isabella, and
because as he looked for the last time
upon the towers of the Alhambra, he
stood crying like a woman for the
kingdom he could not defend like a
man"
What a pitiful successor to the
great Abdur Rahman klmanzor, or
even AL Ahmar, the founder Of Boab-
dis house! Yet the average reader,
II he knows Of the Moors at all, knows
OF Boabdil. The great names Of Moor
