New Orleans Cotton Market

New Orleans, December 28-Cotton futures opened steady at decline of to points on better cable service Selling pressure developed from the bear side. Cables were about as ex pected, but the market had to absorb offerings from several sources. One report had 1t that interior traders were heavy sellers on expectations of large ginnings in this period, but the trade did not take the report seriously. Liverpool asserted American operators had been heavy sellers there At the end of the first half hour of trading prices stood points under yesterday s final quotations
 Improvement in the tone was reflect ed as the forenoon progressed. Shorts tried to take profits over the week and found they were bidding prices up on themselves. A moderate amount of fresh long buying served to further strengthen the trade. If was said the buying orders were coming from some of the most prominent interests in the trade At no time did the market develop any activity the ring being dull right up to the noon hour. At the highest the near months were 10 [ points over yesterdays last price. Closed steady and unchanged to points up.

To Prevent a Slum District

From the Los Angeles Examiner. Backed by influential men of Los An geles. a Civic Welfare association has been organized for the purpose of fnan- chg low priced homes for the army of working people who are expected to ar
 rive in Los Angeles from Europe when
 the Panama canal is completed. The capital stock of the association is
 to be So0,0O0.
 It is explained by those who are active in the promotion of the enterprise that it's chief object is to prevent the forma- ton of slum district in Los Angeles.
 The houses planned by the association vii, be rented sold on such terms tLat almost any family Sof working people can buy one. It is believed that the rent will range from s6 to $10 g month. The houses
 will be constructed of brick or cement
 and will contain from two to five rooms each.
 All the houses are to be erected within
 the fiye-cent car fare limit and every effort will be made to have their sur roundings attractive. The low prices of
 the houses, 1t Is expected, will make the
 insantary wood shack in Los Angeles
 thing of the past.

Roneheads and Cone Heads

J. A. Fitzgerald in the New York Herald
 Hairless, but happy, several score mem- bers of the Bald Head club of America, an organization for the suppression of hair, held their annual indoor barbecue at Falls Village, Conn, the other day. It goes without saying they had tip top time.
 Not a single strand of hair was per mitted to mar the pleasure of the event. Bald walters, balder musicians and bald est decorations. No such collection or human grapefruit ever has been assem- bled under one ceiling before.
 Every known variety of head was rep resented at the roundup - flat heads. sql are heads. cone heads and bone heads all as free from floss as a darning egg. Each topknot had been furnished to 40 candle power brilliancy for the occa- sion until it looked like an old home week for seachlights.
 The sole requirement necessary for membership in the organization is to pos sess a forehead like COW and be able to lock in the glass without weeping. Any man who is losing his hair, which means every married man in the world, is eli gible for membership. Each applicant has to swear that he vii continue to use hair restorer, this precaution being taken to make certain that no member will try to grow hair after he has been admitted.
 After the bald orchestra opened up the festivities with Just a Little off the Top" the company fell to and ate with relish.
 q always said we'd come out on top" began the toastmaster. John Rodenmyer.
 Cries of Hair, hair" greeted this re- mark. MT. Rodenmyer then read letters O. regret from members throughout the country. Each communication was re- ceived with a shout. A communication from the barbers of the country promis- ing to increase the membership during the coming year was the signal for wild demonstration.
 Herman o. Averill, cattle commissioner oe Connecticut. who stopped looking at the back of his head twenty years ago, spoke feelingly on "Why Is Bald Head?' William II. Corbin. tax commits sioner of Connecticut. who once had suf- fieient hair to make the Yale football team, but who failed to put any aside for a rainy day discussed Poll Tax"
 The souvenirs were sponges.

THE GRAIN MARKET
 CLOSES UNCLAIMED
Ranges Back and Forth in FluctuatiOns-PrOvisiOns
 Downward

Chicago, December 2S. The grain mar kets today ranged slowly back and forth in fluctuations with liquida- tion carrying provisions downward. Closed unchanged to ssc under yester- day corn a shade to hc lower and oats a shade to 1sc down. For the first time there were bids for special delivery of corn and oats, 49l5c being offered for the former and S2c for the latter. Tho wheat market while still bearish on tho foreign situation as reported yesterday and the accumulation of stocks in the northwest. was in the main character less. Somebody reported rain in the Argentine belt. The trade regarded it largely as a cry of wolf with more warp than wool and disregarded it. May ranged between e1ss and 91c, closing Hn ssc under yesterday at s1kc. The range of zc either way marked the widest fiuctuation of corn prices May sold between ssise and 4Sc and closed shade down at 4SQ4Sikc. With the bottom reached, there were plenty of buying or- ders, but these were easily filled with out stiffening the price. Export bids were too low for working effect The inquiry was steady. Oats were stag nant, and the tone somewhat easier. May ranged between S2s4 aS27sc, and Ssss @32Ae, closing a shade lower at S2S4c. Lower hogs and continued liquidation of January options weakened provisions. May pork closed 15c off at $17S5. May lard 25c off at s9.60, and May ribs 7ts@ 1Oc under yesterday at s9.60.

 The Indians think that men should be sent out to them from Washing ton. for they think that their own rep resentatiyes are often intmidated and are practically forced to testify to cer- tain things by men who waylay them on the trains before they even get to the national capital
 There are observers who think that the American people are not giving tho Indians a religious training which im- proves them- I walked past the door of q mission with a Catholic priest. He told me that for 2G years the door of that church had always been unlocked night and day. The old Indians knew that the church contained objects of value. The priest said that with the return of young Indians from the east ern schools he would have to lock the doors of the church.
 "rhe Indian of the old order has high ideals. He is scrupulously honest I never knew of d case of theft among them. They are not as inclined to make war on slight pretcxt against the whites. I have carefully looked into T. have found that they are due to these three causes: First. the breaking of treaties by Americans, second, the frauds of Indian agents: third. the en- croachments of the whites on their lands.

COTTON MARKET IS
 STEADY AT CLOSE
A Break in Market Early Yesterday, But Recovery
 Followed

New York, December 2S,-An early by a recovery today and the close was steady, net points lower to points higher.
 The market opened barely steady at an advance of points on December, but generally to points lower. and sold off 10 a net loss of from 9 to 10 points during the early trading under renewal of the liquidating movement which was in progress at the close yesterday, while the appearance of further offerings of long cotton together with easy cables in- spired rather aggressive selling for scat tering short account.
 This break carried spring months below 12c for the first time since these deliv- cries sold at 1Sc during the middle of the month, and the decline of about a half cent from the nigh records attracted heavy realizing by recent sellers Scat tering liquidation continued, but the de mand proved sufficient to rally the mar ket from the early low point. and at one time in the late trading active months were about 1 to points net higher with May and July contracts showing relative firmness. The close was a shade off from the best under realizing by scalpers who had bought on the early decline.
 Houses with Memphis connections that have been prominent sellers yesterday appeared to be buying today, and leading Wall street interests were credited with purchases of about 5o,00O bales during the first hour, supposed to be in the way of covering shorts. Trade interests gave the market some support on the early break and figured as moderate buyers on the rally, but were credited with taking no aggressive part in the days trading.
