WAR TIME SONGS
Songs That Deserve a Place in
History

The songs that were sung during the
great civil war-that had their origin Iii
rectly from the hearts of the people while
the fierce four years struggle was go
ing on-these songs deserve a place in
history. They served to soothe the fears
and allay the anxious moments of MANY
a crisis when the humming wires might
flash a message that meant the destruc-
ton of the union and the birth of two
hostile Anglo-Saxon nations. They Gained
and comforted the women who were left
at home-with grief and suffering para
mount in each of the days that dragged
out their weary length. They served as
the outpouring of that silent agony which
must find utterance or break the heart
They were the audible and visible sup
plications of the millions that could only
watch and pray-while the gallant boys
in blue and gray fought the battles at
the front.
The music and the words of these war
songs cannot be reproduced today. It
needs the Inspiration of a momentous war
to produce their like. And 1t is eminent
~ fitting that they should be gathered
into one volume such as Heart Songs
This unique book. offered by this paper
almost as a gift to its readers. contains
nearly every song, either of the north
or south, that brought solace to the dear
ones at home. or the gallant boys in
the ranks-during the thrillings days of
the greatest war ever fought. We con-
slider that we are fortunate in being able
to offer this treasury of song on such
terms that every home into which this
paper goes can own at least one copy.
The coupon printed elsewhere in this is

COTTON MARKET
HAS NERVOUS WEEK
Prices Break Into New Low
Ground for the
Season

New York, December 26.-The cotton
Gus and unsettled week The heavy SELL
ing movement which developed shortly
after the publication of the government s
crop estimate on December II became
even more urgent when the report of
the census bureau was issued last Sat
urday, showing 12,923,OOO bales ginned to
December b. Prices broke into new low
ground for the season. Before the decline
was checked January. contracts sold more
than cents a pound below the high level
of last October.
1t is estimated in local circles that no
less than 100000 or possibly 100000 bales
in the shape of contracts held either spec
ulatively or as a hedge against forward
requirements, were liquidated on the last
half cent of the decline and with the
market relieved from the pressure of this
cotton, reactionary sentiment has develop
ed. This has been encouraged by the
more optimistic feeling reported in iinan-
cial circles and by an idea that the tech
meal position of the market had improved
on the break of u cents for spring periods
Covering has been promoted by reports
of relatively steady interior spot mar
vets, but business has shown a tendency
to taper off on rallies of 80 or So points
from the low level of the week. A good
deal of buying on the decline is supposed
to have come from large international
houses and to have represented a reduc-
ton in big straddles lines between New
York and Liverpool. There has been
active covering by old shorts and some
demand has been reported against spin
ners fixing prices General sentiment
however, remains more or less unsettled.
There has been less disposition to predict
further immediate declines after the dras-
tic liquidation and. in view of the rela-
lively steady spot markets. but ginning
figures have encouraged the larger esti-
mates of the crop and many operators
now are awaiting further developments
in that connection.

tai conditions all over the country are

This comment was made by the presi

New York who was at one time president
OF the New York State Bankers associa
ton. He was certain that he voiced the
sentiment of all bankers of New York.
at least all who were operating under fed
eral charter. He admitted that when the
banking and currency bill was first re-
ported to the lower house of Congress he
had gone so far as to prepare a statement
for the consideration of the directors of
Els bank SO that they might be guided in
coming to decision whether or not in
case their original measure became a law
as it was first drafted they should SIR
render their national charters and con-
tinue business under state charters Rut
that was done before the bill was per-
fected.
The statement above quoted is now re-
ported because it tells in a few words the
story of the real sentiment of the bank
ing community of New York CITY. II is
a younger generation than thta which ai-
rected the banks of the United States at
the time the first national banking law
was passed, in the administrati ton of
President Lincoln. But it is a generation
which knows that this first national bank
ing act was not perfected until SUISSE
quent legislation remedled certain defects
which the test of the original law dis
closed. 1t was not until some time after
the nationarl bsnking act was passed that
it was found expedient, even Imperative.

compel the complete withdrawal of this
paper money from the currency of the

amendments adopted at one time and an

the law which now takes the place of that
act will be found workable in every re-
