age of SO, narrating to some members
of his family an incident in his mil

Helen Gould is the only woman who
ever gave money to the United States
government for military purposes. In
1898, at the time of the Spanish War,
she sent her check for a hundred
thousand dollars to aid in the Spanish
War. Later, when a stopping place
for sick soldiers was needed in New
York city, while the government de-
tanned them on the way from Cuba
till their transport papers could be
made out. Helen Gould instantly came
to the rescue. while others were mere
ly considering the question, and

mustered courage to pluck the world
by the sleeve and demand his own,

Cotton Market

NEW YORK, Dec. 1S.-The cotton
market opened steady today at an
advance of to points in response
to relatively firm cables but quickly
weakened under renewed liquidation
or bear pressure which may have
been inspired by reports of an I'M
favorable financial situation abroad,
and large returns of linters. Accord
ing to the census report published
this morning 289.11S bales of linters
had been obtained up to December 1,
this year, comparing with 356,074
bales to January J, last season, and
the most general impression around
the ring appeared to be that this re-
port indicated almost as large an
outturn of linters this season as last.
A fair demand was encountered
around 1850 for March, or about 8
points under the closing figures of
last night, however, and prices later
rallied a point or two from the low
est.
Trading was less active later in the
? morning and while a rally to a shade
over last nights closing figures was
not fully maintained, there was sufti-
cient covering or buying for a reac-
steady tone. Prices at midday were
about net unchanged.
Prices ruled steady during the early
afternoon with active months selling
or points net higher on covering
and continued reports of steady
spot situation.

the result of bearish crop figures from
this country and of more favorable

the wheat market today easy. Rain

to favor the bear side. Resting orders
to buy checked the decline. The open

lowed by a slight reaction.

only a positive calamity would pre-
vent a record yield of winter wheat

Closing figures were weak, lQ1B to
