COTTON UNCERTAIN
IN NEW ORLEANS
Weakness in Session Fol-
lows Period of Indi-
cisi0n

New Orleans, February 1s.-fhe cotton
market today displayed weakness late in
the session. after a period of uncertainty
and indecision. In the morning no great
amount of business was done and prices
were worked below and above the level
of Yesterdays close. Later, heavy trad
ers began feeling for the market and
finally applied sufficient pressure to cause
a quick decline. There were no new fea-
lures and the market was mainly pro-
fessonal affair.
The opening was steady at decline of
to 4 points, due to selling we'll scat
tered around the room. The weather fore
cast for rain for the entire belt caused
buying and the most active months went
to 10 points over yesterdays anal quo
tations. The advance was short lived. At
noen prices were about at yesterday
close but in the afternoon there was a
drop TO a level to IA points under yes
terday's final quotations, the new crop
months showing the least weakness. which
was taken to mean that strong interests
were buying them. In the last hour OF
business shorts were profit takers and
this sustained prices in the absence of
support from the bull side. The close
was Officially called steady with prices
showing a net loss of to IS points.

A Fitting Tribute

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
A few short years ago one balmy spring
day II was whispered that new neighbor
had come TO live on beautiful Huntsville
avenue. The ladies said that it was
likely child and they said well. From it's
mothers breast it got strength and
health, and 1t was not long before the
children on the avenue had the bright
faced creature with them on the bluegrass
lawns. Often you have seen frolicing
and laughing little ones in their short
frocks, and after a while when modesty
and decency call for the apparel of the
bloom of years, then you have looked
upon natures lovellest and best. From
childhood's Fairgrounds to those of blush
ing girlhood on winding and attractive
Highland avenue she went to make happy
all those around her. The dew and sun
had brought into the world a rosebud. 1t
grew into full bloom and heaven trans
planted it into a garden there far beyond
mans vision.
/ saw young manhood lean over this
helpless form, the lips were closed, the
tongue was silent in death. Down there
in Elmwood the sod was placed over her
grave. It was a bright Sunday afternoon.
Next morning a neighbor took mother,

Birmingham as Stopoyer Point

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
Why don't such wide awake and hust-
ling town as Birmingham make some
effort to have the many railroads running
into and through there allow stopovers
on all through tickets. There is an enor-
nous tourist travel through there at all
times of the year. And nearly all OF
these people have heard of Birmingham
and want to see it,
/ travel out of Birmingham and having
been reared there, l am very much inter-
ested in the progress of the city. Chat
tanooga is allowed these stopovers. And
why not Birmingham? l for one will be

standing at each terminal station to
show our visitors one of the best towns
in the south. Respectfully,
