terial weakness in the southern spot mar kets.
 For the first time since the beginning of the session, exports of cotton this week exceeded those for the same week last year, and advices coming in from various southern ports suggested a continued large movement during the balance of Decem- Der and January, particularly from Gal weston.
 The census figures on supply and dis tribution showed a falling off in domes- tic mill consumption for the month of No- verlber as compared with both the pre- vious month and last year. Stocks of lint cotton in the hands of the mills on De- cember 1 were comparatively light in keeping with the reports that domestic spinners are still buying only for their more immediate needs.
 Such increased offerings as may have come from the interior in order to secure funds for the holidays or first of the year obligation are therefore, supposed to have been absorbed chiefly by export CTS. Meantime the big increase reported in the winter wheat acreage of the cot ton states has led to more confident talk in reduction in cotton acreage next spring, and local brokers say there has been somewhat better demand for the late months from investors.
 The advance in contracts, however, was been most generally attributed to cover ing or rebuying by traders who had sold during the previous week in anticipation that the record-breaking supply figures would shake the confidence of interior holders, but who found very little hedge selling, while advices reaching local spot dealers have Indicated that pre-Ioliday offerings in the south have been smaller than usual this year.

They Would Learn to Sing

"I am left alone with the care of three children, and 1t is all I can do to give them the necessities of life. My daugh- ters can have no luxuries. Children nat urally love music, and I think if they had something with which to teach them they would learn to sing. There may be some one in the Corner who has an old photograph which Is no longer any amusement and not used. We would think so much of it. My 6-year-old prays every night for this. That is why I write.
 MRS. 0. R.

Fifty years ago the church observance of Christmas was a very simple enc. There was the singing of carols, the dec orations of Christmas greens and very little else.
 Then the place of giving gifts to the children began to creep in and then every kind of thing began to happen in the way of Christmas trees, cantatas, Santa Claus festivals, while Brownies and "Gnomes' held high carnival.
 Schools strained their treasuries to give candy to children already satisfied with sweets and cheap gifts to those who held them in small account.
 Gradually there has come an awaken ing. People who have in reality fol lowed the star" until it has led them to

 the King have been asking whether or not the whole thought of Christmas has not been concealed by false notions, and whether indeed and in truth the spirit of the Christ child has prompted the Christmas festivals. So by degrees the thought of the "giv- ing Christmas was born and began to grow.
 In those Sunday schools where Trial of giving instead of receiving has been honestly made, it would be very diffi-' cult to again proomte the old plans. Now comes what one writer calls 'The Browning Christmas Service of the Ages" the White Christmas | The thought came from the legend of the King of Cathay to whom on his birthday his loving subjects brought | gifts, the rich, embroidered fabrics, ivory 1 and pearls, the poor handfuls of rice | and white pigeons. l The King did not regard one gift above the other so long as all were "white."
