 WHILE SPOTS GAIN
Preparations for Reopening Markets Act as Drag on Contract Trading. Decline was Steady and Con-
 stant Until Friday.

New Orleans, Nov. 15.--The princi pal event of the week in the cotton market was, of course, the decision to reopen the futures rings this week.
 In preparation for the reopenine there was considerable liquidation of futures, which was accomplished at the exepnse of values. On Monday, January in the market sold as high as 7.67. The decline was steady and fair ly constant until Friday, when the price touched 745. Spots took just the opposite course, rising from ' 5-16 to 3-4 during the week
 With conditions as they are. traders hardly know what to expect with the resumption of futures trading. Bulls declare there cannot be much of a de- cline with middling cotton in this mar ket at premium of a quarter of a cent or more over January contracts on the other hand bears believe that the market will witness considerable selling from time interior thi sweek.
 Undoubtedly much will depend upon how the spot markets act Heavy trading at first will be drowned upon.
 It is not believed that the new style of contract, conforming to the Uinted States cotton futures act, will make much if any difference in actual trad ing here

LETTER OF CON-
 MISSIONER JOHN H. PAGE
No Get -Rick-Quick Crop.-Farmer Should Grasp This Idea.- It is the Conservative Farmer
 Who Wins Out in the End

There is no get-rich-quick crop. The farmer should grasp this idea and hold to it. Any crop system is a speculation, and few men thrive per manently by speculation. It is the conservative business man that avoids speculation who succeeds in the end. The same is true in farming. The farmer who raises enough corn and hay for his stock, keeps cows for milk and butter, good garden, raises his own meat and work stock, raises pea nuts, potatoes, few watermelons and truck crops, makes his own mo- lasses and helps his wife and children with the chickens, ducks, geese and turkeys, keeps a few stands of bees and a small orchard, plants peas and pumpkins in the corn and raises tur- nips, fall cabbages and beans, before he turns his labors to a money crop will live and be able to buy school books, school shoes clothing and Christmas toys, and pay his taxes, no matter what his money crop may be. If the price of cotton will justify it, cotton is a good money crop, but by all means it should be made a secondary matter.
 My theory is that cattle ard hogs will make the best money crop. A good fat steer will bring from forty to sixty dollars. Hogs will grow into

dollars now quicker than any agricul- tural product, if you will vaccinate them against the Cholera. The hogs and cattle are not perishable like some of the farm products. You can market them any time of the year If the price is low when they are ready to market, you can keep them for a better price. You can't do that with all farm products.
 Stock on the farm furnish manure and save fertilizer bills. Plenty of stock and COW peas on the farm, with corn, grain. hay and forage to fatten it, and the manure saved and used, will keep up the soil on the farm, and perhaps lessen your labor. If you abandon or neglect these you will have to work harder and cultivate more land, year by year, or do on less. Dr. R. NJ. Cow, State Veterinarian, Fayetteville, Ark, will vaccinate your hogs for you if you pay his expenses and buy the serum.
