THE COFFEE MARKET
Tone OF Trading Heavy-Prices "a
TO IS Points Lower.

The tone of the coffee market was
heavy a. the close, with prices 81 10 -
points lower. Though there was some
liquidation, the market was easily in
fuenced as transactions during the day
were Light. There was some hedging
against purchases abroad, which helped
to depress prices The turn In sentiment
was attributed by some to less favorable
conditions az Brazil. as evidenced by a
more urgent desire to sell which has been
manifested in that country recently.
Some notice was also taken Of the decline
in the rate OF Rio exchange on London in
this connection.
Brazilian markets were irregular. Rio
No. was unchanged at 4s225. Santos
No. 4 was 100 refs lower At $4,000. Rio

Big COTTON EXPORTS
S7IRS RUSH OF BUYING
Sharp Recovery in Market on
Record Shipments of
Season.
INTEREST IN WHEAT GAINS

rb,re was an active ana higher mar
~, in cotton Yesterday and buying was
=, hotter character than had been in evi-
ssnce since the market eop'ncd for hust-
ness little more than month ago.
7, fact for the first time the news
seemed to partake Of typical bullish
character, aud while the various cncourag.
,nr items were Offset by others OF a less
c,eerf,Il nature, IT was the bulish news
which dominated attention. Short cover
,,x was In evidence. but there was also
. fair amount of investment buying.
Traders seemed TO attach a great deal
a, importance to the Government report
m winter wheat acreage. which showed
big gains in most Of the southern states.
Although the wheat acreage throughout
N. South has been small, the tendency
toward diversihcstion is especially
marked Gains over the winter wheat
acreage OF 1918 ranged from 20 to goa
per cent. and were particularly pro
nounced in Georgia, Alabama and South
Carolina. An incre ase of probably more
.bsn 100000 bales of cotton was SCI
down to the South.
Exports es ablished a new high record
for the season, with 10000 bales. Not
ooly is this the most cotton that has
been exported for any day this season,
hut IL also comes close to the record
Tor any season.
There is more or less encouragement
over the outlook for the Wade syndicate
man for loanlng sl35,O0o,O00 on cotton
As stated In this column yesterday, the
interest and other charges wall amour,
10 more than 10 per cent, and moreover
the routine necessary TO obtain loans on
cotton entails considerable delay.
The announcement from Washington
concerning the new Government standards
Of grades for cotton was of interest &c
spot concerns. These new standards have
been changed radically from the old GOV
ernment STANDARDS and now closely ap'
prox.mato IN type the International stand
ards indorsed by the Liverpool confer
enee In 1913. 1t was expected that Liver
POOL would adopt these standards, or a.
least take some aC,iOn regarding them OF

SLAUGHTER OF THE lNNO-
CENTS.
TTHE little poem beginning

l. Baby-by,
Here's a fly,
shows the spirit with which the
house fly used to be regarded
and even appreciated as a do
nestic ornament and baby's
plaything. They did not realize
that baby's life lay with the
filthy insect who "tickIed baby's
nose" and who was most prob
ably just from some consump-
tive's or typhoid patients sick
room or from neighboring
stable.
AS soon as the fly has emery
ed from the she'll it is ready for
it's deadly work. 1t starts out
from the stable or the garbage
can in search of more filthy
food. Around it flies from one
insanitary place to another. It
enters the sickroom and gath
ers there the death dealing bac-
terra. 1t gets typhoid germs on
its legs and flies away to some
table and wipes them off on the
food. It gathers tuberculosis
germs and crawls into tho sug-
az and over tho butter and often
ends by tunabiing into the milk.
It is hard enough for grown
persons to fight off tho contami-
mating flies, but helpless babies
arc wholly at tho nercy Of their
worst foe. Tho flies swarm
about them, settle down on their
faces, walk over their nursing
bottles and leave only when
driven away by tho baby's res
cuer.
