United States winter crop belt
Corn rose because of the bulge in
wheat. Prospects for more seasonabIe
temperatures counted also against the
bears.
Heavy stocks were partly offset by the
fact that receipts had noticeably tapcrel
down.
Oats reflected the strength of other
grain. Transactions though, were on a
limited scale.
Higher prices at the yards gave the
provision market a lift. Realizing of
profits by holders ensued, however, and
kept the advance within moderate bounds.

NEW ORLEANS.

NEW ORLEANS, January o4.-After a
lower opening today the cotton market
recovered and went to d net advance.
The ring was not active in the early
trading, and much of the business done
was the result of the desire of longs to
even up over the week end. Later how
ever the market acquired a firm under
tone, the ring became active, and 4
good volume Of business came in, much
of it being the result OF fresh buying
for long account. This switching of
sentiment was caused i'll 10 small meas
ure by reports from states in the western
belt that the seed for planting was too
poor to be of any use. Reports from
Texas were that the situation in this
respect was serious. Traders We're at first
inclined to sell because of rains, but
later turned into buyers on the poor seed
complaints.
\ continued good spot demand, predic-
tons of large mill takiugs III the near
future. exports to Japan of 1"rUo bales
and the large amount of cotton on ship
board in this port awaiting clearance were
features that resulted i'll more or less
buying.
The market opened steady at a loss of
4 to 8 points on poor cables. Liquida-
ton of the long account was rather heavy
in the early trading. but the lowest levels
reached were ! to 6 points down Later
the market went 6 to 5 points over YES

NEW ORLEANS, January Ftp to
Friday the cotton market had good
tone, and the general tendency was to
advance. Ginning returns Friday We're
larger than expected and turned the
course of prices the other way. In the
early part Of the week the Improvement
in the spot department was the main IN
f1uence. For the week this was a de-
cline Of to 4 points, except on Jan
uary. which closed up. The high
prices were made Wednesday and the
low prices Saturday. At the highest the
trading months We're ID to II points over
last weeks close; at the lowest they
were . to IS points under The range
was ~ to 80 points.
Throughout the week spot accounts
were very encouraging. The demand Tor
the better grades was keen and 1t was
said it was growing better for the lower
grades Prices of spots were firm at the
advance nearly everywhere, with the bet
ter grades selling at the highest OASIS
of the season compared with futures
Bears claimed that the spot activity was
chiefly the result of the covering or Jam
uary commitments. but bulls thought
the Improvement permanent and due TO
a realization on the part of the buyers
that supplies this season are small TO
meet the indicated demand The local
spot market gained SIG OF cent Tor

example, take this case: Here is a man
who has been single for nine months of

Seuii-finished steel was irregular. Not
withstanding the reports of higher prices
for sheet bars and steel at Pittsburgh,
domestic open hearth billets were offered

Meaning Is Explained.

one is no better off than he was before,
because it is impossible to get it's
meaning. 1t is this: If d person was
single for d time during the return
period and marries before the end of
the period, then he is subject to make
his return in this way. If he has filed
with the Treasury Department any of
the ownership certificates claiming
$4,000 (s2,5OO) exemption. then he is
only entitled to $4,000 (s2,500) exemp-
ton for the period between the LIST of
March and the date of the last certifi-
cate in which he claimed, but $4,000
($2 500, and for the rest of the time
he will be entitled to married mans
exemption of $4,000 (S3,333,33). This
also applies to the other case, which
was put about the married man losing
his wife before the end of the return
period. This seems very unfair \
case arose yesterday. y man who had
no coupons or other income which re-
quired the filing of any ownership GER
tificates in which he could have claimed
the exemption of married man dur
ing the return period, and lost his wife
IN December. What exemption would
he be entitled to: The answer Is
$4,000 ($2,500), because he first makes
a claim of exemption ON his personal
return in December, at which time he
was a .widoWer, and the decisions say
mat his status is that of d widoWer,
although he was a married man for
nine or ten NOR his. This same thing
applies to the man who marries within
the return period, if he has not made
any claim for exemption before filing
his personal return. lie gets an eX-

The long straight tunic is one of the
made of founcing and of material with
equal success. In the larger view, em-
broidered marquisette is arranged over
crepe de chine and the upper edge Of the
tunic is finished with little outstanding
frill. In the smaller back view, the tunic
and skirt are both of chiffon taffeta and
women will be quick to see that there are
great many other possibilities. A
founce of lace over silk is not alone
handsome, it also converts partly worn
gown into new one. Among seasonable
materials are great many embroidered
cotton crepes and one of these used for
the tunic with the under skirt Of plain
material would make an exceedingly smart
effect while the value of the tunic or
founce of contrasting material to be
arranged over the skirt that begins to
show signs of wear is apparent at a
glance. For treatment of this sort, any
pretty harmonizing material can be used
for the founce so long as bits of the same
are carried into the blouse as trimming
to give the costume idea.
For the medium size, the skirt will
require 8 yds. of material IT, 2H yds.

ana a sad reflection upon our women
that law is in full sway forbid
ding the use of dead birds or any deco
ration which encourages the slaughter
of birds on hats or heads.
The reflection on woman is a SER
ious one
She should never have made the
law necessity.
Dead birds or portions of dead
birds in no way give comfort or
health to the wearer as the ad-
vocates of furs claim is true of that
part of womans wearing apparel.
Even the foes to furs wear shoes;
and it seems in the clothing of
our bodies, if not in it's nourishment,
that animals must to some extent be
sacrificed.
But our birds can be saved from
needless slaughter since they serve
no purpose dead, save to cater to
woman's unthinking and selfish van
ity.
And living they serve many beau
tiful purposes-they delight the eye,
they please the ear, and they protect
our splendid trees and our orchards
and our harvest fields from pests.
Church members and mothers of
children would do well to send a two
cent stamp to the Humane Society,
Albany, New York, and ask for leaf
let's on the subject.
1t will afford them an opportunity
to help the work along in easy and
simple ways and awaken the minds
of their little ones on this important
subject. The child who is taught early
to think of his responsibility to dumb
creatures and to feel sympathy and
affection for them will not grow up
