COTTON MARKET REVIEW
In the Spot Department Last Week
 Prices Fell Quarter of Cent.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
 New Orleans.-Price changes in the cotton market last week were signifl- cant. The most active future posi- tions lost to 14 points. At one time they were Is to 25 points under last weeks close and at another time they were 2 to 10 points over. The range for the week was 25 to 32 points.
 Large crop estimates by brokers, spot people and private crop reporting bureaus were the main depressing in- fiuences. Added to it was hedging by spot owners and some little liquidation of long cotton.
 In the spot department prices lost a quarter of a cent. middling closing at 13-l6c against 2 7-16c last week and 13 13-16c this week last year. sales on the spot amounted to 3,120 bales. against 2.1S0 last week, and 5.314 this week last year; sales to arrive, 11,375 bales against 5,160 last week. and 14.- TOP this week last year.

skunks Yield ss,ooo, 900 a Year.

The skunk brings annually to the trappers of the United States about three million dollars. It stands sec, ond in importance only to the musk rat among our fur-bearing animals.
 The value of a skunk in the raw for market averaged from about twen' ty-ive cents to $3.50 In December 1913. and usually runs higher
 In 1911 2,000.000 skins were export. ed to London alone. Although this fur is not very popular in America, Europeans favor 1t, because it wears we'll and has a luster which makes |, rival the Russian sable in appearance

 Berlin, via London.-It is officially announced that the Germans occupied Lodz Sunday.
 Lodz, city of some 100000 popula- tion, is the chief manufacturing cen- ter of Russian Poland. It has numer-- ous textile mills, the majority of them for the manufacture of cotton goods. In addition, it has machinery plants, flour mills, dyeing establishments, brick yards and breweries. The popu- lation is made up of Poles, Germans and Jews.
 The evacuation by the Germans Saturday night of Vernelles, south west of Bethune. in northern France, was officially announced here Sunday. The statement says:
 "Vernelles was evacuated by us, ac- cording to our plan, on account of the continuous French artillery fire which was causing unnecessary loss The buildings which remained standing were blown up by us, and our troops occupied positions prepared east of Vernelles so that the enemy could not follow.
 Southwest of Atwirch the French renewed their attack with reinforce menta but without success. and they suffered heavy losses.
 Reports received in Berlin indi- cate that the Servians still are capa- ble of offering considerable resistance. The Servian rear guard in the neigh borhood of Arandjelovac tabout 40 miles southeast of Belgrade) have de- livered several attacks to cover the retreat of the main army.
 Although for two days there have been no details of operations in any of the theaters of the war, entire con- fidence is felt in Berlin that events are progressing favorably for the Ger man arms. The report that in Poland operations are following their normal course can only mean success in the German advance, as checks would not be described as normal.
 "The appointment of Prince von Buelow as a minister to Rome has been received with general satisfac- tion."

The Mexican Statea.

Mexico consists of S2 states and ter. ritories and is politically a federated republic, its constitution being pat. termed after that of the United States of America. The population of the country in 1900 was 13.697 .000. On account of the strenuous life of Mexico for several years past 1t is likely that its present population is not much in excess of that of IA years ago.

We never have had. and while we retain our present principles and ideals we never shall have. large standing army If asked. are you ready to defend yourselves, We reply. most assured. ly. to the utmost: and yet we shall not turn America into a military camp. We will not ask our young men to spend the best years of their lives making soldiers of themselves. There is another sort of energy in us. It will know how to declare itself and make itself effective should occasion arise. And especially when half the world Is on fire we shall be careful to make our moral insurance against the spread of the confiagration very definite and certain and adequate in- deed.
 Let us remind ourselves. therefore. of the only thing we can do or will do. We must depend in every time of national peril. in the future as in the past. not upon standing army. nor yet upon reserve army. but upon a citizenry trained and accustomed to arms. It will be right enough. right American policy. based upon our ac- customed principles and practices, to provide a system by which every citizen who will volunteer for

COLLEGE NOTES.

Enthusiasm runs very high as regards
the U. V. M. game to be played at
Vermont Saturday. Prospects seem
to be very bright for the Middlebury
team to bring home the bacon, as the
saying goes.
A slight mistake was made in this
column last week when it was stated
that the ladies of the town presented
the team with blankets. The blankets
were given by the ladies of the alumni,
and some of the ladies of the college
aside from the student body.
The men of the Freshman class inter-
ested in basket ball held short but

over a number of candidates. He an
nounces that preparations will at once
be begun for the ensuing season. A
number of the fellows are daily getting
in lot of practice and it begins to look
as if the season would be very sue
cessfu.
A number of the older boys of the
High school and quite a few of the
freshmen met last Wednesday evening
at the Y M. c. A. rooms and organ
lied a Young Mems Bible class Ralph
