ALL POSITIONS MAKE.
 NEW HIGH GROUND.
Realizing Causes Reactions. Final Tone Steady-Old
 Crop Months Gain

New York. May 2S-The cotton market was very active again today and showed continued strength with all positions mak- ing new high ground for the movement. Realizing caused reactions during the aft ernoon but the final tone of the mar ket was steady with old crop deliveries showing net gains of from p to SS points while the new crop was net 4 points high CT to 3 points lower.
 There was some irregularity at the start. The opening was firm at unchanged prices to an advance of F points on over night buying orders and other support encouraged by the frmness of cables on old crop positions, and wet weather ad- Liverpool connections were buyers of near months, but sold the new crop rather freely and there was also a good deal of local and southern realizing against the later deliveries
 This sent new crop positions ? or 3 points under last nights final figures dur ing the early trading and there was quite a bit of reactionary talk around the ring The near months however showed con tinued firmness and the whole market nrmed up during the middle of the morn ing.
 The advance was encouraged by the publication of a private crop report mak- Ing the average condition only 73.9 per cent and indicating a decrease of seven tenths of l per cent in acreage The de- tailed weather reports for the western belt also contributed to the bulishness or sentiment and the old crop positions sold 24 to 34 points net higher during the afternoon while the crop at one time showed net gains of from 10 to 12 points
 Realizing became more active later while buying seemed 70 be checked to some extent by reports of showers in Louisiana and Mississippi New crop po- sitions sold off several points in conse- quence Old crop reactions were limited so Tar as July and August were con cerned although May lost points of it's advance.

A LITTLE SHOP TALK


Every day strangers and tourists
drop into the Telegram bffice, and
though the plant is hardly straight
ened out from our recent move sui.
nclent for inspection, we show them
through, because they will not have
the opportunity to visit us that lat
er VIII be given to our home folks
practically without exception,
'hey declare the building and plant
10 be the finest they have ever seen
outside a very large city and they are
unanimous in the expression that it
i credit to Lakeland. We appre-
cate these expressions.
Another frequent expression.
which we do NOT appreciate so
much is, There must be money in
running newspaper in lakeland. !"
IN this association appearances are
somewhat deceptive
The owners of the Evening Tele-
gram have not been enabled to
erect building and install a large
plant from the earnings of the pa
per- On the contrary, the publica-
ton OF a daily paper in this city
has been conducted on a very small
margin of profit, and at times at a
loss. There have been times since
we began its publication, that were
we less determined to make a last
ing and permanent success of the
enterprise, and if it were not for
our pride and interest in Lakeland,
we would have discontinued the
daily and gone back to the weekly,
which was making money until the
daily took its patronage from it.
We gave the town a daily paper
before it was ready for it, and be-
fore there was any special demand
for it, simply because we have al
ways wished ourself and our city to
be at the head of the procession
We reached out of town and got
large printing contracts and brought
here-we created business that 9TH
erwise would never have come to
Lakeland, and were thereby enabled
to publish daily newspaper, which
would have gone bankrupt in six
months had it not been supported
BY the big publishing business we
had built up.
AS it was, it has taken work such
as few persons have any conception
OF and we have paid price for our
success such as few will care to pay.
The paper is at last firmly estab-
lished; It is just reaching the point
where it can best serve the COM
munity. 1t is proud of the fact
that i,s efforts are appreciated by
practically every citizen of Lake
