MARKETS
Jay Bond & Co.'S Cotton Letter.

New York, Feb. 11-Today's cotton
market was quiet with only narro,@
price range. Outside business was
small and without significance, opera
ticns being about equally divided as
to selling and buying. Exports for the
day were heavy, bringing the season 8
total above last years The market
seems to be awaiting some fresh in
centiye for operations and this Is
likely to be found in revival of the
spot demand for March commitments.

PUTTING THE FOUNDATION RIGHT

The movement which is under way
to provide for farming interests the
same credits and facilities for carr
ing on business which are enjoyed by
those who are in other lines OF deyci-
opment and industry is a movement
for greater prosperity and increase IF
wealth in all directions.
President Wilson in his message -
congress presented the truth about the
farmer in words which are as force
full as they are graceful The results
Of these suggestions are soon to he
materialized in a rural credit system
which Senator Gore says viii do for
the farmer in the United States what
it does for the man across the Allan
tic. 1t will give young men a chance
to own farms; it will enable men who
already own farms to improve their
holdings, increase their production
and thus give the relief the country
greatly greater agricultural
output 1t is absolutely necessary
that we accomplish this if we propose
to keep pace with the food demand.

money on fair terms and see how
quickly vacant arms will nave ten

While doubtless many of our read
ers read President Wilson's remarks
to congress about the farmers, we.
nevertheless reprint them in part

which are important to bear in mind
