COTTON MARKETS.
NEW YORK.

NEW YORK. December 22.-The cot
ton market showed renewed firmness
early today on a continued demand
from houses with foreign connections,
and further investment buying. The
to points and active months soon
sold 4 to 8 points net higher, with all
positions making new high ground for
movement in spite of considera BILE
realizing for over the holidays and
predictions that the higher prices
would bring increased offerings of
spot cotton. The steady showing of
Liverpool helped the early advance,
and there seemed to be more orders
around the ring at the opening than
at any time previously since the re-
sumption of business here early last
November.
Futures opened steady, as follows:
December. 72O offered; January, 7.40;
March, 7.59; May, 7.7S; July, 1856, Au-
gust, sos; October. S.23.
The announcement that one of the
larger New England mills would close
down for ten days, beginning next
Thursday may have increased the dis
position to take profits on long cotton
at the early advance today, and prices
eased off or 5 points from the best
during the middle of the morning. The
big exports and the continued absence
of southern hedge selling encouraged
fresh buying on the reaction, however,
and the market was very steady shortly
after midday, with prices still ruling
some . to points net higher

While the Hebrew reverence for the

Palestine must be supplied by the Jews
who are able to accumulate money in
other countries.
However. 1t Is a mistake to suppose
that the Zionist movement has in view
the ultimate return of all the Jews in
the world to Palestine. That country
would not hold more than a fifth Of
the Jews. who now number at least a.
100000 in the world. The movement
does not influence any one to go there
except voluntarily. It is but a visible
sign OF r spiritual effort OF the leaders
or a great race to preserve in some

wherever a Zionist colony has located.
The Jews who settled In Palestine came
from every land, each speaking a diff
ferent tongue except for the Yiddish
used in his devotions.
The fervor the Jewish colonists feel
for the revival of the Hebrew in Pales-
tine was demonstrated last year in tho
struggle made to prevent it being
superseded in certain schools Some
Jews from Germany. America and Rus
sia last year contributed money to
found technical school in Haifa. 1t
was intended at first that this should
be a Jewish school, with Hebrew as the
prevailing language, but the Germans
were not willing to have it SO. The
people of Haifa were so strong in their
determination to establish Hebrew as
the national language In Palestine that
they refused to send their children to a
German speaking school. much as it's
dement's were needed in the vicinity.
The matter has not been definitely set
tied. Even the settlers who were born
and educated In Europe are opposed to
allowing any other language than He
brew to gain foothold in their newly
regained Palestine.
To restore Palestine then to a stand
ard Of civilization worthy of the race
which has preserved the highest civili-
zation of the world for many centuries
is an object which the average modern
Hebrew is finding worthy Of his great
est generosity.

THE JEWISH ZIONIST
MOVEMENT.
By Frederic ]. Haskin.

Last August the Zionist movement of
the world, which has had its executive
Office in Berlin since its beginning,
transferred its headquarters to New
YORK. occupying Offices generously
donated by Nathan Straus. This trans
fer of headquarters has given a great
er interest in the Jewish moveme mt
than had been evidenced in this cour-
try before. With the transfer of Of
noes came also the responsibility of
meeting the financial obligations of the
organization. This obligation called
FOR large sums of money, and the
Inunificence of the contributions being
made by prominent Americans con-
tinually attracts attention to their
object
To the average American the Jewish
movement suggests a rather impracti-
cal and idealistic effort upon the part
of few Hebrews to regain posses
sion of Palestine and make it again
the home of the Jewish people. Few
have any idea of the practical prog
ress which has been made, especially
within the last five years.
