trial average. reporting in 1906, was
S12, 500, against $500 now.
No publication has ever presented
so exhaustive a list as that given
here. In most cases the figures were
sent to The American by the presi-
dents of comp anies, but in order t.
cover the ground as fully as possible,
statistics supplied officially to The
Wall Street Journal have been used,
these being, of course, absolutely
trustworthy. Next year we hope to
cover a still larger number of COM
panies, as corporation managers are
at last realizing the desirability of
having the real truth about the own
ership of Big Business laid before
the public-and the politicians.
Urges 500 Bonds.
May | urge upon bankers, directors
and others responsible for the man
agement of corporations the extreme
desirability of issuing more 800
bonds?
1t is an unpleasant commentary
upon American financiers that there
should be a virtual famine in the
baby" bond market at time when
the $1,000 bond market is severely
congested.
How short sighted this is from a
social, an economic and political
point of view!
America needs every investor that
can be legitimately attracted. Give a
man a financial interest in a business
and he will become the friend of that
business. He will lend less ready
ear to political charlatans. to revolu-
tionists, to socialists. He will devel-
op a sense Of possibility, feel
ing of partnership in the general well
fare of business. 1t will, moreover.
help him to increase his confidence,
stimulate a spirit of thrift and en-
nance his value as a citizen.
Already about one of every Ave fam
ilies is an owner of some form OF
bond. note or stock. Let everything
feasible be done to hasten the day
when every elf-respecting adult will
be an investor at least on a modest
scale.

MEMPHIS, Jan. 17.-Gradual i'm.

features of the market during tbo
past week. The last report from tha
census department on ginning wac

Ing off compared with the previous

suits of this report was the return n
favor OF the crop estimates that wero
in vogue when bulls had things going
their way. 1t was generally admitteS
that the indications were for the Anal
crop figures, including everything N
be within 14,250,000 bales though
some few people are still hanging ON
to the hope that they will be larger
The effect of such a change in opin.
ion as to the prospective supply was
to stiffen the ideas of holders as 70
value, to lessen the confidence of the
bear speculative traders and to arousa
spinners from their confident feeling
that raw material would be ample 10
fill all requirements. The concurrent
increase in optimism as to business
prospects in this country and across
the awter also worked against the
control Of the bears and led to some
buying by traders who have been
holding back. The betterment Of feel
ing in certain of the industries, the
growing feeling of encouragement as
to the attitude of the administration
and the manifest easing of the money
situation likewise contributed to the
alteration of sentiment as to values
of cotton.
Actual In Demand.
There was increased inquiry for
the actual, and the lower grades, for
some time past the bugbear of the
bull side, were becoming the object
Of more attention. Their proportion
was being lessened and the fear that
they would continue to hang over the
market decreased.
The marked strength shown by the
better grades and their increasing
premiums helped demand for the off
grades and the load was gradually
lightened for the holders.
The Census Department issued an
other report Wednesday that gave
trouble for the bears. 1t was on sup
ply and distribution and consump-
ton for the month of Decembel
The figures showed that in the United
States there were consumed 4S2,OOO
bales, compared with 445,00O for the
same time in 1912, while for the first
four months of the present season
the mills used 5000 bales more than
they did during the same period the
year before. The figures were rather
startling in view of the fact that they
compared with records and so much
had been said about trade reacuon
and poor business. Impetus was
given to bullish ideas of the season
consumption, for it IS generally be-
lieved that the rest of the season
will prove satisfactory.

FORECAST OF LITERARY
DEPARTMENT OF FEDERATION

The following is forecast OF the
literary department of the State Fed
out by Mrs 8. L. Lowry, chairnna n
Of this department OF the federation.
1t was submitted to and approved by
Mrs. Hooker, president of the fed
Grafton, having been written at her
request for the year book OF the fed
Grafton soon to appear. This will be
Of special interest to all the federated
clubs Of Pensacola, as it gives a def
mite idea of what the literary depart
ment stands for.
The literary department Of the fed
Grated clubs Is OF such recent crea-
ton, being formed at the last feder-
ated meeting at Orlando, that es yet
no very definite line Of action can be
defined
The chairman naturally constructs
it to stand for the furtheFing of fea-
lures in club work, that make for
broader culture and versatility In all
matters OF q literary value.
Just as We cannot live by bread
alone" the club life Graves a variety
in work. a widening IN scope. to sat
isfy the diversity In bent and talent
found in club Of a miscellaneous ma
ture. such as the federation en-
braces in its organization.
The federation may be nkened to
the human body; the hands and feet
stand for civics and practical activ-
tiles: the heart for philanthropy and
REFORMS; the neau 1or legislation ana
literary and artistic pursuits; thus
forming a useful and harmonious
whole, each balancing and subserv-
ing the other. The literary depart
ment can suggest no moro pleasant
or profitable medium OF gaining lit
erary proficiency than through the
revival OF the ancient art OF story
telling Story telling is not only a
new social activity, but as an eduea-
tionaI factor has become recognized
to the extent that IL Is embra ced as
Part OF the curriculum Of many Of
tbs foremost schools and colleges. 1t
is a movement that Is sweeping the
country at large and especially has it
seemed to appeal to the responsive
and rornancs-loving nature OF the
Southerner. The Southland Is rich IN
folklore that Is being allowed TO die
and pass away fer lack Of research
and records
The establishment OF story telling
leagues Is a medium Of developing
