COTTON ADVANCES.
CLOSES STEADY
Market Gains rs Points, Due TO
Firm Liverpool Cables and
Hedge Selling.

The cotton market showed continued
activity and bullish excitement during
Saturdays trading, with prices reach
ing still higher levels on the unfayor-
able weather. bullish spot and trade
advices. and rumors that private condi-
ton figures expected next week would
show even a greater deterioration in
crop prospects than indicated by re-
cent bullish predictions. December
contracts sold up to 1199, while Janu-
airy advanced TO 1918. or "a to 2S points
above the closing figures Of Friday. and
IN the case Of January contracts fully
$500 per bale above the low level Of as
recently as last Monday morning. This
big advance naturally attracted heavy
realizing. and there were rumors Of
more hedge selling than recently. but
the closing tone was strong, and prac-
ucally all months, with the exception
OF December and January. were at the
best point Of the day, the general list
being from 20 70 25 points net higher
Firm Liverpool cables were followed
by an opening advance of from Q to II
points in the market here. and prices
very quickly sold II 20 % points above
Fridays closing figures Reactions Of
s or Q points followed this advance as

selling was held in check by prospects
for even more unfavOrable weather
over Sunday, while the profit taking
was readily absorbed, and prices soon
turned frmer, reaching the highest
point late in the forenoon on broaden
ing Wall Street trade and general COM
house demand.
Reports that the low barometer in
the Caribbean Sea was of considerable
intensity. and the course of the low
barometer west of the cotton belt eX-
planned the apprehension of bad
weather over the week end. and the
days detailed weather reports showed
rather general rains in the South
west, where dry, warm weather Is
needed. This naturally strength
ened bullish views of the crop,
while there were rumors that next
weeks private condition figures would
probably be the lowest since 1903. Ac-
cording 10 the government report the
October bureau that year was only
5S.5 per cent and the yield of lint cot
ton per acre was only l54.S pounds.

BAD NEWS.

Last Monday afternoon we asked
Mr.. Herbert Allen, superintendent of
the Abbeville Oil Mill if he knew any
news. He replied that the only thing
he knew was that cotton seed was
selling for sixty cents a bushel and
that an ordinary sized derby hat full
of cotton seed meal was worth a
dollar.
If this thing keeps up we will have
to sell our cow and go back to the
bacon gravy we were raised on.
Events in our family will have to be
dated from "that day we had butter
for breakfast"

GETTING THE NEWS.

1t is not always a safe thing to
ask the people the news. Some Of
them are liable to tell the editor all
that they know. Last Monday we
asked lady to tell US something for
the paper and she said to be sure
to ''put it in, that all the old maids
in town were just crazy about Mr..
Longshore." We do not consider
this any news at all, it is perfectly
natural thing for all the girls to be
''just crazy" about a gay old boy
like Mr.. Longshore.

PAINT OR NOT

Is horse worth more or less after
feed?
Hay and oats are high today; shall
I wait today and fee him tomorrow?
That's how men do about painting
their houses and barns and fences.
Paint has been high for several years; !;
and so they have waited. Some are
still waiting.
Their property drops trife a year
and the next job of paint creeps-up
creeps-up creeps-up; it'll take more
raint by gallon a year; they don't
save cent, and the property goes-on
suffering.
DEVOE
P. B. Speed sells it.
