AFTER EARLY RALLY
 MARKET FALLS OFF
Close in Cotton is Barely Steady at a 3 to 6 Point Gain.-Mar- ket opened Steady at Advance of 1 to f Points.

New York, Nov. 5.-There was a sharp rally in the cotton market dur ing today's earlier trading with Jan uary selling up to 11.91c, but at this advance of about $1.50 per bale from the low level of last Wednesday, the demand seemed to taper off and prices lost part of their gain, with January closing at HIT. The general list closed barely steady at net advance of to points.
 The market opened steady at an ad- vance of l to points in sympathy with relatively steady cables and de- veloped considerable firmness during the early trading. There was little Southern selling here, which was sup posed to be against actual, but offer ings of that sort were too small to suggest any real weakness among Southern holders, and there was evil dently a disposition to take profits on short cotton, after the big break ear Her in the week and before the publi- cation Of the ginning figures expected Monday. Private, predictions that the weather in the South would become less favorable over the weekend, pro bably tended to increase the covering movement, while there also was con- siderable Liverpool buying and some trade demand, which was said to re- fleet spinners' calling. December con- tracts advanced to 11.77c; March to 12.12c and May to 12.26c, during the middle of the day, or about IT to Is points above last nights closing fig ures, but at this level support was less in evidence and the market eased off some IA or 15 points from the best in the late trading, under protit-tak- ing by early buyers or a renewal of scattering local pressure. Southern spot advices were conflicting but the absence of hedge selling was quite generally taken here as indicating that Southern holders were not yet willing to follow the decline in futures. Pri- vate cables from Liverpool reported scarcity of contracts.

Insurance people have come to the definite conclusion that booze and in. surance mix about as we'll as oil and water" remarked Edward A. Woods, president of the National Life Under writers association. Tn other words" said MT. Woods, "a drinking man is a mighty poor risk. Cold figures have proved to us positively that the drink ing man-even the moderate drinker- has less than half as much chance to live out the life of his policy as the teetotaler. The mortality of the teetotalers between the ages of thir- ty-ive and fifty years, when men are of the most use to society, is only 56 per cent of the average mortality. Not even the war has been the sub ject of as much consideration among insurance men as has the liquor ques- tion."

AlcoHoL CAUSES INSANITY.

Alcoholism, propagated by every na tion, licensed by the state. is second only to war as cause of insanity. Not only does 1t lead directly to mental disease, but it indirectly predisposes to mental and physical deterioration through heredity. Children of alcoholic parents are notoriously liable to be epileptic. imbecile or insane.-William Brady, NJ. D., Chicago.
