ured the average price of cotton to producers at about $31.50 per bale, while today the same bale is worth about $10 more.
 ''At that time,' Mr. Hester says, with the cotton exchanges practical ly closed the trade for several months had been drifting with no fixed stand ard of value. From August 1 to November 1, 1914, farmers marketed 2,719,00O bales, or 2,323 bales less than was marketed during the cor responding three months of 1913. But the figures show that from No vember 1, 1914, to January 22, 1915, 6,S01, ,000 bales were marketed as compared to 5,59S,000 bales brought into sight during the same period last season. Thus since the exchanges have opened the south has marketed at advancing values almost 7,000,- 900 bales, exceeding last years move ment for the same period by 1,200,- 1000 bales.
 "The worlds visible supply of Am erican cotton January 22 last was 5,217, 1000 bales. The 1914 crop gen erally is estimated at 16, ,250, ,00O bales, of which 9,520,000 have been marketed, leaving 6,730,OOO to be marketed. The visible supply and that remaining to be marketed totals 1,947, 1000 bales. On basis of $10 a bale advance the increase in value since November i last has been $119, ,470,000 and practically all of this increase belongs to the south.
 ''The growing confidence in cotton is held to be due largely to the eX- pectation that cotton farmers will make themselves self-sustaining, if not producing a surplus of food crops for sale. Calculating on basis of the 1914 estimated crop of 6,250,- 900 bales, if the farmers curtail their 1915 acreage 30 per cent it would mean a crop of 11,375, ,000 bales. Adding the visible supply of 1,671,- 900 bales left over August l, 1914, this would mean an average supply for the two years-1914 and 1915- of 14,64S,O00 bales"

BUSINESS IN SOUTH
 SHOWS GREAT GAIN
Increase in Cotton Prices Has Added $12O,OOO,O0O to Sections
 Wealth.

Atlanta, Ga, Jan. 26.-Notable inn provements in business conditions in is indicated in reports from mer- chants, cotton factors and bankers from all over the section. The last month in particular, business men assert, has developed the recuperative power of the cotton states. Cotton, which was selling a few months ago for 6 ce4s a pound, now is finding a comparatively ready market at more than cents.
 Since the government report of November 1, the increase of cents a pound in the selling price of cotton, with the corresponding advance in the price of cotton seed, according to estimates, has added approximate ly O,00O,000 to the cash value of cotton. The effect of this enhanced value, it is stated, has been felt in every line of business in the south.
 HOLDING MOVEMENT EFFECTIVE
 Conservative observers of the sit uation say that never has there been such a holding movement in the south. At the outbreak of the Eu- ropean war fall deliveries of cotton ranged from 12 to 13 cents a pound, which with a crop estimated at more than 16,O00,000 bales forecast a sea- son of remarkable activity. With the war the price abruptly decreased about one-half.
 When the mills entered the mar ket for their usual fall supply they found the market closed. Farmers refused to sell and southern business, which depends so largely upon the moving of the cotton crop, marked time awaiting readjustment of con- ditions. About December 1 improve ments began. Today the movement of cotton from farm to market is steadily progressing and as result the farmers are paying their debts to the merchants for supplies, the mer- chants are meeting their obligations to the small banks and they in turn are settling their accounts with the larger banks. The general business tone is optimistic.
 In a statistical statement of the situation, H. G. Hester, secretary of the New Orleans cotton exchange, mentions that on November 1 last the federal department of agriculture fig

HERE'S A HOG RAISER.
Grand Prairie Stock Raising as We'll
 as Rice Producing Country.

Stuttgart, Jan 22.-The Grand Prairie country of this state has for some time past been acknowledged as the best rice growing portion of this state, but that it also leads not only the state, but the northern market as well, in hogs, was an item that was commented on largely by the live stock reported issued at the National stock yards for last Tuesday, entitled, Arkansas Razorbacks Top the Mar ket."
 This comment was brought about on account of a carload of hogs ship ped by Fred D. Gibson of this city to the St. Louis market.
 The car contained 66 head of hogs which were market at eight months old and averaged 225 pounds, and for which MT. Gibson received SIPS per hundred pounds, or five cents above the bulk market for that date.
 MT. Gibson owns nine farms in the vicinity of Stuttgart and is one of the l farmers that believes that the Ar kansas razorback" is the ready mon ey crop that is the salvation of both the small as we'll as the large farm CT.
 Of his nine farms, he devotes one exclusively to the breeding of his hogs and the care of the pigs while small.
 After they are weaned they ae distributed to his other farms and are there raised and made ready for the market.
 He has on hand now between 7CG and 500 hogs, including his brood sows, and is very proud both of his record in hog raising and of the au- vertisement given to Arkansas hogs by the mention made at the yards of his shipment.

to Gunners to Violate Law.

Five Canadian geese that have been
making their home on the tidal basin
and the Georgetown channel for the
past two weeks are greatly tempting
gunners to violate the law and shoot
them out of season. This would be
very unwise thing to do, however, as
Lieut.. Dean of the harbor precinct has
his men on the watch to prevent viola
tions of the law, and the Potomac Park
police have been requested to keep a
watch on the birds
The geese. which are on their way
north from the winter feeding grounds,
were first noticed about two weeks ago
by the men on the dredge Dewey, en-
ployed in deepening the Georgetown
channel. and they have been throwing
food overheard for them until the big
birds have become comparatively tame.
1t has been suggested that an effort be
made to catch them and add them to
the Zoo collection Of gamebirds.
