Use FOR THE
BIG STICK.

1t is generally agreed that all At
tempts or the part Of the Unitcu
States to bring order out of the cha
otto conditions in Mexico by mora
suasicn are doomed to failure. The
warning factions have treated every
neacefu suggestion upon the part OF
th;s country with contempt, and the
only way to bring about changed
conditions is to enforce upon the bel
lirerents respect for law and order.
President Wilson. through the best
motives. has labored long to avoid
drastic measures, but the time seems
70 have co,-e' when parleying WIFI
bandits and other outlaws has passed
and that the strong arm OF Inc
mother republic must eventually %
exercised to tear apart the be'!lGe-
rents and bring about 4 government
in the land of the MontezunaS uh'
der which quiet people can live, move
and have their being.
Naturally the great mass OF tue
people of the United States would
prefer peaceable solution OF MeXi-
can internal troubles. This, however
seems impossible, so long as the mum
her of pretcnders to the presidential
chair are multiplying and when
Americans are. being killed and rob-
bed.
Former President Taft has suggest
ed that an international organization
should be formed for the purpose OF
nsinc force in keeping rival countries
from resprting to arms in order &c
settle their differences. The samf
.pr;ncipie might be adopted on ti''
western hemisphere where a pug
naeious country is never at peace

Avery's Letter

Liverpool shorts stampeded this morning.
 With the usual English complacency. the Liverpool market has persisted in taking Manchesters and other "easy chair experts viewpoint not only upon the size of the crop. but upon the probable consumption, with the conse- quence they are covering their shorts at loss.
 The market eased off about II points from the highest on profit taking bv satisfied longs, but nevertheless closed at net gain of 20 points from yes terday's close and net gain since Monday of 7S points.
 Right hero I would like to offer a word of advice to holders of spot cot ton. Do not set a specified figure at Which you will sell your cotton, but rather sell a bale or so on every sharp upturn like this If you all hold for. say 10 cents. for instance. when that price gets here. everybody will want to sell at the same time and none of you will get your price. but by sell Ing just a little, on the way up. you will get splendid average price for your holdings and will be able to main. tain the price without any serious re- actions.
 Prices will continue their upward c1urse with the usual reactions from time to time, from profit taking. or weakened technical position. Buy on the breaks, and take your profits on the sharp bulges like today and re- member it is impossible to get the ulti- mate dollar.

PRICES ADVANCE
 ON COTTON MARKET
Stimulated by Bet ter Accounts From Spot
 Market

New Orleans, November 27.--The cot ton market was strong and active in the early trading today, prices being at an advance until pressure from week end realizing was felt. In the first half hour of business the active months moved up 20 to 36 points. For awhile the gain was held, but profit taking sales gradually became large enough to bring about a reaction. From the highest there was a fall of II to 19 points. The close was steady at a net gain for the season of 19 to 29 points.
 The advance was chiefly based on the spectacular and unexpected rise in l,iv- erpool, which stood nearly $1.50 bale higher than due on it's close. The higher price for silver and better ac- counts generally from the spot mar ket were features that increased bull fish sentiment and stimulated buying.
 Shorts continued to cover at the ad- vance and little fresh short selling ap- peared to be coming in, although bear ish comment was to the effect that the advance of the last three days had been too rapid.
