NEW YORK, January 4.--The cotton
market made new high ground for the
movement at the opening today, and busi-
ness was active, with the realizing of old
longs well taken by fresh buying, inspired
by the firmness Of Liverpool and the firm

points higher, with July contracts selling
at Sal, or fully cent a pound above the
low level of last month, and while there
were slight reactions after the call, as a
result of active profit-taking, prices soon
rallied and ruled at practically the best
point toward the end of the first hour.
Liverpool was 10k to IL points higher
when due to come only 5 to points
higher, and the advance there was at
tributed to a more active spot demand.

"BUY-IT-N0W" CAMPAIGN.
Farm Journals Agree to Advoeat.
Plan to Quicken Business.

OMAHA. Neb.. January A nation
wide campaign to assist in the revival
of business activity and the slogan
Buy it now" was launched here today
by the Agricultural Publishers Asso-
citation, an association of farm papers.
Briefly the plan purposes to quicken
commercial and manufacturing lines
by fastening purchases which in the
ordinary course of affairs must be made
sooner or later. The appeal is di-
rected particularly to the farmers, who
are to be urged to buy necessary i'm
plements and materials rather than to
wait until spring. The plan contem-
plates cooperation which. it is urged
would correct unsettled conditions 1t
does not urge indiscriminate buying,
but rather economical buying of those
things which must be bought later.
The committee report which pre-
sented the plan pointed out that the
farm population alone is nearly 49,
100000 and that IAN average expen-
diture of $40 would place more than
s400, 100000 in circulation"

AWAITS UNANIMOUS CONSENT.
Objections to Bill Transferring Real
ty to Howard University,

Representative Sisson of Mississippi
objected in the House today to the con-
sideration of the CIaypool bill permit
ting King Theological Hall to transfer
certain real estate to Howard Univer-
sity. The bill was stricken from the
calendar for Unanimous consent and
will have to take it's chances on q reg
ular District day.
The bill was reported favorably from
the District committee. 1t was written
because the trustees of King Theolog-
ical Hall found that they would require
an act Of Congress to enable them to
make the transfer of the property to
Howard University. The report stated
that every one connected with the pro-
posed transfer Is perfectly well salts
fed with the proposed deal.
Representative Sisson said later that
he thought the matter ought to be con-
sidered on District day. when there
would be a chance for full discussion,
and also because he was not in favor
of the federal government having any
connection with theological schools.

and half a bale on the strongest
March rose to 7.ss as compared with
the low level of 6.94 made during the
long decline which followed the be-

The advance was caused by heavy
buying by outside interests, continued

by cotton exporters and the better re-
ports from the stock market.

LONDON STOCK MART
IS REOPENED TODAY
Singing of National Anthem Fea-
lures Resumption for Re-
stricted Trading.

LONDON January 4. 1905 p.m.-The
London Stock Exchange reopened for
business today after having been closed
on account Of the war since July 30.
Severe restrictions were placed upon
trading in order to prevent anything
approaching panic selling or the un-
loading Of securities by hostile coun-
tries.
The session opened with round OF
ringing cheers. and to the strains OF
the national anthem, heartily sung by
rather smaller attendance than usual.
A number of British and French MEM
bers were absent on account of the
war, while the exclusion of aliens who
were not able to satisfy the committee
that they had severed all connection
with foreign countries reduced some-
what the foreign attendance.
Crisis Safely Negotiated.
The single fact that business has been
resumed even on a limited scale and
under restrictions is taken to indicate
that the greatest crisis in the history
of the exchange has been safely nego-
tiated through the combined efforts of
the treasury and the stock exchange
committee.
The house had been redecorated dur
ing the prolonged recess and today it
presented a cheerful appearance. Sew
eral English members appeared in
khaki. There was no shouting of bids
across the house and business was on
a strictly cash basis. The committee
decided to allow dealings only between
the hours of IL and 3, inside or outside
the stock exchange, and with arbitrage
business banned there will be no street
dealings in American securities at the
present time.
The members generally appeared ex-
treme1y pleased again to have a roof
over their heads after their wretched
experiences during the past five
months
No Bargains in Americans.
The general opinion that the restric-
tion to trading would curtail business
to considerable extent was borne out
during the first half hour. Not single
bargain occurred in Americans and
only a few of these securities ap-
peared.
The war loan was marked at 94N and
then at "a 9-16. India, az per cents
were quoted at s31s and Rio Tintos
nominally at 81. Union Pacif1cs were
