WEEKLY REVIEW OF
 THE COTTON MARKET
Fluctuations Small, But at Ad- vance Greater Part of Time 26 to 29 Points Over Previous Weeks Closing.

New Orleans, Feb. 13.-Small fluc- tuations took place in the local cotton market last week with prices at the advance the greater part of the time. although no great buying power was displayed. At the highest trading months were 26 to 29 points over the previous weeks closing and the net change for the week was a gain of 15 to 19 points.
 A larger export movement, contin- ued firmness of spot holders and bull ish talk regarding acreage of the coming crop were the main bullish influences. The weeks exports were 100000 bales, in round figures, or about twice as much as they have been some weeks this winter, but bearish traders pointed that the movement still was only about half what it was the corresponding week last year.
 The slight upward trend of the market was due in some measure tC the relief felt over the clearing up ot the international political situation. This week attention probably vii turn to the new crop. Weathel which would be against farm worl would have 9 bullish influence or prices, while continued favorable weather would stimulate selling, un less indications of a decrease in tn, acreage grow stronger.

FRONT CAMP MAY
 NOT BE REBUILT
New State Farm at Tucker Will Take Care of Many of Con victs-Acres of Farm Land Covered With Sand.

What was formerly the main, or Front" camp at the state convict farm at Cummins probably will not be rebuilt, at least before next sum mer, according to Penitentiary Con- missioner J. V. Ferguson, who was in Little Rock yesterday. Mr. Fer guson has been in charge of the farm since the reorganization of the con- mission a year ago.
 "The buildings that were not wash ed away or destroyed may be re- paired temporarily, but the front camp will not be rebuilt in the same location," he said. "It may be rebuilt at some other place on the farm next summer or later, but there is a prob ability it will not be rebuilt. The Goree camp probably will be made the main camp. We do not yet know how badly the bank caved at the front camp during the flood. It would be useless to rebuild the camp near the same location, as the river has been eating into the land there for years.
 With the occupation of the farm at Tucker in the next two months by the white convicts, two of the camps at the Cummins farm will be de- serted, the Goree and Willy camps. The prisoners formerly kept at the main stockade can be transferred to these camps and there will in that way be no necessity for rebuilding the front camp.
 Several hundred acres of the farming land IS covered with sand, but it is land that would have been outside the new levee anyway, and would have been useless. We expect to resume farm work as soon as the land is dry enough without regard to whether the levees are rebuilt. There is no intention to abandon the Cummins farm"
