Ayery's Letter

The better tone in the stock market was a big influence for better prices in the cotton market
 Several days ago l mentioned that something was influencing the stock market for the better, and while there was nothing in the news that indicated what the influence was, still it was there Today the reports from Wash irgton indicated that the strained re- lations between the United States and Germany had been greatly relieved and that the full text of the German reply would be out tomorrow. The news of the departure of J. P Morgan for Lon don. said to be on a mission to com- p,ete details of loan, with American stocks and bonds as collateral. was considered to be important as it indi- cated that the continual pressure of for eign selling of our securities will be re- lieved.
 E. F. Hutton & Co.,, say because of the prospects for this, the foreign selling for the past ten days has been materially reduced.
 All of the above news is important as affecting the cotton market, inasnluch as an improvement in the stock market will also mean a cessa tion of Wall Street liquidation of long contracts, of which enormous amounts have been held as a hedge against sudden ending of the war. This was on the theory that should the war end suddenly cotton should ad : vance sharply and go to very high prices. and thus insure them against a loss from decline in stocks from the same cause Lately when stocks and cotton have both declined, these holders have thrown over board their cotton to protect their stocks.
 The threatened increase in acreage for cotton is still bear factor that weighs heavily against an advance and cannot help but reiterate my warning to farmers that any increase of last years acreage will mean very low prices.

small Under ordinary conditions Liver pool should be higher tomorrow
 Here the market shows the effect of the covering demand of the past three days, which seems to have absorbed more than thought possible by those who have followed the pessimistic view held since the beginning of the year, by the trade. There has been little new demand except from arbitrage brokers and spot houses covering sales to spinners, which in turn has given the trade a volume of buying in excess of the supply.

Sugar Market

New York, February 3.-The market for raw sugar was steady, with buyers and sellers about 1-16c apart in the local market, although there were sales of 30, 000 bags Cubas afoat to the American tor it's Philadelphia refinery at 8 327-32c, cost and freight, equal to 4.86c for centrif- ugal 96 test. On the basis of above sales and the attitude of holders, the local market at the close was quoted at 4S6c to 4S9c for centrful 96 test; 4.G9c to 4.12c for molasses s9 test, and 27@3. .32c to 77sc for cost and freight. Unsettled labor con- ditions with one refinery closed on this account caused the trade to assume a waiting attitude, although it seemed to be the general impression that the labor controversy would be settled shortly Refined sugar was inactive as far as new business was concerned, but prices were firm on the basis of cents for fine gran ulated
 Trading in the market for sugar fu- lures was inactive, total sales aggregat- ing 1900 tons. Prices were reactionary owing to disposition on the part of longs to liquidate on account Of fears of the probable effect of labor disturbances. and as the demand was not aggressive, velues eased off to points March sold from 4S7c to 3S2c closing 3.S5c; May from 3.9Sc to 396c, closing 397c; July at 40Sc to 4.05, closing 4.06c; September, 4.15c to 414c closing 414c

I'VE read of the miracles OF ola
and wonder, but each day COD re-
peats his miracles for US. Can we
doubt the miracle of the Spring
time, when Christ STOPPING down
with his finger on the ground
writes joy and beauty into the
world for us? l have heard
mothers when the thunder roars
say to their children, flush, !,
is Gods voice Why not say, on
mother, when the sun shines anc
the earth is lovely, it is Gods
smile: when the blooming fruit
trees fill the earth with fragrance,
it is Gods breath" The little
church, perched among the hills
of Mill Creek, afforded a harmon
ious setting for a discourse on the
beauties of Gods world. As far
as the eye can see, north, east,
south, and west, the country
rolls in a succession of graceful
curves, and lights and shadows.
And over it all is written the
word, prosperity.
R. G. Buckingham, captain OF
Reynolds Post, in speaking of war
times after the services made the
statement that within territory
embraced within two mile
circle, as the crow flies, from the
site of the church, thirty-two men
enlisted in the Union army-a
fact that seems remarkable when
one recognizes that there are no
towns or villages included in the
territory. Captain Buckingham
and Arthur Whiteman were mem
bers of Company E., Fourth Della
ware. A great many of the men
enlisted in the Sixth Maryland.

A good piece of Printing requires study OF the
nroner kind of stock the sty lie and arrangement
of type, the selection of ink with eye to color. All
this must be thought out before the work is begun.
Then the mechanical skill, in composition, and in
press work A love of the work must be there too
Added to this must be an equipment in type,
labor saving devices, presses, folding machines.
Added again to this must be light, air,
shine pleasing surroundings.
With these must be attention to manage

of materials wastes, overhead charges and ef-
fcient deliveries.

ADVISE USE OF
CLOTHIN SHOES
ROY e. STEVENS ATTENDS CON.
FERENCE OF NATIONAL
DEALERS ASSOCIATION.

Roy E. Stevens, manager Of Stew
ems shoe store, has returned from
Pittsburgh, Pa, where he went NO
vember "a to attend a committee
meeting of the National Retail Shoe
Dealers association of the United
States.
The committee was called together
to arrange the revision Of the consti'
tuition and bylaws Of the association
and to make the program for the ma.
tional convention which will be held
in Cincinnati in January, 1917.
The market price of leather was an
important topic discussed by the men
and the national association is very
anxious to have the shoe merchants
of the country use every influence
available to promote the sale of cloth
topped and fiber soled shoes as sub
stitute for leather. They feel that the
pushing of proven substitute will do
more than anything else to reduce the
price of shoe leather which is higher
now than ever before in the worlds
history and is still climbing.
On his way home Mr.. Stevens stop
ped in Cincinnati and st. Louis to visit
some of the shoe factories from which
he purchases stock. He~.is president
of the Iowa State Retail Shoe Dealers
association and went east as. that or.
ganization's representative on the ma.
tiOnal committee.
