STOPPED HIS PAPER

A couple of years ago a cranky sort of an old man came into this office and stopped his paper because something in it did not just suit his fancy. We have frequently met him on the street since that time and it is anus ing to note the look of surprise on the old fellows face that We are still in existence regardless of the fact that he stopped his paper. Some day-and 1t won t be long either-that old gentle man will turn up his toes. His heart will be stilled forever Neighbors and friends will fol- low his lifeless clay to the silent city and lay them to rest among the flowers. An obituary will be published in these columns tell ing what a kind father, a good neighbor and beloved citizen he was which the recording angel will overlook for charity's sake and in a very short time he will be forgotten.

While on most of our rolling sandy lands tile drainage will probably not be a good invest ment, there are, even in sections where such soils predominate. very, very few farms on which there are not spots that will pay for the cost of tile drainage in one or two years. Of course, on our stiffer, heavier lands, there are many millions of acres that should be tile drained.
 As We see it, on the average Southern farm the place to be- gin with tile is in the low. wet spots that few farms are with out. Such spots may be- ei..due to hillside seepage. or, in many cases to hollow or branch that gets the water from the sur rounding slopes and a conse- quence is the wet to make crops. Very often a singles line of tile will make of such places the most productive land on the farm, at comparatively small cost.
 Of course on our flat river lands and on much of our rolling. stiff. clay soils, tile drainage will pay well, and in many cases should be put in onathe entire farm. True the initial cost may seem high, but we have known tile drainage to double crop yialds, and it is. unnecessary to say that anything which at a reasonable cost, will do this is a good investment.
 Try a little tile drainage this winter. We believe the results will please you. The Progress sive Farmer.

Sugar Market

New York, January 1S-The local mar ket for raw sugar was firm today with prices higher on good demand from refiners, owing to the better inquiry for granulated on domestic account Trading was quite active and various rumors were circulating in the trade of large business having been put through, al- though confirmation of only 60000 bags was obtainable, while some rumors placed the business at 100000 bags and even more. The price paid was 35sc, cost and freight, the sugar to be shipped during the remainder of this month and Febru- ary. The market closed firm at 434 and 4.60c for centrifugal, 356c to 3.S7c for mo- lasses and Sssc for Cubas cost and freight.
 The market for refined sugar was firm in sympathy with raws and one refiner advanced list prices 5 points to the basis of $500 for fine granulated, while others remained unchanged at 5.75c. There was a better domestic demand reported for de- livery during the next few weeks.
 The market for futures, following the lead of raws was firmer on a good de- mand from trade interests and little more buying by commission houses. Closing prices were to points net higher January sold from 3.79 to 3S0c, closing 3.7Sc: February. 360 to 3.65c, clos ing 362c; March, 3.6O to 3.65c. closing s.63c; {; May 3.69 to 3.77c, closing 375c; July 3.7s to 3.S6c, closing SS4c; September 1885 to 3S9c, closing S.S9c.

''Sit Steady in Boat" l"
 Advises Local Broker

The cotton market was in fearful rut all day, some months only show ing a range of points and the best being only 9 points.
 New York wired Liverpool took from 25,0O0 to SO,O00. which were supplied by scattered selling around the ring. Clevenberg thought the sellers were southern hedge sellers, while Burnley said the selling was speculative. This Liverpool buying has been the feature for a month. Most observers have ascribed it to undoing of the short end of a straddle in our market by Liverpool. Whatever it is none of the contracts seem to come back on the market
 It looks as if Liverpool was long in Liverpool and short in our contract market and as she buys our spot cot ton she buys in her contracts sold against them. Furthermore as she buys in on this side she sells out in Liver pool or she may remain long of that market until such time as she can ship the spot cotton.
 It is my opinion whenever Liverpool gets cleaned up on her straddles we will find that the freight rate will suddenly be settled.
 There is nothing to do but sit steady in the boat.
 Fertilizer is quoted today at $30 per ton, immediate acceptance, and prices subject to change without notice and understand that no "10-2-2" will be obtainable, but that "11-1-I" will be put out by those who have any potash, while most of the factories have none at all When this situation is thor- oughly realized we will see some of these shorts hunting the tall timber.

NEW HIGH RECORD
 FOR WHEAT PRICES
News That Canadian Gov ernment Was Heavy Buy
 CT Sent Prices Up

Chicago, January 1S--Wheat scared to- day to new high price record for the 1915 crop. An advance in quotations at Liverpool, with enlarged acceptances from there and with the Canadian government buying at Winnipeg was chiefly respon- sible. The market closed buoyant 2s4d3c net higher at $1.315s for May and $1.24s4 for July Corn gained 1sd54o to ssc, and oats 1sl11sc to 1Ac. In provisions the out come varied from 15c decline to a rise of 221ac. Except for a few transient set backs, wheat was on the upgrade throughout the session. The leading bull almost as trading had fairly begun and were ably assisted by the seaboard in taking the surplus off the market and putting shorts to rout. Little or no atten- tion was paid to an increase of the Eu- ropean visible supply total, as Liverpool prices were jumping upward and the Win nipeg market was unusually strong. Re- ports of cold weather. damage to the fall sown crop gave an additional stimulus to buyers, and so, too, did word that re- ceipts both in the northwest and south west were on the increase
 The biggest rush to buy wheat came during the last hour of trading, and ac- companied news that the Canadian gov- ernment was a purchaser at Winnipeg. Two prominent spectators here were con- spicuous among those who added to their holdings Despite liberal sales to realize profits, the close was virtually at the highest point reached this season.
 Corn was inclined to drag, but the strength of wheat finally acted as more than an offset for bearish influences. A good deal of notice was taken, though, of the fact that export bids were lower, and that the prospect was for decidedly in- creased receipts. Oats showed indepen- dent strength. Shipping sales amounted to 6O0,0O0 bushels. and there was continued talk that oats were at too wide a dis count as compared with corn.
 Pork and ribs advanced notwithstanding that lard throughout most of the day was under heavy selling pressure because of efforts that lard owners made to take profits. Investors were the best buyers of ribs. e4

PRICES DROP ON
 EXPORT SITUATION
Cotton Market Again Quiet, But List Closed Steady
 With New Crop Firm

New York. January fS.-The cotton market was very quiet again today with March contracts fuctuating be- tween 1249c and 12.55c and closing at 12.5Oc The general list closed steady at decline of 3 points to an advance of points, with new crop months rela- lively firm.
 From Liverpool cables were again taken as refiecting the difficulties of the export situation, and while the Eng fish market was several points higher than due, prices here opened at a de- cline of 3 to an advance of points. Active old crop positions sold generally 2 to points net lower or immediately following the call with May contracts touching 12.71c and July 12.S3c. This meant widening of the differences be- tween New York and Liverpool which attracted considerable buying here by houses with English connection and prices soon rallied in consequence. May advanced to 12.7Sc and July to 12.92c before the end of the first hour. or about to points above last nights closing figures. The demand tapered off the close of the English market, however, and prices here eased back to about the low point of the morning on most of the active old crop months, while the new crop held relatively steady and some to points above last nights closing figures. Near month longs in some in- stances seemed to be selling out March and May contracts and rebuying in the late deliveries in expectation that late months may go to carrying charges. Considerable progress has already been made in that direction, however, as October contracts tonight were selling 34 points above March, whereas they were at a discount early last month and general business today was very quiet with traders still supposed to be waiting for developments in the ship ping situation or with reference to new crop prospects.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'S Letter

New York, January 1S.-Whenever Man. chester buys freely in Liverpool the buy CTS find very little unhedged cotton and practically no offers from the south. These conditions bring about these sharp advances abroad which are regarded with more or less suspicion here ,as liable to be checked at any moment by some re- lief in the freight situation so that the advance is met by liquidation in the nearby deliveries.
 The distant deliveries respond quickly to any demand, as few care to assume long risks in view of the uncertainties of the political situation So the mar ket remains uncertain with quite a large unhedged short interest, as the result of the developments of the past fortnight.
