NEW YORK COTTON MARKET.
Quotations by Miller & Co.. Members
New York Cotton Exchange.l

New York. Dec. 12.-There was a
more optimistic feeling in cotton to-
day following the announcement OF
proposals for peace by Chancellor Won
Hethmannn-H ollweg in Berlin. The
Improvement came after the market
had suffered further losses. Bulish
spot news encouraged. fresh buying
by old bulls on the largest scale in
a fortnight and last quotations were
well above yesterdays close.
AT the start December was down
2h- points on tlfe-caii.- while October
advanced points. the active posi-
lions showing losses of IL to 15 points,
The buying was good in the early
dealings and the market had better
appearance than in some days
The announcement that Germany
proposed to enter into peace nego-
tiations was followed by quite a sharp
rally. January sold up from 1850
to 1907 and May from 1918 to 1852
on covering and some fresh buying
but there seemed to be good deal
of skepticism over the possibility of
peace resulting from any negotiations
Germany might start at present and
the market showed renewed nervous
ness. The market was nervous and
unsettled late in the morning.
Spot advlces from all sections OF
the DbiIs anu DtTSlSteHt Q6ItldHu from
leading spot Arms and pronounced
decrease in the long liquidation led
TO a sharp advance. March selling up
TO $40, or 20 points net higher. The
demand broadened in the last hour.
while liquidating sales sharply de-
creased. In the absence of offerings
prices advanced rapidly. scoring a
gain of about $3.50 bale at the
highest. The market closed very
steady at a net advance OF 81 70 50
points.
Port receipts for the day were 66.-
e25 bales against b9.720 bales last
week and 60.56l bales last year. Elk
ports for the day were 40.254 bales.
Spot here was quiet. IS points high
er at 1886: there were no sales.
The spot article at New OrleanA was
quiet with middling 1.Ssc lower at lsc;
the sales, 200 bales Cotton closed
steady.

CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET.
fluctuations by Miller d CO., Members
New York Cotton ExchanEe.D


Chicago Dec. 1.-THE better pros
poets for peace abroad overshadowed
all else in the wheat market on the
Board OF Trade today. And Mt one time
the May future was about I1o under
the resting spot OF Monday, The trade
on the whole was not surprised at the
action of the market as they were
" sll-informed on tho Kaiser's stand on
peace. as full story OF this was print
cd IN the newspapers served by the
International ~cws Service. AT the
opening the wheat pit was chock full
of selling orders and the first prices
were at losses OF 3a6Ac. as compared
with the resting spots OF Monday.
1t may be said with peace and the
opening of the Dardanelles large
quantities OF wheat and other grain
will come out of Russia and Will be
thrown on the world market. Also
that there will be increased shipping
in all countries and that the worlds
available supply will be added to in
goodly quantities. 1t is believed.
however, that because of the long
trips to Australia and India the coun-
tries mostly IN want OF breadstunS
will make every endeavor to secure
the wheat and -four already purchased
and to be purchased In North America.
| There were losses of 2Nae1sc in
corn and 2%a3hc In oats today The
sensational break in the price OF
wheat caused heavy selling by hold
ers OF coarse grains and consequent
/ price recessions resulted
| There was a substantial rally In the
market for hog products on buying by
| the larger packers on the price de-
| clines established early in the day.

REV. Mn. SLOWER is
AT End u. B. CHURCH
Wincheste Minister Opens Re-
vivaI Fer Rev. J. H. Ford.

Last night the church was well fill
cd and the Rev. G. w Slower preach
ed strong sermon from Epr. G:12.
For we wrestle not against flesh and
blood, but against prineipalities,
against powers. against the rulers of
darkness of this world, against spirit
ual WiCkedness in high places. 1t was
a strong sermon from start to finish
and was greatly enjoyed by all who
heard IT, ! have heard some of the
big guns on the other side of the sea
and a good many ON this side, but
this pastor from Winchester told as
as much truth last night to the square
inch as | have eyer heard
As the speaker told Of the great vic
tory Of the Church OF Jesus Christ
over sin and wickedness, the congre
cation was moved so that the speaker
could net be heard at one time for
the clapping of hands. It was time
long to be remembered. There was
much conviction in the meeting last
night and many souls are ready no
doubt TO seek the Christ. Mr.. c. l..
Durham has his choir lined mp in fine
shape and the singing was good last
night, but will be much better in q
few nights when the new piano ar
rives. as it will add much to the mu
sic.
Dent miss these meetings. Come
and take part and share in the bless
ing. A cordial invitation is extended
to all.

will be stirred within you.
The audience was unusually large
for a rainy Monday night The audi
forum was practically crowded with
some in the gallery DR.. Johnson
preached a powerful sermon which
had a telling effect upon the large and
attentive congregation
The minister took for his subject
THE Available Christian Life as eX-
emplifed in the life of Gideon "The
Spirit OF Jehovah Clothed Himself
with Gideon, was the text.
He said in part Our text, in view
N the achievements OF Gideon is q
wonderful testimony of Gods use OF
men of the Holy Spirit doing his
work through human instrumentality
Christ is doing his work in the world
today through men and women. His
successes and victories depend upon
the character and number of persons
he can command, the consecrated
lives which are available for use
God can't use some people, and
speak it reverently. Too many are
of no use being disabled by sin. Many
a soldier is taken from the field and
no longer of use
The cry of our day is power. Power
