AUTHORS AND COMPOS.
 FRS SOCIETY ARKANSAS
Closing Second Year-BecOming Important in Intellectual De- velOpment-Membership Tot alS More Than 50 Writers.

Little Rock, May 8.-The Authors and Composers Society of Arkansas is closing it's second year and is be- coming an important factor in the intellectual development of Little Rock and the state. There is now a membership of more than fifty writ CTS of original fiction, poetry, his tory, essay and music, of which twen- ty reside outside of Little Rock. It has established standards of excel lence as a requirement for member ship which makes admission to it's ranks an honor to be sought. Some of the states brightest minds in the realm of literature and music are ac- lively connected with the work of the Society.
 Plans are being made for the sec ond annual meeting and banquet to be held Tuesday afternoon and night, June l3, at the Hotel Marion in Lit tie Rock, instead of June 6, as orig inally announced. This time an after noon session is to be held. to give better opportunity for out-of-town members to be heard, and for the election of officers and the transac- ton of other business. The amount of talent that has been brought to light in the state has been a revela- tion to many, for poets, novelists, his torians, composers and dramatists of high order of merit have become known through the activities of the organization. There is nothing sell fish whatever in its policies or pro grams, but it is altruistic in every respect, and the members extend helping hand to their fellow members, make of themselves sympathetic and helpful critics, and rejoice in the re- wards that come An effort is being made to enlist in the ranks of the So- ciety all the writers of the state who have done things in the world of lit erature and music, and to develop the latent talent that needs only encour- agement to blossom from many an obscure nook and corner of the state. That is why it's scope has been wid- ened and why all sefishness and mar rowness have been eliminated. The Society has some very ambitious plans for the future.

WEEKLY REVIEW OF
 THE COTTON MARKET
Spots Reach New High Levels for the Season at 12.3S-All Sections of Belt Report Good Demand for Actual Cotton.

New Orleans, La, May Firm ness featured trading in cotton last week, important advances being scored notwithstanding nervousness over po- litical conditions. Covering of the short interest and the increased de- mand for spot cotton were the main sustaining influences. At no time were prices under the closing level of the preceding week and last prices were at a net gain of 66 to Fl points.
 All sections of the belt reported a good demand for actual cotton, de- mand which spot holders generally met with indifference
 Prices of spots here were lifted half a cent to new high level for the sea son, middling being quoted at 12.38 by the end of the week, as against the previous high level of 12.19 made last October. Spot accounts, more than anything else, caused covering among the shorts.
 While temperatures in the belt were considered too low, crop news on the whole was favorable and indicat- ed a substantial increase in acreage. Private crop reporting bureaus put the gain at 10 per cent.
 As the situation now stands, the bulls depend on the spot demand to create higher market, while the bears think new crop prospects will bring about lower range of values.
