RECOVERED
 ON COTTON MARKET
General List Closed Steady at an Advance of P to
 27 Points

New York, November 1s.-The cotton
 market practically recovered yesterday s
 losses turing today's trading, with May
 contracts selling up to 2O90c, or 56 points
 above the low. level of Friday afternoon
 and back to within points of yesterday mornings high record. That delivery
 closed at 20SSc and the general list
 closed very steady at an advance of 23
 to q points on all months except August,
 which was nominally 50 points higher.
 The market showed renewed nervous ness at liquidation on long cotton which has been disturbed by the sharp break of the previous day. First prices were 10 points lower to g points higher, with near months relatively easy, but offer ings were not nearly so heavy as they had been yesterday afternoon and these were very well absorbed by foreign, local and southern buying. It seemed that some of yesterdays leading sellers were al- ] ready bginning to replace their long lines, while there was covering by recent sellers for a reaction and after the early offer Ing had been absorbed, the market be- came strong, almost excited. January contracts sold up to 2o.60c, or 45 points above Fridays low level and back to within points of the high record, while March rallied to 2O.75c and July to 20.9Oc, or about 27 to 31 points above last night s closing figures. The advance was checked at this level by realizing or re- newed liquidation, but the close was with in or points of the highest.
 According to one of the Manchester cables, larger speculative buying has de- veloped in standard cloths for India and China, with yarns strongest turn over encouraging Fall River sales for the week were estimated at 165,000 pieces

Coffee Market

New York, November 1S.-The market for coffee futures showed renewed steadi- ness this morning on further scattered covering and a moderate demand from Wall street for cotton trade sources. The opening was to 6 points higher and the active months sold about to points above last nights closing figures during the middle of the morning, with May touching S.40c and July S.6oc. while December sold up to S.20c.
 The close was within point or two oi the best on most positions, showing net advance of to 8 points. Sales, in- cluding switches from December to later months. 33.000 bags. November. S15c; De cember, S16c; January. S24c; February sale; March, S.4Oc; April S.46c; May S.51c; June, 8.57c; July, S.63c; August S.6Sc; September. S.73c; October, S.7Sc.
 Spot coffee quiet: Rio Is. 9Mc; Santos As. 1O1ac. Cost and freight offers were delayed, but indications were said to point to about an unchanged mark.
 The official ca bles reported an advance of 25 to 50 reis in Santos futures, with markets otherwise unchanged.

2Oc Cotton S2O Pig Iron Looks Good for Birmingham

On Friday of this week the pre- dicted price of 20 cents for cot ton arrived at practically all the interior markets, and good grades of cotton sold in Birming- ham at 20 cents and higher. Those who held spot cotton or future contracts hastened to sell when prices touched this mark, with a consequent reaction of half a cent or more a pound. The fundamental basis is un- changed. There is not enough fiber produced to supply the de- mand of the world, and we re- peat our previous prediction that the maximum price will be that at which some manufacturers will have to stop their ma chinery.
 Gradual selling on advances and withdrawals of offers on declines is the sane marketing policy.
 The facilities of this company enable owners to carry cotton conveniently and sell promptly on advances. Ship your cotton to us.

Sugar Market

New York, November 1S-No change oc-
 cured in raw sugar prices today, nor was there any improvement in the de-
 mand, holders still offering moderate quantities of Cubas for nearby shipmen. at 5ssc, cost and freight, and full duty sugars at 5lsc without attracting any at tenton from refiners. Closing prices were
 sac for Cubas cost and freight, equal
 to 640c for centrifugal and 5.53c for mo- lasses.
 Refined sugar prices were unchanged.
 being listed at 7.50c for fine granulated by all refiners. Withdrawals on old con- tract were light and new business unim- portant.
 Price changes in sugar futures were ir- regular, closing quotations ranging from 4 points decline to 3 points advance The liberal offerings in the spot market seemed to discourage holders of con- tracts and under scattered selling near positions eased off, while distant deliv- cries were frmer on covering.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter

New York, November 1S.--On the open ing December and January were under the weight of hedges being sold out against purchases of spots, while the dis tant deliveries were heavily bought by the leaders in the bull movement. Iiquida- tion by the west was followed by de- cline and again these heavy concentrated purchases always ready to prevent If possible any break such as occurred yesterday.
 At these prices the market is more ner- vous with wire fluctuations Tn the exe- cution. of even moderate orders. The bull leaders seem to buy January rather than the distant deliveries Movement of the crop is bearish, but no attention is paid to that.

BUTTER ALWAYS IN DEMAND
No Reason Why Farmer Should Not
Compete With Creameries-Some
Business Ability Needed.

There is plenty of room today for
the private dairyman who wants to
market his cream in the form of but
ter. Because the creameries have
nearly monopolized the retail city
trade is no reason why butter made
on the farm should not compete sue

cry butter. This class of butter,
which is made from but one herd of
well-bred cows and from separated
sweet milk, should form one of the
most delicious articles of food, and
can always command fancy prices
when 1t reaches the right people. II
requires some business ability to work
up a select trade for any home prod
uct, yet II is not at all difficult to
create a demand for a certain brand
of butter among those who know a
good article when they see or taste it,
and are willing TO pay a little extra
for what suits them.

woody growth of trees. 1t may invig-
crate weak trees. 1t tends to lessen
fruit production or even check it alto
gether. 1t induces the production of
water sprouts, which are practically
parasites as far as the welfare of the
tree is concerned.
Prune weak trees relatively heavier
than strong growing ones. Prune every
year, removing small amounts of wood,
rather than removing the same aggre-
gate at longer intervals. Remove wa
ter sprouts as fast as they appear
Root pruning lessons wood produc-
tion and is sometimes practical in case
Of tree which refuses to bear fruit.
The scientific principle involved is
that vegetable growth is checked and,
as is the tendency in all growing
things, fruit is produced as a mature
