Cotton

After a slow and somewhat easier
start the cotton market became strong
and much more active. Buying orders
became decidedly numerous late in the
day, when most of the business was
transacted, and shortly before the
close net gains of from 60 TO 65 points
were recorded. with a small recession
in the final trading. Although the
demand was extremely brisk, there
were some keen observers who did not
consider il Of particularly good class.
In short, buying was almost wholly
speculative in character, while. on the
other hand, it was said that many Of
the big trade interests were active on
the selling side.
Certain big speculative operators
were aggressive early in the session,
making spectacular bids for large
blocks Of contracts, but without buy
ing any particularly large lots. This
stimulated buying by their smaller fol-
lowers in the local crowd and also
frightened shorts into covering. The
latter were also rendered uneasy by
bulish spot advices from parts of the
South.
In their efforts TO advance prices
the big local bulls were assisted Dy
a well known Chicago operator, and
in some quarters this buying was said
TO be based on expectations that the
crop report TO be issued to-day by a
large Chicago commission house would
be decidedly bullish in tone. On the
other hand, many other Western
traders were liquidating long lines,
and profit taking sales from that
quarter were said to have aggregated
fully $4,000 bales.

Com ODDITIES

1Hc to lose xc at the close. The rally
was ascribed partly to reports that Eu-
ropean agents had become free buyers
OF December contracts in Chicago on
the decline-that is, around Sl.S7R.
II was stated that this buying was
prompted by the difficulty experienced
in obtaining cash wheat at Western
points except at high premiums. Ex-
porters are said to be in receipt Of fair
orders for hard winter wheat, but il
was exceedingly difficult to obtain def
mite particulars. Still il was the gen
oral impression that they had contract

Don't say ladies'" please; don't

TO the past; the Victorian period saw
the last of them, writes Jane Cowl in
the Washington Times.
Modern womanhood is something
nobler. and it has for its ideal, isis
terhood," the equality Of women with
out class distinction; that is the new
note in our life. Women, the world
over, have come to recognize their du-
ties toward each other. The fine lady
is no longer respected for merely be-
ing a fine lady; she is more honored
for what she does for the poor, unfor-
tunate members of her sex. The finest
women in our great glorious land
have reached out and given a helping
hand to unhappy girls like Ellen Neal
in Common Clay" A new spirit OF
sisterly love prevails among all WON
en-. which is to do great things for
civilization in the future.

Miss Mary smiled upon him with the

mentally registering her pity that a
young man Of her own age should

Saunders, who had come straight to
the chaplain's post from the theolog-
ical seminary, month before, was. in

partiality for Rev. Mr.. Saunders. He,

her? So strenuous has modern life
become that idleness is completely
shorn of its charm, and the girl who

days Tor the idle woman. Even in the
supposedly idle class of the very rich
sh" scarcely has a foothold
Turn where she WILL she will find
the woman of her set doing things.
The modern woman is stepped to the
eyes in work charities claim her
time, new and philanthropic move
ments hold her attention and humani
ty knocks insistently at her door. She
could not idle If she would and keep
her place in the rush Of modern prog
ress
The fact that idleness has fallen
into disrepute and is disdained even
by fashionable women is a blessing
to the girl who must work from ne
oessity. She has no longer to explain
and defend her own strenuous atti-
tude. Her friends are too busy them
selves, whether from mere inclination
or positive necessity, to enter into
arguments on the improperly OF
mans work for women.
So 1t behooves every girl to choose
some congenial work and thoroughly
prepare herself for It, so II the day OF
necessity comes she may turn to the
thing for which she is fitted and to
work which is congenial in order to
earn a livelihood.
The young girl Of today has every
thing on her side. She is infinitely
better off than the young girl of ten
years ago. and II she's wise she will
avail herself OF her opportunities
Exchange.
