SUNDAY MOVING PICTURES

or course the Young Mems Glass of
the First Presbyterian Church are
against Sunday moving pictures, and
they were very glad indeed to hear
that the effort to put them in effect
had been abandoned We are very
much interested in the young men of
the city, and naturally have an inter
ested in how and where they spend
the Sunday afternoons
But the thing we are more inter
ested in, is where you spend your
Sunday mornng-the hour of Sunday
School. 1t is only one hour, but lot
of good can be accomplished in that
one hour, just as much as lot of
bad can be instilled in the character
of the young man in one hour of the
afternoon.
We are selfish--we invite you for
that reason. We do not like to be de-
prived of the pleasure it gives us to
have you with us. Come around to-
morrow and let us be benefited as
wei as yourself.

WEEKLY REVIEW
 OF COTTON MARKET
Weakness of Market Ate tributed to InternatiOnal Politics Increased Acre
 age and Spot Offering

New York, February s.-The cotton market has been extremely unsettled dur irg the past week and prices have worked Into the lowest ground reached since early last autumn as a result of heavy near month liquidation. March contracts. for instance sold as low as 11.32c on the break of Thursday, S6.55 per bale under the high level of last month, and more than slo a bale under the high records Of the season.
 Renewed nervousness over international politics the continued scarcity of ocean tonnage, aDprehensions of increased acre age and he usual vague rumors of in creased spot offerings have duoptfesg contributed to the decline, but the selling movement has been more largely attribu- ted to the possibility of heavy March noA. tices next Thursday Large stocks oe cotton have accumulated in the local

Hubbard Bros. & Co.,s Letter

New York. February 1s.-(Special )-The market today was without the selling pressure which caused yesterdays de- cline and was therefore steadier from the opening. Liquidation continued in March, which had a more or less unset tied effect, but the purchases here in the old crop months for foreign account was sufficient to absorb such selling orders as came to the market. There was a good deal of open selling in the open trading on the idea there would be a repetition ot yesterday, but the attempt to cover these contracts before the close found little for sale so that the market closed at the best. Our decline yesterday was so rapid that it naturally put our market out of line with southern markets and the re- action today was more or less in the na- ture of readjustment The weekly con- sumption figures were considered disap- pointing, but these vary greatly since the war, owing to confusion on the cables. and they are not necessarily a reliable guide to the actual takings. Sentiment is confused tonight, but the general ex- pectation is the advance cannot be main tained without an increase in the volume of buyig orders coming to the market.

LESS ACTIVE .ON COTTON MARKET
General List Closed Steady With a Net Advance of
 1 to 4 Points

New York, February 1S.-The cotton market showed continued nervousness to- day, but the selling was much less ac- tive than yesterday, and after an early decline to 11.64c for May contracts, the market rallied with that delivery. selling up to 11.7se, and closing at 11.77c. The general list closed steady at a net ad- vance of l to points. Liverpool was better than due, but there appeared to be a good many overnight selling orders around the ring here, and after opening barely steady at decline of to 8 points active months sold 10 Il points under last nights closing figures This decline carried March contracts off to Il .S9c, July to 11.s4c and October to 12.04c, or back to within 2 or points of the lowest level reached on the big break of yesterday afternoon. Houses with Liver pool connections were large buyers, par ticularly of July, on scale down. while local spot houses seemed to be willing buyers of March at 9 points under May and there was 8 further scattering de- mand from recent local sellers as well as considerable buying that was supposed to be against price fixing by spinners.
 March sold up to 11.5Sc July to 1198c and October to 12 16c in the late trading or about 12 to IA points above the low level of the morning. Closing prices were at practically the best point of the day. The Liverpool buying here was supposed to reflect further reduction of the strad- dle short interest in old crop deliveries, and Liverpool also bought october. but was a moderate seller of later months. The rally during the afternoon met ire. quent spurts of renewed liquidation, but March was freely taken at 25 points under May and 45 points under July.

COTTON PRICES TAKE AN UPWARD TREND
Better Demand for Spots Helped to Bring About
 Recovery

New Orleans, February 1S.-Cotton re- acted from the decline on this market, acquiring a firm undertone on realizing by recent short sellers. The market closed very steady within point of the highest levels of the day at net rise of to points.
 Initial trades showed steadiness and old crop months were opened at unchanged rrices while the new crops were 5 points down.
 For while the market felt the force of new selling, but the demand from the short side constantly grew and final ly became strong enough to bring about an upward trade. At the lowest the trading months were to 10 points un- der yesterdays close. From this there was gradual recovery and finally around the middle of the day the market went to net advance.
 Reports of better demand for spots from foreign buyers helped bring about the recovery, but no great amount of fresh buying for long account made it's appearance and the gossip of the market was bearish in tone. Quite generally the market was referred to as oversold.

WHEAT MARKET
 SHOWS ADVANCE
Liberal Export Buying Gave Strength to Market and
 Prices. Reach Top Level


 Chicago, February 1S.--Liberal ex- port buying, which followed an ad- vance in Liverpool quotations today. gave strength to the wheat market here. Prices closed firm at % @7sc to If @1ssc net higher, with May at S1.297s and July at $1.23M @1.24 Corn gained 4 @ ssc to 5sc, oats ssc to B 9s sc, and provisions 5Q17hc.
 Announcements that export sales would aggregate 100000 bushels ac- companied the advance of wheat to the highest point of the day. The ion level was reached just before the close of trading but the market all tbrough the session had an upward slant most of the time owing chiefly to sym pathy with conditions at Liverpool where offerings were reported as ex- ceedingly small and reserves daneer- ously low. In this connection if was said the government of Argentina was urging farmers to hold their wheat and was giving as reason that Europe must buy at any cost
 Disquieting crop reports from the domestic winter wheat belt acted as further handicap on the bears Ac- cording to a well known authority the recent violent changes in tempera- ture had caused alternate thawine and freezing in numerous sections and had not unlikely brought considerable dam age to unprotected fields. On the other hand, enlarged receipts northwest ex- erted only transient influence against the bulls.
 Coarse grains were firmer Foreign CTS were buying both corn and oats, but mainly corn. The effect of good weather and of relatively large re- ceipts of corn was thus more than off, set.
 Provisions advanced notwithstanding decline in the value of hogs. Com mission houses were generally on the buying side. After the upturn pack CTS led the selling.
