NEW YORK COTTON.

New York, Dec. 1S.-This mornings
press advices from London created a
less favorable view of peace pros
poets, and after opening at a decline
of to "a points, the cotton market
had severe break under renewed
LIQUIDATION Wall street and Western
selling. Stop orders were uncovered
Just below Is cents for the summer
months and before the decline was
checked January contracts had sold at
17.4O and May at 1880 or about SO to

tons. Reports that private returns
indicated a ginning of 10,s7O. 900 bales
to December Is or $4,000 bales for the
last period, seemed to make a bearish
impression on sentiment. and prob
ably contributed to the early decline
Selling became still more active and
excited duri,-g the middle of the MORN
ing. Heavy Liverpool selling here in
creased the fear that peace overtures
would prove failure and numerous
stop orders were uncovered on the
break to 17.15 for January and 1850
for May, or 81 TO II points net lower
Trading then became less active and
there were rallies of 10 or Is points
around midday on covering.
AS the text OF Lloyd Georges
speech began to reach the trade from
London, a much firmer tone developed
in the cotton market Rallies were as
rapid and almost as excited as the
early decline. By the middle of the
afternoon May contracts has ascend
ed to 1920 or 20 points from the low
level Of the morning.
Trading was not as heavy as II had
been on the early break, by there was
active covering and fresh buying. and
recoveries were near last nights clos
ing figures.
Conflicting reports as to the mr.
port Of the British premier's speech In
parliament caused more or less irreg-
ularity early in the afternoon. but the
market showed increasing stead'ness

New Orleans. Dec 1s.-Liquidation
was heavy in the cotton market early
today and prices fell under 1t IS to

Reports which reached the market

that the war would continue. Prices

TAKE AN EFFICIENT SHAVE
Usual Method Is Full Of Lost Motions and Wasted Time-Many Need
 less FIourishes.

One of the most fantastic persons in the world is the public official who, be- fore he can write postal order or a tax receipt, has to make preliminary curls of penmanship in the air. Ob- served by the scientific eye, we are much more fantastic ourselves. If our effective motions could be registered
 on visual target, our record would be found to resemble that of savages who use ammunition without a sight on their guns. If we think that the or dinary soldiers craftsmanship is wastefu1, we may we'll look to our selves. Our life is peppered with mo- tions that fly wide and wild. 1t begins on awaking. We ought to utilize that gesture for polishing our shoes. We should rub our eyes on Sunday for the rest of the week. But it is in processes like shaving that scientific manage ment is really needed. Men flatter themselves that they shave with the minimum of gesture. They believe that they complete the operation un- der five minutes. But, excusing their inaccuracy, do they know that under the inspection of the scientific mana ger their performance would look as
 jagged as their razor blade under the miscroscope? The day will probably arrive when superman will shave with one superb motion, as delightful
 to the soul as the uncoiling of an orange skin in one long unbroken peel.
