General List Closed Steady Yesterday With Good
 Net Advances

New York. January S.-The cotton mar ket showed increasing activity and
 strength today with May selling up to 1S.6Sc, or 45 points above Fridays close
 and more than $11.15 per bale above the
 low level of last month. That delivery
 closed at 1S.e0c, with the general list
 closing steady at net advance of 25 to
 ss points
 The market opened firm at an advance
 of to l7 points on a renewal of yester-
 days buying movement, which was en-
 couraged by bullish weekend figures.
 over night spot sdvices. and reports of
 continued activity in the western goods
 trade There was realizing which caused
 some irregularity, but offerings were ab- sorbed by the buying of spot houses and
 broadening outside demand which in- ciuded considerable support from Wall street and western sources.
 Realizing caused reactions of or z points in the late trading, but offerings were comparatively light during the entire
 morning. As usual on Saturday, Liver pool was closed so that there were no ca bles to influence sentiment and there ap-  peared to be nothing in political news to create any fxesh view of peace prospects or the oceaMS freight situation. Local brokers, consequently, were inclined to attribute the advance to gradual re- vival of confidence and a moderate i'm pavement in trade demand combined with continued firmness in the interior spot markets. Business in Fall River continued light sales of print cloths for the week being estimated at only 50.00( pieces, but no accumulation of goods were reported and manufacturers were said to be maintaining prices Fertilizer interests report that sales for this years cotton planting have been heavy so far, with indications pointing to a large use of fer tilizer than for any year since 1914. Good
 rains were reported east of the Mississip- | pi yesterday, but no further precipitation occurred in the southwest, where rainfall up to the end of December was below normal.

Warfare Among Bees
|Gaston Bonnier in La Revue Hepdor
 daire, Paris

lGaSton Bonnier In La Revue HepdOma-
 daire, Paris.
 1 The conflicts among bees haveIh | same causes as great wars among na-
 tions; overpopulation, bad harvests, the desire for booty Indeed it is always
 the strongest colonies which declare the war against weaker ones, and war reg i ularly begins at that epoch of the year
 when there is no more nectar to cull from the flowers. The conqueror never fails | to carry home the honey of Nhe con
 quered. even if his own hives are packed sBut-and here the analogy with man is striking one-the wal
 continues even after its economic pur- poses have been fully accomplish ed The intoxication of success drives the conquerer to carry the fight to a finish The most naked materialism prevails | on every rung of the social ladder, from | the queen to the lowest day 1aborer 1 iCollectivist egotism, cruelty carried to barbarity, pitiless murder of the wound ed, even if the latter belong to the con- queror's own colony, the savage elimi- nation of the veterans when they have l lost their usefulness-these are some | of, the principal tenets of the bees
 moral code.
 When Maeterlinck speaks in enrap- tured terms of the clever militaristic organization of. the city-state of Hy- lmenopteropolis, the poet draws a gen tie veil over the bayonet attacks and lasphyxiating gases of the warrior 5 trench warfare.
 We must, further, not forget that the
 bees have not given up altogether the time- -honored method of fortress war fare Most of the battles take place within the beehives. and here small, well organized garrison can successfully resist an enemy attacking with superio forces.
 With fangs and mandibles the com- batants grasp one another in deadly
 embrace. Only in this position can the Isting do it's work. The double pair of wings are useful for the transportation of the troops, each one representing an aeroplane. But there are no Zeppelin fights. In whatever way the struggle may have started, the adversaries are soon on the solid ground.
 If in spiteSof all precautions, hostile
 bees or other enemies have succeeded
 in forcing the gates the inmates resort
 to trench warfare, every one of the parallel wax cakes forming fortified ditch. Incredible as 1t may seem, sen
 tinels are posted, and when a working
 bee returns with forage the patrol ap-
 breaches and seems to ask for the pass

STOCK MARKET IS
 WITHOUT FEATURE
Closing of Traders Con. tracts Caused Some
 Slight RecOveries

New York, January 5-Except for its relatively strong undertone todsy's dull and narrow market presented no feature of especial interest. Recoveries of 1 to 3 points from yesterdays lowest levels, some of which were later forfeited. re- suited almost wholly from the closing of traders contracts.
 The attendance of members on the floor was characteristic of the post-holiday period and public interest was again lacking. United States Steel and the usual specialties comprising the equip ment and munitions groups contributed more than half to the insignificant total. Metals also were substantially better, with shippinSs, but rails were apathetic. Total sales of stocks amounted to SS5, 600 shares.
 Foreign affa rs evoked little interest aside from the announcement of another large gold importation for account oe the British government Recurrenr runiors of the cancellation of war orders were denied. Exchange on London was firm, but rates on Paris. Berlin and Rome shaded lightly.
 Domestic trade reports indicated 8 slight halt in mercantile lines, based on peace discussions and probability of an early reduction from high levels for some Of the leading raw produces. The cstr shortage continues to work to the detri- ment of steel mills and allied industries.
 Actual reserves of local clearing house banks for the first week of the New Year expanded more than $23, 0O,0O0, in creaslng the total excess reserves to above $14o000,000, while reserves in vaults of banks increased almost S40,000,O 900.
 Firmness ruled in bonds, with an ac- tive demand for Southern railway general As at full point gain. International bonds also denoted a better inquiry Total sales of bonds, par value, $3,S50, coo.
 Government bonds were slightly more active during the week, United States Ss advancing slight fraction, while Panama 3s yielded point.

GRAIN AND PRODUCE

Chicago. January 6.-Ernpefor William message to his troops that the war would continue acted as one of many elements today that forced sharp advance in the price of wheat. After an extreme rise of 5A the market reacted. but closed strong Pc to 4ssc net higher. with May at $1.s47s to s1S51s. and July at s1.s1ls to $1.51ss. Other staples, too, scored sub
 stantial gains: Corn. 1asc to 1ssc; oats, 1c to 1hc, and provisions, g12c to S2c.
 From the beginning the wheat market
 displayed notable strength Besides the belligerent announcement from the Ger man Emperor the course of the Senate in dealing with President Wilson's appeal to the European combatants appeared
 to have had special effect toward chang ing sentiment in favor of the bull side of the market. Leaders in yesterday s selling become conspicuous buyers, and the scarcity of offerings was so pro- nounced that the advance in values met no material opposition until in the last hour profit taking and weekend trading caused sag
 Enthusiasm of wheat buyers rested to a considerable extent on advices that the
 number of vessels at Gulf of Mexico ports was now ampH. Much attention was also given to statements that domestic stocks l outside of the commercial visible supply were rapidly disappearing and that a decrease was likely in the visible sup | ply total on Monday.
 Corn advanced to s1 a bushel, May l delivery the highest price since 1892, and with that excertion the topmost level in
 40 years. Active European buying of fu- | lures seemed to be largely responsible. | Oats shared the strength of other ce- reals. Liberal purchasing for the sea- | board helped to lift the market.
 Advancing quotations on hogs and grain caused free buying of provisions. Notice was taken also of the fact that western receipts of hogs for the week totaled only
 6e7.Oe0 as against 97S,00O a year ago. | Future quotations were as follows:

New York Futures
New Orleans Cotton

New Orleans, January GA bulge of almost S2 bale resulted In cotton here today from a demand stimulated by re- ports of an increase inquiry for spots in the belt at rising prices Trade houses representing spinning interests and spot people were seldom as the Heaviest buy CTS of futures. The market opened at the advance which was well maintained throughout the short weekend session, the highest prices being made toward the close.
 In the early trading prices rose 15 to 16 points. Telegrams from the interior said foreign buyers were bidding as high as 17.50c pound, basis middling, at interior points, without dislodging cot ton, increased the demand, and the mar ket was later on still further stimulated by the rise of 25 points in spot quota tions here. Late in the day active months were 30 to 43 points up. The close was very steady at a net rise of "A to S9 points.
 October did not follow the advance well, showing little of the strength which marked it earlier in the week. One theory for this was that straddlers were re- versing their position in order to secure profits.
