cent cotton was traded in today in
the local market for the first time
this season and for the first time in
over half a century. July sold at 25
cents on the first call rising los
points over yesterdays close. Other
months made gains of "a to 81 points.
The bulge was in response to a SEN
satlonal rise in the Liverpool market,
which appeared to be due to forecasts
of greater losses of tonnage through
the work of submarines the last week
than have been unusal of late.
Heavy realizing met the advance
and prices reacted until they were
only "a to 35 points above the level
of yesterdays close. LaItc in IA
morning the tone was steady, the ac-
tive months showing q net rise of 81
to II points.
Thereaction widencd in the after
noon under increased profit takinA.
At 80, the active months we're only
3 to 13 points over yesterdays last
quotations.

N. F. Thompson. in the Louisville cou- rier-Journal.
 i GTNlRoM personal study covering l lF1 large portion of the south, l am able to make a statement that
 in my opinion is the most important that
 has gone from that section slnce the
 close Of the war between the states.
 For more than half century the south
 has been welded to an agricultural poll | icy from which it appeared impossible to change, a policy that was confined to one crop-cotton-and which entailed
 the spending the entire proceeds of that crop, and more besides, for the purchase
 of food products and supplies from other sections.
 That policy is now undergoing a
 change, and instead of purchasing food
 and forage crops from other sections the south is going to produce these
 crops on it's own soil and by it's own ! labor.
 Two causes have operated to bring about this change, and these are: The boil weevil and the war or, to put it in a more homely phrase, an insect pest that for a time destroyed the cotton
 crop and human pest, known as Kali
 racy and civilization.
 It has required these two causes to break the south away from it's one crop policy, and compel it to adopt di- versfied farming instead, and this Is bringing new era to that section, an era that promises greater wealth for It's people than if the combined product from all the gold, silver and diamond mines of the entire world were given into their hands.
 This is q strong statement, but it is one that can easily be shown to be true.
 Here is the proof of it's correctness: The value of all the precious metals through out the world, produced from all the gold, silver ard diamond mines last year,
 has been given at a round billion of dollars, and yet the sum sent out of the south last year for food and forage was going to remain in the south hereafter, for this section is raising its own food and forage crops The value of the cot ton crop has, for the past 50 years, all gone for food and feed, but now that crop will become the surplus crop and its cash value will enrich those who produce 1t. The department of agricul- ture has estimated the farm value of this years corn crop in the south at s1 ASS, ,o00oOo. which is more than any cot ton crop ever raised in that section.

That is the thing that hurts. Well, you have done it with marvellous facility and you make all the motives and feelings perfectly clear without analyzing the guts out of them, the way George Eliot does. l can't stand George Eliot and Hawthorne and those people; see what they are at hundred years before they get to it and they just tire me to death And as for The Bostonians," I would rather be damned to John Bunyan's heaven than read that.

 Tt is as easy to understand Mark Twain's enjoyment of Indian Summer as his revolt against Daniel Deronda and The Bostonians.'
