HIGH SCHOOL TRIMMED
Basketball Team Defeated by Drury

Bennington High schools basket
ball team was badly defeated on the
Welfare association floor Friday eve-
ming by score of 65 to s. The Ben

loss of two good players, Paddock
and White, but the regular lineup
wouldn have had ghost of show
against the fast and systematic play
of the Drury five.
During the larger portion of the two
Commute halves the ball was kept in
Bennington's half of the court. Oc-
casionally it would be carried into
Drury territory and 1t was during
these brief bursts of speed on the
part of the home team that Harwood
and Burt were able to score the eight
points made for Bennington. The

 CLOSING COTTON LETTER
 NEW YORK, Jan. 2.-Liverpool was very steady at the time of our opening. due to scattered continental and gen. eral buying with no hedge selling.
 Our market made fair response to the better cables and this, coupled with the heavy buying for foreign account, led to a further rise in values today.
 The market became unsettled after Liverpools close.
 Report that Germany would enter into a more ruthless submarine war fare should the allies refuse to consider peace offers, a decline of about 10 points was scored This was rapidly regained however, with the locals try ing to cover. The market is very ner vous and easily influenced by political rumors. The technical position re- mains strong, however, and we believe purchases on all dips such as we have had today would soon show good profits.

MARKET NEWS By R. Allyn Lewis

NEW YORK. Jan. 2-Except for the renewal of the U-boat scare. the mar ket has been rather featureleSs. The big break that preceded the new year has shaken confidence. Political news and the fear that this country may finally become embroiled in the European war have also dis turbed the holders of securities. Not withstanding this, the market is on q better basis than for some time. Brokers loans are fairly well liqui- dated
 They are not as small as they used to be- but they cannot be in that shape while business continues on Q large scale.
 Prices are down to a reasonably safe basis and money is getting easy again. Under present conditions large gold imports must continue and with the general slackening down of business which we are getting, money will ac- cumulate The first effect of this is investment buying and the next is speculation Insiders in industrial com panies that are making money are picking up the stocks. Some of these are selling on a basis which warrants higher prices, even after the war is over.
 
 Operating expenses are increasing and many systems which heretofore have shown big net increases are showing net decreases.
 This is noticeably so with the wes- tern roads and with Norfolk and Western. We cannot but believe but this may be recognized by the Inter state Commerce Commission and that this controversy will be treated with fairness.
 A market acting like this always creates a short interest and usually the lever that causes good advances.
 Every indication points toward better prices for the time being. Peace nego- tiations seem further away. Liquida- tion has been pretty thorough. Money is growing easier and business remains large. Large acreage has been planted for new crops. The probability is that with the law of averages they will be good. This means lot to the country
 Speculation will be discriminating

SERIOUS ACCIDENT

Mrs. E. F. Cooper was painfully in- jured and narrowly escaped death, when a horse which she was driving, became frightened and fell into an irrigation ditch. Mrs. Cooper with the children was driving along the edge of the canal, when an auto came up and attempted to pass The horse frightened by the light shied and stumbled into the ditch Mrs. Cooper was thrown from the buggy and the horse fell on her. Occupants of the auto sprang to her assistance and held the horse quiet until she could be drawn from beneath. The lady's arm was hurt and 1t is possible that internal injuries have occurred, as the weight of the animal rested on her breast. The children were not in jured.

The belief of many that the month of December 1917. was the coldest the Salt River valley has had in many years, is wrong according to compara- tive figures compiled yesterday by Su- perintendent F. F. Simmons at the government date orchard.

In December 1911, the mean maximum temperature was 59a3, the mean minimum tempera- ture 29.S0, and the average was 43.5 In December 1916. the mean maximum was 59.4a, the mean minimum 29.6 and the average 44.8. just 3 degrees war mer than the cold month of 1911.
