HOROSCOPE.
THURSDAY, DECEMBER IL, 1915


Good and evil contend in this days
planetary influences. according to as
trology Neptune is in benefc and
Jupiter is adverse.
During this configuration there may
be a decline in certain lines of busi-
ness, but this is only due to the dy
ing of the year, which means much
since 1918 was the most eventful of
all the worlds history.
Neptune promises gain to owners
of oil prospects. 1t would seem from
the posting of the stars that new
sources will be found and widely dis
tributed profits realized.
There is sign most promising to
dealers in fine foodstufrs, One of the
peculiar reactions of the war will be
tendency toward epicurean indul-
gences, the seers declare.
This is a most favorable rule for
foresight and large plans.
There is an aspect that appears to
indicate that many of our soldiers
will be held overseas for a long time,
but they will never become expatri-
ates. for they will remain in the serv-
Ice of the nation.
Contrary to historical precedent
after-war conditions will be most for
tunate for both employed and en-
ployers in most ways, the seers de-
clare.
The coming of many teachers is
prognosticated. These will be sages
and philosophers from distant lands.
Actresses and singers wiz gain much
in honor. but little in money during
the next few weeks, but they have
brilliant promise of future opportu-
mites.
This is not a fortunate planetary
government for bankers, brokers and
financiers.
Persons whose birthdate it is may
have many anxieties in business in
the coming year. They should not
risk money or indorse paper or specu-
late.
Children born on this day may be
high strung and extravagant. They
may meet with money losses and have
many misfortunes. They should be
trained to frugal habits.

NEW YORK COTTON.

NEW YORK, May 22.-Weak cables
and bearish crop reports were followed
by active general selling at the opening
Of the cotton exchange today. First
prices were weak at a decline OF ID to

new low ground for the movement.
July contracts sold at 1855 on the call,
and October at 23.i0 or So to $3.50 per
bale below last nights closing. This
break attracted heavy covering which
caused sharp rallies before the end OF
the first hour, although the tone re-

July and from 1920 to $3.50 for Octo-

turned easier again during the middle
of the day with July sagging off to
24O0 and October to $3.50 or 10 to 81
