Cotton

Selling for profits caused irrcgularity
III the cotton market yesterday, but
last prices showed net gains Of 8 to
10 points. May contracts sold up from
3O.10 to 30.73, broke to 3O.45 and closed
at 5000, compared with 30.47 the day
before
In a general way the early advance
was caused by the ready absorption of
small March notices, renewal of
trade buying and covering of short
contracts. There was some March
llquidation at the start, and that de-
livery opened II points lower, but the
notices amounted to only $500 bales,
and it was reported that they were
Trade interests bought the March
sold around the ring. and the price
soon trmed up, reaching 31.O5 before
the end of the morning, or 80 points
above Wednesdays closing figures
Other months opened s to 81 points
higher, and at one time showed net
gains of "a to 20 points. The elimina-
tion Of the heatless Mondays i'll New
England and more optimistic advices
from Washington as to prospects for
ocean tonnage were helping factors,
but the chief feature was the strength
Of the goods market, reports of further
large government orders for goods and
the trade buying. Sellers of late
" edncSday covered on the advance, but
after the more urgent demand had
been supplied the market weakened
under realizing for over the three day
adjournment. Liverpool buying caused
the late rally. Private cables from
Liverpool reported scarcity of con-
tracts there owing to trade buying and
calling.
The notice that all cotton remaining
in the Bush Stores must be removed
by Saturday morning seemed to un-
settle the market, although one Of the
results VIII be the cancellation of GER
titcates on about 5000 bales of cot
ton, with a consequent reduction in the
supply available for delivery on con-
tract unless other licensed warehouse
room is found and the cotton recer-
titicated.
Private wires reported a good rain
at San Antonio, and the official fore
cast was for warmer weather, with oc-
casional rains in East Texas. 1t is felt
that Texas needs frequent and good
general rains to fully relieve the
drouth situation. Exports for the day
were 1881 bales, making 2,65l,715 so
far this season. Southern spot markets
as officially reported were 13 points
lower to 23 points higher.

Corn.-The speculative market was
inactive, but the undertone was firm,
with closing prices unchanged to &c
higher. The February position in Chi
cago sold at the full maximum price
OF S1.2S, while March was l4c under,
and May, sc under. The cash posi-
ton was strong and the action Of the
market reflected the big absorbing de-
mand for cash corn. Receipts this
week have not kept up with last weeks
hig movement but corn is now moving
with considerable freedom. Complaints
have been received regarding the poor
condition of many of the cars sent
into the grain belt, it being claimed
that Il large percentage are not in con-
dition to handle the grain.
The way offers are being taken shows
that the waiting demand was fully as
large as predicted and two weeks Of
heavy receipts have made no impression
en- values. Mills are far behind in their
orders for corn meal and corn flour
and there is an urgent demand for
corn from millers. Feeders are also
clamoring for the grain, and the fact
that values are maintained in the West
despite the embargo against shipments
to the East is fair illustration of the
enormity of the demand. AS soon as
traffic conditions permit there is GER
tain TO be Il big rush to buy corn for

phenomenal strength owing to a tre-
mendous cash demand The Chicago
Board of Trade on Wednesday after
noon passed a resolution restricting
gains for any one day to . cents per
bushel. At first it was thought that
TINS. together with reports that both
President Wilson and, the food admin
istration were against any advance in
the fixed price for wheat, would have
a depressing influence on values. Aside
from moderate reaction at the open
ing, however, prices were strong and
the near positions closed at the full
limit OF the 2-cent advance, while Nav
was 17sc higher. The local cash mar
ket was strong.

WRITE TO YOUR BOY

If some of the mothers and fathers
could see the disappointed look on
their boys face when the mail is
given out in France-hear him say,
Another mail and no letter from
home; I would rather have one let
ter from home than one from each
of the friends know think they
would not rest at night until they
had a letter ready for the post for
that boy, and be sure that he got
one at least every other post, once
or twice week. I wonder If they
know they are depending on them
for love. A boy expects 1T. at least
from his own people, and you. may
be sure If he does not get it in let
ters from home, in most cases he
gets none. Can you picture a young
boy ready to go in the line and just
before the mail is given out, as is
the case sometimes when 1t just hap
pens along before we leave our bill
let, he fails to get letter and re-
marks: mo letter last time" or
None this time, and 1 am going
in the line" and you see a tear fall.
l have seen this happen.-Charles II.

THE LABOR SUPPLY

(New York Times)
Secretary Wilson said three weeks
ago that the supply of labor was
sufficient for our industries, the
problem to be solved being one of
adjustment. This assertion is now
repeated by the United States EN-
ployment Service, which, under the
direction of the Department of La
Dor, has set out to make a census
of the Nations workingmen and to
provide for distribution of them by
means of local offices or exchanges.
Help will be given by labor unions
and existing state organizations.
Evidence in support of the encour-
aging conclusion that supply is
equal to demand is found in pub
lished reports from all parts of the
country. In several large cities
there is neither surplus nor short
age. But in many places the scales
are not evenly balanced. And in
some industries there are more ap-
plicants for work than can be en-
Eloyed, while in others the addition
of hundreds is needed. The EN-
ployment Service must transfer men
from one state to another and salts
fy the requirements of industries,
beginning with those which are of
vital importance.
