BY GEORGE Williamson,

S@SNSE fWSSANH
Covering by shorts in a market which
had been badly oversold furnished the
chlet feature OF the past week. Al
the crest of the recovery futures stood
approximately $3.50 a bale over the
lowest points recorded on Saturday,
December selling at 3O.35c and January
at 4s.5Oc. The higher level attracted
pr~otlt-taking and renewal Of pressure
from the bear crowd. which resulted in
q considerable portion of the gains be
ing lost. For the week net gains in
New York were 230 to It's points, while
IN New Orleans they were 1870 to 40,
In the spot department quotations were
unsettled and still showing wide range,
nlddling closing the period at assoc to
Sic, gains of from So 10 235 points.
Failure to dislodge the spot holdings
In the belt or to u~neastness
among those who were carrying he
supply was one OF the influences on
tributlnA 10 the upturn. There had
been much short selling on the theory
that the South could not and would
not attempt to resist the effort to force
turning loose at a time when stocks
were accommodating the spinning
world was showing but little DISPOSE
ton to buy its requirements. There
was the usual lot Of gossip. whose pur-
pose was to upset confidence and en-
courage making concessions. The prop
uganda that the coming of peace would
be accompanied or followed by lower
prices of all commodities, including cot
ton, was theoretically pushed. 1t was
even claimed that the government was
already Cancelling orders in anticipation
Of an early end to the war. although
no specific instances were cited. An
nouncement later in the period that
there was no truth in such reports
merely helped in the recovery, but they
did not seem to lessen the bearish
attitude OF spinners.
The upturn carried contracts nearer
to a parity with spots than they had
been for some time, n some business
in the actual was done. But buying
was largely from shorts and for spin
ners who fixed" prices on the future
basis. Demand b%roadened some, but
was by no means general and was
more or less sporadic. 1t soon subsidized
and toward the close Of the week
amounted to very little.
Holders Are Resisting.
Contributing to the changed attitude
among some of the traders was the
news thai some concert Of action was
being had among the producers and
others friendly to the staple. Not only
was there a realization by the pro-
Queer himself that quotations had
reached cost of production or less, but
an appeal was made for resistance to
the bearish efforts which were regarded
as largely manipulative. Then, too, con

Splendid Work
Done By High
School Girls In
War Saving Drive

If the War Savings Campaign clos
es tonight with Lakeland's quota un-
reached, one thing at least will have
been accomplished, namely, IRE
mendous amount Of educational work
which will undoubtedly bear rich
fruit in the days to come. This edu-
cational work has been done by few
men who have nearly all Of them laid
aside for the time being their ordi-
nary business, with all Of its daily
increasing demands, and given hours
and days of their time to carry the
message and endeavor to keep up
Lakeland's record in meeting the va
rious war work demands made upon
us. Instead of assisting the men in
this educational work 1t may fairly
be acceded that the girl workers lun-
der the leadership of Mrs. George
Wright, assisted by Miss Florence
Conibear), have led the men, because
! In their work during the last few
days these igrls have carried
I the message of War Savings and
I Thrift into practically every home in
i town and placed the stamps In the
| homes of people who before did not
| know what thrift or War Saving
stamp looked like. So, while 1t may
7 be that we shall be disappointed In
| not seeing the campaign closed, SO
far as meeting the quota at this time
by present purchases and pledges to
/ buy during the next three months
we may rest assured that through
this splendid campaign of education
our people will have the matter or
their hearts from now on until thu
end of the year SO that by Deem
Der 31st Lakeland will have bough
her quota of $1S0,000 worth Of Wa
Savings stamps and laid the founda
tion of thrift and saving instead o
. the wasteful conditions which hav
. hitherto characterized her as a ma
ton. and no feature of the presen
campaign or any which have pre-
, ceeed 1t will have greater forcec Il
