When Jessie Met the Farmer

she had drunk in the words of her in
structors, each striving to fill his pupils
with his own earnest purpose! Secretly
she had devoured every romance of the
pretty schoolteacher meeting her fate in
some forlorn nook or Granny of the
countryside, capturing the heart and
hand of the catch of the county.
In dreary contrast to snch visions she
looked at the dingy little country school
room with its rows of ancient, battle

set in the middle of the room giving the
lie to the old adage that where there is

her daily from the battered seats Ro-

paris. Dec. 21.-Never have there
hsen so many visitors in Paris, and
,uch slender accommodations.
The French capital is crowded with
newspaper correspondents and diplo-
.ries.
The peace missions have taken ov-
ar completely most of the big Paris
hotels from their delegates.
The Americans will occupy the Ho-
,sl Crillon and the former Red Cross
beadquarters at Place de la Con-
,orde.
Another large hotel on the left bank
# the Seine, the Hotel Lutetia, has
been assigned to the Belgian mis-
zion.
Another hotel which has turned
away its guests is the Hotel Louvre,
where the Italian mission is expected
% have its headquarters.
The visitors at the hotels COM
nandeered by the government were
only given the shortest notice to clear
,ut, and a scramble for accommoda-
ion elsewhere followed
Those who are apparently affected
he most are the American officers
who arrive in Paris from the front.
Everywhere they go they get the same
answer. Either the hotel has been
,ommandeered and is preparing to re-
seive the peace diplomats or 1t is

Cotton

AS there was no relief in sight for
the drouth- stricken sections of Texas
the cotton market yesterday made
sharp advances, which at one time
amounted to 61 to 65 points, October
selling at 25.92c and December at
2522c. Partial reactions in the after
noon under selling due to private pre-
dictions for precipitation in Western
Texas were followed by renewed sup
port near the close which carried prices
upward again, the final tone being very
steady at net advance Of Is to At
points. July was dull and not so firm
as the new crop position, and II any
large short interest remains in that
contract-as some think is the case
it does not appear to be very much
alarmed over the present outlook.
The very favorable war news and
less satisfactory private advlces from
portions Of Georgia, Alabama and
Louisiana had their effect on senti-
ment, but the principal bull factor
able outlook in the Southwest and
prospect that it will be reflected in the
weekly government weather and crop
report on Wednesday and the next gov
ernment condition report, which Is due
August 1.
In West Texas the situation was said
to be especially serious; some reports
said it was hopeless. The continued
high temperatures, as reported again IN
the Houston details made it seem evil
dent that unless rain comes soon the
same serious prospects may be report
ed from Central and Southwest Texas
Even now the prolonged dry weather
in the latter section has resulted IN an
early new crop movement and weak
ening of the basis, sales having been
reported at 45O points on October in
New York for cotton landed in Gal
weston.

Commodities

stocks will increase steadily from now
, on. Mills have been active buyers
to supply requirements to fill the
recent big business in flour. but the
receipts have been SO heavy that the
premiums recently prevailing for cash
wheat over the government minimum
have about disappeared.
Local grain merchants are doing
quite a large business in cash wheat
for export and it is expected that
within a comparatively short time the
movement from the seaboard to Europe
will begin to assume liberal proportions.
Rains fell Sunday night In North Da-
kota and will doubtless prove of great
benefit to the growing crop, which was
needing moisture in that locality. The
weather has been unusually favorable
for harvesting the winter wheat and
the quality of the crop is very highly
spoken Of.
Corn.-The movement of corn con-
tinues to increase despite the big
wheat movement and predictions that
corn receipts would fall off when wheat
began to be marketed freely. The
pressure Of this movement again had
bearish influence on the market,
which, after an early upturn of about
2 cents bushel, turned weak and
selling in the West by cash interests
presumably against heavy shipments
from the country, and as prices declined

The copper situation was unaltered
yesterday and the trade expects no
change at present. Lead continues to
be in strong demand and the price is
rrespondingly firm. The market is
dull, however, because offerings are
scant. The government is said to have
been taking large quantities OF lead.
There was an easier tone to spelter, if
any appreciable change could be noted.
While stock has decreased, so has out
put. The market is dull and commands
little interest.
Current prices for the principal
metals, compared with those prevail
ing year ago, follow:
