COTTON MARKETS.

New York. March 6-There was q reaction
in the cotton market today. after new high
levels had been established following easiness
in the forenoon.
The market opened to % points net lower.
March showing greatest weakness. The easier
technical position was considered chiefly re-
sponsible for the early decline Of % to =
points
The market developed . much hrmer tone
in the early afternoon. Local and Wall Street
reactionists. alarmed BY the case with which
the market was absorbing their offerings, turned
to cover. The demand caused q fun recovery
from the earlier decline and prices moved into
high ground. Later in the day the undertnne
was unsettled and feTerish. The close was
steady At . net decline Of 3 to 81 points.

From the Financial Ticker

The following analyses OF the stock
market situation were received yes
teTday by w. B. Hibbs & Co.:
Josephthal & Co.-EXcept for the
announcement that the railroad bill is
ready for passing, there is little in the
morning news which can be construed
as influential for the moment. How
ever, further easing Of the money sit
uation and the large numbers of IA
vorable earnings statements which
have recently come to light give am
pie reason for the expectation of a
better market.
Chisholm G. Chapman-The more op-
timistic view of the situation is the
assurance Of the passage OF a favor
able railroad bill, the probable enact
ment of the war finance bill, and the
gradual feeling that although this
country has made mistakes In its war
preparations, from now on. due to
criticism or In spite of II, all depart
ments are going full steam ahead.
Clark. Childs-The money problem
has been brought into more promi-
nences by the Saturday decrease in
bank reserves, but we do not believe
this SO serious as might appear at
first glance.
Springs & Co.-Fundamentally. the
situation is as sound as ever and
stocks for the most part are cheap so
that investment buying is still plain
ly advisable. but on the investment
side a certain amount OF caution is
advisable.
Henry Clews-The immediate, rath-
er than the remote. Russian situation
is the one which must be recognized
as q financial factor.
Denial is made in official quarters
that the Baldwin Locomotive Works
is arranging or contemplating any fl
nancing. The rumor has been in cir
culation for several days.
The fact that the company still had
about 100000 floating debt at the
end Of the year is supposed to have
caused the circulation of the rumor
The company has been engaged al
most entirely on government work
and the annual report of December
81. 1917, recently published, showed
advances from the government of 81
77s,620.

Athens, August 51.-{Special3 : The sound of the hammer is fast becoming an echo as preparations for the open ing of school rapidly hears completion. On September 19 Athens college opens it's doors and begins it's seventy sixth year with indications pointing to one of the most successful years in it's history. It is encouraging to, those who are in- terested in and giving their lives for the educational uplift of the people at large to note the tendency of the girls to at- tend college this year. One might be per- fectly safe in saying that almost go per cent of the high school graduates are attending college this year.
 Those who have watched the growth of Athens college for many years testify to the thoroughness of it's work, and the high standards upheld by the presidents who have, through the many years since it's founding, guided it to the front rank in the educational world where it stands today. All those who are acquainted with pr. R. B. Glasgow, the present head of the institution, are certain that the dignity and integrity of the college which have been conspicuous during it's growth will be maintained.
 Athens acodemy offers a thoroughly four-year preparatory course for college entrance The department of domestic science and large music hall are well equipped and in keeping with the high curriculum maintained by the college itself
 Among the improvements which will prove delight to the girls during the coming year is large, handsome swim ming pool and gymnasium, which will be ready for use in the near future.

Assurance of Victory

From the Christian Herald
 In very real degree we can ascertain the nature of our coming victories or defeats by examining the character of our expectations. We may regard all our unbeliefs as the ministers and prescusors of disaster. Whenever did unbelief go into battle singing a song of praise? When did unbelief stride out into the second mile with the fine determination to make the second mile the justification of the first? It is only the assurance of victory which works miracles of this kind. and it works them every day.
