COTTON

Nav orleans, February 10.--Only nar- row nrice changes occurerd in cotton this last week, the extreme range being 50 to 53 points. Toward the end, trading was restricted by the triple holidays. Tn the earlier sessions influences about balanced and no features develored which swayed opinion strongly, one way or the other The active months on the close were IS points to points lower than the last prices of the preceding week
 Fear of legislation against the market was depressing influence around the middle of the week, but later on the feel ing became much more optimistic in this direction. The loss of the Tuscania, together with the somewhat larger rner- chant tonnage loses by the British served to give the market a bearish feeling for awhile and the short side was also aided by the small takings for inc week. but at no time did real selling develop. It was generally recognized that mill takings had to be small because of the transportation situation.
 Toward the close of the week, the lift ing of the fuel holidays had a steadyins effect on the market, and in addition, there was a distinct Improvement in the spot inquiry, sales on the closing ses- son amounting to about 5000 bales i'll told. In addition, 1t was claimed in the spot department that the inquiry was broadening out and extending to the lower grades which long have been re- earded as drug on the market.
 This week trading will commence Wednesday morning, since Tuesday Is legal holiday in both of the American markets. and Monday will be observed as a holiday because of the schedule of fuel holidays drawn up sometime ago.

There is no use in playing tennis unless one can do it prettily, and there is no good reason why one can't be pretty in the clothes that have been designed for tennis wear this coming season. All sorts of smart skirts, with blouses built on just as attractive lines, are at the disposal of the girl who yields the racquet, very delightful example of each being shown here. The skirt is of white Roshanara crepe and is made of comfortable width, while the blouse shows one of the new tucked bosoms, just like 6 mans. Completing the costume is a light weight hat, with a printed khaki-kool crown.

Looking Through a Steel Axle

From the Popular Science Monthly. The periscope, so efficient in trench ard submarine warfare, now has a
 pacific application. It promises to avert many accidents resulting from defective locomotive axles.
 The axle is bored longitudinally, the size of the bore being ample to per | init insertion of the periscope, which Is about 40 inches long and one and one-half inches in diameter. At one end is a magnifying mirror upon which light Is thrown from the han , dle. Looking through the periscope inspectors obtain clear view of ev- cry part of the axle and are enabled to detect the flaws in the steel.
