NEW ORLEANS COTTON,

New Orleans, Dec. 11-Lower prices prevailed during the entire session in cotton today, liquidation being against the market prior to the government report at 1 o'clock, while atfer that time breaks resulted because of the crop estimate of 11,700,OO0 bales were larger tha neXpected. In the first few minutes of trading after 1 o'clock prices fell 65 to 80 points; subsequent ly the drop widened to S5 to 100 points or a loss of $5 a bale on the weakest months. Last prices showed net de- clines for the day of only 65 to 74 points.
 The reaction toward the close was due. apparently, to the realization that while the governments estimate of the yield was larger than expected, the indicated crop was not large com pared with the peace needs of the world. Also, bullish traders mad much of the fact that the estimate of Ill., 700, GOO bales compared with :he aver age crop for the last five years of 13,- 327,317.
 The downward trend continued Just before 1 o'clock prices were 36 to 49 points under the close of yesterday.
 Spot cotton quiet and unchanged Sales on the spot no bales; to arrive 357. Low middling 24.75; middling 2S.50; good middling 2950 Receipts 10,354; stock 41,345
 New Orleans, Dec. 11.-Cotton closed steady at decline of 65 to 74 points.

ENROLLED UNDER RED CROSS
Greek Girls, Trained Here as Nurses.
Will Do Work of Mercy In Their
Own Country.

Greek girls In the uniforms of
American Red Cross nurses are now
serving in the hospitals Of Greece.
These girls are part of number from
New England who, anxious to help
their fellow countrymen, decided to
become nursing aids, says the public
information bureau, Washington.
They enrolled In training courses in
the Massachusetts General hospital
and other Boston hospitals, where
they soon became proficient In their
work. Recently four of them, who
had practically completed their
courses, decided that they would like
to 20. back to Greece with the Ameri-
can mission which was just then about
to leave. Through the Greek legation
they applied for permission to go with
this mission as members of the Amer
lean Red Cross 4i
Now they are not only serving their
own people, but are also creating a
feeling in Greece which cements the
long friendship of the Greeks with
America. Although no American
troops have been landed on Greek
soil, the people are nevertheless
pleased with the sight of an Ameri-
can uniform, no matter what branch
of the service 1t represents.
Another group of Greek girls In
Boston is taking up courses at Sim
mons college in dietetics, domestic
science and home aid. These girls
also expect shortly to sail for Greece.
