In d u s trials
Cotton

The disturbing character of the
early war news caused sharp break
in the cotton market at the open
ing yesterday. But as soon as the
first rush of selling subsidized prices
turned stcadier and the losses were re-
covered. with July contracts selling up
from 31.50 to 32.14, or points net
higher. Later fluctuations showed re-
3l.s6;, with the general list closing
points on the old crop, while the new
crop was net unchanged to l point
higher
The opening decline carried the more
active positions about 80 to 56 points
net lower. For time liquidation was
extremely active, but many contracts
were absorbed around the initial level
by continued demand from the trade.
There was also good buying by houses
with. Liverpool and New Orleans con-
nections.
AS soon as the selling for long ac-
count slackened the market turned
steadier, and rallies during the middle
of the day were promoted by the more
favorable character of war news, the
dry weather in the Southwest and the
continued bullish average Of Southern
spot advices. May sold up from 32.37
to 1886, or back to within points of
Saturdays close, with the later months
working about 2 to points net higher.
Sentiment, however, was still nervous,
and the market was unsettled in the
late trading by rumors of further Ger
man successes. New crop deliveries
were relatively steady during the en-
tire day, owing to the outlook for dry
weather in the Southwest
Except for the effect of the war news,
local brokers said they found no new
factor in the situation. The early
break was attributed to liquidation of
long contracts, and the rally from tn @
early low level was supposed to reflect
healthy technical position as we'll as
continued trade buying. Reports as to
acreage prospects were somewhat con-
f1lcting, but many of the Southern
newspapers are running full page ad-
vertisements urging planters to in
crease the area under foodstuffs, and
the talk around the ring here showed
little or no change of sentiment as to
prospects in that matter.
The Liverpool buying was accom-
panied by reports that large amount
OF tonnage would be allotted for April
shipment. The heavy early buying by
New Orleans was supposed to be on the
differences, as the Southern market
had relatively firm opening. South
ern spot markets as officially reported
were 25 points lower to 81 points high
er, generally unchanged. Exports to

Metals

Close observers of the copper trade
said yesterday that it would be some
time before the supply of the metal
would catch up to the demand Trans
portatlon snags are still causing much
delay
The government orders, of course.
receive priority, and next in order to
receive attention are orders from con.
Germs with government orders. the
non n-essential industries have to be sat
lsted with what is left of the supply
and the flow to them is most uncertain
The future Of the industry, accord
ing to men in the trade, is fraught with
uncertainty. The chief factors of doubt
are the probability of the opening of
new mines, the expansion of govern
n1cnt orders and the resumption of bet
ter transportation conditions In view
of the existing conditions the feeling
exists that the copper men have done
we'll in meeting the nations needs as
we'll as they have.

Hope was pleased when came home and told her MT. Haskins said he was never angrier than when he heard had taken off the wheel of the other mans automobile and never more pleased than when he learned of my adventures in saving his property and my own neck or limbs.
 There never was anything the matter with your alertness," said Hope, your stupidity is entirely of a differ ent- kind" -<s~.-.-

USEFUL THINGS TO KNOW.

Dear Social Corner Sisters. These things tell for economy and may 1elp someone:
 To clarity fat. melt up fats. add raw potato cut in quarter inch slices and allow fat to heat gradually. When fat ceases to bubble and potatoes are well Drowned strain the fat through double cheesecloth placed over wire strainer into bowl or small crock
 Remnants of fat cooked and un- cooked should be saved and tried out and clarified in this way.
 For those who sleep in fireless r0orAs I offer this advice: Get cotton blankets two pairs, and sleep between them, in stead of in cotton sheets.
 To restore wool sweater to ShaEe after it had stretched in the wash wet the sweater thoroughly, then drop il into the bottom of an old pillow slip (do not wring), hang the pillow slip on the clothesline by the hem and lei the water drip out of the case. Ii will take about q week to dry this way. The sweater is almost dry, but still somewhat damp. Hang it in the sun till thoroughly dry.
 Victory Bread may be made as fol lows: One cup of cornmeal, cup ei boiling water. one half tablespoon oi shortening, one e-half cup of moiasses one-half tablespoon of salt, half . yeast cake dissolved in cup of ho water, cup of rye flour, three and one. half cups of white flour. Pour boiling water on the cornmeal, add shorten. ing, salt and molasses or syrup. Ado yeast and flour. Bake about an hour HANNAH WAI91 V

THE LATEST INDICTMENT,

Dear Social Corner Sisters: I have come to the conclusion that more than one-half the people in this climate do not know how to dress. The women with their bare necks and thin-solel shoes and translucent stockings make their lack of sense most apparent, but the men without oysrcoats and general shivery appearance are less in evil dence..
 In cold northern state recently 50N men and women were examined by a physician to see if they were properly dressed for the weather 'anc 8 pei cent of the women were insu6iciently clad and 90 per cent. of the men. In this respect the men look aslSallct at the women as victims of vanity
 while they appear to be indicted al victims of either inefHciency or ignoF. ance.
 This is hard blow; and as we foul the women or their lack of sense we cannot escape the odium of this reye. l lation against ourselves. > Well, we should all in the iuteresl
 of health and thrift see that we ars \ clad in sufficient clothing in cold wea' 1 ther. If there was nothing but tn. discomfort Of it, it would be woftf
 while to attend to this negligence; bu
 it opens the way to various maladies l the purchase of iostrurns. the attend
 ance of physicians and nurses. Thert
 is economy in dressing comfortably, THE CRANK,

HIT AND MISS THOUGHTS.

Oh! No! am not lost Just frozen. nave been ill cold storage ali winter and am just looking over my thoughts as the farmers do apples and pota- toes. First, during the icy and snowy weather have been seeing the differ fence in men with teams.
 The first was a young fellow with a pair of light horses and an. average load for good sledding, but it was just damp enough to stick and it stuck fast. He was not cruel. but he did want to get that load up the hill. Just in the critical time his father came along and after showing the boy that it was a. physical impossibility for those horses to draw the load, half was thrown off and taken the second trip. Although l have known that man for years my opinion of him went up even higher. because of the little incident. l A few days later there was a light snow on Tod of hard ice and I heard signs of trouble At the foot of the hill was Ia fine horse Gone of my ia veritesl. with a load of wood. The driver had the horse by the bride and aid not dare let 80 for fear he would fall and ifijure himself. The load was pulling horse and man back. and big balls of snow prevented the horse from getting the least foothold.
 Arming myself with big flat stick and one that could be used to dispose of the snow baRa I hastened to the rescue and after q short rest with the load securely blocked and his feet free from snow' the horse soon took the load to the top.
 Number three was a man old enough
 to know. and temperance man-s man who ought to set an example. His
 harses are not large and not fat, but
 they are willing and when they hat to stop at the foot of the steep icy hil
 he pounded them unmercifuiiy with :
 stick of cord wood. Both fell to theil
 knees. but they got up and started be
 fore T could get cut. My opinion O
 him went down with a thud.
 l
 I have spent some time this winter in the village library and have me
 several surprises. One little boy walk
 at least four miles for his books
 counting both ways,
 One girl takes missionary hool
 every week-the hest-and she talk
 on them in a way that would put mos
 of the local missionary meetings t
 shame. She takes for the whole fam
 fly and demands the best and he
 schooling has been limited, Y Some girls choose only school gir stories-not harmful, but not instruc
