COTTON FUTURES
DECLINE AT CLOSE
Finish Is Easy With Net Drops
of 33 to As Points for
the Day.

The cotton market sold off yesterday
on heavy realizing following Fridays
spirited advance. The close was easy
at a net decline Of s3 to <5 points. De-
cember deliveries sold on to sass In the
late trading, or about 90 points net lower
and 81 points above the high level OF the
previous day. The general character
Of the spot and crop news showed no
change, but some uneasiness existed be-
cause of the railroad strike in England.
sposition to take profits after the ex-
tended advance increased probably by
apprehension Of weak Liverpool cables
tomorrow. Rumors from Washington
of a revolution In Italy was responsible
for a selling movement. Another fac
tor was the good weather map. Week
end statistics were bullish. but the prin-
cipal factor stimulating sentiment at
present is the apparently heavy demand
for Texas cotton.
Realizing and scattered Southern sell
ing caused the steady opening. Offer
ings were rather heavy. but they were
absorbed readily around Initial hgures
ana the market soon armed up on re-
ports that steel workers were returning
TO the mills in steadily increasing num-
bers and the stock markets strong OPEN
ing. Buying was encouraged by hrmer
foreign exchange rates and during the
middle OF the morning active months
sold about 16 to 20 points above Fri
days best level, but realizing continued
and the market became easier.
Bullish sentiment was strengthened
by large spot business officially reported
In leading Southern markets late on
Friday. Reports that some Southern
shippers short OF high grade. cotton for
September shipment had been forced to
ask mills for extension OF time In MAX
ing deliveries were circulated yesterday
morning. The scarcity Of high grade
cotton in early receipts Is making
very bullish impression on sentiment
and predictions of a decided lull In spot
demand after filling Of September en-.
gagements are now less frequently heard
around the ring.

COTTON GOODS REVIEW.

Gray cotton goods markets were ac-
tive last week and prices showed steady

are again selling at or above last year

ing for print cloth and sheeting deliv-
cries into next year has been done, but
most of the trading has been in spots

year.
Resistance to price advances is more
marked. and where mills demanded
sharp advances on late contracts some
large buyers withdrew their orders.
Colored cottons and many of the branded
lines of merchandise. sold through Job
bing trades. did not recede In price much
when more speculative merchandise de-
clined and they are now holding very

CORN MARKET is
FIRM ONCE MORE
Prices, Go as High as 3 to 8 IL
Cents and Close Near
Top Point.

The corn market was strong yesterday
as a result OF firmness in hogs, steadi-
ness in foreign exchange, oversold condi-
tion Of distant months and more favor
able Industrial outlook. Prices were up
8 to sk cents at the high point and near
the top at the close. Offerings continued
light. Evening uU was q prominent
feature. as II always Is IN a half holiday
market Another big factor In the rise
was the announcement that Attorney
General Palmer had ruled that food
stored by packers was not to be consid-
cred boarded. This encouraged longs to
buy and pid<up the price. as they saw In
that statement the fact that the Govern
nent would not use ultra radical meas
ures In reducing the cost OF living. Hogs
showed an advance Of 25 to 30 points
and became again a prominent support
Of corn. The strike outlook t9 much
better despite the fact that the Bethle-
hem workers threaten to go out En-
ployees Of the United States Steel Cor
poration are returning and the danger
mark has long since been passed. II Is

West Salem, o., Jan 30, 1919. Mr.
John D. Babbage, Cloverport, Ky.
Dear Sir: 1t is a singular coincid-
ence that the same issue of your pap
er should mention the retirement of
Mr. A. B. Skillman and the death of
Mr. W. H. Bowmer. These two men
reach farther back into the business
life of Cloverport than any who re-
main. 1t may be that | have reached
the reminiscent age. These two an
nouncements have turned the current
OF my thoughts back into a region,
well known to some who now live in
Cloverport When walked two miles
into Cloverport, over the worst mud
in the world, before the pike to Hard
insburg was built, it was a great
town. And there were giants in those
days When my mother told me to
to bow in greeting when | met any
one on the road, | said | did not
know how to do it. She said, "You
watch Hayden Webb or Colonel Muir
ray bow to some one, and do it that
way" / remember very we'll meeting
Mr.. Webb on the road soon after that
and watching carefully how he made
a bow | might have more friends to
day if l had been more careful to
initiate that graceful salutation.

There was no school building in the
town. | attended the schools taught
by Mr.. Vineyard and Mr.. Exall in

and Post Office are now located.
suppose there were not as many peo-
pie living in Cloverport as there are
now, but relatively it was more inn
portant business center, because it
drew from a larger territory. There
was no railroad nearer than Leitch-
field. Dick May and Mr.. Powers and
others made business of hauling to
and from Hardinsburg. After the pike
was built, and | helped my grandfath-
er, Ben Bates, keep the toll gate,
those huge wagons would take great
loads of goods to Hardinsburg, and
haul in tobacco, two and three and
even four hogsheads at a time, with
four or six mules.

Arrived At His New Home
In The Land OF Flowers.
Snmmer6eld. Fla, Jan. 20, 1919.
Dear Brother John: Will write you
few lines to tell all our friends we
have finished big journey and land
ed here.
We left Cloverport on the 9th Of
January, stayed over in Louisville UNI
til Tuesday and at $3.50 a. m. boarded
an L. & N. train for Jacksonville.
For time we passed through some
good country by Lebanon and Stan
ford. Shortly we ran into some very
rough country passing through sew
eral tunnels, but none quite long en-
ough TO allow fellow to change
shirts.
About 8 p. m. we reached Corbin.

Now Bro. John, will tell you "a

good hard roads and some sand roads
good hard roads and same sand roads
The principal crops are cotton, cas-
tor beans, velvet beans, stock peas,
sweet potatoes, Irish potatoes, cab
bage, onions and other vegetables.
There are some orange groves here
but they get frosted sometimes, We
have visited one of the largest groves
in Florida, it is $50 acres on the shore
of Lake Weir, miles East of here.
1t was quite sight for us to see
those black boys climbing all kinds
of ladders clipping the oranges with
hand clippers, never pull them off.
Then we went to the packing houses
and saw the fruit all washed, dried
graded and boxed for shipment. The
building is right on the edge of the
lake which is about miles long and
2 to 4 miles wide. The fruit is boated
across to railroad The boss, Mr..
Carney, was very nice and gave. us
all the fruit we wanted to gather off
the ground. You bet we got bushel
OF oranges and grapefruit.

since we came. The nights are cool

chatter of the red headed Wood Peck

many other birds that we have back
in Kentucky, so you can imagine it
seems like home.
