NEW YORK COTTON

NEW YORK. Dec, 10.-The uncer-
taintles Of the coal situation and con-
tinued weakness Of foreign exchange
had an unsettling but restricting effect
on business In the cotton market dur
ing today's early trading. The opening
was barely steady at an advance of 20
points on December, but generally I'M
changed to q points lower with Janu-
AIRY selling at $3.50 and May at 81. II

of May and July, but bought January
and there was a moderate demand
from trade sources which caused rallies
Of Is or 20 points before the end Of the
first hour.
The bad weather in the South and re-
ports that government officials were
hopeful of a settlement Of the, coal con
troversy today helped to steady the
market later in the morning. January
sold up to 36.95c and May to 32.52c or II
to 81 points net higher, but there was
no increase In the volume of business
and the market was very quiet at mid
day
This is the sixth consecutive month
to show an increase. The figures on
Oct 81 were 6,472,66S, and on Sept,
30, 1884, 69S. There was nothing in
the statement of the company to indi-
cate what percentage of the untitled
tonnage was the result of the strike in
its plants.
Trading continued very quiet during
the early afternoon with prices ruling
around IS $50 for January and 50 43C for
May, or about 10 to IS points net higher

A Year for Reconstruction.

1t was impossible last night not to feel
the immense difference in the spirit with
which the new year was celebrated las
compared with a year ago. Then the
gayety was forced, and though but
small part Of the army had yet gone
abroad, the thoughts'of all were with the
absent. Now a much greater number Of
our soldiers are overseas, and, of course,
they are greatly missed, but their alb
sence now is but a holiday with no
cause for anxiety, while the homeward
streaming men are rapidly filling the SO
cial gaps and giving life new zest. 1t
was forward-Iooking festival; the war
is done, America has played its part
handsomely, now for the work of peace.
Great as may be the problems still left
over there, the burden has been taken
from the shoulders of the fighting men
and left with the statesmen The first
concern of the released soldiers is with
their own problems, and it is good to see
that they begin the new year with char
acteristic American optimism. Not all
will go on from where they left of. Null
titudes in the school Of war have discov-
cred in themselves new tastes, new apti-
tudes and viii seek new jobs to CORE
spond. To many also the experience has
given new self-confidence and a mature
character; they entered the army boys
and leave it men. On all it has put
stamp which in turn will be impressed
upon the nation, perhaps in many ways
to its benefit. The taste of discipline will
promote team work, new standards of eff
ficency will be taken back to the slack
est of backwater communities and it is
not likely that any false notions of mill
tary glory will survive the war On. the
contrary. the eagerness of the returning
soldiers to settle down to the work of
civil life is notable and gratifying.
They will find plenty to do in the year
to come, for whatever difficulties of read
iustment may attend rehabilitation and
the reorganization of industry, there are
great arrears of work TO make up, and
willing hands win be needed. The world
has long been underfed, undersupplied
with necessary or useful things of many
kinds. 1t has lost a still uncounted mum
Der of millions of men from the ranks of
industry, and its capital wealth has been
greatly depleted. Only by hard work
can these great losses be made good, and
for workers of capacity and energy there
will be a great place in the time of re-
construction to come America greets
the the new year with confident hopes
