A DIAGNOSIS.

"Oh, DOCTOR" said worried looking
agrarian, 'My wife is in an awful con-
dition From a medium fat woman she
has been reduced to skin and bones.
She talks necessarily in loud squawk-
ing voice, begins a sentence and never
finishes it, and jumps from subject to
subject without uttering anything that
has the least sense to it."
"H'm! I see" returned the physi-
cion. "Go home, Mr.. Gabbleby, and take
out your party line telephone at once.
Your wife has been listening in on it
too much."-Kansas City Star.

COTTON NERVOUS ON
 VARIOUS OUTLOOKS BUT CLOSED STRONG
General List Closed Steady at a Net Advance of~15 to 39 Points Over
 Tuesdays Finals
Rs Assscsxrea rrs..

New York, December 7.-Yesterday' s big advance was followed by very ir- regular fluctuations in the cotton market today. Renewed uncertainty regarding ex- change rates and a feeling that the tech nical position of the market had weak ened led to rather aggressive selling late in the morning. January broke from 37 to 36. .45 ccnts or s points below last night g closing quotation, but there was renewed support later and the price rallied to g. 15e or 8 points nt higher, and closed at 3699c The general list closed steady at & net advance of 15 to g points.
 The market opened barely steady at an advance of to r. points on present crop months, but points lower on October and soon sold some 15 to 2S points net lower under realizing, and reselling by some or the local traders who had covered short contracts on the advance of yesterday. Liverpool was good buyer on this break, however, and the market soon firmed up owing to the early strength of foreign ex- change and the firm stock market. Active months sold about 10 to 13 points net higher before the end of the first hour, but Liverpool withdrew it's buying orders on the advance and turned a seller. This was regarded in some circles here as in dicatng a belief in the English trade that advances in sterling would not be main tained and that differences between the two markets would again widen. There was renewed pressure in consequence. with March selling off to 34.2oc, and May to g. 35c or 20 to 42 points net lower. These prices seemed to attract renewal Of pull support and covering, and notwithstand- ing the easier late ruling of exchange, prices advances to 35.07c for March and 32. .s5c for May in the later trading.

RALLY IN EXCHANGE MOST NOTEWORTHY
 FINANCIAL FACTOR
Call Loans We're in Freer Supply at z Per Cent Than at Any Recent
 Period
By Associated Pr.,.

New York, December I7.-Of the several developments which contributed to the Irregular strength of today's stock mar AKet, the most noteworthy and important in its potential value was the movement of British exchange
 Bills on London continued to rally to the point where they cancelled the greater part of the recent severe decline, thereby strengthening the impression in many quarters that steps are really being taken to negotiate large international credits
 The reviews Of steel and iron industrial conditions were favorable, including higher price schedules for fabricated products. These were supplemented by advances in quotations for fuel oil and virtual consummation of large contracts, foreign and domestic for railway equip ment
 Call loans were in freer supply at per cent than at any recent period, interior banks offering round amounts at that rate and later at per cent. Time money ruled firm, however, eager bids of per cent for two and three months eiiciting little response.
 In it's surface aspects the stock market covered the ground of the previous ses- sion. Bull pools added to the discontinue of the shorts in oils, motors, steels ana equipments, in which group gains of to slightly over 10 points were made.
 Shippings, tohaccos, textiles, copners and feathers helped to sustain the ad- svance with miscellaneous issues, inciud- ing chemical shares, at extreme gains ot i to points. The one division to hold back was the rails, which moved within a very narrow radius, hardening slightly at the firm close.
 Moderate improvement in the year-enc investment situation was reported by banks and bond dealers. The open mar ket on the exchange failed to reflect this condition, asTtte from a slight rally in Liberty bonds ard several of the interna- tional issues E'ntal ~ales (par value) az gregated s2s,75o,@0 Old U. s. bonds were unchanged on call.

New Orleans Cotton

New Orleans, December r. Price changes were rapid and nervous in cotton today, but on the whole values were well main tained, mainly on the strength derived from better rates in foreign exchange. Several times in the afternoon the mar ket bulged in response to reported bulges in sterling exchange. Tn the early trad ing there was less strength on display and prices were several times carried off below the level of yesterdays close. Early selling was due to poor cables, and later on offerings appeared to come from longs who wanted to even up. At the lowest the trading months were at net declines of 19 to 43 points. Late in the day the market stood at net gains of 30 to 40 points, but in the last few minutes of business there were fresh re- sessions. so that the close wat at net advances of only g to 9 points.
 Spots were quoted steady quotations revised. Middling and grades above were unchanged; strict low middling was re- duced 25 points and low middling and grades below were reduced 50 points.
 This made the discount on low mid ding $50 points. Middling was quoted at 4oc, which compared with the closing price on December of 4O.7Oc.

Johnston of the city schools when asked why some 500 children were sent home Monday from the grammar school. The heating plant at this school has been wholly inad- equats and the school authorities feel that it is imposing needless suffering on the children to have them confined in rooms where the temperature is as low as 40, and even % degrees. II is stated that fires begun as early as 4 o'clock in the mornings have failed to drive the chill out of some of the classrooms.
