PRICES OF COTTON
GAIN EXCITEDLY
Lower Ocean Rates and Signs
of Better Export Situation
Start Advances.

The easier ocean freight situation and
the expectation OF an Improvement in
exports OF raw cotton and goods seemed
completely to overshadow the unsettled
labor situation and led to excited ad-
vance in the cotton market yesterday.
March contracts scored the full maxi
mum movement permitted for any one
day, selling at 1896 or $40 a bale above
the closing figure OF Monday. and the
market closed at about the best points
Of the day with strong tone at a net
advance Of 100 to zoo points.
While 1t was realized that big reduc-
tons announced In ocean freight rates
by British and Washington did not apply
to raw cotton the impression evidently
prevailed that II could be only a short
time before staple would be Included
This probably explained the opening ad-
vance Of IS to SO points. The market
continued to improve during the first
hour on heavy Liverpool buying and
covering Reactions OF 20 or % points
were followed by a sharp advance on
reports that the United States Shipping
Board had decided to reduce cotton rates
to sl.25 from south Atlantic parts,
There was active covering on the ad-
vance. which seemed TO attract fresh
long buying. The market reached the
best levels Of the day In late trading

Shipments From Atlantic
and Gulf Ports.

IN the sweeping cut in rates for trans

Gulf ports from $3.50 bale to $3.50 a
bale. effective Immediately.
A big increase In shipping business
Is reported as the immediate result of
the radical cut In rates announced Mon
day. Tremendous stores Of America n
manufactured goods were said to have
been held in warehouses on this side
OF the water in anticipation Of such n
reduction and they are being fast re-
leased for shipment Among the many
articles which now may be disposed Of
IN Europe at reasonable prices by reason
OF the rate cut are lubricating oils. hard
ware, patented instruments, tools, canned
goods. &c.
Prior to the receipt OF the announce
nent from Washington that the rates
on cotton shipments had been reduced
Alfred E Clegg. Assistant Director OF
Operations of the United States Ship
ping Board said:
There is no doubt that the rate on
cotton VIII be cut In keeping with the
reduction on other transatlantic freight
IL seems only fair that II should be. or
course. the present shipping rates on
cotton were fSed in conjunction with
the British Ministry OF Shipping to be
enective In February. The object Is to
keep the market steady"

CORN CLOSES UNSETTLED.
Reports That February Hog Values
Not to BE Lowered Boosts Prices.

CHICAGO, Jan. as.-Correct anticipa-
ton that the February minimum daily
average price Of hogs would not be re-
duced from the January level brought
about radical upturns to-day in the
value Of corn. The market closed un-
settled. 2 to a. net higher with May
1874 to 1917 and July 1leA to
1867.
Although formal action as TO the hog
price minimum had not been taken at
Washington while the board OF trade
here was in session. the great majority
of dealers expected the old figure to be
maintained and they loaded up with
corn. Much OF the demand represented
covering by shorts. but there was also
considerable investment buying Mean
time, II was conceded on all sides that
the market OF late had been depressed
far below the January hog basis as
we'll as to a point at which Argentine
corn was no longer cheap. The bulge
that resulted sent til market up g "
cents IN some cases. owing to delay
OF the Washington conference in reach
ing settlement the extreme advance
was not all held

The Pleasures of Travel.

"Wa-al-p'tu-no," said the ancient
Arkansawyer, 81 hain't never did much
of what you'd call travelling. 1 was 81
years old last grass born and raised
right here in Shagbark township, and
hain't been outside of the county but
once. That was when I was about 80
years old. I went over to Torpidville,
and they just nacher'ly took and start
ed to lynch me the minute 1 got to
town, for something or nuther, l never
did find out what. One foot was al
ready in the air and the other barely
touching the ground when some Teller
came running and hollered that they
were making a mistake-I wasn't the
guilty party a-tall. AS soon as they
turned me bose lit out for home as
the crow flies, and I hain't done no
travelling to speak of since. I always
figgered that on the next occasion the
Teller that knowed it was a mistake
might not get there in time to do me
any good."-Judge.

BLIND MAN POULTRY FANCIER
Missourian Has Made Success of the
Work, Despite Handicap Wrich
Would Seem Insurmountable.

Blind Edward Jones of Jefferson
City, No, has made a record in keep
ing poultry which many who have
eyes have not equaled. Moving among
his birds, which seem to understand
how he is handicapped, and guided
only by his sense of touch, he per-
forms his daily work. He has built
his own poultry house and brood
coops, and has Matched and raised all
his chicks. Blindness does not pre-
vent him from culling his flock. The
birds not intended to be kept are mar
keted as broiIers, and the others are
kept for the production of winter
eggs.
Mr.. Jones attended every poultry
meeting held in his section last fall.
He is now trying to organize a poultry
club for bird people, and the home
demonstration agent in the county
has volunteered to read to the mem
bers the publications on poultry sent
from the United States department of
agriculture.
