MINIMUM ON HOGS A GRAIN PIT FEATURE
Oats Quiet and Trading Was Within a Narrow Range. Provisions in Sympathy
 With Corn

Chicago. January 1S.-Doubt as to whether the current minimum value for hogs, $17.'5O, would be maintained in February had considerable to do with making the corn market today average lower. Prices closed unsettled at the same as yesterdays finish to 1 F c down with February s1.SS @1.S3A and May s1.2Sss 41.2S1A Oats closed A off to kc up and provisions unchanged to 17c lower. /
 Reports that the conference to fix the February price of hogs had been postponed until January 2S tended to emphasize misgivings in regard to the duration of the present standard. Inas- much as the feeding value of corn has been one of the chief bullish factors, the possibility of reducation in the government hog price outweighed all other influences affecting corn. Week. end evening-up by shorts resulted therefore, in only temporary bulges. notwithstanding country offerings were light.
 Oats were quiet and kept within a narrow range.
 Provisions depended on the same con- ditions as grain.

New York Futures
New Orleans Cotton

New Orleans, January 1S.-It was small but steady cotton market today, with rapid and irregular fluctuations both above and below the level of yesterdays close within moderate linn its. Week lend covering by the short interest furnished the greater part of the demand, although fresh selling was in evidence on all the hard spots. A small demand for long account was created by the continued bullish tone of accounts from the interior concern ing spot holders and preparations for new crop. In the early trading prices were 19 to P points up, from which they fell to a level 13 to l9 points under the close of yesterday. Suhse- quent rises and falls were within these limits.~ Last prices showed net de- cline of 1 to points.
 Reports of withdrawals of standard lines of cotton goods caused much com ment, with the trade inclined to place a favorable construction on the move. Interior spot stated that spot holders were storing at compress points and even at the ports and that the continued wet weather was having the effect Of making seriously backyard farm work connected with the crop to come.

Over Stewards Wire

New Orleans, January 1s.-Cables attribute in yesterdays easiness in Liverpool to the expectation of q lower export cost; also there are per- sistent runIors of results to come from appeals to the government for an early practical adjustment of freight rates. Dry goods reports indicate a broaden ing demand, saying fruit of loom cot tons were withdrawn, no more being offered at 21 cents. the recently re- duced price.
 Spot quotations. while somewhat re- duced, reflect no actual weakness. The reduction in our quotation yesterday was on some small sales and has turn ed feeling rather in favor of the mar ket than against it, because it is felt that any move to bring futures and spots closer in line will lessen antag- onism in the market the situation healthier generally.
 The market opened about 10 points higher, but after a short period of waiting. the usual Saturday apathy in trading told and invited scalping sell- ing. with the result that prices reacted about 30 points. However. there is no mistaking the better undertone generally. Although quiet, the mar ket rallied to opening figures and showed a good undertone. There is more feeling that. barring unfavor- able news, the chances are in favor of better market next week.

Cotton Goods Review

New York, January 1S.--Prices on cot ton goods were reduced very materially during the week and there has been moro active buying Print cloths fell off from Sc to 7c per pound, and bleached cottons were reduced from G to ec a yard. Wide sbcetings were reduced 12lz per cent and irregular revisions were made in several lines of tickings. quilts. towels. damasks. etc. Prices named or cotton blankets showed advances ranging from 711 to 10 per cent, the list issued in December of 1917, but a decline from the government price lists of last September.
 While buyers gre still greatly unsettled, some of the prices were manifestly close to cost and purchases were made with more freedom than has been seen for sometime.
 Reports from producing centers state that curtailment of work is increasing, owing to the lack of orders to take the place of government business discon- tinred. Tn order to meet the difficult con- ditions jo5bers are asking selling agents to guarantee prices for fall and this is being done in some instances. There has been some increase in the and it was reported during the week that government bureaus are selling some of their surplus for relief purposes abroad. Prices follow: Print cloths, 2S-inch 64xs4s, sc; 64x60s, SNc: ssh-inch 64xs4s, 12c; brown sheetings. southern standards, 1S1zc; denims. 22c; southern indigo, 35c; tickings, ounces. 35c; prints. 19hc; sta pie ginghaps. lskc; dress ginghams. 22 @24c.

a material increase in same after March l, when the British government will release British ships to owners except those engaged in war service, There is also the assistance of lower ocean freight rates next month when the rate will be on the basis of about SPA per bale for density cotton against $30 per bale this month. which is like ly to stimplate the demand for for- eign account at a time when 1t was slack last year.
 For the first time in a long while spinners of the world took more Amer ican cotton the past week than last year-274, 900 against 41.000--and as the Liverpool stock afloat is now larg- CT than one year ago, for the first time this season. takings are likely to make a better showing in the future owing to the increasing stocks abroad. especially in England, and it is proba- ble that British mills may be permit ted to increase their active spindles in the future as a consequence, which would increase consumption. Compar- ed with last year and year before last, the worlds visible supply of Ameri- can cotton yesterday was 3,4S7,0oo bales against 3,1S7,000 and 4,3o2,o00, of which 2.725,000 was in the United States against 2.416,000 and 2,576,000 in Europe and afloat ,000 against 771,- 900 ahd 1.726,o0o.

Pershing's West Point Days


 The proudest days of my life, with one exception, have come to me in con- nectfon with West Point-days that stand out clear and distinct from all others. The first of these was the day I won my appointment at Trenton, Mo-, in a com petitive examination with F competitors. An old friend of the family happened to be in Trenton that day and, passing me on the other side of the street, called to me and said: John, l hear you passed with flying colors.' In all seriousness feeling the great importance of my suc- cess. I naively replied in a loud voice, Yes, I did, feeling assured that no one had ever quite passed such a fine ex- animation as I had. The next red-let- ter day was when I was elected presi- dent of the class of S6. l didn't know much about class presidents until the evening of our meeting to effect a class organization, To realize that body Of men for whom had such. an affectionate regard should honor me in this way was about all my equilibrium would stand. Another important day was when made a cold max in Phil at June examination, under dear old Pete, with Arthur Murray as instructor This was the only max I ever made in anything I fairly floated out of the library and back to barracks. The climax of days came when the makes were read out on graduation day In June 1885. Little Eddie Gayle smiled when 1 reported five minutes later with pair of captains chevrons pinned on my sleeves. No honor can ever come to equal that. l look upon it in the very same light today as l did then. Some way these days stand out and the recol- lection of them has always been to me a great spur and stimilus.'
 Extract from a letter written by Gen eral Pershing in 1911. and read at the class reunion commemorating the 18th anniversary of graduation.

GERMANS HAVE BIG TASK IN ELECTION
Necessary to Register Forty Million Men and Women for Elections
 January 19
By Associated Press

by ASt0otatdo Tfoss
 Behlin. December 12.-Forty million voters. men and women, must be reg istered for the election of a national assembly in Germany on January l9. it is estimated by Professor Hugo Preuss. minister of the interior. In the last reichstag election the voters. all male. numbered only 14,o00.000 he says. They were scattered over 397 election districts. The new election bill pro- vides for only 3S such districts for the whole country which. Professor Preuss adds, means more than a million voters in each district.
 Professor Preuss is one of the few prominent leaders of the progressive burgeoise who was given an important post in the provisional government. In an interview with correspondent or the Associated Press he pointed out the technical difficulties in the way of organizing 40. 0.ooo. 900 voters in, time for the election and added:
 ''The constituent assembly should be thoroughly representative and It's mandate above suspicion. We there fore are proceeding with great caution. The new suffrage franchise which Will be tried out at the coming election IS based on direct. equal. secret ballot for all males and females of 20 years and over. We are now engaged in is- suing writs for the election for which fully 100000 men and women will qualify. A
 "Ope of the principal details of the radical reconstruction of our voting system is the original compilation of a list of the qualified women voters. Then the work of cataloguing the mil- lions of returning soldiers that are taking up now residences is also con- tributing heavily to the task of or ganizing the election.
 "Our aim is to make this popular expression of the new democracy thoroughly. representative and com prehensive."

Conquest of Typhoid Fever

Mai w. w. Keen, in the Yale Review.
 Wonderful achievement in medicine comparable with the victory over 'tetanus is the conquest of typhoid fever. Typhoid fever has been one of the his- toric pestiIences of armies. The discov
 cry in 1880 of the germ which caused it was one of the very earliest achieve ments of the bacteriologists. Yet even in 1898 when published book on the Surgical Complications and Sequels of Typhoid Fever" so little was positively known about it that had to assemble proofs that the typhoid bacillus could reach the blood stream. that it could cause abcesses in bones and muscles, could cause gangrene of the tissues and even of whole limbs, infections of the gall bladder and many other surgi- cal disorders. In that same year in the war with Spain we learned a fearful lesson of what it could do. Every fifth man in our army of 107,000 was at- tao1ped with typhoid. It caused over S6 per cent of all the deaths in that war. Had the same ratio held in the British army of over 5000 900 in the world war there would have been more than 1,000.- 900 cases of typhiod. Instead-6f that. down to November, 1918, there had been
 only 4571 cases! In our own army on the Mexican border in 1916. among 20.-
 900 troops. only one man fell i'll with typhoid, although it was prevalent in nearby towns, In our present army, from September 2. 1917. to January 25. 1918, with daily average of 742.G25 men assembled from all over the coun- try, often from places where autumnai typhoid was taking it's annual toll of lives. only 119 cases of typhoid oc- cured. Had the 1898 rate prevailed there would have been 144.5es cases. As soon <as all these recruits were pro- .tected by vaccination, the case rate fell so rapidly that in theN17 weeks from December z..ls17. to April 5. 1s1s-

PROFESSIONAL WERE RATHER AGGRESSIVE.
Dealings Were Fairly Large But There Was Unsettle- ment in Attendance
 At All Times.
By Associated Press

New York, January 1S.-Unsettlement attended the fairly large dealings in stocks during today's abbreviated ses- sion, professional traders resuming their attacks against the susceptible issues,
 Conspicuous among the latter were oils. Mexican Petroleum losing 611 points and others l to PIE. Motors, tobaccos, equip ments and the steel group also yielded to 3 points.
 Selling of United States Steel was the outstanding feature of the final hour, blocks of 1000 to $500 shares changing hands at 90, the lowest quotations since the signing of the armistice and within 91E points of it's minimum of 19S
 Shippings and coppers ,so fell back an average of a point with such invest ment rails as Reading and Louisville and Nashville, but distilling shares reversed their course, showing moderate strength. Among the more important stocks final prices were mostly at lowest levels.
 News bearing upon financial matters included the weekly statements of mer- cantile agencies, which reported activity in retail lines and more wholesome con ditions at jobbers' distributing points
 The bank statement threw little light on recent cash transfers, actual loans showing only moderate expansion, with an increase of $S,0oo0OO in excess re- serves.
 Bonds eased slightly at the end, inter nationals displaying irregularity. Total sales par value, aggregated s4,loO,OO0.
 Old United States coupon and registered 2s lost F per cent on call during the week, the registered As declining 1A per cent.
 Final prices on Liberty bonds today were: 31ks, 1920; first convertible As, e402; second 4s, 93s6; first convertible 4As, 96.1O; second convertible 4As, 30; third AS 96; fourth 44s, 95.02.

STAPLE WAS ;.
 NOT 50 VERY ACTIVE
General List Closed Steady, Net 6 Points Higher to Points Lower Than
 Friday.
tRx Assoeiated Prea

New York, January 1s,-The cotton mar ket was less active today and fluctua- tions were irregular with March con- tracts selling off from 2512c to A.7sc and closing at 24.scc, compared with 25c at the close of yesterday. The general list opened steady, net 15 points higher to 10 points flower and closed very steady net points higher to 10 points lower.
 Near months were relatively firm at the start on covering and after the unsettled opening, prices stiffened up few points, with May selling at 2S,74c and July at p soc, and with the general list showing net advances of $ to b points. There was no active or aggressive demand. how ever, while bearish sentiment seemed to find encouragement in the weekend re- views of the goods situation and the market soon turned easier under liauida- tion and a renewal of scattering pres- sure May sold otf to 23.30c and July to 22.&c, making net declines of about 20 to 2S points, but at this level the mar ket steadied on covering for over the weekend and there were rallies in the later trading. May closed at 23.65c and July at 22.o2c.
 Southern advices indicated continued firmness on the part of holders in the interior, but also reported an absence of any important demand and trading here was considered chiefly local Some of the reports from the goods trade in- dicated good prospects for business this spring, but mill curtailment was said to be be~increasing in some centers.
 Manchester cables said goods buyers were very cautious and that inquiries from India and China were too low to result in immediate business. A report was circulating that the French com mission would cease buying after tho first of April leaying any further re- q,rements to be supplied by purchases through ordinary trade channels.
