A LINE o. CHEER
EACH DAY O. THE YEAR
BY John kendrick Bangs.

THE SPEECH DIVINE.
A little son of France, scarce three
years old,
With azure eyes, and looks Of fine
spun gold,
Sprang to my arms. and In my fond
embrace
Smiled like some fairy child of elfin
race.
I could not speak his language, nor
he mine,
And yet we understood the speech
divine
That heart speaks unto heart, and
all that day
In comprehending friendship went
our way.

When Things Go Wrong.

When things go wrong, as they often will,
With the work you have in hand
Just whistle song of cheer until
You can see the work you've planned,
And do your best, however men sneer,
All will be right in the end, my dear

To help what you have in mind,
And do your best, however men sneer,

A second danger no less real than

Weekly Cotton Review

Na,v York. November THE cotton

totion for middling cotton in some OF
| tho southewestern markets has worked
IN m about the Accent level. Predic-
tons for freezing temperatures IN
northern sections of the western peit
did not materialize, but weather con-
ditions otherwise have increased ap-
nrehensions of a high grade shortage,
and there has been large volume OF
business in spot cotton on the advances.
This has led to considerable hedge
selling in futures, but generally, speak

with trade interests among the buyers
and a reaction of approximately a cent
a pound on Thursday was followed by
, rallies at the Nnd of the week. The
uncertainties of the coal strike situa-
ton were emphasized by reports OF an
embargo against supplying bunker coal
to foreign owned vessels. but the set
tlement of the longshoremens strike
had a favorable influence on sentiment.
and. larger clearances have been re-
ported during the past few days.
Liverpool has made a generally firm
showing with private advices report
ing that Manchester spinners who had
failed to secure expected early ship
ments of high grades from the south.
had been forced into the Liverpool mar
ket for their cotton. Two bull:sh pri-
vate crop reports were issued early
in the week, one of them placing the
yield at e.437.000 bales. and the other

Later, however. a report was published
by one of the prominent authorities
estimating the yield at 100000 bales.

Complete official and unofficial re-

suits was confined exclusively to the

ceded by all parties to have been de-
feated by the drys by more than 49,

prohibition also conceded to have been

W. f. Campbell & Co.'s Cotton Letter
me action OF the market today indi-
Gated a waiting affair. pending the Gin
ners report. which comes out on the
opening of the marke. Saturday.
In our opinion the figures will be sur
prisingly large by comparison to last
months. and in all Probability the bears
VIII use same to der-ess prices for the
Tune being: however, any decline of con-
sequence should be taken advantage of
TO buy cotton, because the decline will
only be short-lived. Cur reason for MAX
ing TINS statement is tie continued strong
spot demand at all important spot sen-
ters, with prices at the high of the sea-
son, and should the ginning figures in
difate larger crop than first antcl-
pated the worlds needs will more than
offset same in the course of time.
As indicated above. we anticipate a
further material decline from present
prices because of the overbought cond.-
ton of the market Just at this time, but
we advise our friends to buy it for mich
higher prices eventu=ly.-W. e. Camp
