Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter

New York. June A.-Although Liver pool was sharply better than due this morning. our market failed to advance, as the same interests who were heavy sellers yesterday continued to liquidate today. When the 32-cent level was struck stop orders were encountered, quickly breaking the market to 31 .65c for October, at which point local interests. together with good trade buying caused sharp rally. Weather throughout the belt con tinues unfavorable, heavy rains having fallen in the cotton belt and upper Mis- sissippi valley. As the government re- port will be made up as of tomorrow. 1t Is felt that this will be bullish and con- sequently no decline of moment is looked for before the publication of this report. Tho technical position of the market is much stronger through the liquidation which has taken place.-Hubbard Bros. & Co.

SHARP REACTIONS
 INFLEECY STAPLE
 DURING THE DAY
General List Closed Steady At a Net Decline of 3 to 15 Points Under
 Monday
By Associated Pres.

New York, June 24-An early advance in the cotton market was followed by l sharp reactions which were taken in some quarters as indicating that the bullish view of peace had been pretty we'll discounted. There was continued nervousness over the new crop outlook however. while reports from the goods trade were bullish and after selling off from S2.6 to 31.72.
 October closed at s2 s2 with the genera, list closing steady at net decline of to 15 points.
 The market opened steady at an ad- vance of 10 to Is points and sold about Is to 26 points net higher during the early trading on higher Liverpool cables and reports that the Lancashire strike had been settled. July was relatively firm, ,-~selling at 32.T6 on covering and some trade Buying against sales Of Oc- tober which was supposed to indicate that comparatively few notices would be issued tomorrow. There also seemed to be some southern buying of new crop months, but offerings increased on the advance and the market was unsettled during the midc1e of the day by rumors of political developments in Germany which might possibly delay the signing of the peace treaty. There was also nervousness over the heavy tone or the stock market and talk of higher money and there was considerable Wall street selling on the break which uncovered stop-orders. Houses with Japanese con nections were among the sellers of Oc- .ober but after the stop orders had been executed, prices firmed up on covering and trade buying which may have been promoted by the continued bullisn charac- ter of private crop advices. People here from the Carolinas and Georgia said the rains were not unfavorable in their sec ton but generally speaking the weather man made a bullish impression on sen timent. Lancashire mill operatives have been granted a 4S-hour week and an m crease of 30 per cent in wages and are expected to return to work

Clements Letter

Chicago June c4-SellinK of corn was general. following the recent successive advance in price. The market had got ten heavy and as the trading element had ignored the inc1Rsed visible in the previous session, 1t w& brought to bear ish attitude by the sid ness of the cash market and the low4r prices. Profit taking was prominent in the early part of the session. and stop loss orders brought the final decline The market showed losses running from to 3%c. Country shipments are growing less and In preparation, movement of the new wheat crop the prospect of very small corn movement this summer will bring buying of an investment character on this decline.
 Oats were weaker than for sometime. the cash market was dull. the primary receipts for two days were under last week, but the shipments being only half as much developed heavy tone in the trade interests and this spread to the speculative element, despite the fact that reports of the new crop deterioratins were more plentiful than Tor sometime Clement, Curtis Co.

SCHOOLS OPEN MONDAY

The Board OF Education has
arranged for the opening Of all
departments Of the schools on
Monday. January 27.
Superintendent Momycr has
announced that all classes will
begin where the work closed In
October and will continue to
the close Of the first semester
at a date to be determined ac-
cording to the progress made
and the amount Of elimination
Of non-essentials that can be
made. The entire school
course Of study will be put
under the knife. and will be
cut down to such essentials
rs are absolutely necessary in
order to reach the minimum
standards required for compile
ton of the work. He feels that
such elimination is more prac-
teal and more to be desired
than cramming, or over hours
or excessive burdens for stu
dents under present conditions
Of health in the community.
BY aiming to reach minimum
essentials only. the schools will
clear the way for a fine spirit
Of work, and effort, and Of con.
fidence on the part Of both
pupils and teachers. The date
Of closing Of the semester and
Of the final school term must
be undecided at present and
will depend upon the amount
Of elimination that can be pro-
fitably made upon the energy
and faithfulness shown by
teachers and pupils in crowd
ing the issue every day of
school.
New students, including
children who will be six years
old this month may enroll at
the superintendent's office in
che Grand Hotel.

The Monte Vista journal., 1919-01-25
COUNTY COURT HOUSE SHOULD Be LOCATED
NEAR CENTER OF POPULATION AND NOT
BE MADE A FOOTHILLS SUMMER RESORT

? Someone has revived the
question Of moving the court
house" and the matter Is re-
ceiving considerable agitation
in this end Of the county at the
present time.
On former occasions, the
reasons for having the court
house in Monte Vista have been
amply and fully set forth. the
justice Of the proposed proceed
ure acknowledged and then for
some reason - abandoned.
Now, however. the people of
the east end Of the county seem
determined that the county
court house should rest nearer
the center Of population and
nearer the center Of wealth,
and they insist that It must be
done.
The Del Norte court house
building has fallen into a sad
state Of decay and dilapida-
ton, and for a very good rea-
son. too,-it's worn out. To re-
pair 1t and place it in q condi-
ton fit for occupancy and as a
credit to the county would en-
tail a prohibitive expense. Does
the east end Of Rio Grande
county want to build q new
court house for Del Norte?
Del Norte's answer to the
proposal to take away their
court house has been, "The tax
payers won't stand for it."
Well, the majority Of the tax
payers live in the Monte Vista
district, and we believe they
view it as a matter of business.
AS a matter of fact, Monte
Vista has been sleeping on her
rights. She should right now
be enjoying the immense bene-
fits to her business interests
and to her citizens by the pos
session of the county court
house, a county high school
and a system of good roads
leading into the town from
every direction.
1t is bound to come!
