Florida State Fair?

New Orleans. Dec. 22-Cottcn fu-
lures opened steady.

New Orleans. Dec. 23-The price or
cotton advanced 81 to 81 points in the
first half hour of trading in contracts
today. The tone was very steady as
the result of higher Liverpool mar
lxet than due, the absence of tenders
on January this being the first notice
day for that month, and on reports of
a better spot demand. According to
comment in the spot department sales
were made late yesterday at the high
est basis of the season.
Values were well maintained
throughout the morning session, buy
ing being stimulated by cable mes
sages from Liverpool stating that
India was a large buyer of cloth in
the Manchester market. Offerings
from the long side, in the way of
liquidation over the holidays, were
rather liberal at times, but were well
absorbed and toward noon the market
stood % to 81 points up.
The evening up process on the long.
side continued and finally furnished
the ring with enough contracts to
cause a small sag. At 1 o'clock the
trading months were z to % points
higher than the final prices of yes
terday.
New York Dec 23.-The cotton mar
lzet was higher during today's early
trading owing to a sharp advance in
Liverpool and the continued steadi-
ness of sterling exchange. After open
ing IL to 90 points higher. prices sag
ged off a few points under realizing,
with January selling at 1888 and May
at $3.50 but soon firmed up again on
covering and Liverpool buying.
January advanced to 37.0S and May
to 32.70 or about % to % points above
last nights closing. General business
remained quiet, however. and the bulk
of the buying was attributed to COW
ering.
Trading became a little more active
later in the morning with January SELL
ing up to 37.15 and May to 32.7S or
81 to % points above the low level of
the morning and about 25 to 40 points
above last nights closing figures.
Liverpool was moderate buyer of
January and May while there was a
scattering demand from Wall street
and local sources but some southern
hedge selling developed at the ad-
vance and prices showed reaction of

AN UNWORTHY APPEAL.

In his enthusiastically vitrolic at
tack upon the league of nations cove
nant in the senate, Senator Reed, of
Missouri, takes recourse to an appeal
to race prejudice that was as men
dacious and disgraceful as it was I'M
warranted, inopportune and out of
place.
At any time such an appeal to pas
sion would be untimely and inappro-
pirate, but just now, swhen human
nerves the world over are over
wrought and at high tension, and
when in this country there is a we'll
known undercurrent of mischievous
and insidious racial distrust running,
it is particularly inexcusable.
There are in America jingoes who
are busily engaged night and day in
efforts to array the white against
the yellow race; and there are like
wise e-brands, both white and
black, who are as busily, as insid-
iously and as alphabetically endeav-
oring to create and incite racial pre-
JUDGE and division between the
white and the negro races.
Such utterances as those of Reed,
in the senate Monday, in which he
also made infammatory reference to
the japanese, can serve only as aid
and comfort to those engaged in this
unworthy business.
Fortunately, he speaks neither for
the democratic nor the republican
party; nor has he any appreciate fol-
lowing outside of the 'little group
of willful men" who, through motives
of petty partisanship or personal
spite and pique, are opposing any
thing that President Wilson approves.
