FIRM MARKET
LATER REACTS
Continuation Of Covering Movement
Steadies Crop But Enlarged Offer
ings Wipe Out Gains.

NEW YORK, Nov. 15.-Liquida-
tion of long contracts and selling by
Liverpool forced a sharp reaction in
cotton today after the market had
exhibited a decidedly firmer under
tone. At the top January showed a
net gain of ~ points from Satur-
days close at 1880 and an advance
of Sc points from the low level OF
Saturday morning. Business in the
pit generally was comparatively
quiet.
The first December notice day
will be November "a.
Although somewhat irregular,
with first prices points lower to
10 points higher, the undertone of
the market was steady early. Near
by months were easier.
The market turned firmer right
after the opening. The lack of
Southern hedge selling suggested
that the holding movement in the
South had become tighter, but the
demand decreased after prices had
risen 35 to 81 points from Satur-
days close, and fluctuations during
the middle of the morning were ir-
regular.
There was a continuation of the
covering movement during the mid
die of the afternoon, and prices
moved to new high levels for-the
session, but toward the close much
of the days gain was. wiped out
when offerings enlarged.
The final undertone was weak,
with prices points net lower to
points net higher.

SHORTS CAUSE
SHARP UPTURN
Export Buying and Light Offerings
Take Slack Out Of
Grain Market.

CHICAGO, Nov. 15.-Shorts in
wheat displayed more uneasiness to-
day than for some time past, and
this was reflected in a sharp upturn
In prices here. Buying by houses
with export connections took the
slack out Of the market early and
during the latter part of the session
offerings were light. Reports of tor
rental rains in parts of TIE Argen-
tine wheat belt also increased the
nervousness of short sellers as well
as reports of 1000, 900 bushels of
wheat taken for export by the con-
tinental countries.
Small receipts here with a further
advance in premiums for red winter
also stimulated some buying as well
as reports of a broader flour de-
mand in the Southwest Other grains
were irregular. -
Resting prices were to SIC
higher for wheat, Il to &c higher
for corn and Y to SC up for oats,
Rye gained 4xc and barley was 11sc
lower.
General sentiment is apparently
more friendly to the buying side of
wheat. principally on account of the
strong position the December is
working into. and because of the
export demand. with European ad-
vices indicating the necessity OF
continued liberal purchases from
this country.
The sudden increase in the re-
ceipts of new corn took the edge
off the spot corn market and in
fiuenced free selling of the futures
Late covering brought prices up.

INHERITANCE TAX LAW

The Supreme Court yesterday up
held a section of the New York
State inheritance tax law.
The section in question provided
that on Inherited securities an extra
tax Of 5 per cent should be levied
unless a special stamp tax or per

The Sentinel calls attention to it's readers in the city of Gre
NADIA to a communication which appears IN anotner column Tn ov-
Cemetery.
A meeting was called over the Grenada Bank on Friday af-
Iternoon of last week by the ladies of the Cemetery Assocla-
ton which was attended by a number OF the men OF Grenada.
The ladies stated that they We're not receiving that cooperation
suficency of funds as well as a number of other seemingly in
surnountable obstacles convinced them that they could no long
er carry on the work of the Cemetery Association and that they
felt it a duty they owed themselves as well as the town to re-
sign.
We are sure that there were only a few of the male population
of Grenada who knew the plight that the Cemetery AssocIa-
ton found itself in. We are sure that only a few knew that
there was an insufficiency of funds and that the ladies had
been so greatly worried about getting work done. But the re-
port made by these ladies shows that they have experienced
no small distress of mind and heart. Their heart and soul has
been in what they have been trying to do.
The Cemetery is close to the hearts of the people of Grenada.
The soil is sacred because the precious dead Of the community
lie buried there. It is sacred because Angels from the Celest-
ial City hover over it and because some Of the sweetest and
most precious memories connected with the lives of Grenada
needs to be done. What must be done at once? To ask the
question in the name of Grenada is but to answer it in the name
of Grenada: Let these ladies know that the whole town is be-
hind them and see that the money is forth coming at once to
make that hallowed ground what it should be. No lecture is
needed. What needs to be done WILL BE DONE and that
without delay.
We wish it were possible for us just to tell how greatly the
town is indebted to the good ladies for all that has been done in
of love with them. Labor conditions have made it impossible
for them to get what was needed to be done there within the
past three years as before and naturally they are discouraged
almost heartbroken. And while mentioning the LADIES' with,
out intending in the least to make invidious distinctions, we feel
that we must say how sacredly, unselhshly and lovingly Mrs.
E. G. Payne has devoted herself to the task of caring for the
Cemetery. For years she was the President OF the Association,
and only her failing health compelled her to decline this pleas
ant duty. She is greatly distressed about the condition of the
Cemetery and the financial condition that confronts those who
have been caring for it.
More money is needed for the Cemetery. 1t will be forth
coming. Just the plan that will be adopted to get the neces-
sary funds and the future management OF caring tor the Gene,
terry are yet to be developed. If drive" is necessary. it should
be had. Most people are tired, and very properly, OF drives
which contemplates the sending of funds way off yonder; but
we do not believe Grenada has any citizen who will not gladly
respond to any demand for the Cemetery.

From now until the bell rings on
the night Of March 18th, the annual
returns covering income for 1919 will
be figured out and filed by citizens
and residents, together with pay
ment of tax due.
The burden OF fulfilling this obi
cation is laid by law squarely on the
shoulders of those who are American
citizens and residents. Every per-
son must determine for himself
whether his net income for 1919, fig
ured according to the Revenue law,
WA sufficient in amount to require a
return.
If he is single, a return is required
if his net income for 1919, was ST.
900 Of over. A widow or widower
is classed as a single person. A mar
or woma living apart from his wife
or husband is also classed as q sim
gle person.
If he was married and living with
his wife on Dec. 31st, a return is
required if his ne: income was $4,000
or over. In his net income he must
include that Of his wife and minor
children, if any.
If a tax is due on his return, he
must make payment with his return.
This payment may be made in whole
or in part of the tax due. At least
lone quarter of the tax must accom-
pany the return.
The filing and paying must be done
before midnight of March 18th, or he
is classed delinquent and is subject
to severe penalties.
Two forms are being distributed
for personal returns. Form 104O-A
is intended for use by a person whose
net income does not exceed $4,000.
A larger form 1O4O, is intended for
each person having income in ex-
cess of $4,000. Both of these forms
are now obtainable at Internal Rev.
enue offices and at some banks. 1t
is urged by the Internal Revenue
Bureau that taxpayers obtain their
blanks at once. Failure to have a
blank form at hand for an eleventh
hour return will not relieve a person
of penalty for failure to comply with
the law. e.
Each form contains instructions for
preparing and filing the return, and
these should be carefully read and
strictly observed.
There is also provided a "work-
sheet" which should be used for max
ing the original computations, and
which should be retained and pre-
served by the taxpayer.
Any person who is in doubt on
points affecting his particular case,
should bring such matters to the at
tention of the nearest Deputy Col
iector of Revenue Agent, who will
render every necessary aid without
charge.
When the return is completed, it
should be properly executed and i'm
mediately filed with the Collector of
Internal Revenue, Austin, Texas. Any
Internal Revenue officer will admin
lister the necessary oath without any
charge.
1t is pointed out that accuracy in
compiling the return is absolutely
necessary. Mere guesses and estl-
mates as to income and deductions
should be avoided, and actual facts
and amounts should be set forth. And
this is equally important in consid-
ering the question of whether a re-
turn is required.

ONE THING THAT THE ~CISLAT MUST DO.

! While the legislature is legislating on important matters we
want that body to make it a felony to pronounce suite
"sweet.". Whenever we find ourselves in company that makes
# necessary to say "sweet," we have a feeling akin to the little
how who was dining out with his mother and dropped his fork.
IF "suite" is "sweet' then what in the deuce is a fellows CIR!
change it. gentlemen of the legislature. 1t is your sacred duty
now that those who do not interest themselves in this very I'M
nortant matter, will find that we shall tell it to the dear peo-
nuhon thew 90 home." You can not defend it gentlemen.
The character Of the real word Sweet is too important to have
Il tarnished by calling "suite" sweet. It must be stopped gen.
+ieman Of the legislature. If you don't believe what we say,
leave it to q referendum. -- ---------
