want More Canned Goods for Shop.
The committee in charge of the
Gift Shop at the Y. w. c. A., which
Kings Daughters of the city are
sponsoring, are asking for more CO.
operation from the various circle
members in the way of donations OF
jellies, jams, pickles and canned
fruits. Each circle member has
been solicited for at least one glass
or jar of goods, and many have
failed to bring these to the shop.
From the beginning the supply has
not been able to accommodate the
demand, and in order to make the
venture success, more donations
will have to be secured. 1t has
been suggested that those who
have already. given their one glass
are asked to bring another, which
will be greatly appreciated by the
committee.
The shop is proving a great sue
cess. All sorts Of dainty and USE

COTTON IMPROVES
AFTER WEAK START
Trading Active at Opening
Liverpool Market Starts
Selling Wave.

NEW YORK, Dec. 29.-There> was
q decided Improvement in the I'M
dertone of the cotton market today
following the establishment of new
low marks for the season on all
months. except January. at the out
set Trading was very active at
the start, with the break rejecting
a continuation of yesterdays SELL
ing movement and LIQUIDATION but
later II tapered off.
Pronounced weakness at Liver
pool. due to a lack of confidence in
financial conditions, started a SELL
ing wave in the local market that
broke initial quotations 20 to SO
points. There was, however, an
excellent demand for investment ac-
count through commission firms,
which. shortly after the call, alb
sorbed the offerings and paved the
way for a sharp upturn that car
'ried quotations about 20 points
above the opening levels.
Aside from great strength in Jam
uary. which impaired frmness to
later deliveries, the market in the
afternoon was without particular
feature. January shorts bid the
price up to 1853, or 81 points above
the previous close. March rose to
1902, an advance OF So points from
yesterdays last price. There were
some recessions from the top in the
nnal trading on profit taking, but
the close was steady at a net ad-
vance Of Z to so points.
spot here was steady with mid
ding SO points higher at 15c. There
were no sales. Spot. at New Or
leans was quiet with middling un-
changed at 1850; the sales were
1851 bales
Receipts Of cotton in bales at
some of the leading points today
were: Galveston. 1897; New Or
leans, 1882; Mobile. 1855; Savan-
nah, 1891; Norfolk. 2.91s: Augusta,
