Our business men can 60 a long
way toward suppressing the moon
shine traffic. When a man that they
know has always been poor, or at the
best not very we'll off, begins buying
at a rate they think is beyond his
legitimate means, they should inform
the authorities. No honest man OBJ
jects to other people knowing where
his money comes from. The Star is
reliably informed that the wife of a
colored farmer. who by industry was
enabled to keep his family in COM
fort but not in extragance, has for
the past year or two been buying at a
rate that would make the investments
of some well-to-do white mems wives
look like thirty cents. Her husband
should tell what wealthy relative left
him a legacy. He may have to.

The Star has been told on good au-
tbority that if a man who is known to
be "safe," or one who looks like he is
"safe," goes to our hotels and slips a
bellhop a five-dollar bill, or sometimes
less money, he can get about pint of
the stuff that makes Jersey lightning
look like fresh milk. The proprietors
of the hotels had better look after
their help. A raid would be bad ad-
vcrtisement.

Through the dust on his office
window
He looks on golden day.
Where the low wind drifts through
the naples.
Blown from the depths Of May;
And then with his feet on the table
His soul goes back to dream
Where trout leaps out of the
shadows
And strikes from a mountain stream.
The roar Of the traffic echoes
But he is beyond its sweep,
Where the fly sails over the eddies
To drop where the pool is deep;
To drop as light as shadow
Until with a sudden swing
He knows he has hooked a wonder
As the old reel starts to sing.
There's place. on the trail beyond
him,
A log he remembers still,
Where there's never a. tax collector
And never monthly bill;
Out in the silent places
Where only the mountains wait
As the line sings over the water
And the salmon leaps to its fate.

NEW YORK, Feb. 1.-THE cotton

There was some buying for trade ac-
count and moderate demand from
houses with Liverpool connections, but
there appeared to be a good deal of

renewal of liquidation and Southern and
Wall street selling. May broke TO 80 csc,

months generally showing net losses of

of Southern selling here encouraged
bearish sentiment.

NEW YORK, Feb. ll.-Stocks dropped

as the result Of heavy liquidation.

Heavy enforced selling for account OF
traders who were unable TO meet de-

prices rallied somewhat before noon
when call mney opened at per cent.
Prospects of an extension of the threat

steels led the decline with the usual
specialties. Irregular rallies occurred

COTTON MARKETS
Trade interests Give Support
and Tone Steady-Man-
chester Business Large.
Wednesdav AItarnoon. 40.


More or less strength was displayed
in the market today, in spite Of the
fact that there is a threatened rail
road ueup in this country and the
stock market was quite reactionary be
cause Of it. Cotton for time was
sharply lower in sympathy, but trade
interests gave support and recovery
followed. There was talk of trouble
for the short interest in the nearby
months, for certified stock in New
York is only 1900 bales, while dis
counts of futures under spots made IL
practically impossible to get much pro-
lection from that direction.
g Then, too, advices from Liverpool
Were bullish. The board of trade re-
turns on business in general and es-
peclally in cloths and yarns inspired
buying, for enormous increases were
shown, For January Great Britain's
exports showed gain over the same
month of last year of about &C So, 000, 900
while yarns exported were about so per
cent larger and cloths nearly 100 per
cent larger than last year. This sort
of information did not suggest much
likelihood of that country checking i'm
portation of raw materials, according to
the views of those who were buying.
Liverpool at the finish was irregular,
but near were up as high as 35 points
and the distant down as much as "a.
There was an advance of 80 points in
spots, fully mddling up to 29.79d, with
sales 5000 bales, including 400 Ameri-
can. Receipts were $4,000 bales, but
only 400 were American.
Opening prices on this side were mod
erately better, but some active selling
by few interests sent the list down.
May opened at 32.40c, but it sold off to
3l.99c, one reason being reports of more
liberal importations of cotton and wool
en- goods and easiness in domestic mar
kets as a result. The rail strike news
also was a factor, but it failed to dis
turb those who were absorbing offer
ings and soon the tide turned better.
May recovered and in the afternoon
sold up as high as 32.46c, but more
hesitancy was shown As tomorrow will
be holiday in New York, traders were
evening up, but another factor was the
improved hope of early action on the
peace treaty. There is an idea that
chances are favorable for ratification.
The weather news was not so bad, al e
though some prospect of more rain in
the lower part of Texas inspired little
support. Publication of figures on rain
fall in Texas during January, showing
an average of 400 inches, an excess OF
234 over normal, also gave bulls some
encouragement.
There was little news from the spot
department, but continued absence OF
any anxiety over the period of dull
ness. The census report on January
consumption is due to come Friday
morning and is expected to be bullish

NEW ORLEANS COTTON

NEW ORLEANS, Feb. 1t.-Better
cables than due caused a rise of s to II
points around the opening Of the cot
ton market today, but the unfarorable
railroad labor news caused a quick re-
action SO that at the end of the first
half hour Of trading prices were q to
&c points under the close of yesterday,
March dropping from 3560e TO S5.3lc.
The weather map was wet again and 1t
resulted In enough buying to steady
the market at the decline
At level 81 to 30 points down, the
market met new demand. which was
generally set down TO trade account.
The better feeling in sterling exchange
caused favorable comment and shorts
became nervous over the continued wet
weather in the belt, contributing to the
demand. Late in the morning the mar
ket firmed up rapidly and went 3 to 1
points over the level OF yesterday s
close.
A covering movement of considerable
proportions sprang up among shorts
and the demand put prices IL to 10
points over yesterdays finals IN the
trading up to l o'clock.

Young people must make themselves
efficient and handle their earnings
properly during their productive years
if they are to escape the common lot
of being dependent in old age.
Under normal times the average ed

a year. He works forty years, making
a total of 100000 in life time.
The average day labOrer gets $500
per day in normal times, three hun
dred days in the year, or $4,000 a
year. In forty years he earns $36ooO.
The differences of $4,000 equals the

acquire this earning capacity requires
about five months time or one hun

TELL 1T TO THE EDITOR

Every newspaper editor is deslrous
of printing all the legitimate news
of his subscription field. That is the
object of his paper.
But unfortunately an editor Is
partly human-he at least is mould
ed in human form. He does not pos
sess a dozen pair of hands, or legs,
or eyes, or ears for the collection OF
this vast fund of information.
That is why the editor urges you
to tell him what you know--to KEEP
him informed of the doings OF your
self and family, of your friends, or OF
the community in general.
1t is the only way to make a good
paper-and a good paper is one Oh
the prime requisites to good com
munity in which to live aud do bust
ness.
Tell it to the editor,
He'll tell others--if it is tellable.
