Hubbard Bros. & Co.'S Letter

New York, January 10.-Some calling of cotton sold in the March caused a higher opening this morning, the mar ket advancing until near the BIC level for March, at which figure sufficient hedge selling, from the south appeared to supply the demand. In the last hour report was current that the German government had been over thrown. This brought immediate real izing from local longs. and as the mar ket declined free selling made its ap- pearance, the market acting very hol- low. If this report is true a further decline will take place; if not we should have sharp reaction Monday A prom inent commercial paper states that the dry goods market is beginning to fec the effect of overproduction in the gar ment trade and the necessity of finding an export market for this overproduct Hubbard Bros. & Co.

UNREST IN GERMANY CAUSES 4 SHARP BREAK IN COTTON
General List Closed Easy at
 Net Decline of 43 to 68 Points Under Fridays Final Figures
By Associated Press


 New York, January 1O.-Rumors of un- tsettling developments in Germany were followed by sharp break in the cotton market late this morning Previously prices had shown considerable firmness, with March selling up to 36.97 during the early trading or 2 points net higher, but that position broke to 3605 and closed at 5S.o7 with the general list closing easy at net decline of 4S to 6S points.
 The opening was 9 to 22 points higher on buliish reports from the goods trade, 8 renewal of Liverpool buying and scat tered covering which was doubtless stim- ulated by the early absence of southern hedging. May sold up to B A and July to 33.74 right after the call with active months showing net advances of 15 to 8 points, but these prices attracted in creased realizing and prices eased back to about last nights closing figures dur
 ing the middle of the morning. There was enough scattered buying to steady the market around this level, but liqui- Gation became active later on the un- farovable ruinors' regarding political con- ditions in Germany, with May selling off to 34,52 and July to 32.90, making net de- clines of 43 to 70 points on the active months. Trade interests were credited with buying on a scale down, but sen- timent was very unsettled late in the morning and last prices were at nearly the low yoint on most positions. Reports of sharp advances in some of the leading brands of bleached muslins and fine cambrics were among the fea- 1 lures on the early advance, while there was also buying on the expectation of continued large exports and rather bull 1 ish weekend figures. The amount of cotton reported on shipboard awaiting clearance was 303 eco bales against 156,- GOO last year. There were very few sell I ing orders here from the south early, but offerings from that source appeared as the price of March approached the i S7-cent level on the early advance, and I there was heavy commission house liqui- dation in the late trading.

Sugar Market Bv Associated Press

New York January 10.-The local mar ket for raw sugar was quieter today, and no fresh business was reported. The undertone. however, was firm and prices were well maintained at 12 cents for Cubas, cost and freight, equal to 130f cents for centrifugal. Advices from Cuba report 15O centrals now in operation A strike at some of the Cuban ports is said to be interfering with the move ment of sugar, and this may account for some of the firmness in the mar ket.

POLITICAL ANNOUNCEMENTS

The Ely Record in commenting up
on the political deductions of Louis
A. Spellier, in a recent issue of the
Reno Gazette. has the following to
say in regards to congressional can
didates:
1t will be noticed that all of the
candidates mentioned are residents of
the western portion of the state,
principally the town of Reno, which,
through its old and well-regulated hi
partisan machine, has long controlled
the nominations of both parties. The
list of candidates presents the names
of a number of very able men, but
somehow Spellier seems to have over
looked the name of Samuel Shaw
AREN'T, of Clark county, who is an an
nounced candidate for the Republi-
can nomination for congress.
Mr.. Arentz is an engineer of long
standing, who has been in charge of
the building of railroads and the
opening up and development of min
ing properties in Southern Nevada.
He is a progressive Republican, and
is not afraid to state that at times
he has voted for Democrats for office
whom he considered better qualified
than their opponents on the Republi-
can ticket. When not engaged in pro-
fessional work he resides on his
ranch at Simpson. When the war
broke out he enlisted in the engineer
corps and returned home with a cap
tain's commission. He is a married
mar and has a family of four chill
dren.
Mr.. AREN'T seems well qualified to
fill the position to which he aspires,
but as the probabilities are that White
Pine county will have a "favorite son"
seeking the same honors, the Record
feels that it cannot offer the Clark
county man any encouragement at the
present time.

when they meet their city cousins.
Encourage them to take up nature

beauty of rural surroundings.
Encourage the young people of the
town to have regular dances and en-
tertainments, SO they win have self
confidence, and SO that their home life
will not seem dull.

WHY ADVERTISED
STORES SUCCEED

The problem of any proposition
seeking to win favor of the public, is
to attract attention, to get talked
about. No public entertainment could
get attention simply by passing word
about it from mouth to mouth. That
is why people getting up any kind of
a public assembly always rush to the
newspapers the first thing.
1t is even more difficult for a man
to get his business talked about if he
refuses to use newspaper space. No
one is interested to help him secure
this publicity. Few people will take
any pains to tell others of good stuff
he may carry. He may have ever so
good a show window, but people do
not stop much to look into show win
dows nowadays.
But people will always stop to read
the contents of a newspaper, because
they pick it up in their own homes
at their convenience. Scores OF
people will notice an advertisement
where one would stop to look at a
show window.

I'll COUNTRY GIRL

From all over the country the COM
plant m that boys and girls are
leaving farms and small towns more
than ever before, and going to the
cities, tempted by wages offered.
Many observers believe that if you
can keep the girls contented in their
rural homes, the boys will stay there
too.
The following suggestions are made
by a student of girl life in country
towns, as to how they a be firmly
located and attached to rural life:
Bring them up in a good school,
under teachers who were country
girls and love country life.
Give them little enterprises of their
own, by which they can have their
own spending money. Let them have
chickens, a garden, one or two pigs
or anything which they can raise and
study, and thereby become interested
in the problem of farm production.
Keep improving the house a little,
so they will be proud of it, and help
them fix u attractive rooms for them
selves.
Teach them how to make for them
selves attractive and stylish clothes
so they will not feel ashamed of
themselves and their country life

THE WOOL, S7.37;
THE SUIT, 800

Can we doubt that the general pub
lie is being sandbagged when we
know such facts as these:
THE net profits of the American
Wooden Company, after Federal taxes
had been deducted, were $2,77S, 500 in
1914, $500, 295 in 1915, $S,210,761 in
1916, $~15,664,9S5 in 1917 and 1924
0S4 in 1918. All on an invested capt.
tai of twenty-five millions. The earn
ings on its common stock were $10.S0
a share in 1915, $27.05 a share in
1916, $47.62 a share in 1917, and this
year, according to best Wall Street
information, will exceed 800 a share,
or more than the stocks par value
A year ago the watered stock of the
American Wooden Company, the chief
textile company in the United States
was quoted Oh the stock exchange at
As. Today it is close to $50, and in
recent weeks has been quoted at 156.
For the wool that goes into a suit
of clothes, which sells for 800, the
wool grower receives 1897, says the
Wool Growers Association. This

more than twelve times the
price Of the raw material. The price
of clothing has made enormous ad-
vances and is still advancing not

Company cleaned up net profits of
fifty-six percent in 1917 and 191S-or
$4,000, 900 more than the $40, 900, 900

There can be no real shortage of
cotton with a crop of IL 900, 900 bales
added to 5000, 900 bales left over from

SUGGEST LIBERTY BONDS, WAR STAMPS,
 AS XMAS PRESENTS

That the good American citizen should consider not only the advisabil ity but the good business sense of making Liberty bonds, War Savings stamps and Thrift stamps part of his Christmas giving thls year is the bur den of a letter sent to the chamber of commerce by the government savings organization of the United States go ernment. received here yesterday. The letter, which also contains some in formation concerning the various se- curities, follows:
 The treasury department at Wash ington has suggested that we get in touch with you on a subject of i'm portance to the government of the United States. Briefly, the government asks you to present to your organiza- tion the idea of stimulating sales of government securities, such as Liberty bonds, Thrift and Savings stamps and Treasury Savings certificates, by giv- ing them as Christmas presents where ever possible.
 Tt is probably not going too far to say that most Christmas presents are disappointments. Often they have no intrinsic value and bring little pleasure either to the giver or the recipient. Most people would rather have the none spent for a Christmas present than the present itself.
 Better even than money are the se curities of our government. In the case Of Savings stamps and Treasury certificates they are rock ribbed invest ments, backed by the nations strength, increasing in value every month and maturing in five years from the first month of the year of purchase at an interest rate of per cent compounded every three months. Especially in the case of children. presents of Thrift stamps, Savings stamps or Treasury Savings certificates are valuable in that they tend to promote desire to own more and thereby build pthe impor- tant habit of thrift and saving This not only establishes the savings habit, but at the same time aids our govern ment in its postwar financing.
 "You will serve he country we'll at this time if you will call this matter to the attention of your members in any way you deem best at least two weeks before Christmas"
