GEORGE WASHINGTON.

When God on high looked DER this land
For freedoms greatest son,
He chose from all the patriots
Virginias Washington;
And IN the deeds of this great man
Whose birth celebrate
i seen the hand of Providence
In battle and in state.
At Valley Forge his soul was tried
As prophets were Of old
His troops were ragged. underfed
And chilled with winters cold
But God was there to urge him on
To fame and victory,
That You and I today might breathe
The air Of liberty.
And when. upon that friSid night.
When mOrtals would despair.
, Twas God, we know. who guided him
Across the Delaware:
Twas He who led the way that night
To make u s-fe retreat.
And He vino saved army from
Destruction and defeat.
And, finally. when Yorktown came
And freedom We had won.
No doubt God blessed the newborn states
Made free by Washington.
Oh may this country ever live
Till time shall he no more:
May love and independence spread
This whole world DER and u'.r
And may that precious starry na=
Bright heavens gates adorn.
To greet our eyes when we awake
On resurrection nom:
And may we. at Gods right han.I -.
The Savior and the Son
And at his left-thou freedoms king
Immortal Washington.

COTTON MARKET
 WAS LESS ACTIVE
 AND VERY NARROW
At the End of the Session the Market Was Steady, Net Fifteen Points Lower to
 Four Points Higher
Rx Associated Press

New York, January 14.-The cotto1- market was much less active today and Fluctuations were narrow. March sold at 1630c early but broke to 1576c and closed at 15.92c, compared with l6.OSc at the close yesterday. The general market closed steady, net 15 points below last nights closing quota ditional January notices estimated at 2100 bales were reported but there was very little business in the spot month after the liquidation of late yes terday and the price ranged between 1730c and 17.02c. closing at 17.0Sc.
 The market opened steady at an ad- vance of 10 to 21 points on steady ca bles and favorable reports from the goods trade. There was a good deal of realizing and some southern selling, however, and prices turned easier dur ing the middle of the day with May selling down to 16.70c or about 90 points belo wlast nights closing quota tions. Business then became less ac- tive and the market showed no spe- cial feature later in the day, with last prices showing rallies of 15 or 20 points on coverings, and scattered trade buying. The census report show ing only 23f,S3f bales of lint con sumed by domestic mills during De cember. established a new low record, but was closely in line with expecta- tions, while reports from the goods trade tended to strengthen the expec- tation of a much better showing for January Sales of print cloths in the Fall River market for the week were estimated at 300,000 pieces. the biggest business reported in many months of the staple goods. Private cables re- ported a better tone in Manchester and houses with Liverpool connections were among the early buyers here.

AVERAGE FOR, WHEAT WAS LOWER YESTERDAY IN
 CHICAGO GRAIN PIT
By Associated Frogs

Chicago, January 14.-Wheat aver aged lower in price today. largely as result of slackening of export de- mand. The close was heavy at 14c to % net decline. with March s1.77 to $1.77a and May $1.70 to $1.7oA. Corn lost asc to hc, oats 1s @ hc to $ and pro- visions 12c to 20c.
 Although bulls in the wheat market made some headway for while owing to news that rain was an urgent need for the crops of India, the strength ing Famine reports from some prov inces of India were also without much permanent influence of the market, one reason being that despite the famine India was credited with having shipped last week to other countries 500,000 bushels of wheat mostly to Great Brit ain. On the other hand, the amount of export business in the United States today appeared to be far less than has been the rule of late, and it was said France and Germany had been buying in Argentina to the extent of 100000 bushels Gossip was current, too, that enlarged domestic flour trade was be- ing taken care of chiefly from wheat already on hand at the mills Seaboard demand for corn helped to keep corn and oats relatively steady notwith- standing that rural offerings of corn are liberal Weakness of the hog mar ket had depressing effect on pro- visions.

market conditions and the strength of the January positions. The latter resulted from the apparent willingness of the in tereSts holding January contracts to ac- cept deliveries at prices above a ship ping parity with southern spot markets, although a good deal of cotton is said to be on it's way here to liquidate short commitments There was a report dur ing the middle of the week that such shipments might possibly be restricted by, inability to secure warehouse room and January buyers paid as high as 1Sc to cover their contracts Later, however, it was announced that the cotton ex- change had licensed additional storage space for 25,000 bales and prices eased off toward the eId of the week. 1t is esti- mated that the cotton coming here for January delivery will increase the local warehouse stock to about 70 900 bales by the end of the month Meanwhile, a de- cided improvement has been reported in the demand for cotton goods, sales of print cloths in the Fall River market for the wee khaving been the largest for months, and partly for deliveries extend- ing four months ahead. Prices for some staple goods also have been advanced, which some traders regard as indicating scarcity of sach constructions and trade adviees from Liverpool said that part of the larger spot business reported there represented purchases of low grades for export, presumably to the continent. Ru mors that operators had been buying low grades in the south have also been cir culated although lacking definite con firmation Domestic mill consumption for December made new low record, amounting to only 294S51 bales, against 511,711 last year

New OrleanL cotton

- by HSSoeEifed Press
 New Orleans, January 14.F'luctuationS in cotton today were within unusually narrow limits, not so much because of inactivity as because of conflicting news. Advances did not go far before selling was met, and the other hand de- clires did not go far before a demand was encountered. Lverpool's strength caused a rise of 10 to F points on the opening. after which there was fall un- der the small December consumption in this country 2N,S5l bales according to the census bureau and the small bank failure at Memphis. After prices had >de- clined 20 to 9 points under yesterdays close a new demand was met, and from then on there was no definite trend The market was closed at net losses on the day of to 10 points. March traded. as Eigh as 15.35c and as low as 15c. closing at 15. 15c,
 steadying influence was the more en- couraging tone of cablegrams from Eng land. several of which said that a better business was doing in Manchester in both cloths and yarns, while late in the -e-- sion it was reported that 2000 bales had been sold in this market for shipment to Manchester This was offset. in it's af- feet on values, by the report that a Texas cotton mill was shipping cotton to this market for resale.

TRADING ON WALL
 STREET WAS DULL
 AND CONTRACTED
The Money Market Was Un- changed, a Six Per Cent Rate Prevailing for Call
 Loans
By Associated Press

New York, January 14.--Business on the stock exchange today was very dull and contracted as to scope in the market evinced little alteration from its recent irregular and professional tone.
 The session began with recurrent pressure against speculative favorities, such as crucible steel, feathers, equip ments tobaccos, food issues and va riety of unclassified specialties at gross recessions of l to 1 points. American hide and leather preferred showing special weakness.
 Before midday most losses were re- covered, shorts rushing to cover as the more reactionary issues of the morn ing reversed their course, developing sudden strength under the guidance of easy money and bull pools.
 Reading assumed leadership of the market in the final hour, extending its steady advance to almost three points and infusing d degree of steadiness among steels, oils and allied issues. some of which had previously reacted one to three points under realizing orders.

 The money market was unchanged, a six per cent rate prevailing for call loans, which were in abundant supply. Short time loans were negotiated at 6A to 6. Foreign exchange was mixed the London and Paris rates again cas- ing with better trend to marks and Scandinavian remittances, as we'll as the Canadian rates.
 Responding to easier money cond tions, the bond market, especially Lib erty issues and several of the new rail- way offerings, was firm to strong. Convertible bonds of the minor rail- roads also were firm.

DUN'S REVIEW

New York. January l.-Dun's tomor- row will say:
 While progress toward recovery is more clearly discernable, demand in some quarters ofelate has only developed after further price yielding, and waiting is still the rulc in lines where an exten- sion of the price deflation is seemingly foreshadowed. Indications multiply, how ever. that certain trades are beginning to emerge from their long continued lethargy, the improvement in dry goods conditions being especially conspicuous, and the increased attendance of buyers in some of the leading markets is evi- dence alike If their renewed interest and growing need for merchandise. While purchasing is still cautious and restrict ed, it is larger in some instances than had been expected, and is the more wholesome and reassuring because it is based on actual requirements and not on speculative anticipations.

OVER PRIVATE WIRES
Hubbard Bros. & Co.'S Letter

New York, January H.-(Special)- Prices eased somewhat during the day, principally on the census figures, which were considered bearish, on account of the small amount of cotton used in De- cember However. stocks in mill ware houses were 5S0.OO0 bales less than last year. With the decided improvement in the cloth market when will the mills start to replace this stock. Indications from New England point to start all ready as the biggest spot demand is reported since last spring. Manchester also has reported a decided improvement so that good demand in the south for spots may be<expected very shortly
 We think that this improved trade de- maDd will cause bigger market es pecially as quite a short interest has been built up on the idea that l6 cents dis. counted the improved trade, an opinion we disagree with.-Hubbard Bros. Co
