An Advance of ' to Is Points Was Recorded During Last Week-Holi-
 day Feeling.

New Orleans, Dec. 25.-The trend was higher in a mild sort of way in the cotton market this last week, the net changes on the close being ad vances of ' to h points. At one time in the early part of the week prices were 45 to 56 points up with January at 17.92. Lowest levels came q little later. under realizing on the long side, and here the trading months were r to 23 points under the close of the preceding week, with January off to TIT. In the closing sessions of the week the market braced up again, Jan uary closing at 17.51. In the spot de partment middling gained 25 points in the net results. closing at 1750, which compared with HOO as the clos ing price year ago.
 The ginning report from the Census Bureau was the main support of the market in the early part of the week, the total of 7,799,54S bales produced to December 13 being under general expectations and causing bullish trad CTS to claim that the government with it's figures of S,340.00 bales had under estimated the crop. As the market hardened. traders on the long side commenced to take profits and for while they more than supplied the de mand.
 First notice day for January con tracts was Friday and it brought higher market as tenders were not as large as expected. Predictions were that first notices would amount to from 15.OOO to 10000 bales, but only 6,100 bales appeared and they were quickly stopped. It was gossip in the spot department that large spot inter ests stood ready to take up everything rendered against January.
 Late in the week bullish sentiment was strengthened by many messages from Liverpool, London and Manches- ter, telling of q better business being done in the Manchester cloth market. Some of these cablegramS said that the indicat tions were that many mills would be running full time in February

ROTAR|ANs HEAR
MAI. BROWN ON
STATE HIGHWAYS

Major Charles A. Browne. engineer
for the state highway department,
was the principal speaker on the pro-
gram at the regular weekly luncheon
of the Rotary club yesterday at the
Episcopal Guild Hall.
Major Browne prefaced his re-
marks with the wish that he had the
opportunity to become a member of
Rotary club, as he had observed for
long while that wherever there was
development, progressive movements
and accomplishments that the Rota-
rians were right in the front line.
Speaking of the seeming impo-
tency of the road department in Flo
rida, Major Browne submitted figures
of receipts covering a period of the
last five years, together with the
cost of road building, taking over the
convict department, which had to be
clothed from toe to top, and the ne
cessity for building at places where
the roads were practically impassa-
BILE first. Major Browne said that no
one outside the road department could
appreciate the divergence Of opinion
as to where the activities of the de-
partment shold first be expended.
Everybody wanted the road by his
front door first.
Road building today, such as the
government will accept and pay it's
ffty-ffty for, costs between thirty
and forty thousand dollars a mile,
Major Browne said. On this basis
the road between Jacksonville and
Pensacola, designed as state road No.
l, would cost about $32,OO0,0OO, more
than the total expenditures of roads
in the state, as at present, for ten
years. The other projects would cost
each nearly as much, and therefore
with about one slXtleth the amount |
of money needed to complete all of |
the projects the department was I'M
able to make much of a showing for
all concerned.
The question of rates also was a |

PHILIPPINE Exhibit
Makes Big Hit
At London Show
(By Associated Press)

my AssbEthtEu
London, July 5.--Visitors to the
Fifth International Exhibition of
Rubber and Tropical Products here
have paid generous attention to the
displays of the Philippine government
which occupy large booth.
Fidel A. Reyes, director of the Blu
reau of Commerce and Industry in
the Philippine administration, who is
in charge of the exhibition said the
experiment was proving very worth
while.
II am positive that the work and
expense of bringing the exhibition
to England has been more than JUS
tifed," said Mr.. Reyes. eve have
been overwhelmed with inquiries
about the POSSIBILITIES of trade and
industry in the Philippines and with
requests for information about ex-
ports. Our experiences warrant my
saying that new markets certainly
will be established for certain pro-
ducts which England wants."
Products on display in raw state
include hemp, sugar, tobacco, cocoa
nut and cocoanut oils. OF finished ar
ticles there are hats, embroideries,
buttons, slippers, basketstries and
furniture.
The large show cases filled with
women's gay colored hemp hats
caught the feminine eye and very
early in the show were sold out.
Furniture manufactured from ma
tive woods has attracted much atten-
ton, especially circular dining Ia
bic of Nara wood, the top made from
a single piece measuring five feet in
diameter. This species of wood is
dark in color, something similar to
and takes a beautiful
polish.
Lamp shades made from the shell |
Of Kapis, a mullusc similar to the
oyster, are on display representing,
it was stated, a new industry now
getting a foothold in the islands.
