sion After Steady Tone;
May Holdings Liquidaicd

Stcadincss was n feature in the cot
ton market yesterday until just before
the close, when New Orleans wire
houses and local selling promoted a
setback which left the market finally
barely steady, with prices 10 points
higher to s lower,
Sentiment appeared to be quite as
favorable to the bull side as it was
toward the close of last week, reflect
ing an impression that the separations
question would yet find a satisfactory
solution. tirmness in the stock mar
ket and supporting orders from Wall
view of recent good Lancashire bust
ness, regardless Of the strike handi-
cap, it was believed that mills there
would quickly go on full time as soon
as coal supplies were assured. 1t was
confidently believed by the trade that
within week or ten days European
affairs, which have been a drag on the
market for long time, would be fair
ly on the way to a satisfactory settle
ment, including peace between this
country and Germany. There was an
Improvement in domestic trade condi-
lions. Between steady distribution
of goods through Wholesale and retail
channels. together with the curtailment
of mill production, the outlook in this
connection is steadily becoming more
healthy. ,
During the day the May-July differ
cnce narrowed lightly, suggesting that
the long interest in May has been
pretty we'll liquidatcd and indicating
that because of extensive switching
from May to July there perhaps will
not be many notices issued today.
Southern spot markets as officially
reported were practically all un
changed, ranging from 1915 to 11.25,
with sales OF about 10000 bales at New
Orleans, Houston and Dallas.
The local market for spot cotton was
quiet and points lower at 1920 for
middling. No sales were reported.

CHRISTMAS TIME

Again the Christmas season brings gladness to

does not expand; who does not feel like rising
to attitudes surprising and loudly advertising his
JOY, TO beat the band. Old Santa Claus is freight.

waiting the dawn of Christmas day and though
my years are eighty and have burdens weighty
I'd think myself cheap-skatey if could not be
gay. At Christmas time. we hunger for chances
to be kind, and all the world is younger, and
srouch9s fall behind: and every normal chap
pie would make some fellow happy and Christ
mas Is a snap he's mighty glad to find My
years are nearly ninety, and | have many ills
but while drink my pine tea, and take my bees
wax pills, hear the Christmas singing: my
crutches from me fiingng, | rise and go aswinging
TO coast down icy hills. This is the merry sea
son when lights are all aglow, and Christmas
Sifts' the trees on, make such a gaudy show.
and in the frosty weather the whole bunch gets
together, and then with lungs of leather. sings
carols in the snow. And now we're all forgiyine
the grudges of the past, and we are glad we're
living IN amity at last; and if there is a fellow
whom Christmas doesn't mellow, his heart is
surely yellow, and he should stand aghast!

through the stories told by others who discovered
this land of delight or by literature furnished by
Chamber of Commerce on personal request. Now,
however, conditions are changing. Lakeland can
not escape the wide publicity that has come to the
city and county, publicity of such valuable ma
ture that all the money in the state could not pur-
chase at any price. So there comes the obligation
to recognize this new situation. Hotels this year
are taking good care of their guests as general
rule prices charged are extremely reasonable and
the only thing lacking is some form of amusement
and entertainment whereby the stranger may not
only obtain recreation but benefit in every way
by the visit to Florida. With the removal of the
tax burden that has been tackled to railway tickets,
this being effective the first of January, there will
be an additional incentive to travel to Florida this
winter.

Never mind the kicks Think how
chronic kickers were compelled to
do it.
Even your worst enemy probably
has no idea how mean you could be
il you wanted to.
One man believes everything he
hears; another doesn't believe any
thing he hears. Beth are foolish.

At Twilight
The shades of night were falling fast
AS through the town young mar
passed.
one eye was back, the other green,
Ru. o. his lips a smile serene
Displayed to those who stood about
That sundry teeth had fallen out.
One leg was twisted all awry,
Huge Jumps festooned his starboard
thigh,
But though his battered form was
bent,
Still blithely en- his way he went,
And ten companions just like him,
Came limping through the shadows
dim
Fhe football game was over!
