MARKET
PRICES DECLINE
Mondays Gains Are Wiped Out During
Session.

NEW YORK, Jan. 4-The cotton mar
ket lost good part of yesterdays
gains during today's trading owing to
reports of easier southern markets and
the failure of buying to broaden after
the scattering short interests had COW
cred on the advance of the previous
day March contracts sold off from
1880 to i400 and closed at 1405, with the
general market closing easy at a net
decline of 80 to Is points. :
The Liverpool market was fully up
to expectations and the opening here
was points lower on July, but gen.
orally to i6 points higher on con-
tinuation of yesterdays buying move
ment. There was considerable south
ern selling, however, accompanied by
reports of unsettled financial condi-
tions in the southwest and the market
soon turned easier The decline was
held in check during the middle Of the
day and there We're occasional rallies
on reports OF Increasing domestic mil
consumption and better demand for
cotton goods at the new price levels,
but eSch bulge seemed to meet south
ern selling and the market became very
weak during the afternoon.
The relative easiness of New Or
leans selling orders contributed to the
decline which carried January off to
4495 and May to i409 in the late even
ing. Last prices were only few
points UP from the lowest on covering.
The passing of the war financial cor
poration bill over the presidents veto
appeared to have been expected and
discounted and local brokers said that
yesterdays advance had evidently left
the market in an easy technical posi-
ton.

ORLEANS COTTON
is UNSETTLED
Early Prices Are High But Trend is
IoYypr

Lower.
NEW ORLEANS, Jan. Awhile the
first call in the cotton market today
saw higher prices in small way. the
trend soon became decidedly lower I'M
der liquidation by yesterdays buyers,
and the market fell off to net declines
that We're gradually widened, lowest
prices coming on the close when the
trading months were 10 to 76 points
under the final Of yesterday. Marcel
traded as high as 1923 from which /
fell to 1870 The early gains amountel
to 8 to is points, and were mainly due
to a better Liverpool market than eX
pected.
In the late trading. selling increased
because Of reports of small bank fall
ures in the belt and the Mexican bank
failure. After the advance was over
considerable attention was paid to
private messages from Liverpool, some
of which claimed that trade at Man
chester was showing no improvement
and that further curtailment was be-
ing talked of by the mills.
In the afternoon an upturn of about
20 points was caused by the repor;
that the house had again passed the
war finance corporation measure, but
this Improvement was not long sus-
tanned. Some traders considered tina,
this and other items of bullish news
were Offset by the nors that a pri-
vate bureau was coming out with bear
ish returns on ginning and after thu
close it was said that this bureau has
estimated that to the end of Deem
Der 100000 bales Of cotton were
ginned.

Bug Wave Threatens Wheat.

Kansas City. Mo-, Feb. 49,
Myriads of green bugs of a kind
not yet identified have appeared
IN Oklahoma and are advancing
toward the Kansas wheat fields,
according to information received
here today by C. Mohler, Sec
rotary of the Kansas State Board
Of Agriculture. Crops in the in
tested districts of Oklahoma are
seriously threatened, according to
a message from Oklahoma City,
which quoted Thomas B. Gordon,
State entomologist, as saying
the bugs had entered Oklahoma
from Texas.
According to Mohler's Informal
ton, the bugs have reached Enid,
Okla, making a clean sweep of
as much wheat as they can cover.

The Veterans.

One who has had an oppor-
tunlty TO observe the Contederat e
Veterans from the point of view
Of religion cannot but be i'm
pressed with the influence they
have had in the Church of God
in the last half century. A large
percentage of them became min
listers OF the Gospel. A still
larger number Of them have
been selected by the churches of
which they were members as
church officers, and they have
had a commanding influence in
the councils Of their several de-
nominations. Very few of them
have failed to become Christians.
ana they have illustrated a high
type Of Christian character.
They have left an equal i'm
press upon business and civil
lie, and upon the National Gov
eminent. When they surrender
ed and took the oath of allegi-
ance to the Government of the
United States, for them the war
was ended. They put their
honor and religion into the oath
and have served the country with
that same conscience and cour-
age and high ability with which
they had served in the armies of
their great commanders. Their
doing so was not disloyal to the
mighty past. The first soldier
to fall under the American flag
in France was grandson of a
Confederate Veteran, and the
second was a grandson Of a
Union Veteran.-1st Presbyterian
Church Bulletin.

FRIDAY. FEBRUARY IS. 1921
THE LEE HIGHWAY.

In this issue, is published an
article from the Page News and
Courier in which it is stated that
it is proposed to change the route
OF the Lee Highway, which when
completed will run from New
York to San Francisco by way of
Washington. 1t is now proposed
to have the road strike the VAL
ley Turnpike at New Market in
stead Of Winchester, after pass
ing through Luray.
The people of Luray have I'M
dertaken a Herculean task and
deserve credit for their enterpris-
ing spirit. The argument which
they present is that it will de-
crease the distance by forty miles,
we do not know whether this is
correct. 1t seems to be doubtful.
Tie route originally selected
has other compensating advan-
tages. The route originally Sc
leCled is via Bluemont, a fash
iOuable summer resort on top of
the Blue Ridge, where tourists
would get their first view Of the
world renowned Shenandoah Val
ley, aud would soon strike SPLEEN
did State roads already construct
ed and extending over onehundred
M IS and passing through the
most historic and beautiful por-
tions of the Shenandoa Ii Valley.
From Bluemont to Harrisonburg
the route would pass through a
large number of battle fields.
The first of which would be at
BluemOnt and among the number
are Castleman's Ferry, Berry
vile, Winchester, Kernstown,
Cedar Creek, FISHERS Hill, ard
New Market. In fact the change
Of route would deprive the tour
lists of seeing the most charming
and interesting portions of the
Shenandoah Valley. When the
advantages of the two routes are
fairly considered, the Board will
we believe adhere to their origi-
inal decision.
Our Luray friends suggest two
routes, one by Front Royal which
town it is said offers $1,000 to
have the road reach them and
one by Thornton's Gap. both of
which would pass through Luray.
The proposed routes would re-
quire the building of a road
