Some Christmas Advice.

The postoffice authorities are wag-
ing a campaign to eradicate diminu-
tive cards and envelopes contain
ing Christmas greetings so popular
among the gentler sex around Yule-
tide and are likewise striving to bring
about reform in fancy writing, also
stressing the Importance Of early
mailing and the perfect package.
Small letters and cards, authorities
say, will not fit the cancelling ma
chimes and consequently have to be
cancelled by hand. The cancellation
often obliterates the address and the
missives have a tendency to slip from
a bundle of letters and get lost.

SELLING WAS CUT OFF BY r ORE|GN NEWS AND WEATHER
General Cotton List Was Steady at Close, at a Net Decline of Five to Thir-
 teen Points
By Associated Pres.

New fork, June 9.IOptinis sm over the prospects for an early settle ment of British labor troubles re- stricted selling on the favorable weather news in today's cotton mar ket There was steady liquidation of July contracts, however, part of which was spread into the late months by switching and prices were barely maintained October fluc- tuated between fs.3sc and 1s.47c. closing at 1s.Sec, with the general market closing steady at a net de- cline of to Is points.
 The market opened steady at an advance of , points on Juiy but gem erally to 12 points lower, and ac- tive months sold 6 to 1 ? points below last nights closing figures durins the first few minutes. There was scattered southern selling and local liquidation inspired by the early weakness of foreign exchange which offset higher Liverpool cables and belief that the crop was making good progress under continuance of favorable weather conditions These early offerings were pretty well absorbed and the market stead jed up during the morning on cover ing. Rumors that the British coal strike had been settled were not con firmed, but all reports from both Liverpool and London were cheerful over the outlook and led to some local or Wall street buying which sent prices back to within few points of last nights closing figures. There was steady selling of July supposedly in liquidation of wire house accounts. however, and while this was quite readily absorbed against sales of later deliveries at premium Of so to 32 points on Oc tober, prices turned easier during the afternoon. Some of the earlier buy CTS were liquidating in the late trading and last prices were about the lowest of the day or around 12.55c for July and 13.s6c for De- cember. Private cables were re- ceved from Liverpool denying that there had been a. settlement of the coal strike, but progress in that di- rection seemed to be hoped for in connection with tomorrow's confer ence.

Hurried Buying Sent
 Prices Skyward In
 Chicago Grain Pit
By Associated Pross

Chicago, June 9.-Flurried buying shot prices upward S% cents today
 in the wheat market. but the effect was largely transient. Demand was due for the most part to reports of q possible big railroad strike July |, and to the government crop report that the winter wheat yield would be curtailed 51,O00,oo0 bushels. The market closed unsettled at A to 8 cents net higher with July s1.54A to s135 and Septem Der $1.17A to $1.17s. Corn lost s O &c to 1c and oats F to s4 O 7sc.
 Rulish aspects of the government report brought about a decided up- turn as soon as the wheat market opened For while, however, rushes to buy were held more or less in check as 8 result of new breaks in foreign exchange and because of weakness in the stock market. Then gossip began to circulate that rail- way employees were seriously discuss ing general tie-up and that the consequence might be great difficult ty in the delivery of wheat on con tracts especially during July. Shorts took alarms and did not stop bidding until the market for July had ilited as high as S1.40%, level within one cent of the topmost price So far this season. Subsequent downturn were apparently Sue to profit taking on the part of the holders and t. advices from Springfield that pros posed anti-pit Legislation was aga, factor.

NEW ORLEANS COTTON
 A1...s..tl.AaA n..

 New Orleans. June y.--A fairly even balance of trading influences today prevented the cotton market from moving over a wide range. Small advances in the early trading were succeeded by small declines and the market remained depressed during the rest of the session, clos ing at the lowest of the day, at net losses of to 13 points, At the highest levels tho trading months were 2 to points higher than yes terdays close. July rose to 12.25c The closing price on July was 12.15a.
 Early steadiness was due to ru- mors that the British coal strike had been settled but support from this source was soon offset by the weak ness of foreign exchange and the de clines in the stock market The con tinued decline in the rates of sterling exchange caused much unfavorable comment.
 Weather conditions over the( be.t were considered unfavorable because of the general cloudiness and the showers, heavy in many places, in the west of the belt Opinion was that this sort of weather would in- crease already numerous complaints regarding the boil weevil. The fore cast increased bullish feeling regard ing the weather as it called for cloudy to unsettled and showery weather over the greater part of the belt. While the weather held the undertone of the market steady it created only a small demand which was met by steady trickle of offer ings, practically throughout the ses- sion.

 The reversal beginning at the out set. progressed to the heavy close, Primary factors included increased decentralization in foreign exchange and Mexico's proposed heavy export tax on oils
 Continued contraction of operations Bn the steel and motor industries, ad- k3itional price cutting and more divi- 6end omissions provided the aggres- lefve shorts with fresh ammunition.
 Money on call was easy. opening at Sh per cent, the minimum initial rate of the last fortnight and easing No six per cent in the last hour. In khe open market, offerings were made as low as per cent. Time funds were closely held, however, ex- Gept for prime collateral.
