SELLING YOUR SERVICES

Jacob Penn, in Leslie's Weekly.
 The business of getting a job is like any other business. It requires salesmanship. Your employment problem is a sales problem, pure and simple. Waiting for the offers to come in after the fashion of the proud diploma decorated youth will not obtain any kind of job for you.
 In his sales campaign the mer- chant seeks first to learn who the persons are that are likely to be in terested in his goods. He looks for Heads" in the parlance of the sales man. The "leadsp obtained, he tries to develop as many of them as pos siole into buyers of his merchandise. If you are out of employment, or if you desire to obtain better po- sition, you will do well to follow closely the methods pursued by tho successful merchant to put his goods over.'
 With some of these methods you are familiar. You are being daily tested as Head through advertis- Ings it's various forms. At one time or another you have been ex- perimented with via the circular let ter. You have watched the sales man at work. and even your friends under various guises have been em- ployed by the energetic business man to swell his supply of leads"
 To obtain your leads" or the likely markets for your services, you have these and other mediums. Grouped together are the following eight ave nues of approach that have been Sue cessfully used by men and women of varied occupations and stations to locate possible employers of their services:
 t1) Help wanted" advertisements.
 (2l situation wanted" advertising.
 @ Employment agencies, private. public, semipublic.
 tD Civil service. city. state, fed eral.
 sC5) Circular letters.
 t6) Friends.

SOME NEW RECORDS WERE CHALKED UP IN COTTON TRADING
General Staple List Closed Firm at a Net Advance of Nineteen to Forty-Seven
 Points on the Day
By Assocfarec PreSs

New York, December 2T.-The cot ton market was quiet but generally steady today with prices making new high records for the movement. Over holiday reports to the goods trade were considered favorable, while southern advices indicated con- tinued absence of spot pressure, and there were very few sellers around the local ring. As result, prices were easily influenced by buying or ders with March selling up to 1S.85c. or. 50 points above the closing price of last Friday. That delivery closed at 1S.S2c, and the general market closed firm at net advance of 19 to 47 points
 The market opened firm at an ad- vance of l3 to 25 points on buying for Japanese and continental account and local support. This early bulge met some scattered realizing and a little southern selling, under which prices reacted 9 or 10 points from the best. The offerings were very small, however, and after they had been ab sorbed the market showed renewed firmness, active months selling 2S to 50 points net higher in the late trad ing with January touching 1S.90c and May 1S.33c. The close was or 3  points off from the best under real izing. There were eight January mo- tices which caused some scattering liquidation during the early trading and January lost most of it's prem ium over March, closing. within 3 points of that position compared with II points at the close of last week. Owing to the continuation of the Christmas holidays. there were no ca bles from Liverpool, but trade ad- vices from Manchester said there had been an improved inquiry for Lan- cashire goods before the holidays. Eastern belt advices received here during the day said there was no de- mand for spots with little or nothing offering, but there were reports of 8 better demand for spots. In some ot the southwestern markets. The lit- tie southern selling reported here early was attributed to scattering liquidation rather than hedging and trade interests were reported to be competing with speculative buyers for the few contracts offering here in the late trading. october deliveries sold at 17c. the highest price they have touched so far this season.

Ru,nors of Synthetic
 Gold Does Not Seem
 to Worry Wall Street
By Associated Press

New York, December 27.-Wall street was undisturbed today over persistent reports that a German sci- enlist has succeeded. in making sym thetic gold. Certain chemists also were skeptical. Quite a number of other people recalled their copybook maxim. "All Is not gold that glitters," and intimated disbelief in dispatches whi hinted that the age old quest of a.:hemists had reached its goal
 If the Germans wait for synthetic gold to make reparatiop payments, they will probably need longer moratorium than they now seek" said pr. Horace G. Byers, head of the chemistry department of Cooper union. Prof. Irving Fisher, of Yale, was quoted as saying in London that if the synthetic gold process were true, Germany might make a farce of the reparation payments by using synthetic gold.
 "Of course" pr. Byers added 'it would be brave or an ignorant sci- enlist who would pronounce the syn thesis of gold impossible. There is. however no creditable evidence that chemists are today any nearer the realization. of the dream of the al- chemists than they were in the days when the German kings were duped by the Knights of the Black Art
 Even were the speedy solution of the transmutation of metals prom ised, it Is probable the practical prob lem would be as distant from solution as is that of diamond manufacture, which everyone knows is possible.
 Both pr. Byers and pr. Harrison E.. Howe, editor of the Journal of Indus trial and Engineering Chemistry. diff fered from Professor Fisher. who has gone to Germany to investigate the reported synthetic gold achievement in statements attributed to Professor Fisher that synthetic gold might be worthless.
 of one should succeed in what 1t now seems to be a very improbable performance, the product would be far from worthless, as Professor Fisher is reported as fearing" said Dr. Howe. For all that we know it might be more valuable. Moisant, of Paris, demonstrated it was possible to make diamonds, but the small ones that he did make were more costly than the genuine gems."

NEW ORLEANS COTTON


 New Orleans. December 27.-What looked like trade buying, moderate in volume but most persistent, car ried the price of cotton to materially higher levels today in the face of a distinct holiday tone and in the all most entire absence of speculative feeling. The supply of contracts on the market was small throughout the day. The opening was higher and the gains were gradually increased until in the late trading prices were 80 to 47 points higher than the close of last week. Last prices were 30 to A points net higher on the day. Jan uary rose to 17.9Sc and closed at 17.95c.
 On the opening, it was plain that brokers were filling buying orders which had accumulated over the holi- days and there was general verdict on the floor that this buying was based on the growing strength of the statistical situation. As the day progressed tine demand was strength ened by somewhat better accounts from the domestic wholesale cotton goods markets and reports of slight improvement in the inquiry for spots here and there in the south.
 Unfavorable comment was aroused by political news from both India and Egypt, but it had no sustained effect on prices and all recessions of the day lasted only a short time and the widest amounted to barely more than 10 points. There was much gossip regarding probable bullish develop ments in connection with the liquida- tion of January which was the strongest month on the board.

TWO FACTORS WERE CAUSE OF WHEAT MAKING A DECLINE
Corn Also Lost, While Oats, on SeesaW-ProviSionS
 Varied Up and Down
 During the Day
By Associated Press

Chicago, December 27.-Announce-
 ment of an increase of the visible supply of wheat, whereas a decrease
 had been looked for, had bearish effect on the wheat market today and so, too, did disturbing gossip as to the government crop report tomor- row. The close was unsettled. Tsc to 1ssc net lower Corn lost a4c to 1c
 and oats finished 7s O 1zc off to isc advance. In provisions the outcome varied from 2hc decline to a rise of 5c.
 At first bulls had an advantage in the wheat market, the outlook be- ing for a seasonal improvement of cash wheat and flour demand, as well as for a falling off in the weekly total of the domestic visible supply of wheat. Sentiment began to change, however, when 1t was seen that early guesses about visible supply figures were not being borne out. During the rest of the day declines were in order and the bears made the most of fears that the government final crop estimates tomorrow would prove ad' verse to holders. A generally accepted opinion was that the government would figure the crop as being com siderably larger than the preliminary estimate, TAI. 900, ,000 bushels. Much talk was devoted to whether the re- port would upset bullish contentious that this countrys exportable surplus has been exhausted.
 Corn. like wheat, was depressed by good sized increase of visible sup ply figures. On the other hand, oats were held relatively steady by mod crate decrease.
 Provisions averaged little higher, helped by an upturn in the value of hogs.

MONTREAL AND ROOzE

William Slevins McNutt, in. Leslie's
 Weekly. t t
 Montreal has about 300 saloons and restaurants in which Deer, ale and wines are sold. In these places one can buy all the brews. ales and stouts, in addition to high wines, cham pagnes. burgundies ports. sherries, etc. All these drinks may be had In public saloons or restaurants with all the oid-tirne trimmings; walters. mir TOTS. mahogany and loud laughter.
 Do hear the thirsty American de- clare that if he just had the privilege of buying wine and beer under those circumstances in his own country he would be perfectly satisfied? I am sure I do. And in answer to that declaration I say: Bunk
 The alcoholic taste of the average Canadian and the average American is approximately identical. The Ca- nadian might run little more to Scotch and the American choose rye or bourbon oftener than his brother under the Maple Leaf but otherwise. If sitting side by side in cafe throughout a period of years. their orders for the time would about match both in quantity and proof

BULL POOLS IN THE SELECTED ISSUES STRENGTHENED LIST
Money Rates Were Moder- ately Firm, Easing From Five to Four and a Half
 Per Cent at Midday
By Associated Press

New York December 27.-The ten taave operati of bull pools in se- leCLed issues and occasional short GOV erng in shares of recognized value gave a semblance of strength to to- days dull stock market
 Incidents over the Christmas recess were of a mixed or confusing char acter. Assurance by St. Paul officials of that roads sound financial position and resumption of dividends on Peo- ples Gas after a lapse of four years were among the further develop ments.
 Another increase of idle freight cass, lowered production of steel and ircn in the ohio district and impend- ina price reductions by subsidiaries of the General Motors company re- flected the less encouraging aspects of the industrial situation.
 Shares of such varied types as equipments, metals domestic oils. chemicals and utilities were the prominent features. These were rep resented by American, Baldwin and Lima Locomotives, American Smelt- inn Anaconda, Inspiration, Kennecott ana Utah Coppers, the New Jersey and California Issues of Standard oil, UnNed Cigar Stores and Peoples Gas.
 Trading in rails was perfunctory and the turnover in former favorites of the steel and affiliated groups was at the lowest ebb of the holiday sea- son.
 Money rates were moderately firm, casing. from 6 to Az per cent at mid day, but reacting to the higher fig urs in the final hour Rates for time accommodations. bank acceptances ana mercantile paper were unaltered.
 Political conditions in the allied countries contributed to the firmer tone of foreign exchanges, the Italian rate proving the only exception. Of the neutral centers the Swiss quota tiom eased slightly, but still remained at a premium high enough to suggest possible gold exports to that country. There were few exceptions to the gen eral strength of the bond market. Liberty and Victory issues closed at gains and most speculative rails i'm proved. Total sales, par value, az grsgated S16, 100000.

BIG BUSINESS

From Everybody's Magazine. ' A westerner came on to spend his vacation at Loblolly Cove, near Rock port. He had never seen the ocean before. The first morning of his ar rival he appeared at the little fish house and general store kept by a native named Haskins and an nounced that he wanted two pails full of sea water, which the store keeper obligingly dipped up for him from his wharf, it beins high tide.
 How much?" the westerner asked.
 Hakins. who never overlooked a bargain, replied:
 '''ren cents."
 The new arrival paid it cheerfully and that afternoon he turned up again with his pails.
 My doctor out home told me to bathe in sea water twice a day" he explained. Then, observing the dis tant beach line at low tide, he atced. .'Gosh! You've had a big business today haven't you. mister?"

'
SHANNON < CO.'S LETTER

New York, December 27.-(Spe- cial)-The cotton market has been moderately active at a fair advance which has held very well in the ab- sence of any selling pressure from the south, fact which has attracted a. good deal of comment as suggest ing that the bulk of the cotton for merly for sale at this level has all ready been absorbed Advices from the local goods market were favor able and told of a good inquiry from big interests soliciting firm offers.
 The situation does not vet seem firm enough to warrant following closely on advances but we think de- clines will be temporary and should be used to buy the spring and sum mer months and the early new crop positions.
 The stock market has been ex- tremely dull but extraordinarily strong The feature has been the advance in American Locomotive and in Baldwin. Both these companies were well managed during the wart t period and the subsequent deflation, and have large cash balances. Inf| both it is reported that substantial distribution will be made of their surplus before long.
 The short interest in the market continues to be very large and 1t looks as if we should have something in the way of a sharp upward move- ment some time In the next ten days. Post & Flagg.
