COTTON STARTED
 WEEK WITH JUMP,
 BUT TOOK HEADER
UnfavorahIe Politics Abroad and Manchester's Report on Cloths and Yarns Partly
 Responsible for Pressure
By Associated Press

New Orleans, February 6.-High prices in the cotton market last week came on the opening session and lowest prices at the middle of the week. On the close net losses of 65 to g points were shown, with March at 13.44c and July at l3-93c.
 Spots were weaker than contracts and middling was off 100 points in the net results, closing at 1325c, which compared with .75c as the closing price a year ago. At the highest of the week the more active months in the contract mar ket were to Il points over the level of the preceding weeks close, and at the low est they were 123 to 134 points under, the range for the week being 122 to l45 points. March traded as high as 14.2Sc and as low as 12-SSc, at the lowest being only about half cent pound over the lowest prices yet touched this season.
 The unfavorable political accounts 'from abroad mixed with the gloomiest Kind of reports from the Manchester market concerning the state of trade in cloths and yarns, were responsible for a good part of the selling pressure. How ever, the easiness of interior spot mar kets during the first and middle DOT tions of the week encouraged much sell ing, especially after rumors appeared that much cotton would be rendered by southern interests against March con- tracts, and in this connection it is in- teresting to note that at the end of the week there were further rumors that large quantities of cotton would shortly be found clearing Texas ports for New York
 The growing strength of the technical position of the market as the decline progressed, unquestionably saved it from further breaks in the closing sessions Of the week Covering of the short interest during the last two sessions dominated fluctuations and caused material reac- tions from the lowest level of the week.
 At the end of the week market circu- lars were paying much attntion to the technical shape of the market, some or them venturing the opinion that the short interest had been greatly reduced and that the market this coming week would miss the strong support it had been get ting from this source. Others took the opposite view and gave publicity to the claim that there still existed in the northern market concentrated short in terest owned by leading traders
 While the matter of the short interest must be given serious consideration dur ing theg week to come spots will prop- ably furnish important news. At the end of last week there were signs of grow ing demand and some traders predicted a further increase in the inquiry in the near future as the result of more mills starting up. One of the largest New England mill concerns is now said to Dc operating night shifts and new S,oOo.VW mill in the Atlantics has begun opera i<inns

FEARED FOR HIS OWN TRELLls
Chinese Humorists Tell Good story
With Henpecked Magistrate as
the Central Character.

Managing wives and benpecked hus-
bands are not uncommon In China, in
spite Of the subordinate position that
women are supposed to occupy In that
country. A considerable part of the
,hunor Of the Chinese Is concerned
with households where the woman Is
master; one popular story, quoted by
writer In the Open Court, is as
follows:
district magistrate was sitting In
his court, trying cases. When the
chief clerk appeared and took his seat
the magistrate saw that his face was
full of scratches; so he asked him,
what have you done to your facef"
Yesterday evening" replied the
man, Il was sitting under my vine
trellis, enjoying the cool breeze, when
all at once gust of wind overturned
the trellis, which fell upon me and
scratched my face"
But the magistrate did not believe
the story. Evidently these are
scratches of finger nails" he said. II

your wife and were scratched by her.

wife before my tribunal and giving
her a good thrashing."
Just as he uttered those words his
own wife came rushing In from the
next room and said, Whom are you
going to beatf"
The magistrate hurriedly said to his
attendants, .The sitting is adjourned.

Taking $4,000
Partners

W7ITHIN a few weeks the
employees of the Standard Oil J.
Company (Indiana) will be given
an opportunity by the Company
to buy shares in the capital stock
of this organization under condi-
tons which are distinctly favor
able to the employee.
This stock is to be paid for from the
employees savings running over period
Of five years.
AT the end of that time it is believed that
the men actively engaged in conducting
the business of this corporation will be
possessed of substantial interest in the
business
This is but one other step which the
Company has taken to make mutual the
interests of those who are engaged in its
activities and those who by the invest
ment of their capital have made these
activities possible.
1t is this spirit of fairness ever dominant
in the minds of the management which
has enabled the Standard Oil Company
(Indiana) to gather an organization of
enthusiastic, efficient, thoughtful and con-
scientious men and women who are de-
voting themselves to the betterment of
that complete cycle of service which the
Company is rendering the public.
To give you the service you are entitled
to receive and which it is the Companys
wish to render, every employee realizes
that infinite pains must be taken with
every step, leading up to the transaction
The Company believes that by making
the active employees partners in the bus
mess, another step has been taken to
achieve that perfection of service toward
which we are striving.

Court Refuses to Issue
Port Treaty Injunction
N. Y..Jersey Harbor Develop
ment Plan Is to City's Advan.
tage, Justice Delehanty Saws

Justice Delehanty yesterday denied
the application of Corporation Counsel
O'Brien for a perma nent injunction to
restrain the commissioners appointed
under legislative act to enter into a
treaty or agreement in behalf of the
State of New York with commissioners
representing the State of New Jersey
for the development of the Port of
New York.
Corporation Counsel O'Brien con-
tended that the act under which the
commission was appointed was uncon-
stitutional, and that the consumm alton
of the port development plan would de-
prive the city of certain property
rights. With the denial by the court
of permanent injunction a temporary
restraining order is vacated.
An examination of the authorities
submitted on the hearing of this mo-
ton demonstrates that the claims of
the City of New York are without legal
Justification" said Justice Delehanty,
"and that there is nothing in the pro-
posed contract inimical to the rights
New York On the contrary, the legis-
signed to remove artificial barriers ex-
listing at the port and to confer spe-
cial benefit upon the people of the
states of New York and New Jersey, as
we'll as the country in general. 1t is
we'll established that, subject to the
approval of Congress, any two states
may enter into joint adventure to
promote the common welfare of their
citizens"
