You can sow cabbage seeds in

a good plan to SOW the seed in
a row where the plants are to
stand. but to thin out the seed

removed to make as many addi-

THE BUILDING INDUSTRY

Judging from present indications
there will be a general revival of bus
mess this spring. This is especially
true as regards the building of small
and medium sized dwelling houses.
Many who have the "home nest" bee
in their bonnets will take advantage
of the present comparatively low
prices of materials and get busy at
once. Special attention is called to
the page in this issue devoted to
home building and to the merchants

NEW YORK COTTON
NEW ORLEANS COTTON
By Associated Press

 New Orleans, December 7.-Mlld de- clines persisted in the cotton market today during the great part of the session, being the result of private crop estimate of S,147,000 bales coupled. in the later trading, with eleventh hour liquidation from the long side preparatory to going over the census bureau report on ginning the first thing tomorrow morning The opening was lower and the tlrst decline amounted to to 1S points before enough short covering came on the market to check the downward movement. Toward the middle of the day the market was at itssstrongest, the near months standing unchanged, compared with yesterdays last prices, while the distantlmonths were to points higher January came back to 16.55c In the afternoon the near months weakened and January dropped to 16.S6c, at which level the list showed net losses of to l9 points. The close was to IS points net lower on the day, with January at 16.37c.
 During the second half of the ses- sion some steadiness was derived from reports from Texas telling of slow rains in some sections of the state. which it was said were highly beneficial to grain crops, This was regarded as bullish on cotton because it would keep grain lands from being turned over to cotton later on.
 Opinion seemed to be that the gin ming returns would be around 7,600,- 900 bales which, taken in connection with the high crop estimate of the day, caused a steady, although mod crate, flow of offerings from the long side

 While the open door doctrine was designed to preserve Chinese terri torial and administrative entity" as Hay phrased 1t, and to open all parts of China to the trade of all nations without discrimination, it must be apparent that there was one nation better circumstanced to profit by this throwing open of trade opportunities with 400. 0.000.000 people than were any of the others.
 If Japan had chosen industrial Eng land instead of imperial Germany as her model, immediately she would have bent every energy to the devel- opment of Japanese manufacturers for the Chinese market; and in eX- change for her manufactures. she could have drawn from China raw materials of every description, and without limit. Cultural similarity to the Chinese should have given her salesmen in China a tremendous ad- vantage over those of all white na- tions and this should have led to the Japanese gaining control of the sale of most of China's imports. a control which, in turn, would have made Japan the great entrepot and clear Ing house for eastern Asiatic trade from overseas. just as England is for the overseas trade with northern Flu rope.

LACK OF DEMAND
 STILL AFFECTS THE
 PRICE OF WHEAT
Corn and Oats Were on a See saw, While Provisions Were Unchanged to a
 Setback of 10 Gents
By Associated Press

Chicago, December 7.-Fresh de- clines in the price of wheat took place today largely as a result of lack of demand for cash wheat. The market closed unsettled, 1c to 1 s4e net lower Corn finished A @ 2sc off to Bc ad- vance. Oats unchanged to IA @ $ c down. and provisions unchanged to a setback of 10c.
 Weakness in the wheat market was especially noticeable in the last half of the day when selling of future de- liveries became general because of the cash trade situation. red wheat premiums here being 5e to 7c lower and car of No. 1 Northerns selling at 10c over December as against lie premium the last previous sale. Mean while Kansas mills were reported to be selling their cash wheat because of the poorness of flour trade, and Minneapolis mills were represented as selling December wheat at Kansas City. Such news had a discouraging effect on longs here, and they un- loaded in competition with pit bears. Talk of big bank failure in south Germany counted also as a depressing factor. Word of some export business at the Gulf of Mexico appeared to count but little as an offset. Profit taking by shorts, however, gave the market something of a rally at the last.
 Corn was relatively firm, owing to export demand here and at rural points as well. Oats were dull, and inclined to sag with wheat.
 Packers selling of lard weakened the provision market after slight up- turns had resulted from strength in hog values.

FLEECY STAPLE IS
 HELPED BY GOODS
 SALES YESTERDAY
General Staple List Closed Steady at a Net Decline of 4 to 18 Points on
 the Day
By Associated Press

New York, December 7.=Reports of an improved spot for goods de- mand had steadying influence on the cotton market here today, but failed to stimulate buying, and after selling at 17.27c early, January con tracts eased off to IT .12c. They closed at l7.15c, with the general market closing steady at net de- cline of to IS points.
 The market opened steady at de- cline of 1 point on December, but generally to points higher Oh overnight buying orders. There was scattered southern, local and Wall street selling right after the call, owing to the relatively easy Liver pool cables and crop report from Memphis estimating the yield at S,- 147, ,000 bales, or a little over the av- craze of previous reports. This sent the market about to 16 points be- low last nights closing figures, but prices steadied up again during the middle of the day on reports of better business in goods and of a better demand for spot cotton in the south.
 The buying locally, however. was light, and the market weakened again during the afternoon under scattered realizing or liquidation which was probably promoted by the failure of the Irish agreement to have more stimulating effect in Manchester and Liverpool. Decem- Der sold off to IT 21c and March to 17.12c, making new low ground for the day in the late trading, and the close was only a few points up from the lowest.
 The early reports of a better goods demand were rather vague, but just after the close advices reached the market from Worth street that sales of cloths during the past two days had amounted to fully 100000 pieces and that prices were firmer. There was little buying here by houses with Liverpool and continental con nections during the morning. put general business was very qulet during the entire day, and traders seemed to be waiting for the ginning report which Is due at the opening tomorrow.

Priuate Reports Show Cotton Dull, While
 Stocks Hold We'll
SHANNON & CO.'S LETTER

New York, December (Special.) ) Such a cotton market as that of today offers no opportunity for com ment. Trading has been lifeless and totally devoid of feature or interest. The forthcoming reports may stir the market into life once more, but it looks as if statistics are playing very little part in determining prices as yet, and the only real stimulus will be afforded by better advices regard ing trade
 Good friends in the local dry goods market tell us that there has been a real improvement in business and that according to their experience goods are moving in fair volume with the prospect for a larger turnover after the turn of the year.
 We continue to favor purchases on March or May on good setbacks for eventually higher prices.
 The opening of stocks was strong with Studebaker and some of the lower priced oil stocks the feature, and until the last hour the market held well. The selling in the last part of the session had all the ear marks of further increasings of the short interest and d bear raid. The excuse given was a speech made by MT Vanderbilt on the European sit uation at luncheon here today. which was said to be pessimistic, but as we have not heard the same we cannot comment on it further than the rumor The short interest has been very large and they have been fighting the advance all along and as we have said. today's late selling does not look very powerful nor yet very important.-Post& & Flagg.

STOCKS LOST AN EARLY ADVANCE.
 IN LATE TRADING
Most of Days Demand Loans Were Placed at 4 1-2 Per Cent on Liberal
 Offerings
By Associated Press

New York, December 7.-Bullish sentiment was uppermost during the first half of today's very active stock exchange session. but prices experf- epced a sharp reversal later, when pressure against rails. equipments. oils and motors was accomplished by a sudden rise of call money rates to 5l@ per cent.
 Advices from Washington, which included the encouraging survey of general business and industrial con ditions by the department of com ncrce, contributed largely to the early advance, which embraced an unusual assortment of industrial and special shares.
 There were a few prominent ex- captions to the higher trend. notably St Paul common and preferred. which were heavy under reports af- feeting the company's ability to meet impending extensive maturities.
 Pressure against mail order, ship ping, high grade tobacco, secondary steel and sugar stocks, proceeded mainly from professional sources. Those issues were regarded as more or less vulnerable because Of back ward conditions in their respective lines.
 Most of the days demand loans were placed at Az per cent on lib- eral offerings, in which the local re- serves of interior banks were freely drawn upon. More 30 and 60-day loans were made at 4ss per cent, but offerings for longer periods were scant.
 Except the Dutch rate. which con- tinued to strengthen. foreign ex- changes reacted in varying degree from yesterdays substantial ad- vance. Sterling lost 1iac and virtu- ally all continental bills were lower by to almost 15 points, central European quotations also easing.
 Liberty issues and most other &C., tive bonds gave away to further profit taking, but few of the re- gently reorganized rails were strong Internationals were mixed, closing at moderate gains and losses. Total sales, par value, s1s,25o,Ooo.

IN A KHEDiyE,s coURr

Ambassador Morgenthau describes as follows a visit to the Khedive of Egypt in the Worlds Work, and the painfully polite return call:
 At II o'clock the Khedive's car rage arrived to take me to the palace for my official call. Policemen were posted at every cross street along the entire route, So as to give us an uninterrupted right of way and to give us proper recognition. I was oelighted with my conference with the Khedive. He proved to be a thoroughly up-to- date. modern, en- terprising business man without any trilis, or assumption of airs. He met me at the door of the reception room. led me to sofa, sat down next to me. and while sipping the inevitable Turkish coffee. talked to me for about half an hour about some Of his in = vestments in Turkey, and told me of his intention to occupy his summer residence on the Bosphorus at Yenf- keuy where I also had taken summer quarters. He then said that he re- gretted exceedingly that. before he had learned of my impending visit. he had made an appointment which would require him to leave town that afternoon, and he asked in conse- quence, if he might not return my visit that same day. I told him that he reminded me of Japanese stu dent who, after paying two hour afternoon call on a lady in Boston. and receiving from her when he left polite invitation to call arain. walked around the block three times. and paid her a. second visit. The khedive laughed heartily. and though l assured him that I would gladly waive the formality which required him to return my visit, he insisted that he wished to continue the con versation. and would call later in the day.
 Consequently. that same afternoon. the Khedive returned my call at the consular agency, continuing the con versation as though there had been no Interruption

Birmingham, December 7-Iiver- pool was s to 10 points below due with light sales at 5000 bales this morning, the foreign market sending over cables stating futures were dull with very small business due to local liquidation, execution of straddle sell ing orders and poor support from leading bull interests.
 Our markets opened unchanged to 10 points down and ruled very quiet during the session. fluctuations were very narrow. showing the market awaits further developments, tho ginning report tomorrow and the croD estimate by the government Monday. and mainly the crop estimate. Spot demand was slightly better in some sections. Dallas wired there was a distinctly better demand there for spots and a better class of inquiry from all quarters. Athens Ga, re- ported the same condition there
 The Memphis Commercial Appeal estimates the crop at S.147.O0O. the largest private estimate yet received by us. However. it had no bearish effect upon values. The government report on ginnings up to December i will be issued at 9 a. m tomorrow Around 7,600,000 is expected and un- less it is distinctly one way or the other from these figures no material change is expected in the market. The general situation in the markets is unchanged from the last few days. In our opinion we are building a foun- dation for good bull market before many days and advise buying around these levels.-S.

no sales were reported. Old crop Cubas were quoted at 2hc cost and freight, by the committee, equal to 411c for centrifugal, but new crop Cubas are offered rather more freely at 1-16c, cost and freight, equal to S.67c for centrifugal.
 There was a steadier feeling in raw sugar futures early and prices ad- Vanced to 1 to 3 points on some of the active positions on covering and trade buying, but near the close there was selling by commission houses and prices eased off, closing 1 point high CT to lower. January and March closed at 211c; May 2.21c and July 2.33c.
 The market for refined was easier and prices were reduced 10 points by the leading refiners to the basis of 5.20c for fine granulated. No i'm provement was noted in the demand
