SAME AMLESS,
DR|F TING MARKET
Selling for Cash to Establish
Losses Was an Outstand-
ing Feature

New York, Dec. 30r-About the only
difference in the operations of today's 8
stock market from those of the immedi-
ate preceding sessions vas the exten =
sive selling for cash, representing be-
lated sales to establish Losses for income
tax purposes. This form of liquidation
was without serious effect upon prices,
although the ina jority of tle operations
were made from a to 9s under the
quotations Of the regular transactions.
The general list showed little in the
way of trend, and most OF the repre-.
sentative issues of both the industrial
and rail divisions dragged sluggishiy
within narrow limits, ltSwus, how
ever. very strongly an industrial mar
ket. :,
The Sears Roebuck incident supplied
about the only bit of excitement OF the
day. The action Of the president OF
the company in taking over the Chi-
cago real estate at its appraised value
/ of SIG. 900 600, and making donation
of 30, 900 shares Of it's common stock
to the company under the provision II
should not be sold at less tran par,
only naturally came in for widespread
discussion in market circles. Inc ac-
ton relieves the company from con-
dition of financial stringency In which
| t had apparently been, and according tN
official statements, makes Sre assets
more than equal to the Liabilities, -
Guiding the item Of capital stock. The
naGnanimous and unexpected action
of the company's executive caught a
GOOD sized short interest CLEARLY nap
sing, There was q hasty rush to cover
on the part of the more nervous shorts
in the early trading, running the COM
mon up more than . points and the
preferred more than D.
Another movement which came In for
considerable attention because 1t was
believed to have an important bearing
upon the immediate future ar the cop
per industry was the 2-point nd
vance in Montana Power. This was
made on the announcement that several
Of the copper mining companies IN the
! Montana district would resume opera :
| tIons next month which, is is under
stood. included the Anaconda Mining
! Company. 1t will be, of coz rse, n good
many months before any Of the copper
thus mined will reach the red meta
market. The fact, however, that the
managers Of the larger protucing com
panies were ready to resume operations
was accepted az proof that the outlooE
for 1922 for the copper industry was
much better than it had bo2n this year
International Paper and Woolwortl
we're among the firmest of the special
ties. Interest among the rails ant
equipments was confined to Lacka
wanna, Atchison and American Loco

stocks also came in for attention, bu

within narrow limits. Osriously, casl
transactions in some of the active stock
we're larger than those made in the reg
liar way.

LOCAL DEALINGS
WELL DISTRIBUTED
Price Variations Were unimpor-
tant-Expansion Of the Odd
Lot Transactions ,

The unusually wide distribution OF
the dealings, especially in the odd lot
transactions, gave the local market a
decided broadening aspect today, but 1t
really was a very narrow affair. The
eleventh hour rush to establish losses
through the cash sales was next to being
beyond understanding. There had been
numerous opportunities to make these
operations in the regular way, and In
q number of instances at more nd-
vantageous prices. Evidently there was
some very good reason.
In so far as the purely local list was
concerned the trading lacked individual
feature. There was the same feeding
out Of the Pennsylvania Railroad with
that stock dipping to 32a, or within
fraction Of the bottom price Of the year.
There was little wider trade In 'Phila-
delphia Rapid Transit, with the price
sustained at 1875. U. G. I. common
ex dividend of soc a share yielded to
3S&, as against 40, the final sale yes
terday, but on cash sales brought 4ON.

Philadelphia Electric shares were frac,,
tionally higher. American Stores and
Electric Storage Battery went through
the morning without transaction.

ELDER w. T. EVERETTE is
CLAIMED BY DEATH AFTER
LONG AND USEFUL LIFE.

Elder w. T. Everette, one of the
best known and most highly esteemed
citizens of Terrell county, died at his
home three miles south of Dawson on
Thursday, September LIST, after an i'll
ness of severaltweeks. The funeral SER
vice at Chickasawhatchee church,

of seventeen he enlisted in the war be-
tween the states, in which he had
many thrilling experiences, being
wounded while in the thick of battle,
He was also captured and held pris-
oner for a time, but was later exchang-
ed. Mr.. Everette was a true soldier,
and always loyal to the Confederate

married to Mrs. Amanda Bush, and
three children were born to them. One

ago, the only one surviving being Mr..
J. F. Everette, of this county.
Elder Everette joined the Primitive
Baptist church in June, 1874, entered
the ministry in 1875, and was ordain-
ed in 1876. He was always active in
good works, and faithful in every re-
quirement of his church, standing firm
for what he believed to be right. He
served from three to five churches I'M
til recently, when i'll health made it
impossible for him to engage in any
kind of work
The deceased leaves his widow, one
son, ten grandchildren, one great
grandchild and many relatives and
friends to sorrow over his passing
away. He was truly good man, and
was widely known and beloved for his
sterling qualities.

CENSUS DATA FOR
TERRELL COUNTY
POPULATION OF THE SEVER
AL MILITIA DISTRICTS AND
INCORPORATED TOWNS.

A detailed report of the fourteenth
census Of the United\ States covering
counties, municipalities and militia dis
tricts has been received by The News.
According to these statistics-the
census OF 1920-Terrell countys land
area is 322 square miles, and the popu-
alton is 1901 as compared with IT,
COS in 1910, a loss of 2,402 or 100
per cent. The population per square
mile is 900, and the rural population
is 50 per square mile. In 1910 the popu-
lation of the county was 1923, in 1890
it was 14500, in 1880 it was l0,45l, and
in 1860 it was 6,232.
Population of Districts.
The Brentwood and Parrot militia
districts are the only ones that increas-
ed in population from 1910 to 1920.
The census gives the Brentwood dis
trict, including Brentwood town, a pop
uation in 1920 of 1900 as compared
with 2,849 in 1910, a gain of 14l. The
population of Parrott district, includ-
ing Parrot town, is 1,716. This is a
gain of 3l8 SINCE the census of 1910,
when there were 1893 people in the
district.
The Dawson district, including the
city of Dawson, has 6,003 inhabitants,
loss of 1888 since the census of 1920,
when the population was reported as
being 7,141. The Third district, includ-
ing Herod town, has a population of
! sos as compared with LIZ in 1920,
loco &c 40 Tho DISTRICT
Guiding Sasser town, shows loss in
the past ten years of 534; The populsa--
Ition of this district in 1920 was 2,477
and in 1910 it was 3,011. The Twelfth
district has population OF 2,433, which
is 289 less than it was in 1910, the CEN
sus that year reporting 2,722. The
Doverel district shows the largest loss
of any, its population having decreas-
ed from 1875 in 1910 to 900 in 1920,
loss of $40. This is accounted for,
however, by fact that considerable ter
ritory was taken from this district and
made part of the new Graves district.
The Graves district, which was estab-
lshed since the census of 1910, has a
population of 1901 The New Elev-
enth, which is the smallest district in
the county, has a population of only

323 since 1910, when it was 1897. Sas-
ser has lost 81, the inhabitants of the

COTTON MARKET n
CONTINUES FIRM
INCREASE OF $50 A BALE IN
TWO WEEKS, AND SOME PRE-
DICT HIGHER PRICES.

Spot cotton has climbed about $50
a bale since the season opened, and
good middling was quoted in Dawson
this morning at 1877 cents a pound,
Receipts of new cotton at the local
warehouses are 200 bales.
Much of the cotton is being held for
higher prices, and some dealers and
others are inclined to believe that it
will go to 20 cents in view of the short
crop and increasing demand.
Bankers and business men discount
the bullish predictions regarding the
price of cotton, and in this case they
have not varied from their established
policy of conservatism, yet the feeling
seems to be that conditions of supply
and demand inevitably must force a
substantial rise in the south's great
commodity
A Short Crop.
Government crop reports, supple
Imented by private condition reports
obtained by many reliable concerns,
