Cotton Advances
After Early Drop;
New Low for March
Deliveries for Next Month
Sell Down to 1910 Before
Recovery; British Policy
ON Excess Profits a Factor

Contracts for March delivery sold at
new low record for the season in the
cotton market here yesterday. but early
declines were followed by rallies, with
the close steady, at net advance of %
to 80 points.
The early break carried March off to
1910, compared with 1850, the high
price toucned on the January rally, and
1916, the previous low record reached
on the break OF late December. Later
March sold up to 1857 and closed at
13.40, compared with 1915, the close Of
the previous day.
Notwithstanding the failure Of Liver
pool to hold Its early advance, the British
excess pro6t tax news was considered n
favorable feature and probably prompted
the disposition Of recent sellers TO taxa
profits
Southern spot markets az officially re-
ported were unchanged To so points higher.
The advances were reported in the rela-
lively weak Southwestern markets, and
Houston showed sales of 2,a03 bales at an
advance of % points to 1895 for middling,
while Dallas sales were 2,150 bales, at
1889 for nliddling. The local market for
spot cotton was quiet and 25 points higher,
ar 1896; no sales were reported.

Answer-National Conduit and Cable

lyn Edison rs at 97%s, 1870; Great Western
Power Company IS at S7ls, 1919; Adron-

.Answer-Good power company bonds
are entitled to high ratings. In most
cases they are located in growing ter
ritory and earnings have been good.
All the bonds yon name are of good

D. & II. and American Tobacco

Question--Reallzing that common gtooks
are sensitive to earnings, would IKE your
opinion as one more fully informed on the
following stocks aa "A business mans in
vestnent." OF the railroad stocks is not
Leiaware & Hudson as sound as any7 1ts
dividend record seems O. r., even through
the last few years OF turmoil and railroad
troubles. Do you regard It as we'll man
aged at present? Do you regard American
Tobacco we'll managed? Do you re-
gard the dividend scrip payments as
weakness or merely the floating Of
nofders? Do you consider the authorized
increase In D stock to $10o coo, coo a weak
ness or ia II warranted by the expansion
or business? In the absence of O detailed
report Oh American Tobacco for 1890 /
would like to know IL tho affairs OF the
company are In Al condition at present
ana whether the September cut In diyi-
dend was explained as due to conservation
or heavy falling off OF business. In
either and have you others IN ,na ssainss srss
you would prefer for my purpose p
Answer-Delawares & Hudson is a
good stock of its class. We regard
the company as weil managed. and
although earnings have proved disap-
pointing recently it Is because there
has been general falling off in busi-
ness. The company has ether interests
outside it's railroad, such as large coal
properties. We regard the stock as n
fair investment for g business man.
The American Tobacco Company ap-
pears to be a we'll managed corpora
ton. The payment Of dividends in
scrip is due to the fact that the man
agement believes cash should be con-
served and that the outlook is prom
ising enough to warrant payments in
sach form. We do not regard the issu-
ance Of additional stock as a weak
ness. Most corporations have been in
need Of additional working capital. As
the company reports it's income account
but once year we are unable to tell
what current earnings are. We regard
the stock as somewhat speculative, be-
cause it is sensitive to earnings and
other developments. However, for a.
! business man we regard il as q very
fair investment. The dividend rate
was cut to conform to the increased
! Capitalization.

UNSECTARIAN AIDS
APPEAL.

The Unsectarian Aid must
again appeal to the public fol-
the Christmas donations tC
make the Riddles happy, and
baskets for the grown-ups, with
a good dinner and other things
for comfort.
These baskets are being sent
out this year for the thirty-sec-
ond time. What a record thir-
ty-two years, laboring in the
Vineyard of the Master, who
said Il will not always be with
you, but the poor you shall al
ways have"
We are the oldest charitable
society in Louisiana, the one in
New Orleans going into its
twenty-fifth year.
Another thing friends, dona-
tons given to the organization
go to the poor, not one cent of
expense or salary. We believe
we can say, We are the only or
ganization in our State run
along these lines.
Our finances are depleted
and without the same generous
help given us in the past, we
must let the Christmas iOy for
the children go.
Our regular work too will
have to be cut down, and we
are now running on the closest
margin possible, to do any
good to those who cannot help
themselves. Like this kind of
work should be done, it is all
done so quietly, that few except
the active members knew just
how much is being done.
Our committee for receiving
donations this year will be:
Mesdames Jerry Taylor, D. A.
Dimitry. Jack Lamperez, R. D.
Reynolds, Tom Ashley, Albert
Estorge, ]. w. Sanders, r. w.
Frame, Chas. Provost, Misses
