Geo. Briggs was called upon 10

10th and 2it at which time there
will be lectures OF interest TO both

so arranged that II will be Of inter-

real community meeting Of urban

The meeting was then turned over
TO Rotarian Sensabaugh; chairman
Of the entertainment committee. You
know Sensa always has something

COTTON HIGHER AND
STEADY AT CLOSING
Final Prices Show Advance of
8 to 13 Points Net-Trad-
ing Generally Dull.

The cotton market was steady yester-
day and about 10 points net higher after
selling off some to IS points in Its
session. Business was generally dull,
which was largely due to many opera
tors indisposition to make new commit
ments before the extended week and
toliday which will include Lincoln's
Bigrnday. Only one short two hour ses-
sion to-day remains. therefore. for
evening up of commitments. The mar
ket closed steady, Q to 13 points net
higher.
Considering lower cables from Liver
nool. the renewed political disturbances
in India. which affected the English
markets position, and the unfavorable
mill situation In the East, the market
acted very well, absorbing enough sell
ing to convince many weakened longs
that it was not technically weak. Suf-
ficient short covering was brought out
TO emphasize the theory that in the last
SIX weeks OF pcssimism a good sized
Ehort interest was built up.
1t was difficult to find new factors in
the general situation. Weekly statistics
We're pronounced bearish by certain
traders because spinners' takings were
only 11.0C0 bales in contrast to $4,000
week earlier and 252,000 In the corre-
spending 1921 week. The worlds visible
supply Of cotton was estimated as g.
S5l. $40 bales. a decrease OF 3S,001 for the
week in contrast to the worlds visible
e,7s7,sS4 bales at this time a year ago.
Preliminary reports from Fall River
placed its print cloth sales for the week
ended with last night at about 100000
pieces The cloth markets tone re-
manned easy and business rather slow,
due to the labor situation In New Eng
land mills. According to Farwell of
Chicago, wholesale dry goods distribu-
ton OF the last week compared favor
ably with that OF the last previous week.
There was greater demand for piece
goods. -
The local spot market was quiet and
steady and advanced points for mid
ding to 1740 cents pound. There were
no spot sales in the local market.

WHEAT is UP AGAIN,

CHICAGO, Feb. 1o.-Cnfavorable con-
ditlons for the domestic winter crop. to-
gether with higher quotations at Liver

Corn advanced &c. 10 1Ac@1%c. oats

cents.
With high winds reported in Kansas,
a cold wave predicted and no noisturel
looked for. a majority of wheat traders
expected higher prices. Special signif-
cdnce, too, wac attached TO fresh gains
in values at Liverpool In particular. as
the Liverpool market had already made
a straightaway advance OF rs cents as
against l6 cents here reduction or
$1,000 900 bushels I'm current estimates
of the Argentine crop surplus also slim
ulated buying. One authority contended
that If Argentina, Australia and Canada
were able to move their entire remaining
surplus in the present crop year the
could supply only 261, 100000. against
indicated world requirements of 35O,O00,-
600 bushels. Heavy profit taking sales
on the upturn led TO a moderate setback
from the top.
Word OF serious damage TO the corn
crop in Argentina was the chief factor
producing higher prices here for corn.
Changes in oats were governed mainly
by the action OF the corn market.
Provisions ascended with hogs and
grain.
