MAIL ROUTES
INSPECTOR HERE LOOKING
OVER GROUND
Prospect in View of Establish
iEg Two New Mail Routes for
the Mason District.

Postoffice Inspector Hickman and
Postmaster Charles Larson spent two
days during the past week going
over the routes of the proposed new
postal routes leading out of the Ma
son post office, and there seems to be
good prospects that the new routes
will be established in the near fu-
ture.
The application for these new
routes were made some time ago
and were held up pending an investi-
CATION of the territory and the num-
Der of patrons to be served, and
now that this information has gone
in and the proposed routes have been
inspected it is hoped that some ac-
ton will be taken in the near future.
Thisy would give the Mason dis
trict four rural routes. With the
addition of the new routes some ter
ritoy would be taken from each of
the old routes, while much new ter
ritory would be added.
Mr.. Hickman laid out Route l out
of the Mason territory about Is years
ago and he was greatly impressed
with the rapid development which
has been going on,in this vicinity.

the distraction of being recognized as
one of the big men of southern
Nevada. He has been great fac
tor in the development of that Sec
ton of Nevada and has been pre-

NEW ORLEANS COTTON


 New Orleans, January 1S.-More &C., tiYfty in the spot department gave the cotton market very steady tone to- day and put prices up for small gains. Trading seemed to be restricted by the nearness of the last of the semi monthly ginning reports of the sea- son. From declines of ? to points on the opening there was rise of levels to 15 points higher than the close of yesterday, the market finally closing net unchanged to 4 points up. After trading down to 16.54c March rose to 16.75c and closed at 16.64c.
 The early declines were due to poor cables. but better demand for con- tracts was almost immediately met as the result of reports of a consid- erable quantity of cotton being sold after hours yesterday In the spot mar ket here. points In Texas wired in telling of an improved inquiry at a higher basis. especially for the lower grades, and interest in the spot situa- tion was further heightened by news of the forward sale to Czecho- S O . vakia of 10000 bales by a local spot concern.
 Price movements were rapid within narrow range and the market was unsettled by private ginning esti- mates which, in the early part of the day. were said to indicate an output for the last period of 10000 bales, while later on 1t was said that private returns indicated only 10000. In the late trading steadirNss was regained by cablegrams from Bremen to local spot people counting the Bremen stock of American cotton afloat and ashore at only 205.000 bales against 415,000 on November l.

An Upward Tendency Shown tn Wheat Pit
 On Demand Outlook
By Associated Press

Chicago, January 1s.-Wiieat prices showed an upward tendency today chiefly as result of prospective bet ter European demand. together with talk of green bugs in Texas, Okla homa and Kansas. The market closed unsettled at the same as yesterdays finish at 1ac higher, with May s1.121s to $1.12Ss and July st.009s to St,00]s. Corn gained lac to Is O l4c; oats fin ished unchanged to 4 c up, and pro- visions at 1ac decline to a like ad- vance.
 Wheat averaged higher throughout the day except for brief period shortly after the opening. The main influence was that liberal quantity of wheat on ocean passage and other amounts available for deferred ship ment was said to be changing hands. Gossip was also current that Ger many and Portugal were acquiring considerable wheat, most of 1t, how ever, from Argentina.
 Reports of the presence of green bugs in the southwest attracted fair attention, but the effect of the news was lessened by assertions that it was too early for damage to develop. Notice that a bill had been introduced in Congress proposing to fix mini mum price of s1.50 bushel for wheat was received but apparently failed to inspire much, If any, buying.
 Corn and oats paralleled the action of wheat. Exporters were after corn and took 250,000 bushels here.
 In the provisions market packers selling nuilified an advance which had been caused by an upturn in the value of hogs.

REPORTSOF BETTER
 SPOT DEMAND LED
 10 COTTON RALLIES
General Staple List Closed Very Steady at a Decline of Seven Points on
 January
By Associnted Press

New York, January 1S.-ReportS Of better spot demand led to rallies in the cotton market during today's early trading but scattered southern selling was encountered around 17.eSc for March and the price broke to 17.46c during the middle of ths day. Later trading was very quiet but the market held fairly steady, with March closing at 17.64c compared with 17.56c the previous day. The general market closed very steady at decline of points on January, but to points higher on other months, except for April which was 70 points net higher
 The market opened steady at a decline of IA points to an advance of one point, January being relatively weak owing to the circulation of no- tices which were estimated at 1,S00 bales. The scattering near month liquidation was pretty well taken right after the call with January selling up to 17.75c and May to 17.36c during the middle of the morning, or about two to 15 points net higher. Firmer late cables from Liverpool and reports that a better spot de- mand was developing in some of the southern markets were factors on this advance but the effect of the improvement in the spot news was offset by the appearance of scat tered southern selling here on the advance. This eased the market off later in the morning and the lowest prices of the day were reached around midday with January selling at 17.4Sc or 25 points net lower, while later months showed net losses of to 10 points with May selling at 1z15c.
 The January notices were said to be still circulating but trading be- came very quiet at the decline and last prices were 12 to IS points up from the lowest on covering. Trade interests were credited with buying on the dips again today, and advices received here from New Orleans said that 10000 bales had been sold out of stock there for export to Czecno Slovakia. Rumors that private re- turns showed a ginning of 14.000 bales for the first half of January were denied. Port receipts today, 16.702. U. s. port stock 1257,e11. Exports today 75S6, making 3,196,3S2 so far this season.

0reensboro. January 1s.-(special )
 Some days ago a mild furry was caused by the fact that those boring for water on the W. E. Beckham plaes near Moundville thought they were about to strike oil. The good news was telephoned to all the neighboring towns. and visions of wealth floated before the eyes o< every man concerned. But 1t turns out that the whole thing was a hoax deliberately perpetrated by a negro, who poured quart or gasoline Into the hole. When the drill came up bearing the unmistakable odor, when a string dipped into 1t readily ig- nited. men simply went wild, and the drill was thrust down so hurriedly that it was stuck tight, and work was delayed for some time. In the meantime the gasoline evaporated
 and nothing but good. pure water was struck when the work was finally resumed.
