 Increased receipts and the mild weather is seaid to have caused the break. Today's prices are less than half those at this time last year. and from % 10 9 cents lower than those q month ago.

United States Valuation Would Correct Tariff Evils
 -Jndge De Fries

Americas markets being the best, its prices the highest and its money at par, this country has become the goal of all regenerating trade, Judge Marion De Nries, of the United States Court of Customs Appeals, says in a statement just issued in favor of the new Fordney Tariff Bill.
 National self preservation, in that status, primarily demands, plenary defense of our markets against being made the dumping grounds of the worlds products of cheap labor and production, augmented by extreme currency depreciation.
 One needs to travel but little to be taught the distress and dire need. of our manufacturers, producers and laborers by the vacant shops, the smokeless stacks and hopeless faces of our workmen, where before were the hum of activity and the smile of contentment.
 Why? We turn to the morning paper. Every day is printed there the reason why. We read in one column, for example, that q cut of 20 per cent has been made in agricultural imple- ments, in another that four and one half million of our laborers are out of employment, while in another column you read an official report to the De- partment of Commerce that the great krupp plants of Germany, the pre- war output of and workmen in whish contributed more to the world calam- ity and human suffering than any like institution in history now em- ployes 90,000 men as against 8l,000 men prior to the war; that they are contcntcd and reasonably paid; that the daily output of agricultural and varied products of that institution Is greater than i'll history.
 Upon every hand we find in our land that to-day our goods are being driven from our markets. our factor ies closed, our farms impoverished and our laborerS thrown into idlencss by tie cheap productions of foreign countries which are hourly being dumped into this country. Three years ago tie war closed. Almost every great commercial nation of thc world save the GH'ted States las put up dse tariff barriers against this deluee of cheap foreign goods. OSto- Der lst free trade England raised her duties B l/3es on six thousand articles. Previously she provided spe- cial duts against German goods of so per cent, and a depreciated curren- cy provision of $ per cent.
 "The question now whether the import duties levied by the United States sEa'l he calculated upon for eign or American valuation basis IS perhaps the most important import tariff issue seriously considered by the Congress since 1853.
 "Thc existing foreign valuation system is without Goubt the weakest

WEEKLY REVIEW OF
 THE COTTON TRADE
Trend Is Lower, And Prices Fall Off Ninety Seven to 122
 Points.

New Orleans, Jan. S.-The trend was lower i'll the cotton market this last week. the high prices being reached on the opening session while the lowest levels were reached toward the end. From advance of of 10 to 15 points over the close of the preceding week prices fell to levels 97 to 122 points under March traded up to 1850 and then fell to 16.93. The close was at net losses of 74 to S3 points with March at 17.32 In the spot department mid ding lost 90 points, closing at 1723, which compared with HOO cents as the closing price a year ago
 Unfavorable financial developments, both on this side of the water and ill Europe. furnished much of the selling pressure In the early trading the bank troubles at Chicago were the main influence. the cloth failure at Manchester caused selling in the later sessions while toward the close the stock market difficulties in Italy had their effect although the closing ses- sion of the week had q much steadier tone because of messages from Italy stating that the troubles had been smoothed over and that the Stock EN- changes would resume trading next week
 The statistics of the week were very bullish but had little effect because the attention of the trade was so taken up by matters outside the cotton in drStry itself. The export movement bnlged across the three million bale mark because of the large shipments of the week. mill takings were 310,0oo bales. against 274.000 last week and 297 ,OOO this weel, last year, while the wis hle supply of American cotton de creased 74.579 bales against an in crease this week last year of 15.S62 and q decrease this week two years ago of 1S.37G. At the end of tie week the worlds visible supply of American cotton was 4,20I35S bales against 4490.552 year ago and 4,435, 4S2 two years ago.
 Considerable interest was taken in the ginning situation wh ch promises to= be a dominating influence during the week to come because of the report from the Census Bureau due on the opening Tuesday. carrying the crop down to the first of January. The trade expects something less than S. OO0.0 .00O bales as the total ginned. Dur ing the week a private bureau report placed the total at 7920,00 bales in- dicatng an output for the eighth per iod of but 127,000 bales against 149.- GOO during the seventh period. During the eighth ginning period last year the production was G7S.3S5 bales. while ? years ago it was 612,274

The High School decided to have
a little Christmas celebration of its

each student bought n little gift for
someone else in the high school,
plans being made s. that each one
received a gift. AS no one was per

five cents for the gift. the gifts were
naturally of the humorous variety
rather than costly. Everyone en-

An Interesting Rescript

An interesting rcs2lipt has just
been received from the law court in
the York county case of Albert NJ.
Wentworth VS.. William L. Gerrish
in which the verdict for the plaintiff
in S7,SSS.33 is upheld and q motion
for new trial by the defendant is
overruled. The rescript follows:
Albert NJ. Wentworth VS.. William
l.. Gerrish.
York county. Per Curiam: The
declaration in this cause contains two
county alleging criminal CONVERSE
ton with plaintiffs wife and a third
count charging defendant with alien
wife. The jury found a verdict for
the plaintiff and assessed damages in
the sum of s7,SSS.33.
The case is before us on general
motion for new trial, with especial
attach upon the amount of the YER
dict.
We have examined the record care
fully. That a verdict for the plain
tiff is the only verdict which could
be found under all the testimony is
our firm conviction. But the question
of damages is as much within the
realm of the jury's deciding right as
the question of liability. The entire
charge of the presiding justice is
made part of the report, and exami-
ma ton of that charge shows the law
relating to both compensatory and,

xamplary damages to have bee,

exemplary damages to have been
given with unusual clarity and COM
pleteness. No exceptions thereto were
taken.
AS bearing upon the question. of
wealth of the respondent and its eff
feet upon the amount of exemplary
damages. there is no satisfactory evil
dence. The defendant testified as to
his business and that he had, roughly
speaking, an equity in perhaps a doz-
en- houses. How great that equity
might be does appear. In Audibert VS..
Michaud. 119 Maine, 259, case of
criminal conversation and alienation
of affections, where a verdict for
$1,000 was rendered, this court sus-
tanned the verdict, saying: 1T was
for them tthe jury) to say how much
the PLAINTIFF should recover for a
stolen wife and a broken home" 1t
is urged by the defendant that the
plaintiffs own conduct was largely if
not wholly the cause of the loss of
his wife's affections, but all these
questions of fact were passed upon
and decided by the jury who saw
the witnesses and heard them testi-
fy. We do not feel that we should
disturb their finding either upon the
question Of liability or amount Of
damages.

Office. those being present being:
Principals w. G. Mallctt of Farming
ton; ". +. Russell of Gorham; VIM.

Hall Of CaStinc.
Or. Thomas said after the confer
ence that the matters discussed was
chiefly over the general work of the
coming summer schools, which will
open on Monday. July 10 and con-
tinre five weeks, six days per week.
The faculties will have from seven to
10 members. according to tie enroll
mcnts and will include some noted
educators as well as our own skilled
teachers in charge. The date of OPEN
ing was put off week. on account of
the sessions of the National Educa-
'Ion association during the first week
of July in Boston. All indications
point to a large attendance and the
housing facilities problem is giving
some concern.
The conference also took up the
proposition of change in the
courses OF study in the Normal
schools in order to keep up with and
meet the demands of the times and
looking toward Junior college work,
a program that would give a Normal
school student two years of college,
If he or she wished to remain at the
schools.
Economy in the use of coal was
discussed and the possible change in
the style of CRATES used in the fur
naces, to permit the use Of soft coal
instead of hard.
