GET 175 GALLONS WHERE THREE SUPPOSED TO BE

Searching among the weeds and underbrush for three gallons of whisky reported hidden near Wal ker's Chapel, seven miles out on the Lewisburg road. Deputy Sheriffs J. B. Cole and H. c. Cole stumbled upon 175 gallons of liquor concealed beneath a pile of underbrush, where the three gallons wos supposed to be, Sunday night about 9 o'clock.
 George Redd and Clyde Beck, white men, who, according to the of ficers, were sitting in a Ford car near where tho liquor car was found were arrested as owners of the whisky. They furnished bond at the county jail and were released from custody.
 The officers stated that the liquor would have been passed unnoticed If J. B. Cole had not tripped over one of the cans. Upon looking backward, the stumbler detected the top of one of the cans glstening in the rain, which was quickly followed by the discovery of the entire lot.
 Remus Person, negro, was arrested by Deputies Wall and Hines a few miles out on the Pump House road Sunday night. while, it is alleged, he was transporting five gallons of whisky into Birmingham in a Ford car. Person was charged with violat- ing the prohibition law and was held at the county jail in default of $500 bond.

is in these channels that trading has occurred.
 Activity has been confined chiefly to the lower grades. Prices generally for extra staple cotton, strict mid ding in grade and color, fob. New Bedford and classed as to a very ex- acting standard of stapling, are as follows:
 1lb inch, 221k to 33h cents.
 3-16-inch, 221a to 341a cents.
 IA inch, 35h to 36A cents.
 5-16-inch, 3715 cents upward.
 Pima cotton has shown a revival in activity. Despite an easing of prices in Egyptians, there has been little trading in the last few days
 Officers of the United Textile Workers say they are completely satisfied with the organization work they are conducting in the south and in Fall River and New Bedford, Mass. So far, however, their activ- ity has not reached the strike stage In the south the union has been par ticularly active in North Carolina where it is trying to rebuild it's old fields. Mills owned by northern companies are being made an es- pecial object in the organization drive.
 The labor situation in the cotton growing belt is causing concern. The American Cotton association esti- mates the shortage of farm labor at 21 per cent. This shortage is said to be caused largely by the migra- tion of negroes to the north.

 FEATURE IF WEEK IN COTTON MARKET
Strength of Spots Main SuS- taining Influence Political News Is Favorable
 at Close

NEW ORLEANS, Feb. 11.-Con- siderable irregularity was shown by the cotton market last week as result of the drawing apart of the old and the new crop months, the latter being held down from making full response to bullish cd crop conditions because of the continued favorable weather over the belt. On the close the active positions were 42 points higher [ 13 points lower than the close of the preceding week. at the highest levels thu. were 30 to 79 points ovt. tL9 preceding weeks -3S to 37 points.
 March trade as low a. 24.75 as high as 2S.57 and closed at zS.20. In the spot depai tment price. gained 90 points O. mtddling, whish closed at 2S.50 against 1925 on tho close of this week last year.
 The strength of spots was the main sustaining influence of the week and during the greater part of the time spots were at premium over con- tracts. Increasing the effect of
 good spot demand and slender off,
 ferings were favorable trace ;rcounts and fairly good business in the
 cloth markets of this country. At tho end of the week, especially there
 were reports of heavy trading in
 print cloths. Political news from
 abroad held the market down at
 times, but just on the close was &C., cepted as being more favorable.
 The cold and wet weather of the
 week was held to be extremely favor able in connection With new crop, although some traders pointed out that some sections of t,.e belt were beginning to complain lnat the wet weather was becoming too prolonged and was beginning to interfere with
 new crop preparations. The rains and cold weather interfered with plantir. ; in the very earliest section O. the belt and more rain during tn week
 to come would probably cause real complaints. Owing to the observance of Lincoln's birthday on Monday and Mardi Gras on Tuesday, t!-is market will not opeE next week until We'd

FOREIGN COMMERCE OF
 AMERICA MUCH BIGGER

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-The for eign commerce of the United States increased more than 100000 tons In 1922 as compared with 1921. but the tonnage carried in American ships decreased from 49 per cent of the total in 1921 to 471a per cent in 1922. while in the overseas general cargo, less than one third of the tonnage was carried under the American flag. according to survey made pub lie today by the shipping board.

 In 1922 privately owned American vessels carried IT per cent of our overseas tonnage.
 Export commerce in the last year. exclusive of that moved upon the Great Lakes, declined 5,500,00O tons according to the report, while the import tonnage increased almost lotUVu,JoU tons. The decrease in eX port tonnage is attributed to the fact that in 1921 the British coal strike necessitated large exports of coal.
 In 1921 American vessels carried 53 per cent of cur import tonnage from nearby countries, comprising mostly those on the Caribbean; and in 1922 they carried 4S per cent. In 1921 American vessels carried 5S per cent of export tonnage to nearby countries, and in 1922 they carried oj per cent. Import tonnage from nearby countries in 1921 was $500.
