LETTER
BY X r. HINT


WASHINGTON-The golfing contin-
gent in congress will add a renowned
recruit at the next session with the ar
rival Of DR.. Charles Aubrey Eaton Of
Watching, n. j..
Eaton was famous 20 years ago as
John ID. Rockefeller's pastor" He ac-
quired the title by rea:oa OF his pas
torate at the Euclid Ayenue Baptist
Church, Cleveland, where the oil mag
nate worshipped during his summer
time sojourns at his magnificent Forest
Hill estate.
But it wasn't so much his p eaching
at John DIS church that won him r.omi-
hence, even then, as it was his golf ng.
John ID. had "a private golf course on his
estate ana INDUCED in a ta;ly game
for the sake Of his health.
And on these occasions he usually had
his phys clan or ais. pastor, or both, as
golfing eompa ions. A IA result, Eat
ems prowess witt a mash, became even
better known il the Sixth City" thar

In 1909 Eaton graduated from the
Cleveland chur j to tie pastorate Of
the Madison Avenue Church, New York.

Sociology always has been a hobby
with Eaton. AID it was the sociology
trend cf his discourses that is said to
have first attracted tire attention of
Rockefellcr. who was seeking a that
time for channels a d methods through
which his miIl:oas might be made to
wo K for the general welfare.
This sociological bent caused Eaton,
during the VIZ. to surrender his pulpit

new job nv "harles NJ. Schwab, then

So-whether as a golfer or as a force

expected to make himself heard in
Washington.

The Valley and the Missouri Pacific

THE FAMILIAR words, Gulf Coast Lines" are destined to
Missouri Pacific" Rolling stock, time tables s." and other printed
matter will eventually lose this designation, for the destiny of
the road that serves the coast country between New Orleans and
Brownsville has been merged with that of a system operating
over some $4,000 miles of trackage.
The Lower Rio Grande Valley, whose future growth and pros
perhy depends as much upon adequate transportation as it does
upon its own climate and soil, is vitality interested in this change.
The st. Louis, Brownsville & Mexico railroad will continue to
be the official corporate name of the railroad connecting Hous-
ton ton with the Valley: Similarly, the New orIeans-Houston line
VIII continue to be the New Orleans, Texas & Mexico, except
where it is the Orange & Northwestern. But all will be subsidiary
properties of the greater Missouri Pacific system, with Missouri
Pacific policies guiding each link for the benefit of the whole.
What the Southern Pacific and the Santa Fe have been in
the development of Southern California, the Missouri Pacific no
doubt proposes to be to the development of the Lower Rio Grande
Valley. The greater the tonnage produced by this section, the
more widespread the benefits, to both the section and the rail
road.
The Lower Rio Grande can produce tonnage, as was demon
strates during the last truck growing season when more than
$4,000 carloads of products were handled out, not to mention
something short of a hundred thousand bales of cotton last sum
mer: With improved transportation facilities, with the wider
market possible through a single great rail system, with en-
enlargement for the growers and consequent development, there
is no limit in the tonnage possibilities.
More cars, and better motive equipment, greater development
OF the colonization and tourist traffic and the opening of new
the Lower Rio Grande Valley in becoming a part Of the territory
served by this powerful railroad system.

NEW YORK COTTON
~Er ORLEANS COTTON

w N5 SOA hoN
 NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 29.-The price of cotton fluctuated today between moderate advances and moderate de- clines, finally closing 1 to 10 points up on the day net. the last sale of March contracts being at 33.25c a pound and of October 27.42c. The tone in the late trading was steady: mainly because of demand from traders who wanted to cover short cotton put out in the early session.
 The settlement of the British rail- road was the dominating influence of the early trading, and while it was re- garded as bullish influence of the first importance, the first news of 1t was received rather calmly. It put prices of the high of the day to 33.40c for March and 27.17c for october, but at the highest the trading positions were but 13 to g points over the close of yesterday.
 The advance was checked by unfa- vorable reports from the cloth markets of this country and by claims from the division of the market that with Jan uary spot contracts filled, the chances were for a smaller demand for actual cotton. because February usually is a dull month. At the same time it was reported that 3.400 bales of spots were sold in this market after hours yester- day. Prices gradually sagged until around mid d-session they were at the lowest at 33.00c for March and 27.22c for October and 10 to 8 points net lower on the list. Claims that Austrian spinners were trying to buy spots here and cablegrams from Liverpool stating that the continent was a heavy buyer of the spot position Tn that contract market caused partial recoveries in the early afternoon, and later the market had support from covering shorts.

TREND OF BONDS
 IS REACTIONARY
Liberties Alone Show Strength And Record Gains In Trad
 ing Of Day

NEW YORK, Jan. 29.-Aside from I strength in Liberty bonds, which record ed marked gains, reactionary tendency held in today,s irregular but active bond market. Low-priced railroad is- sues generally lost ground, while re- sessions also took place through the public utility and industrial list, except where certain bonds were sought for individual attractiveness. Trading in- terest developed in some of the ordi- narily inactive foreign issues, which advanced fractionally. Chief interest centered in the invest ment section of the market when 1t was reported that subscriptions to the $50, 900 900 Southwestern Bell Telephone issues exceeded S400, 900 ,000 and that al- lotments would be cut down to between 10 and 15 per cent. Bankers were said to be negotiating for early offerings of other issues, the principal one be- ing the Japanese loan for about $50.- o0O, 900. The delay in placing the bonds on the market, 1t was stated, was caused by the rumored refusal of the Japanese government to guarantee the loan.
 rofit-taking, after the recent ad- vance in prices, accounted for the hesi- tancy of the general bond lists. Trac- ton issues, including B. M. T. 6s and Interborough refunding 5s, St, Paul 4hs and other rails, sugar and coppers were affected. Traders, however, reported a good undertone, despite the disposi- ton to take profits.

 AFTER DECLINE
Opening Advance On Favorable
 British Adyices Is Followed By Reactions

NEW YORK, Jan. 2s.-An opening advance on favorable British trade ad- vices was followed by reactions under realizing and southern selling in the cotton market today. May declined from Sa.65c to s3.26c, but steadied at the lower figure and closed at 33.55c or nearly 30 points up from the lowest. The general market closed steady at net advances of to F points.
 The market opened firm at an ad vance of 16 to g points, with March selling at ss.3sc and July at 23;3sc on the relatively firm Liverpool cables and settlement of the British railway strike. Liverpool was a buyer here, while there was covering, also some trade demand and little commission house buying, but it was soon supplied by realizing sales and the market turned easier under selling which apr peared to come largely from the south. This was not accompanied by any change in the generally bullish char acter of spot prices, but the southern selling was supplemented by liquidation and a little local selling on the con tinued unfavorable average of the news from the cotton goods market. A few stop orders were uncovered on the de- cline, Wn1cn eNtenueu tO oH.oVC ioa March and 32c for July during the early afternoon, or 16 to 22 points be- low yesterdays closing quotations on present crop months. New crops were relatively quiet and steady but showed net losses of 13 to 15 points. After the stop orders were out of the way, off, ferings became less active and the mar ket rallied some 9 or 30 points from the lowest on reports that German inter- ests were buying in the southwest and that for the first time since the war Austria was trying to buy cotton in New Orleans for direct shipment. Gen. eral business was quiet during pretty much the whole day, except for the spurt of selling early and furry Of covering in the late trading. Private cables said the larger spot sales re- ported in Liverpool included buying by the continent. Exports today, 19,- 030, making 3,S35,077 so far this sea- son.

IJPTURN SCORED
 BY ALL GRAINS Gains Due To Assertions That Farm Stocks Are Smaller
 Than Supposed

CHICAGO, Ian. 29.-Corn, wheat and oats all scored upturns in price today, largely as a result of assertions that farm stocks of grain are decidedly smaller than has been generally sup posed, or else that farmers have de. veioped an unsuspected ability to hold on to their supplies. Corn closed un- settled at a shade to s@hc net ad- vance, May, s0Ac to S0%c, with wheat firm, kc to sc up, May, $1.O9B 9l.10. Oats unchanged to sc higher and pro visions varying from 5c decline to Dc gain.
 One of the leading crop experts of the country gave the weight of his authority to decidedly bullish view as to the smallness of farm stocks of grain and regarding the alternative that growers were successfully carrying out a policy of holding grain back for bet ter prices.
 He pointed out that the corn market had advanced more than 6 cents a theless this was the first January in many years showing no substantial ac- emulation at the chief distributing centers. Similar, comment was made as to wheat and oats.
 A sharp rally in prices followed the circulation of these opinions. and the entire list of cereals finished at the days top level. Previous to. the bulge, the corn market, which early had shown a rising tendency, became tenn porariiy bare of buying orders and un- derwent a material sag. Renewed pur- chasing grew active, however, espe- cially in the last 30 minutes.
 Sudden disappearance of snow cov- ering in much of the winter wheat belt led to fears of damage from a recurrence of zero weather. Partly in consequence of this circumstance, wheat had the highest close in about two weeks.
 Provisions were influenced on the one hand by some investment demand, but on the other by foreign interests sell ing.

FOREIGN BONDS
RAW SUGAR

NEW YORK, Jan. 29.-Another ad- vance of 1sc occurred in raw sugar prices today on continued active de- mand from refiners. prompted by the better inquiry for refined. Spot prices are now 6.91c, duty paid. There were sales early of about 50,O00 bags of Cubas at 6.78c. duty paid. and later about 75,O0e bags were sold at 6.91c, all for February shipment.
 Alter opening five to seven points higher, raw sugar futures eased off to the previous close under liquidation, but rallied sharply in the afternoon on renewed buying outside and trade ac- count, helped by the advance in the spot market. Final prices were 10 to 15 points net higher. March, 513c May, 5.2!c; July. 5.29c ,: September. 5.33c.
 Refined sugar fifTned up in response to the steadily rising costs of raws and prices were unchanged to % points higher. with a continued good inquiry reported Only one refiner now lists at S.25c for fine grsnulated, while others ask from S.50c to S.75c.
