and an automobile drivers permit,
property of James C. McElheny,
134 Carroll street southeast, was
taken today from table on the

pocketbook, but failed to find it.

the general market closing steady at a

The opening was firm at an advance
Of 40 to so points on the active months.
while January was 10 points higher.
There was an urgent demand from
shorts, who appeared to be alarmed
over the reports Of a firmer spot sit
uation and claims that considerable
block of cotton had been sold out Of
the local stock for export late yester-
day. Trade interests were buyers Of
near months, but the bulk OF the de-

after the most urgent buying had been
supplied prices eased off on the con-

October sold off from 24.40c to 24c but
