NEW YORK, January 3.--The cot
ton market opened barely steady today
at decline of to IL points in re
Spouse to relatively easy Liverpool
cables. There was some Southern
selling on the opening decline to 1915
for March and 1910 for July, but offer

prices held fairly steady during the
first hour on covering and little trade
buying.
Private cables said there had been
hedging combined with local and con
tinental liquidation in the Liverpool
market. but reported an improved de-
mand for cotton cloths from the CONT
nent and Near East
A feature of the trading here was
the switching from March to July at
difference of 33 to "a points, and the
first business in December, 1927, con-
tracts. which sold at 1910, or about II
points above the price of October.

R).-The cotton market opened easy
here today owing to unfavorable Liv-

9 points down except January, which
opened l point up. Prices eased off
on all months, after the call, on re-
ports of continued good weather and
lack of trade buying support until
January traded at 1850, March at
1856 and May at 1882 or 9 to 10

EVERYMAN'S
INVESTMENTS
January Investment Demand"
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.

This is the time of the year when
the so-caIled January "relnvestment
demand makes it's appearance. Finan-
cial writers use this term to explain
anv unusual strength in the invest
ment market coinciding with the END
of the year.
What is meant is the buying OF
securities with the proceeds or IN
terest and dividend disbursements,
which are unusually large in .hlnu-
arv and July. On the first day OF
these two months, more bond coupons
fan due than at any other time in
the wear, April and October J PROB
ably coming next. Quarterly dividend
checks are also more numerous OH
the first DAYS of January, April, July
and October, so that the aggregate
is very large.
probably the total disbursements
IN these two accounts this year will
he greater than ever before in the
history of the United States. Now
all this vast sum cannot be allowed
to remain idle. 1t must be reinvested,
that Is to say, be used TO buy stocks
or bonds or property of some kind.
Even if it is left on deposit in the
bank, that institution will use it in
the security market.
occasions in the past has served to
advance sharply the market price of
the particular grade of investments
then in most demand. Finally it came
to be a tradition that the investment
market would enjoy a substantial ad-
vance just after the first of the year.
The expected result, however, does
not always come to pass, and for this
reason, that it was expected. Antici-
pating this demand to appear along
about the first of January, dealers and
spectators begin a month or more
earlier TO accumulate the kind Of
securities they think they can sell
when the investor receives his Jan
uary income. Their buying serves to
advance the price level that much
sooner and when the actual January
buying begins it is without effect. In
recent years, too, the investor himself,
being able to borrow on favorable
terms, has anticipated his January
requirements beforehand, so that this
also helps to smooth out the price
curve.

RICHMOND, Va. January 3.-Oper-
ating expenses of the Tobacco Grow
erS' Cooperative Association, which
includes growers in the States of Nir-
ginia, North and South Carolina, from
it's organization to May 81, 1925,
amounted to $20,011 ,285.60, while the
income from tobacco sales during the
period aggregated sos, 186,272.70, ac-
Cording to the special report of the
receivers, which was submitted to the
Federal District Courts of the three
States today.
The report, signed by James II. Pou,
Hallett S. Ward and Merton l.. Corey,
is intended to show the 100000 grow
ers what became of the proceeds from
the sale of tobacco.
The cost of operating the association
from February s, 1922, until May 81,
1926, was divided as follows: General
overhead, $S,214, $3.50; redrying ex-
pense, $9,5S6,797.25; carrying charges,

This year the railroads are in a

bonds. During the war period and
Immediately thereafter. few, il any,
of the railroads could have sold new

Period of Stock Financing.
The country seems on the verge
of period of stock financing by rail-
roads, not only to meet maturities,
but also to finance development and
extension.
The chief advantage in selling
stock is to better balance the capital
structures, which, during the period
of railroad adversely, became topheavy
with bonded Indebtedness.
The paradox of the situation Is that
now that the strong roads are able
TO sell stock many or tnem prefer
to market bonds because it consti'
tutes a cheaper way to raise funds
especially in view of the high tax
rate on corporate earnings.
Tax selling to establish losses in
depressed stocks is now over and in
stead there may be a new form of
tax selling to establish profits in
favored stocks. The prospects OF a
lower tax rate for 1927 no doubt in
duced numerous traders to hold their
stocks through the turn of the year.
With the Federal tax rate declining
the tax factor is becoming progress
sively less important as a stock
market factor.

investment on which a financial re-
turn is expected. Rearing children
properly is the most unselfish of all
pursuits. Sidney Howard. in his new
American drama of mother love, "The
Silver Cord" urges this policy in re-
spect to children: Have 'em. love 'em
and leave 'em be-"
Unfortunately, there are no actu-
arial statistics available concerning
what children do for parents in their
old age. And yet it is common knowl-
edge that the system of economics of
the average aged and infirm parent
Is to rely on his children or other rel
atives. Where propertyless parents
find their children unwilling or unable
to contribute to their support, they
frequently become charges on the
community.
Sometimes, excessive Indulgence of
their children deprived parents of even
a modest competence for their old age
Frequently parents deliberately ex'
haust their own finances to stake their
children, giving them a start in life
perhaps capital for entering business
in the expectation that the grateful
children will look after their parents
when they become too old to earn their
own living.
Highly speculative.
Frequently, this reckless gamble on
the future of children yields richer
returns than any other type of finan-
cial commitment, but it is a highly
speculative undertaking. A parent s
first duty may be toward his children,
but he has a second duty to his wife
and himself. The father should not
consciously improverish himself and
stake everything on an offspring. The
hazard is too great, for premature
death, illness or incapacity or incom-
petence or ungratefulness may make
the child of no financial value to his
parents in their old age
The relations of a parent to chill
dren are rightly based on love and
sentiment, but because of this many
parents fail to use common sense in
the matter. In fairness all around
the father from the time of his early
manhood should begin to set up re-
| serves against old age. His contribu
ton to his children should be made
unselfshly, with no thought of di
rect return. The father who pro
vides for his own future is likely to
be happily surprised by.grateful chill
dren, who, through their contributions,
will supplement the bare necessities
of life with luxuries. The law recog-
nizes the obligation of children to
parents, and permits them to take
special deductions in computing their
income for tax purposes If they main.
ain parents under the same roof.
Unwillingness of parents to think
realistically about these questions
leads in the aggregate to countless
miscalculations, disappointments and
misunderstanding.

THE BUSINESS OF GETTING

BY NJ. S. RUKEYSER.
EcOnnmicS of Children.

Sophisticated moderns are figuring
the cost of rearing children, and are
consciously limiting the size of their
families.
With a new sense of economy, the
present generation is multiplying by
reducing the number of infant NOR
talitioS.
The ancient fears of the economist
Nautilus that the population would in
crease faster than the food supply
have largely disappeared. The intro
duction of machinery in the field Of
agriculture has heightened the bOunti-
fulness of nature. In America the
late Theodore Roosevelt was the fore
most advocate of large families.
There was more justification for hold
ing that doctrine in America, which
was comparatively thinly populated,
than in densely settled Italy, which
has for decades found it necessary to
export a surplus population every
year. And yet Benito Mussolini has
of late espoused the cause of large
families in Italy. With the gates to
America partly closed as result of
restricted immigration, Italian states

ism and seeking new outlets for

Restrict Families Here.
In America. parents maintaining a
comparatively high standard Of living
restrict their. families to a number
which they can afford to educate well
and give a good start in life.
In accounting terms, children be-

birth--and a long pull investment. 1t
