NEW ORLEANS COTTON

NEW ORLEANS, La, Jan. 3.-(P-
The cotton market opened z to IL
points down despite higher Liverpool
cables n spot sales of 10000 bales
IN h English market. Although
prices rallied slightly later in gym
pathy with a firm opening in New
York. the market turned easy later
and dropped to levels II to 23 points
under Saturdays close.
The severe cold weather over the
belt which il was believed would de-
stroy the boil weevil in Information
thus improving the prospects for the
next crop was responsible for the de-
cline. At the lowest March and May
traded ia l9.49 and July 1929.
Local selling on the cold weather
reports sent October, the most active
month, AZ points under Saturday
close to 1912. This represents a
loss of nearly $3.50 a bale. Nearer
months eased off a few points ad-
d~itional in the second hour with
March dropping TO 1888, May 1910
and July 1922, % TO 80 points IN
der the previous close.
AZ noon a report that 10000 bales
OF the certified stock in New York
had been shipped out, induced some
covering and the market became
steadier with prices 8 points above
and still slanting upward.

NEW YORK COTTON

NEW YORK, N. Y, Jan. 3, Pr
The cold wav in the South seemed
accountable for considerable liquida-
ton and local selling in the cotton
market today. First prices were
steady at an advance of / point on
January ard March, but 2 to 10
points lower on later deliveries, &C
tive positions soon showing net loss
es Of Is to 80 points.
Trade buying on q scale down
steadied the market ut the decline,
and after selling off to 1913 for
March. prices stiffened up 8 or 4
points before the end Of the first
hour. Part Of the early selling was
said to be based on belief that the
low temperatures In the South
would kill off some Of the boil
weevil in liberation.
Selling continued in the forenoon,
the decline extending to 1895 FOR
March or 32 points net lower, while
October sold off to 1854, a net de-
cline of fifty points.
The volume Of business tapered
off at the decline. and the market
at midday was quiet, prices show
ing rallies Of 8 or 10 points from

TO DEDICATE
ORGAN SOON
Baptist Inst
Found to Give
Good Results

Plans are being made to formally
dedicate the new pipe organ, which
nas Just been installed in the First
Baptist church, with q cantata Sun
day evening at the time Of the reg
ular services. Definite reports will
pc made after choir practice Thurs
oay evening at the church, it has
been announced.
q organs Q Kilgan, was used for
a first time Sunday with the reg
ular services in the church with
enoir singing. Mrs. Arthur Kincaid
operated n instrument during its
.Altlal performance. Brownsville now
mas two such instruments, identica,
IN size price, specifications, and even
installed by the same man. The
other Is located in the First Presby,
terrain church which was formally
dedicated about three weeks ago.
The only difference in shape Of con-
struction il due to the difference
In architecture Of the two churches,
which makes the organ chambers
slightly unlike, il is said.
-FOUR were on the COMMITTEES 20
choose the organ last summer. They
were Z. J. Tucker. chairman Of the
flnanee committee; j. s. Duncan,
president of the choir; Rev. z. w
Marshall, pastor of the church; and
Miss Flora M. Todd, director Of the
choir.
In discussing the organ in eonnec.
tion with music productions in the
auditorium, Miss Todd says that the
size of the instrument which has
been installed is correct in size fol-
the church room. Not too large to
drown the voices Of the choir, it still
has the volume to fill TIE auditorium
when It Is necessary. She went on
to say that churches often get over
ambitious and order an organ which
Is entirely too large for their church
and in that way never get the best
effects Of which it is capable.
