ther improvement in cotton prices Of 10
points or more today brought the mar
ket into an increased supply of CON-
tracts and a loss of all the early rise
left the list a point lower to 2 points
higher than yesterday.
Trading was active and the rise OF
81 bale since Thursday brought more
Southern selling toward the close. Spots
were unchanged at $50.
Steadiness in Liverpool and q better
tone in outside markets brought early
buying here and in New Orleans, while
spot interests had comparatively few
hedges for sale during the first hour.
1t had been generally expected that
an improvement in the contract market
would attract more cotton from holders
in the South who have refused to re-
lease raw material recently at the lower
price level.

A. T. & T. REPORT LOOKS
BETTER THAN EXPECTED

NEW YORK, December 10 (P.-The
monthly report of the American Tele-
phone g. Telegraph Co. on the rate of
connections and disconnections for No.
vember proved considerably better than
had been generally expected.
The figures had been unusually
closely guarded on this occasion and
little or nothing in the way of reliable
estimates preceded their publication.
The report showed loss Of about 102,-
600 phones last month, compared with
a loss of 10000 reported for October
This represented some measure OF at
least negative improvement and dis
credited reports that disconnections
had been heavier last month than In
the preceding month. The peak month
for loss of business for the company
was last July, when disconnections ag-
gregated some 100000 units.

MONSTER BEAR TRACKS
 BELOW C0OPER's LANDING

Here is bait for the sportsman:
 Ranging about nine miles below Cooper's Landing, on the Kenai River, is the grand daddy of the brown bear family. The animals track was encountered while Steve Melchoir, Jack Lincke and Lee Frantic were lining their boat up the river last week.
 T spanned the track with my right hand", says Lincke, land after me assuring the distance, found it to be just eight and one half inches. The 'pugs" or toes were two inches in width. The measurements were not from toe to heel. but across the track.
 Such a trophy would warrant spending month or more to cap- ture.
 It has long been known that this monster bear ranges the region, but no one has enjoyed a glimpse of him. He ranges on the north side of the river, not far from the Seven Lakes drainage into Kenai River.
