NEW ORLEANS, Feb. 3. Ry-The
cotton market was very quiet in Sat-
urdayiS short week end session. I'm
easiness ver the decision in the
gold case restricted trading and in
ouced a slightly easier feeling despite
the fact that outside markets were
steady. Most of the little trading in
evidence was evening UP Of COM
mittmentS.
Although cables were weak the
market opened comparatively steady
and v gained a few points in the
first hour. but eased off towards the
end. losing 4 to z points from the
highs with October showing the
most weakness. There was a slight
rally at the end and the market
closed steady with prices showing
net declines for the day of ! to 6
points.
March closed at 1899 and May at
l2.45, down ! point net for the day,
July closed at l2.46. down 2 points

NEW YORK COTTON
CHICAGO. Feb. 3. F

NEW YORK, Feb. 9. tPy- After
holding steady during the greater
part Of Saturdays session, cotton
turned slightly easier just before the
close. The market ended steady at
net declines OF 2 TO 7 points.
The market worked up a point or
two during the middle Of the morn
ing on continued trade buying and
covering. The latter was promoted
by yesterdays rise which some trad
ers regarded as indicating that the
market had been pretty well prepar-
ed for the pending gold clause de-
ciSions.
March sold at 1910 and October
at 1910 making the general list
about unhcanged TO 2 points high
er, but this gain brought in some
realizing which became more active
during the last half hour. March
sold off to 1887 and October to 1885
and closing quotations we're within
a point Of the lowest for the day.
The amount on shipboard await
ing clearance at the end Of the week
was estimated at $4,000 against l6l,-
last year.

LAUDS PRESS

tOREL444 W II ACA84Ql
FLINT. Mich. Feb. e-Due TO
the flexibility Of newspaper adver-
Using and the speed with which,
through the use Of newspaper space,
the advertisers message can be pub
liShed from coast to coast, this
type OF media Is exceptionally Eff
ficient In the development Of auto
mobile sales, according to Thomas
II. Corpe. advertising manager Of
the Buick Motor company.
Discussing Buick advertising for
1895, Mr.. Corpe said that news
papers will be the backbone Of the
company's program with an extern
sive supplementary campaign in
national mass and class magazines.
Newspapers are the ideal media
because Of the speed with which an
advertisement can be handled and
because Of their wide coverage of
the automobile market" he said.
There are no closing dates to
contend with and the advertisers
story can be told as spot news.
Because advertising Is essentially
TN news OF a product. this time ele-
ment is an important consideration.
1T Is particularly important in
view Of sales developments in the
automobile industry. 1t is evident
that the selling peaks. which at one
time could be counted upon to oc-
cur regularly at certain times each
year, are changing and that the
advertiser cannot rely upon them
as he did formerly I'm planning his
campaigns.
Moreover. 1t frequently Is desir-
able TO place advertising emphasis
In selected markets or areas. This
can be done most effectively
through the Isl Of newspaper
space"
Mr.. Corpe indicated that the
Buick appropriation. based on sales
volume, probably will be larger in
1885 in view Of an expected increase
in Buick sales. The company's
1885 campaign was launched re-
Gently with copy appearing in ap-
proximately 1000 papers through
out the country. Newspapers will
continue to carry the bulk of Buick
advertisements in the early part of
1885, supplemented by a campaign
embracing magazines. trade publica-
tons and outdoor boards.
The company's objective this
year" the executive said. will be to
concentrate forceful messages in key
daily papers with more frequent
insertions. The spread Of weekly
magazine schedules Is such that a
Buick advertisement will appear in
one or another national magazine
virtually every week during 1885.
Special advertisements have been
prepared for newspapers in all cities
where automobile shows will be
held"

METHOD
HURTS CITRUS

WESLACO, Feb. 9.-"What Is the
reason for the generally unSatiSfac-
tory returns on citrus fruit this
year?" growers are asking. They are
unable to understand why Valley
grapefruit. conceded the finest in the
world, should be bringing the ridic-
ulous returns 1t is at present.
Asked for his opinion on 1t, Ed
F.. Miller. general and sales manager
OF the Rio Grande Valley Citrus
Exchange. Weslaco. remarked, for
one thing. many millions Of normal
grapefruit consumers have been un-
able to purchase It somply because
they did not have the money to do
SO during the depression period.
Another reason given by Miller was
that at the beginning OF the season
more than 300 buyers entered the
picture with results every one Is Ia
miliar with. True more than half Of
them have folded their tents and
slipped away since the deal became
improbable, but the effect of their
presence and activity left an indel-
ible mark.
1t is plainly apparent growers
must limit the control OF their fruit
In fewer hands which will put the
industry on its proper level towerS
place at least rs per cent Of the fruit
in this section under control OF a
few organizations. there will con-
tinue to be the highly competitive
unsatisfactory features now exist
ing"
No effort has been made to create
a demand for our Incompatible fruit
through advertising or trade promo
ton. California found il exceed
ingly profitable to invest more than
$20.000.000 during the past % or
more years IN building up a demand
for its fruit.
The exchange Is committed to an
advertising program next season
with or without the cooperation of
assistance Of other shipping agen-
cies IN the Valley. Exchange mem
berS stand ready TO support and pay
for a comprehensive advertising and
sales program next season. but it
must be agreed that other shipping
agencies and growers in the Valley
should share proportionately in this
investment and not force our grow
erS TO furnish all the funds.
Certainly non-eXchange growers
and all other shippers will keneiIJ
by such a program. I contend that
If the citrus industry OF the Valley
Is to survive. II Is positively impers-
tive that the quality of our fruit
must be shouted from the housetops

RACING FIGHT
HICHLICHT Of
SOLONS WEEK

AUSTIN, Feb. o. -(Rp-The most
interesting action OF the legislative
week was the TO 20 l6 vote by the
house criminal Jurisprudence COM
mittee for repeal OF the law permit
ting horse race betting.
Indications were the repeal bill
probably would not reach a floor
test for some time. Persons favoring
N continuation OF racing admitted
private surveys indicated that q
slight majority or the house mem
beers who had made definite deci-
sions were for repeal.
Opponents of racing insisted the
repeal bill was certain to pass the
house. However, they we're not 50
confident Of like action BY the sen
ate.
The question Of whether Repre-
sentative Sarah +. Hughes OF Dali
ins will be the states first woman
II asrict judge remained unanswered
until Morbiay, when the senate adj
1ourned for the weekend without
voting On her confirmation. The
vote was delayed because Of absence
OF two members.
The senate confirrped five other
appointments Of Governor Alfred.
They were DR.. George Dillon Nor
gan of San Angelo, regent OF the
University OF Texas; y. y. Josey OF

The emergency clause Of the bill
stated that existing punishment for

to the consuming public of the Unit
ed States and Canada"
Numerous suggestions have been
made relative to solving the citrus
marketing problem to the end that
growers may receive increased re-
turns for their product, and many
have merit, but 1t Is MIR. Miller's be-
lief that advertising and sales pro-
motion work heads the list.

DISTRICT AID
BILL APPROVED
Especial TO The Herald)

SAN BENITO. Feb. "a bill au-
thorizing municipalities, political sub
divisions and taxing districts in Tex
as to proceed under provisions OF
the federal bankruptcy laws has
been reported out of a house COM
mittee Of the Texas legislature, ac-
cording to word received here.
The measure would enable irl1ga-
ton districts TO refund their indebt-
edneSS under provisions OF federal
legislation passed by a recent con-
greSs.
A number OF Valley irrigation dis
tricts are interested because they
have obtained RFC loans for refund
ing purposes. When the federal law
was held unconstitutional recently
in court at Brownsville, the judge
pointed out among other things that
the districts did not have the power
to refund their indebtedness under
the state statutes under which they
were formed.
The bill Is intended as an enabling
act. specifically giving the various
municipal corporations the privilege
Of taking advantage of federal aid
such as offered by the RFC.
Under the federal law. If 90 per
cent Of the bondholders agree to re-
fund their holdings. the irrigation
district or other public corporation
then may 90 to court and compel
the remaining ten per cent 10 agree
TO the same terms. The RFC loans
made in the Valley have stipulated
O settlement on the basis of slightly
more than so cents on the dollar.
The bonds are retired with the money
borrowed from the RFC and the dis
trictS not only reduce the amount OF
their Indebtedness by reason Of the
settlement with the bondholders but
the government loan also bears a
smaller rate Of interest. The RFC
loans maturities also are spread
over a long period.

Notwithstanding the fact that the
