An effort Is lielng made to put luto the

drafted, a clause providing for the well '
nnd classing of cotton by the state.
genus to be uo reason why the state should
not inspect cotton as well us grain. Sup"
pose Texas bud a state Inspection, nud
put ft stamp, “Texas cotton," on every

There are many ways In which the cotton

Into-sfgbt figures during January are go
ing to look very big when they nre com
parwl with those of tho big crop year. It
must be remembered, however, that during
January two years ago the South wns really
holding cotton.
There hns been n good deni of nlvlce
given to farmers this year to hold their cot-

Atlanta, Ga., Dec. 27.—The market
Way has been another holiday affair,
I »1th a wigging tendency on account of
tomorrow being first tender day on
Jkocory enntracta In New York.
The opinion now Is that a good many
notice, will be circulated and give us it
lower market for tomorrow. I venture
“e araertton, however, with the big
difference between spots and futures,
** "'-h as thirty-odd points between
January and March, all tenders will be
readily absorbed by the moneyed Inter-
«t. no matter what the grade. In fact,
i rather look for the very people who
make ihe tenders to be the most urg-
«l buyers, after the break, so as to -ret
jfielr cotton back, selling March against
the purchase, which pays the member
of the exchange very nicely on his
transaction, giving him good Interest
on his money, besides a small amount
on the currying difference. The foreign
“ntket closed 4 points lowsr than pre
vious close, when they were due un-

New York, Dec, 27,—Today's mar
ket rose mainly In consequence of It*
own oversold condition, which was
protty apparent at the close of bust- -
ness yesterday. On the resumption of
business In London the financial com
munity were confronted with another
unfavorable showing by the Bank of
Kngland. Reserve fell off nearly 85,-
000,000, Indicating that the arrivals of
Paris gold had been absorbed, with a
large loss besides by the demands of
the home Interior. This drain, hotv-
ever, as Is well understood, always oc
curs at this time of year, and In the
usual course of events Is quickly re
plenished after tho first of the year,
when the settlement requirements nre
over. Accordingly, while the proportion
of reserve to liabilities has fallen off
from 84 1-2 to 171-4 per cent on the
week, the bank statement occasioned
no uneasiness In today's transaction on
tho foreign neeurlty markets. British
