MARKET REPORTS
(By Associated Press.)
NEW YORK, Dec. 22.—There was a renewal
of Saturday’s selling movement in cotton. Liv
erpool just about met the American wenkness
of late last week and the influence of the
bearish ginning report was reflected in heavy
over-Sunday selling orders. Opened easy at a
decline of 7 to 10 points with January con
tracts selling at 11.82, or 116 points below the
recent high level. There was heavy realizing
by recent sellers at this decline, while there
was also a good deal of foreign buying and
prices became steadier shortly after the call,
with active months selling back to within a
point or two of Saturday’s closing.
After the close of Liverpool had shut out
arbitrage buying, the market weakened again,
selling about 6 to 10 points net lower with
May and July breaking through the opening
prices.
This reflected qpntinued liquidation and
seemed to include selling by some of the early
buyers. Prices at midday were within 2 or 3
points of the lowest.
There was heavy local and southern liquida
tion on the early afternoon break which sent
prices 17 to 19 points net lower. Rallies of 5
or 6 points followed on coverings and business
became somewhat less activ® around 2 o’clock.

NEW ORLEANS COTTON
' ,J v Assoc ateti Press.)
NEW ORLEANS. Dec. 22.—Cotton futures
opened steady at a decline of 5 to 9 points.
Cables were about as due but browkers had a
considerable volume of orders to fill from liq
uidating longs that apparently had accumulated
over Sunday as the result of the ginning re
port of Saturday. First prices were the lowest
in the early trading as the decline was met by
a good demand, partly from profit-takers on
the short side and partly from spot interests.
At the end of the first half hour of business
the trading months were 1 to 2 points over
Saturday's close.
The market later was quiet with a small
but steady demand which put the trading
months 3 to 4 points over Saturday’s last quo
tations. Private messages from Liverpool were
bullish and predicted buying by spinners at
current levels. For a while the market had a
steady tone but liquidation of long cotton came
in again and bearish traders seeing the effect
it was having begun to sell short cotton rather
freely. This resulted in a quick break of about
35 points. At noon prices were at their low
est, 10 to 11 points under the last figures of
Saturday.

HAYWARD & CLARK’S COTTON LETTER.
NEW ORLEANS, La.. Dec. 22.—English con
sols show an advance of quarter, and London
sends following: “Decidedly more optimistic in
the money situation, decided change for the bet
ter in Paris; sentiment changing, and it is con
sidered possible that the stock markets enter
the New Year with buoyancy.”
On our side a feeling of confidence is likewise
gaining ground now that the currency reform
measure is nearly an accomplished fact, and the
opposition is accepting the inevitable with good
grace, Liverpool came in as due, about 14 lower
on fkutures, 16 lower on spots, sales 7,000. The
drop in spot sales shows hesitation which is
only natural after such a severe break as that
which occurred -Saturday in the markets of the
producing country.
First trades here were at a decline of about
8 points. There was a good demand easily ac
counted for by the very large discount of fu
tures under spot quotations. The inability to
buy spots of the decline in futures produces a
hedge demand from consumers while bullish .ex
pectations have received a severe shock lately,
the belief in justifiably larger values on this sea
son’s fundamental conditions of supply and re
quirements is unshaken and investment buying
making its appearance.
The coming holiday and notice day period may
check or delay bullish enterprise until after the
turn of the year. With the uncertainty attend
ing the making of large crops—as demonstrated
this year—present prices are justly considered
below a reasonable value.

LOOKING WELL AS EVER,
WILSON SEES REPORTERS
(Bar Associated Press.).
WASHINGTON, Dec. 22.—President
Wilson hadf the glow of health on his
cheeks and looked as well as ever when
he met the Washington correspondents
at a regular Monday morning confer
ence today for the first time in several
weeks.
Egg’S aed Pom I try from the Souith
D URING the months of Novem-
her and December millions of
dollars are being brought to
the southern states for the sale of
both eggs and poultry. Especially
does this apply to Tennessee, North
arrd South Carolina and Texas.
Trainloads of turkeys have been
shipped this year to eastern markets
from these sections. Thousands of
carloads of eggs and dressed poultry
have been shipped into the east from
this section of country this fall, and
with the present price it has brought
many dollars back and distributed it
among a class of people who certain
ly have been helped in many in
stances, a few dollars derived from
poultry and eggs going to many fam
ilies who needed it. This has done
much more good than thousands of
dollars would have done a different
class of people. On the other hand,
the production of this product has
done much towards giving to the
wealthy and those who could afford
it a product of quality that has been
appreciated, and the poultry indus
try has helped both parties concern
ed in this way.
It is being noticed every day what a big difference there is now and
what there was ten to fifteen years ago -in the handling of these products
from the southern states. In the first place instead of shipping eggs in or
dinary boxes or barrels, as they were years, ago, they are now carefully pack
ed in neat clean cases, every egg .as a rule is tested and assorted before be
ing packed. Therefore, saving the freight and the handling of thousands
of dozens of eggs and being able to guarantee the quality of every case that
is sent. Years ago before these improved methods were discovered very oft
en in a large box of eggs many would be broken, they would smeer the re
maining ones and naturally lower the price of the entire lot. It is surpris
ing what a change has come, and how people have learned to take care of
and appreciate the value of eggs.
Poultry used to be shipped in crowded coops or in just any kind of an
old box, bi& and little, old and young mixed together. But now, nice, neat,
light shipping coops are provided, different sizes are usually sold, and dif
ferent quality graded and shipped to market that will warrant taking certain
grades of poultry. The result vis that the income to the farmers through
out the south from this work runs into many thousahds of dollars every
year and is helping to provide little comforts and luxuries for hundreds of
women and children on the farm that would never have them were it not for
chickens.
But not 100th as many chickens and eggs are raised and sold
in the south as could easily be done. The proposition that con
fronts us now is how we can increase this production and help to make mon
ey for those who are willing to take hold of it and wish to get something
outside of their regular line that they can depend on. The poultry shows
and fairs have really been the main educator in this respect. But they, even,
do not reach out and get in touch with a certain element of people who
should be encouraged to do this work, and some other methods should be
applied to the upbuilding of this industry. Our state has between $30,000
and $40,000 appropriated annually for its horticulture^ department. Of
course this covers the investigation of the boll weevil and other similar
things, but taking into consideration the revenue that is brought t6 our coun
try from the sale of eggs it is fully as important, if not more -o, than those
other things, and our state has only a small appropriation of something like
$3,500 annually through the College of Agriculture to maintain and teach
poultry culture in this state. Our sr state entomologist now. It is of just
$25,000 for this department and have a branch of poultry husbandry connect
ed with the state’s work similar to our state etomologist now. It is of just
as much importance, if not more so, and if it was done this $25,000 per year
invested in this respect would in less than five years, I am confident, increase
the revenue of poultry in this state to $25,000,000 per year. The state could
do nothing that would add to its revenue and pay a better per cent of profit
than to look after our poultry industry. \
There should by all means be In Atlanta, Macon, Augusta, Savannah,
and, in fact, in all other large southern cities, a big packing plant estab
lished especially for the handling of poultry and eggs, similar to the one
at Morristown, Tenn. There would soon be many products grown to main
tain these plants if they were once established and the state take up a
great campaign in this interest. The packers at Morristown started In a
small way a few years ago, and are handling now between $2,000,000 and $3,-
090,00 worth of these products annually. It could be done In this section
easily if it was encouraged. And the good part of all is that the immense
amount of revenue that is now being brought to the south for the sale of
these products is coming from the large eastern cities who are compelled
to. have these goods.
1 never realized so much the importance and good that poultry Is doing
for our country, or appreciated a conversation more than one indulged in a
short time ago with a machine agent in a county. lie told me that some
thing like 75 per cent of the machines he sold were sold on a credit to
the ladies throughout the country and were paid f-*r with poultry and eggs
at something like $2 per month. He would take these at a fair market value
and it enabled him to always convert them into cash at a profit, and on
the other hand help the lady of the home have something that she could
make clothing for her little ones and other members of the family that
they they would be deprived of If It was not for their poultry. Not many
men would be willing to buy on a credit or make a note for $40 or $50 for a
machine, and not many would get up that much cash for a machine. But
when they are paid for with poultry and eggs at a small'^amount each month
it was scarcely missed, and that he had for the past five years sold a
large number of his machines in this way. If this applies to one county,
naturally it does to others, and shows conclusively what a big help poultry
and egs are to our country.
It is a pity but what Georgia could put on a big egg laying compe
tition similar to Missouri. The $6,900,000 that Missouri will receive this
year from her poultry is a big item, and I believe if such a competition was
put on in Georgia that in five years we could have our state show at least
one-third this much revenue brought to the state.
There are various ways and many instances that could be mentioned
what poultry and eggs are doing for this state, but the few above men
tioned will give us some idea of what
can be accomplished and of how much
real value in dollars and cents this in
dustry is to our country. 1 ■
Yours very truly,
QUESTIONS ASKED AND ANSWERED.
QUESTION.
Please give me an immediate re
sponse to this.
I have a hen which I regard
highly. Early last summer in hav
ing her greased to keep off insects,
the person handling her was so
careless as to injure one of her legs.
I thought it was broken, but she did
not recover. Since the cool, rainy
weather has come on she is worse
again, very lame. Could it be rheu
matism, and if so what would you
advise? Do not say “kill her,” but
tell me something to do for her.
Hoping to hear promptly, I remain,
W. E. C.
ANSWER.
It is possible that in catching the
hen some of the leaders in her leg
were strained or broken, and the
damp weather would cause soreness
to appear the same as usually is the
case with rheumatism. If you wish
to keep the hen I wduld, advise
keeping her in a small space where
she would/only have a limited
amount of exercise and allow her to
roost on a low roost or on straw
or a soft place directly on the
ground. Probably a good liniment
wo.uld help take the soreness out of
the effected parts. .Usually it takes
more time and expense to treat a
hen or chicken effected in this way
as they seldom ever recover and
unless they are valuable it does not
pay to bother with them.

you are doing a great deal of good.
Now I am needing some advice as
to what to do for a fine Rhode
Island Red cockerel. He is now
about six or seven months old, well
developed, but I find he has a wen
or tumor under and around his left
wing which makes him carry* his
wing raised up. I have opened it
and let the wind out several times,
but it does no good as it soon ap
pears again. If the description I
have given is not sufifeient please
let me know and I will /make further
descriptions. I was thinking that
there might be a leak from the
breathing tubes which causes the
trouble. If you can give me any
information I will greatly appreci
ate it.. j. s. J.
ANSWER.
It would be best to use some an
tiseptic on the effected parts of
you® bird after each operation. By
diluting Chlo-Naptholeum, one to
twenty-five parts, and bathing these
parts with it after it has been open
ed and injecting some of it in the
tumor it will eventually dry it up
and the bird will probably recover.
Repeat each treatment until he is
well.

DE LA BARRA GREETED

Mexico and now special envoy to Japan
to ttyank her for participation in the
The point of what I am going to
write here is this: It is both helpful
and profitable to extend credit to your
neighbor, if you do it in an intelligent
way.
Ten years ago, Leonard G. Robin
son became manager of an organiza
tion which was the outgrowth of the
establishment of the Baron de Hirsch
fund to aid the Jews in America.
That part of the york intended to
assist the Jews in getting out of the
cities and to the farms was organized
und-r the name of the Jewish Agricul
tural and industrial Aid society.
This society’s work has been prin
cipally to aid with loans the Jews who
want to buy and use farms. But as
long ago as 1907, it was seen by the
manager that some sort of local co
operative credit unions were needed.
The first of these local unions (vol
untary and strictly co-operative in
character) commenced business in May,
1911. Three were organized in that
year; five were formed in 1912, and
nine in 1913—in all seventeen are in
operation. They are intended to sup
ply the temporary pressing needs of
the members; and in the seventeen
credit unions there are 517 members.
Each of the unions raised a capital
of $500 * by selling shares to their
members; and w’hen that was done,
the Jewish Agricultural and Industrial
Aid society advanced another $1,000.
This was their capital—their loanable
funds. In the time they have been
operating (an average of thirteen
months at the time of writing), loans
totaling nearly $74,000 have been made
to members; and the net profits have
amounted to 13 1-4 per cent on the
capital used.
These credit groups range in mem
bership from twenty-three to forty-
six, and they are managed at practi
cally no cost to the members (total ex
penses of the oldest union amounted
to only $138 for over two and a half
years). The only loss suffered thus
far, Mr. Robinson told me, was one of
$24—and that resulted from the fail
ure of a national bank in which the
union kept its deposits!
So, the neighborhood co-operative
credit organization is perfectly sound
—and profitable to its members. If
you care to hear more about this
Jewish plan, write to Mr. Robinson at
174 Second avenue, New' York City.
