(By Associated Press.) NEW ORLEANS, De«. 29.—Better cables than due caused a higher opening in the cotton future market today, but the advance was not well sustained. Failure of a cotton firm in Charleston, S. C., announced over Sunday, caused more or less uncertainty and held the market down. First prices were 4 to 7 points up and im mediately after, the call the active months stood 5 to 9 points up, January showing the most strength. Buyers were cautious and sellers became more aggressive on the expectation of .1 large January tenders iu the New York market . tomorrow. Half an hour after the opening the market stood 4 points up to 1 point down com pared with the close of Saturday. Liquidation of long cotton and fresh short selling both increased after the orders that had accumulated over Sunday were executed. Much bearish talk was circulated regarding the amount of cotton to be tendered on contract in New York tomorrow. One bearish prediction was that notices for practically the entire stock of tenderable grades .would be issued. The market was steady at the decline from the early trading on. Weather conditions over the belt were unfavorable and strengthened be lief in small ginning returns among traders who were bullishly inclined but buying orders did not increase.

Logan & Bryan: With the trade becoming reconciler! to the belief in a yield of fairly liberal proportions, it does not seem as tliongh the spinning interests will follow advancing l tendencies with purchases considering the price ^and the status of general business conditions.

HAYWARD & CLARK’S COTTON LETTER NEW ORLEANS, La., Dec. 29.—Liverpool Is ^encouraging in futures as well as in spots. The former at the opening of our market were ,• about 5 points higher than due; spot prices 5 I points higher; sales larger; total, 12,000. Cables [ report better feeling generally over trade pros- > pects and uneasiness among mills over small stocks and difficulty In securing desirable cot ton. First trades here were at an advance of 6 to 8 points, followed by easiness, mostly in consequence of dull trade during the New Year week, and reserve over the coming census re port. Press comment continues generally opti mistic. looking for a boom year in muny lines * of trade. Professional advices from New York show a distinct change in feeling toward the market. Several influential interests which had been prominent on the bear side are now mentioned In the reviews as chief buyers in the northern ' market. The strong allusions to the weak long ■ interest and unavoidable liquidation have ceased since the drop of 12c for the spring months in New York and the announcemnt of the Charles ton cotton failure. Advices are now that tech nical conditions sre bullish on the basis of an over-confident outside bear interest. It Is thought that the market may advance rapidly in case census ginnlngs for the period should ihe smaller than last year. Forecasts from Whe Turner bureau, Memphis, and the National pinners are eagerly expected. | Market easd in the second hour ou a rport If Memphis selling, which was construed as an Indication that preliminary ginning returns for «ie... period are fuller than liked.

NEW YORK COTTON LETTER NEW YORK, Dec. 29.—The market opened as about due on cables, but the advance met profit taking by those who bought around the low price a week ago today. There was quite heavy liquidation of January on the theory that practically all of the 68,000 bales certificated stock would be tendered tomorrow. Liverpool was a good buyer of January and support in the late months looked partly by shorts aud partly by new buyers who are of the belief that there is still more of the upward reaction in the market after the severe cleaning out it has had since the last ginnign report. How ever, all rallies seem to meet heavy offerings from Wall street, and some of the commision houses. Spots, were said to be firmer and In better demand.—Anderson.

STEEL COF.PORATION WILL SELL FERRO- MANGANAESE The United States Steel Corporation has en tered the domestic market as a permanent sell er of fprro-manganeso in competition with Ger man and English makers who hate supplied most of the requirements to steel makers of this country in x'ecent years. In announcing its new policy the Steel Corporation through high officials states that it intends to do mer chant business in this product. It hopes to be able to supply tbe bulk of the material pur chased by other steel makers of this country. Already one sale of 1,500 tons and another of 1,000 tons have been made to domestic buy ers. While no official statement is made of the prfee at which the corporation is selling, ir is understood to have offered ferro-man- ganese on the basis equivalent to about $45, seaboard, which is $2 a. ton below the official English and German prlfe. The steel corporation has been operating fur naces for the production of ferro-mangancse in Pittsburg, South Chicago and Ensley for some years, but has used (the output for its own operations. On rare occasions it has furnished other 9 steel makers t/hrough private arrange ment, but it has never been a regular seller before. While the present capacity for manu facturing this alloy i>i large, it will undoubtedly have to put more fniruaces on the production, since the consumption of ferro in this country in recent years outiido of the steel corpora tion has been about 100,000 tons annually. The manganese ore fronv which the corporation makes ferro-manganoso is imported from India, Russia and Brazil. \ Foreign makers have not yet indicated whot^ step they will take to meet tlic new polled, but it Is expected that they will compete ^Igo.rously.—Tbe Iron Trade Review. . The Three HI mod red Hen Made IO build up such a family of layers, it will take years of hard work, careful study and carefully kept records. The birds must be toe punched and records made of them same as pedigreed liogs and cattle, and you must se cure from 62 1-2 to 82 1-2 per cent or always maintain this full per cent of the original blood so as to know just where you are. If this is done you can count absolutely sure on having like produce like, and in no other way can it be done. It is just as important to know just how the male bird is bred and even more so than the female. I have heard many trap nestmen say that they did not want to raise chickens from a hen that layed 200 to 250 eggs per year, as th e chicks veould be weak and be no good, but that is just where they are wrong. In selecting great layers, a per son can do this by making personal examinations of both the male and the females. The lay bones or pel vic bones should, be very wide apart, fully wide enough to get three fin gers between them and very thin on the end, and not inclined at all to evei' accumulate fat or gristle on the end of these bones. A hen that is so constructed will always be a wonderful layer, and will do so for 1 years, and will impart the same to her offspring. It is just as important that the same should apply to the male bird, and by making personal examinations once a week, any man can tell, almost for a certainty just what every hen is doing without a trap nest. There is no mistake about this, and it can be’ accomplished and through this method and this alone, with line breeding, can the three-hundred egg hen be pro duced. J There is a lot yet to be learned about a family of heavy layers. Blood will tell, and through careful line breeding the day is coming when we will have a family of chickens, if properly raised, that everyone can count absolutely sure on producing more than two hundred eggs, or even three hundred per year, if properly raised. I know of one White Leghorn hen now more than eleven years old that has layed this year more than fifty eggs. She has many pullets that have laid more than 250 eggs each, and they have daughters that have even done better, and invariably when this hen’s sons and grandsons have been crossed on even ordinary flocks they have shown wonderful increase in egg production over the female line of different blood of which they were crossed. Every cross brings greater improvement and just so long as the larger per cent of this blood is kept in the flock and the more of it that is maintained, the greater will be the egg yield, but line breeding is a thing that must be carefully studied so as not to go to extremes, and is the only way possible by which certain fixed types and characteristics can possibly be instilled into fowls and animals. If one will study the pedigree of th'e greatest cows, hogs and horses in the world, they will find that nearly every noted individual contains at least ? per cent of some certain blood of a family which has a great record behind them. This certainly applies to chickens with more force than anything else and results can be so much more quickly accomplished by line breeding fowls than with animals. There’s a fortune ahead for the man who can build up a family of layers that will produce 300 eggs per hen each year. It can be done and in less than five years, we will see families of fowls that 25 to 50 per cent of them can be easily mated to produce 250 to 300 eggs per year. Some time in the near future I will have a series of articles going into de tails more fully and give some care fully kept records in reference to line breeding, especially in fowls. Yours very truly, //) */- QUESTIONS ASKED AND ANSWERED. QUESTION. Marshallvilie, Ga.. I had a cow to have pimples on her udder six or eight weeks ago and tE y had a little white pus in them. I washed the udder off well and used linseed oil and carbolic acid on it a^ter washing thorough ly. I could not use the milk for weeks and a week or two ago sent her out to the country, but before sending her I had a heifer to have a calf and cautioned the milker to milk the old cow first every time, but with that precaution the heif er’s udder is brokefi out. Is it cow- pox, and what shall I do to cure information you may give me. F. B. M. ANSWER. The cows have what is known as cowpox and it will go through the entire herd. That is, it usu ally does so. The best thing you can do will be to quit feeding cot ton seed meal while they h&ve this trouble. Feed a handful of sulphur every day in their feed and wash the udder after each milking with some god antiseptic, one part wa ter to seventy-five parts either Bee Dee, Chlo-Naptholeum or any of the other good antiseptics advertised will cure the trouble much quicker than would be relieved if not it? Will very much appreciate any treated. ST. LOUIS CASH QUOTATIONS NEW YORK COFFEE MARKET (By Associated Press.) The following were the cash quotations on Open.
