COTTON
NEW YORK, Jan. IT.—The cotton market
made a fairiy steady showing during today s
early trading. Cables were lower than due,
and" after opening unchanged to 7 points
higher, active months slipped some 7 or 8
points below Saturday's closing, with Jan
uary selling at 16.14 c and May at 16.15e.
Wall street interests were moderate sellers
and there was also some scattered southern
selling, but the offerings were absorbed ny
covering and trade buying, and prices held
within a point or two of Saturday's final
toward the end of the first hour. Liver
pool cables said that spots were poor and
futures idle, but the firmer ruling of foreign
exchanges, particularly marks, probably en
couraged some of the local
Liverpool timed a seller later and prices
here weakened with March selling off to
15.88, or 34 points net lower. Later montts
ehowed losses of 30 to 35 points, but Janu
ary held relatively steady, selling only 17
points net lower, and the market was quiet
but steady around midday, at rallies of
12 or 15 points. The Liverpool selling
tapered off after the close of the English
market and otherwise there, was very little
pressure of offerings.
Reports that 18.000 balese of consigned
lotton had arrived here since last Friday,
presumably for contract delivery, failed to
tans.- any January liquidation, nnd the mar
ket was steady to firm during the middle
•f the afternoon. March sold up to 16/23
»nd May to 16.20, or back to about Sat
urday’s closing.

NEW ORLEANS COTTON
NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 17.—Prices were
lower in the cotton market today, the active
.months losing 14 to 16 points in the first
half hour of business, Marcli dropping to
15.35 c. Unsatisfactory cables and some lit
tle realizing from the long side were maiuly
responsible for the decline.
Under tile contention that all known Dull
ish features of the present situation had
teen discounted, the volume of offerings in
creased and the market, getting no fresh
support of consequence, sagged off until,
11 o’clock, it stood 30 to 35 points under "he
final prices of last week. March sold ■ own
to 15.17 c.
In the second half' of the session the
market completely reversed its trend and.
on reports of more southern mills starting
up full time nnd accounts of continued im
provement ni the interior spot situation,
the early declines were recovered and re
placed by net advances of 22 to 27 poinst.
In the trading up to 1:30 o’clock March
rose to 15.78 c.

SHEPARD & GLUCK COTTON LETTER
NEW ORLEANS, La.. Jan. 17.—Declines
were made in the early trading in cotton
■ today, but the latter part of the session
, brought a stiff advance.
; From levels, 34 to 36 points under the
close of last week, the active months rose
to levels, 22 to 24 points, over, March trad
ing as low as 15.17 c and as high as 15.78 c.
i For the decline a poor Liverpool and some
i little liquidation of long cotton were re
sponsible, while the recovery and advance
were due to better reports from the spot
markets of the south and mill and cotton
goods centers.
, A feature of the reports from the mills
was that more southern mills were start
: ing up full time and one Carolina mill
I was said t ohave received an order for
1,600,000 pairs of hose from the navy de
partment. Sifted down, the gist of reports
■ was that improved trade was to be noted
on al Isides. even Manchester telling of a
better demand for cloths from the Orient.
Any further improvement that will point
; to larger mill takings and consumption will
’ be bound to have its effect on values, but
> many traders are beginning to use the
r argument that all bullish features have
bee ik discounted so that any falling off
’ would probably have a quick adverse es
-1 feet. A trading attitude tinged with op
. timism, seems to be popular just now.

GRAIN MARKET OPINIONS
E. F. Leland & Co.: We are of opinion
that it will take a big export business in
corn to counteract the hedging pressure.
Hurlburd Warren & Co.: Corn appears
to be cheap enough, but should wheat de
cline, corn will be dragged down with it.
Harris, Winthrop & Co.: We remain of
opinion that cash conditions will force lower
prices for all grains and continue to favor
sales.

The coroner’s jury failed to order
him held, and he was turned loose,
but since the recent investigation of
the gambling situation, it is claimed,
evidence has been secured which
shows that the killing was a pre
arranged plot and was a result of a
dispute over the distribution of mon
ey secured from victims.

HUNGER-STRIKING '
WIFE QUITS FAST 5
AFTER 48 DAYS
DANVILLE, 111., Jan. 15.—-Mrs.
Sadie Harrington broke her fast to
day after abstaining from food for
forty-eight days, after a two-hour
plea by the Rev. G. S. Payne.
“I am ready for my breakfast now,”
she said, after Mr. Payne had won
the victory.
Mrs. Harrington was fasting to
force her husband to join the “Church
of God.”
Mr. Payne called Miss Ada Peery,
a nurse, to bring a cup of milk
which Mrs. Harrington immediately
drank. Mr. Payne waited long enough
to see that the milk was retained on
her stomach.
“Mrs. Harrington was very gentle
and submissive throughout my con
ference with her and showed a won
derful spirit,”, said Mr. Payne. “She
did not attempt to argue with me
and I stated incident after incident
in the Bible to prove to her that the
Lord did not expect anyone to go
without food.”
Mrs. Harrington undertook the
fast in an effort to persuade her
husband. Ernie Harrington, to doff
his butcher’s apron and don the ha
biliments of an evangelist of the
Church of God.
Mr. Payne said he did not doubt
the sincerity of the woman and was
quite sure she is pious.
“Mrs. Harrington has no Biblical
foundation whatsoever for her fast,
in spite of her protestations. Os
course, Moses and Christ fasted, but
look who they were—supermen. Ab
staining from food is suicide. We
have very definite divine laws
against suicide.
“The Lord never asked anyone to
do anything that would destroy hap
piness in the home. Mrs. Harring
to 's fast is undermining the Har
rington home and in all probability
will mik the husband worse instead
of better.
“Inducing Mrs. Harrington to eat
was a sacred duty. It was a ques
tion of saving a life.
“The Bible says ‘Thou shalt not
kill.’ Fasting is killing one’s self
and is surely included in the com
mandments. Abstaining from food to
its ultimate conclusion—death —is
taking life created by the Almighty.’
Mr. Payne, when told that since
she has started her fast. Mrs. Har
rington has said she is doing it not
only to save her husband, but also
other sinners, and that it was prob
able that a new church would be
founded in Danville on her fast, said:
“The Lord in the Bible and
the history of churches never yet
called a woman to lead such a move
ment.” He said that duty has al
ways fallen upon man. “I don’t know
why, but it has, and I don’t see why
the Lord should change His pro-
, gram now.”
Mr. Harrington took a group of

BY ROBEST T, SMAIL
(Leased Wire Service to The Journal.)
(Copyright, 1921.)
MARION, Ohio, Jan. 15. —Senator
Warren G. Harding has chosen the
Biblical text upon which he will take '
the oath of office as president of the
United States. He will ask that the
same Bible which George Washington
used be opened at Micah, sixth chap
ter, and eighth verse, which reads:
“He hath showed me. O man. what
is good; and what doth the Lord re
quire of thee, but to do justly, and
to love mercy, and to walk humblv
with thy God.”
Senator Harding’s thoughts have
been much upon the Bible of latA.
For the past two weeks he has been
taking numerous degrees in Masonry.
First of all, he was elevated to thir
ty-second degree in the Scottish Rite.
Then he was made a Shriner. More

he has been taking the Royal Arch
degrees. So he has been surrounded
by a particularly solemn religious
atmosphere. The president-elect com
mented upon this last night and
pledged his belief in the efficacy of
prayer. He believes that prayer will
help him with the problems that are
before him in the White House.
Senator Harding said that the af
fairs of this nation have been adrift
for a long while, but he is approach
ing his task with confidence and
faith. He believes faithfully that God
will make him equal to the respon
sibility.
“During the past ten days,” he
said, “I have been taken far back into
the story of the creation and I have
found it adding to my sense of reli
gious devotion. Prayer grips the
heart and adds to one’s confidence.”
