‘mored that exporters in some Cases
were |ryln" to re-sell cotton. Some
~holders in the Atlantic States were said
to be offering considerably under basis
of futures. New Orleans reported some
hedge seiling. Market Is still waiting
‘with eyes strained toward Furope,
‘merely marking time pending orders to
advance or retreat. Will President
‘Wilson be abie to talk away the mines?
If he ean, cotton will advance; If it, it
must decline. That is the opinion of
very many.” |

CHICAGO, Feb. 37.—A break of 11 to

point of the year and & reaction of more
than 13 cents in corn will have & ten-
Ldoncy 0 make sellers go a lictle llo"
in both markets, alccr\ as prices have
itompofuy rallies, which look inviting.
Progress at the Dardanelles is offset for
the wheat trade by the certalnty of large
Eum&m needs before there can possi
bly ;ndy rellef from Russia. The
wheat trade will no doubt follow the
bearish cable at the outset, as the mar. )
ket had & fairly de rally at the close.
There |is nnlhlnfl n the situation to en

There can be nothing simpler than THE GEOR
GIAN’S plan to present you with “Illustrated Bible
Stories,” regularly selling for $3, on discount terms
which must compel your attention.
The most progressive and enlightened nations are
those where the Bible is most widely circulated.
All the thousands of volumes of modern law are
but the reflections of the plain ten commandments of
Secripture.
The Bible has survived throughout the dark pages
of history, while other books have disappeared. [t
has been the beacon light of hope, progress and civ
ilization during the black periods of despair and strife.
“INlustrated Bible Stories”” recount all Bible
events in a natural, simple and intelligible
manner, omitting all superfluous details.
