NEW YORK COTTON
New York.—Cotton opened steady to*
day, with Apri: 22 points lower and
other months 2 to 5 lower. Cables were
disappointing and prospects we'o for
better weather in the south. The big
fluctuation in April represented little
ntore than a selling order for a month
In which there is very little interest.
.Later deliveries sold 7 to 9 point 3 net
lower during the trading.
New York.—There was just about
enough buying by prominent spot house
brokers to absorb offerings on the early
decline and trading later became vety
uuiet, with prices steady a, a rally of
3 or 1 points front the lowest shortly
after midday.
The market turned easier during the
early afternoon under realising, some
of which seemed to come from recent
prominent buyers. Active months arid
about 7 to 11 points net lower.

NEW ORLEANS COTTON
New Orleans, La. —In the face of rec
ord-breaking cold weather, cotton opened
five to nine points down and worked to
seven to ten points down In the early
trading. Heavy selling for short account
and large real zing sales over the holi
days from longs were the reasons for
the fall.
Reports of freezing weather in Texas
caused buying. After going to a level
unchanged to Ihreo points down prices
fell before noon to 2 to 6 polntß down
net.
CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET
Chicago, 111. Cold weather southwest
helped wheat prices. Opened 1-8 to 1-2
higher and the market afterward scored
a further advance.
Corn started a sixteenth off to 1-4
up. then materially gained all around.
Oats rose with other grain.
Larger receipts of liogH at western
points weakened provisions. First sales
were a shade to 5c lower and there was
no sign of any Important rally.
Tightness In May wheat contracts In
timldated short sellers, but deferred de
liveries suffered a decided reaction,
longs being disposed to avoid holiday
risks. Closed weak, y-Sat-4 to *"8
up. compared with last night.
Liquidating sales more than wiped out
corn's gain. Closed weak at 3-8 net de
cline.

MISS ALICE BREWSTER.
New York.—Miss Alice Brewster, a young society girl of Elizabeth,
N, J . who is very popular in the best circles of New York, Philadelphia
and Newport, believes that Mme. Jolre, the French expert in women's
styles, iH away off the mark in her declaration that American men are
mere "rag pickers” and in most respects the inferior of Frenchmen. Miss
Brewster haw just returned from Paris and expressed herself on the fash
ionable man of the French capital is no uncertain terms. "Why the
Frenchman living in Paris is more like a peacock than anything else,”
said Miss Brewster. He takes an inordinate pride in such trifling thing
as whiskers. He will stand for half an hour at a stretch before a mirror
and brush and brush and brush and then bemoan a cruel fate that will
not allow him more time in whten to arrange his hlrstute adornment.
American men? Ah, they are the real rr,en of the world. There la not
the slightest doubt about it.”
NEW YORK STOCK MARKET
New York.--After torelgn and local
.citing of certain stocks the slight ef
fect on the general market encouvaJ«il

1 luring the morning London sold Cs
nudlnn Pacific. Steel and Kansas and
Texas and room traders let go of stock.
Block* of 1.000 to 2,500 shares of Steel
were unloaded and the effect was
shown In the gradual spread of heavi
ness In oilier quarters.
Losses of the favorite shares were
no* severe, but wide breaks occurred
among the specialties and weal.er rnII-
Voada. Prcugure on Kansas and Texas
was due to reports that the preferred
dividend might be passed later In the
month,
ttomls easy.
Closed heavy. Weakness of Industrial*

WINNERS, ALL!
With every woman is the knowledge that *hr can inakt* some man wear
his head over his shoulder if she is feeling up to the mark, and if her
clothes are right.
That is why the human male head is set on a pivot. Because, other
wise, the human male would bo obliged to twist liis iftad off, if it, wouldn’t
turn.
How wise is Nature ! How much we owe her for her tender care !
Now, this happens to he the turning period <d‘ the year. Women have
the knowledge, and they are getting the clothes. It is simply wonderful to
watch the stores these days—to see the throngs going in like poor black
winter worms and coining out like butterflies.
Everywhere you go new hats are bobbing in the crowd; new dresses are
catching the sun and throwing it back into your eves. Every woman is
getting something now. Every woman is making herself moro attractive
than she ever was before.
Make up your mind to be one of this great happy crowd today. Don’t
put it off. It isn’t worth while. (Jo through the advertising in this paper.
T’ick out the prettiest tilings von can afford. Study every announcement.
You will find everything advertised here, from the costliest to the most,
moderate. That is why this paper can be of so much value to you now. It
fits all needs; it answers all desires. *
Begin now and you’ll have some man walking backward before another
sun even if it’s only your own husband.
WHEN SHOPPING IN AUGUSTA, BE SURE TO SAY: “I SAW IT
IN THE HERALD.” IT WILL PAY.
