IN NEW ORLEANS COTTON
Now Orleans, Nov. IT. Cotton was de
pressed today presumably by liquidation of
speculative long lines. The market opened
at the decline and was at Its lowest In .the
early trading, . when prices were I to
points down. There was some recovery
around the middle ot the day and later
prices were 1 to 1 points over yesterday's
close on a rumor that a private bureau re
ported MJO.OOe bales ginned to November
14. Only .momentary strength was shown
and the market closed at a net loss of i
to 4 potnta
Weather reports from the Interior were
bullish and much damage to the rrop was
olalqied as the - result of the recent cold
snap, but. this did not stimulate demand,
although It gave the market a fairly steady
undertone. A feature of the-day- was the
report that spot Interests were absorbing
borne ot the contracts the longs were un
loading and there were signs ot a better
demand for spots In the Interior.

, Vw - IorkvNov.-42T market- was
quiet and absorbed a large quantity ot local
selling In a manner which was rather of a
surprise to those who kept watch on the
amount of cotton sold, apparently a long
arcount selling out and going short. Other
wise the transactions were limited In' char
acter. Much stress was put upon on the
small export demand as probable to bring
about a lower market and of the pessimist
tic views held by exportera On the other
hand, more demand for llnter has appear
ed, showing the constant Increase In th

price. Example: Minniing is quoted at n.nuc ior eavannan ana uooa Miaunng is do
'"on." Therefore, 11.60 plus 50 equals IS cents, which is the price paid for Good Middling.

Anyway, it can at least be said In
favor of Claude KUchln that he hag
put the old second North Carolina
district on the map. And not only
the district, but also full many a
flower which seemed to have been
born to blush unseen and waste 'ta
fragrance on the desert air haa been
lifted out of the old second's desert
of obscurity and placed upon the
mountain top of notoriety. For ev
ery day along now The New York
Herald la publishing statements from
citliena of the second district op
posing the stand Congressman KUch
ln haa taken against the President s
program of preparedness. Of course
The Herald's object la plain. The
Herald is seeking to convince Mr.
Kltchln, who Is just now a right im
portant personage In this Republic,
that his own people down In Halifax
County have turned against him.

to his list. Some time ago hn rolled

As head of the State Public Service

over again.
After many weeks of perseverance
he cHn now elgn his name legibly with
his left hand. His friends say his left

of his right. Mr. PennyPacker Is 72
