Give These Questions Serious Thought. Plenty of money in farming. Are you getting your share of it? If not, why not? Ever give the matter thought? Are you worrying along with poor to indifferent live stock? Do you fall down when it comes to marketing your farm products? Study the matter out and then plan to make more money out of the farm another season than you have this.- Farmer's Guide. COTTON PRICES TURNING UPWARD. Concurrently with the lightened pressure in the money market and the growing shortage in. the government ginners' reports as compared with last year, the cotton market has been show ing up with a favorable tendency in prices. We give a bird's-eye-view of the first few days after the upward turn began : LiverpooL Monday, 25th, 10 points higher: Tuesday, 4 points lower (large receipts that day).; Wednesday, 11 to 13 points higher; Thursday, steady; Friday, 4 points higher; Saturday, l polnt higher. New York Monday, 25th, 10 points higher; Tuesday, 10 points higher; Wednesday, 10 points higher; Thursday, holiday; Friday, 25 pointa higher; Saturday, 11 to 14 points higher. New Orleans. Here the upward tendency ia shown by the following quotations on middling: Monday, 25th, 10 15-16; Tuesday, 11 1-16; Wed nesday, 11 1-8; Thursday, holiday; Friday, 11 5-16; Saturday, 11 3-8. The port receipts so far amount to 3,313,401 bales, or about one-third of a ten-million bale crop. February pigs are the best and cheapest. Horn. H. Gower,
