New York, March 17.—1 n spite of so much bearish talk and sentiment the market, while dull and narrow, shows a stubborn tone and is evi dently suffering from no vital, in herent weakness. There is no aggres sive organized support and in trading circles sentiment remains strongly in favor of sales on rallies with predic tions that if for any reason prices should work a cent or so higher the market would be flooded with higher grades of which there is supposed to be some accumulation as a result of swapping cotton of that sort for the lower grades at heavy discounts. That is among the possibilities even if not among the probabilities but so far consignments here for delivery have been very scanty and the local stock remains pitifully small. There is a little nervousness as to the next crop due to the delay caused by cold and rather wet weather and also to the possibility of a bullish report on weevil emergence. Foreign trade in terests are ■Credited with bolding a mass of new crop contracts, of which the greater part has been supplied by speculative sellers. It' will be many weeks yet before any hedging will make its appearance | and meanwhile the crop may pass I through expereinces that will serious- 1 ly. undermine confidence in a large ( yield even if the acreage undergoes, no reduction. I 1 Trade could be better but might be a good deal worse and anway is large enough to mean continued con sumption of raw material on area , sonable scale. The old maxim about not bearing the tft.il end of a large • crop shbuld not be too hastily thrown into the discard. POST AND FLAGG. A Way We Have in America. In Hutchinson’s book One Incieas : ing Purpose there is conversation about smoking in the presence of ladies. It is carried on in the homo of an English nobleman of high repute. The visitor. Mr. Simon Paris, is struck by the fact that the men do not smoke until the women go. The mail of that home, Sir Henry, says: "We have a custom of not smoking until mother and the girls have gone from the room and then yc-smoke like chimneys. It is just a little way we have." We once had "a little way" of that kind in the United States of America. It rather became us, too. Sometimes we pretend that we are forever “ofF’ the puritanical, as we call it, but we cannot quite forget the c eanliness and courtesy of the I home dining rooms where the young- i |er sons did not blow smoke, between l courses, around their mothqy’s and 1 sisters’ faces. II i Women in these United States do i | not smoke with, very much grace. A < l European said: “American women are garet wasters.” t Must Be Torn Down fbtt la tIM Iluri, l.i:. 11l i.> ill*- 1.1.

When we iMiocently asked him ] wliat he meant, he said, “They don’t really enjoy eigarets. They don't in hale them down deep into their lungH as if they tasted good. They nibble at them. They waste good eigarets. American women never will be able to smoke eigarets with any great naturalness or any great joy.” We don't think they will, either. Our European knows exactly what he is talking about, because his wom en smoke naturally. Ours do not. It I is still “A tittle way we have.” [ Foreign production of tobacco, eß ' pecially in the Balkans, lias increased PAGE THREE ‘ ' ' ■ so much since the war that American exports fell fifty thousand tons sasS§l ing the first nine months of jj Dr. Crosby A.
