COTTON IRREGULAR
AFTER GOOD START
Covering Movement Sends May
and July Upward, Caus
ing Realizing
NEW YOniC, Jan. 1G. With the excep
tion of good buying of March and mod
erate purchases of other positions by an
actle room operator, the cotton market
was featureless nt tho start today. Tho
tone, howeor, was llrm. and prices were
t to 19 polnts.net higher.
Tho first bulgo to 17.76 for May at
tracted some realizing and was folloued
by a brief period of hesitation toward
the mlddlo ot the morning. Demand Im
proved, however, on a slight reaction, and
the market was firmer after 11 o'clock,
with actlxo months selling nbout 30 to 33
points nt higher or up to 17.82 for May.
MoM of the buying was attributed to
covering, but there was also some demand
for July from southern mill sources, and
tho failure of tho early setbacks to nttract
increased offerings probably "stimulated
buorB for a reaction after the recent break
of about $8 per bale.
In tho last l.our great Irregularity
marked tho trading A coxcrlng moc
ment promoted a rally of 20 to 25 points,
but at between 17.65 and 17 70 for May
and July, respectively, offerings increased
and much of tho recovery was wiped out.
The close was steady at a net decline of
41 to 58 points. '
Later adWcea carried May contracts up
to 17.87, or about 38 points net higher.
Some of tho more prominent local traders
ero aggressive buyers on tho upturn, while
there was continued covering on the bull
ish acrago of tho southern spot news,
but the advance of nbout $2 per bale fiom
jesterday's low Ieel attracted leallzlng
and prices were a few points off from
the best soon after midday.

atlonal Bank
ctorer
A large manufacturer who wanted to adjust his business to anticipate after-the-war
conditions, called on the President of the National Bank, one of the ablest bankers
in the East. This dialogue followed:
Banker "You ask me what I think will happen to your
manufacturing business after the war? You can imagine
that all bankers are keenly interested in that question
these days. Naturally, I've given considerable thought
to it, and my judgment is that when the present war
orders cease, we'll still be shipping abroad vast quan
tities of manufactured goods of all kinds. Every manu
facturing country in Europe is today manufacturing
nothing but what will help along the war. Therefore,
when the war ends, Europe simply has to keep on
coming here to buy. And she'll buy not only raw
materials, but manufactured articles."
Manufacturer "Yes, but how will they pay for what
they get?"
Banker "Well, we'll have to accept payment in the form
of some kind of interest-bearing bonds. You wonder if
these government securities will be good. I reply: Of
course they will. Take the case of the French Govern
ment, which illustrates the situation very well. In the 75
years from the time the Directorate was overthrown,
and Napoleon became the First Consul, to the establish
ment of the French Republic, about 1870, there were
nine different governments, accompanied with or fol
lowed by as many revolutions. Each of these govern
ments borrowed money and spent it to prevent or pro
mote revolution, yet not one of the succeeding govern
ments repudiated the debts of the previous one.
"Take England, which has had one of the most trying
linancial experiences of any nation. As a result of the
Civil War in the 17th Century, and the later Napoleonic
campaign, England's resources were strained to the
utmost, and it was necessary for her to resort to what
was called 'whip-and-spur' taxation. Along with taxa
tion debt increased, and at the close of the war period,
in 1815, the national debt exceeded .$4,375,000,000. Yet
so wonderfully did her statesmen handle the fiscal
problems, that this indebtedness was greatly reduced,
and at the same time, especially in Queen Victoria's
reign, England had an unexampled period of material
prosperity and progress. As a result of her experiences,
England entered the present war the ablest by far of
all the nations in dealing with the financial side." j
Manufacturer "Where do you get all this information?"
Banker "I got every iota of what I've just told you out
of the new Encyclopaedia Britannica. You can only be
sure the sun will rise tomorrow because it has risen
every day in the past for thousands of years. So with
human affairs, it is by knowing what has happened in
the past that we are able to form reasonably correct
judgment as to the probabilities of the future."
You, Mr. Manufacturer and Mr. Merchant, have access to the same
completes and authoritative information as the President of tho
National Bank in the new Encyclopaedia Britannica.
This wonderful work, which surveys all human knowledge, not only discusses
your own business, but every other business. That is one of the main reasons
why more than 1 10,000 business men out of its 1C0.O0O present owners bought it.
What the banker must know about business, or about political and economic
conditions, every business man should know. These are crucial times the
future of giant industries and all business is woven into the European situation.
Those who are able to discern "the signs of the times," who are qualified to
anticipate the future, are the men who know the significance of past events
in their relation to and effect upon business, industry, commerce and every
other phase of human activity.
This is precisely the kind of information the new Britannica gives you. It
tells all about the nations of the earth, their history, their progress, their debts.
You can learn about their political, economic and social conditions the debts
and sources of revenue, for instance, of the European nations before the war.
You need this remarkable book you can easily afford it and you certainly
should have it printed on the famous India paper. But the sets offered are
the lat that can be had printed on India paper.
-' Can you afford not to own it? You can not. Then act at once to get a set
printed on the last genuine India paper available. Send in the coupon today that
will bring you "The Book of 100 Wonders,' which tells all about the new
Britannica, including prices for the various bindings.
"After the War"
Out ot 0000 banks and trust com
panies in the United States, over 3100
banks or their principal officers have
purchased and used the new Encyclo
paedia Britannica.
Read what James R. Forgan, Presi
dent of the First National Bank of
Chicago, says about the popular-priced
"Handy Volume" Issue, of which 75,000
sets were sold in six months:
"As aneof the early sub
scribers, I can say that the work,
contains such reliable informa
tion on all conceivable subjects
as to make it almost a necessity
lo any one who wants to post
himself on matters such as come
almost daily to his attention but
about which has not previously
had occasion to inform himself,"
You need the Britannica a much
doe Mr, Forgan. You, too,liould havo
it on the fmou India paper.
