THE BEST CHRISTMAS BOOK
There i* no book that measures up to the Bank Book as
a Christmas Gift. You can give it to the family or any
member of the family with the feeling that you could not
have selected a more satisfying, a more worthy gift.
It is a book that may be read from day to day with add-
ed pleasure as the balance grows and the recipient will
be taught the value of saving as the means of acquiring
something worth while.

The future market this week has
had to take back seat this week has
situation has more than been the
center of attraction. But the future
market, which was fast becoming
abandoned and without friends, is
looking on with an air of extreme
confidence and we must say that its
big brother, “Spots,” came to the
rescue at one of the most critical
moments of this season's happenings.
Reports are being sent in from all
parts of the cotton bell to the effect
that cotton is being held in strong
hands and that is exceptionally hard
to buy, even on a high basis.
And such a situation brings to mind
that u large portion of this expected
13,500,000 bale crop is already seid.
The world's cotton manufacturers
seem to be willing, If not eager, to
stock up at about present prices and
it still looks doubtful whether a crop
of 14.000,000 bales would keep them
out of the market.
Of course It is not to be denied
that a 14,000,000 bale crop would
leave a fair-sized surplus to be car-
ried over into next year and since
a surplus supply of cotton is such
a novelty, during the past weary
succession of small crops, its final
effect depends upon whether next
year’s crop promises to lie sufficient
or insufficient. If the South should
reduce the acreage planted or tn"
bollweevil should reappear the tail-
end of this season's crop would prob-
ably bring much higher prices.
Therefore, it might behoove us to
realize and appreciate that 23e is
rather cheap for cotton as the new
year draws nigh.
Many complaints are also coming
in because of the increasing number
of light weight bales. Lubbock, Tex-
as, wires that bales on the Texas
plains are running extremely light
with many of them under 400
pounds. Spur, Texas, says that the
last 1000 bales ginned there averaged
453 pounds. Last year’s crop in
running bales was 10,292,000 but
when reduced to bales of too pounds
gross weight only amounted to 10,-
140,000.
Spinners’ takings tor the week end-
ing last Friday amounted, to 464,-
000 bales against 405,000 “last year
and the takings for the reason are
5,361,000 against 5,007,000 last year.
Mr. and Mrs. W. S. Horn and lit-
tie Edith left Saturday morning for
Opelika, All, where they will spend
Chrisimas with Mr. Horn’s sister.
We want to bring home to you
the fact that we have Anti-Freeze

Miss Alice Howell left Saturday
morning to, Hragpville to spend
Christmas with her parents, Mr. and

back has been expected and it will
leave the market in a much healthier
condition. We recommend buying all
grains at present prices, especially
May oats.
Indications now point to bullish
week-end figures; in other words,
the spinners’ takings are expected
to be large and the into-sight small
in comparison. The trade and mills
are buying and the heavy advance
in Egyptian cotton is being reflected
in th'' demand for American staples
which should Boon have effect on
prices for the better character of
shorter cotton. With spot offerings
light and the demand brisk, we nat-
urally expect the market to work
higher and while we cannot advise
purchases on any advance, we feel
that the strong spot situation has
asserted itself against the extremely
bearish figures of last week, and we
advise purchases on any recessions
for moderate profits.
