. part of the city where you make
your home. He employs his capital, his time
and many of your friends to promote a busi-

sales at a very small profit margin to build his
business.
Well, gas buggy drivers, our first contest was a
splendid success. We received more 100-word letters
than I thought could be written in one week’s time.
Now I’m putting on a second event. In this contest,
owners and drivers of automobiles are requested to
write in 150 words the story of their best automobile
buy. Some of you fellows easily recall your worst,
now think a moment and see if you haven't at one
time or another made a pretty good purchase—one
dealing with an automobile battery, a set of tires, a
top, a windshield, an entirely new automobile, horn
or new brand of oil or a gallon of gas.
There are lots of good trades made every day—and
remember that sometimes you pay a little more to
get something good. Bargains do not always come
in low prices.
Winning letters will be published in next Saturday’s
Statesman, Automobile Page.

NEW YORK, Jan. 9.—Cotton has
tugged at its traces this week in a
determined effort to advance and.
despite some heavy realizing of
profits through liquidation of longs,
has closed near ths high point
reached last Monday when a brisk
spurt sent January up to 20.13 as
its peak. Unusual strength was
displayed all week. even when large
offerings were made, these being
snapped up as quickly as they be-
came available.
Principal reason for the advance
lay In reports that warehouse stocks
in New York were being drawn
upon for the first time for foreign
shipment- Total of 4000 bales have
been thus withdrawn since the first
of the year. Supporting the mar-
ket also was the fact that for the
first time of the year the world's
visible supply of American cotton
showed an actual decrease of 48.631
bales. as compared with a decrease
of 43,483 bales last year.
European cables likewise helped
sustain the market, Liverpool re-
porting Improved conditions and
Manchester cabling better reports
from the domestic market for cot-
ton goods. _______
NEW YORK COTTON.
NEW YORK. Jan. 9. Relatively steady
Liverpool cables and reiterated reports of
an improving business in cotton roods were
followed by a steady opening in the cotton
market, with initial prices showing ad-
vances of 3 to 6 points. March sold up
to 16.08 and July to 16.01 during the first
few minutes, making net gains of 4 to 9
points. but the advance met considerable
rwiling and prices reacted 4 or 6 points
from the best toward the end of the first
half hour. Private cable advices reported
covering and trade calling in Manchester,
with a fair spot demand and an improved
demand for both cotton cloths and yarns.
There also were reports of a larger cotton
goods business in the domestic markets,
which probably contributed to the opening
advance.

Live Stock Prices
Have Firm Tone
FORT WORTH. Jan. 9 —It has
been a steady week in the livestock
market here, and prices have re-
mained steady at about the open-
ing figure of last Monday. Re-
ceipts for the week in cattle have
been slightly under those for the
same period last year, while the
number of calves offered here is
hardly more than half the figure
for the same time in 1925. Hogs
also have shown a remarkable drop
in the number offered for the week,
comps red to a corresponding period
last year, but the number of sheep
at the market doubled the number
at the same time in 1935.
Prices have been steady with
little change recorded. Demand
has been fairly strong, and little
peddling has had to be done, al-
though no extra high prices have
been paid.
Although hogs started the week
lower, scarcity of offerings, coupled
with advancing price of corn, tend-
ed to raise the market toward the
end of the week when several ad-
vances of 10 to 15 cents were ex-
perienced.
Sheep remained at a stationary
figure in spite of the heavier re-
ceipts- “
