In the Cotton Market

(Bv Thomson & McKinnon) NEW YORK, Jan. 2.—Cotton started the new year with a very dull session, prices keeping within a narrow range.

Tattersall's cable was rather bearish, but stated that any advance in raw cotton would create a better cloth demand. The market appears a trading affair, awaiting developments, paritcularly as to acifhge. NEW ORLEANS —Jan. 2 High. Low Close.

In the Stock Market

<Bv Thomson & McKinnon) NEW YORK, Jan. 2.—The stock market started off the new year in encouraging fashion. Independent strength in the railroad and motor shares served to bolster the market after some early weakness, and later led to good upturns in the list as a whole. Reports that the eastern railroad executives were in session today with the purpose of hastening the railway merger and announcements of various new automobile models,’ preliminary to the opening of the annual motor show, apparently inspired broader interest in the market, following rather pronounced dullness during the forepart of the session. Satisfaction was also derived from advancing grain prices, particularly wheat, and contributed to the strength in securities. As is the custom, the financial community had an array of new year statements and summaries to ponder upon. If there was any feature to them, it was the cautiousness with which predictions and forecasts for the coming year were undertaken. Authorities generally are agreed that business is pretty much on a rock bottom foundation. But as to venturing when recovery will set in, and what will make for it, that it is another matter. Nor is there any particular inclination to indulge in much prognostigation about the stock market. Recognizing the market's prerogative to forecast coming events, perhaps we might just as well let the action of the market guide us as to its immediate trend. RAW SUGAR F RICES High. Low. Close.

Following is the expatriation of Ripley’s “Believe It or Not,” which appeared in Friday’s Times: Jumbo, the Little Mule —During his lifetime, Jumbo became a famous “character” in the northern Arizona country, doing service on the rugged and torturous trails across the Grand Canyon and the Painted Desert. Though the animal was comparatively small in stature, he was noted for his ability to carry heavy loads of water and supplies across the long, dry stretches of country. He also was noted for his almost human intelligence, sometimes making these trips alone. On one trip he carried a heavy traveler a distance of ninety miles, across the Painted Desert, in eleven hours. Monday: “A Boat Race for the Greatest Prize in History.”

FRENCH THRIFI AMASSES GREAT STOREOF GOLD ‘Close-Fistedness’ of Race Outdoes That of Even Canny Scots. By United Press PARIS. Jan. 3.—Just why France has over $2,000,000,000 in gold stored th the Bank of France vaults. £iv- * ing her the second largest gold reserve in the world, is explained now, not to be due to any strategic juggling in international finance, but simply to French close-fistedness. / The French, when it comes ta saving, outcanny the Scots, car e-f fully hoarding up their pennies unA tU the pennies at last enable the) family to give their daughter a big fat dot in order to get married. Mother and father then go on saving again until they have enough to become “petit rentier, which is a state blissful to the French mind of living in retirement in a little country villa on the income of a lifetime’s careful investments. Cheques Seldom Used The greater value placed on money by the French compared with the American, or Englishman, affords the moot striking example of difference in mentality between the Gallic and Anglo-Saxon races. The average American, or AngloSaxon, finds it easier to spend than to saye. They are not of an economical turn of mind. The child is imbued from infancy with the idea cf being careful with money ana as he grows up the saving instinct becomes stronger. It is said to be just because of this carefulness that French folks very rarely trust their money . to banks, which explains why cheques are seldom used. Richest on Record Some people say the French became even more canny after the Franco-Prussian war. Defeated by the Germans, they were called upon to pay what then was a big indemnity before the German army of occupation would be withdrawn from Paris. Burning with the desire to be free from foreign yoke, the whole nation saved and saved and in a miraculously short time the indemnity was paid and the invaders were withdrawn. Now after years of saving France has her reward. At a time when other nations are at close grips with financial worries, France is richer in gold than ever before.
