NEW ORLEANS, Jan. t'.O.-Small declines and advances featured the cotton market today. Scalpers took to the short side, but the market dis played resistance of its own to sell ing pressure. In the early trading short selling was sufficient in volume to put prices 2 to 3 points under yes terday's close, in the face of very iavoruble cables, but later when the shorts bought back their cotton they put the market up on themselves and brought about a net advance of 4 to 6 points. The close was 1 to -I points up. The small mill takings shown for the week caused much bearish com ment, but their influence was not last ing. The export movement remained the dominating Influence and surprise was shown by traders generally when thc statistics pointed to clearances fo rthe month of 1.260.000 bales against 1,066.000 a year ago. Clear ances this month were the largest of any month this season and for the first time this season the month's ex ports were in excess of the exports for the corresponding month last year.

Jan. 30.-Cotton lost an early advance during the day. but steadied on covering and closed at :i net gain of from 2 tu 7 points. I Liverpool not only failed to follow yesterday's local weakness, but clos ed nt an advance on some positions and the market here opened steady at a 4 to fl point advance. Primate ca ble sattrlbuted the strength abroad largely to continental buying and trade interests were moderate buy ers here during the earlv session. After the early spurt the market turn ed easier under a renewal of AVall Street selling, and selling by houses wjth New Orleans connection's. As tive months broke to a net loss of 2 or 3 points under this pressure but trade buying continued and prices rallied several points from the lowes' price before the close.

I think every man, every young man, ought to have a little library of his own, even if it is only half a dozen good.books that ho can carry around with him in the bottom of his trunk books that he bas tried and tested. I books that he loves, books on whose pages he can mark himself, hooks he will read with his best girl when he is fortunate enough to get one and that they will mark together perhaps. Be gin early to have a little group of your own books. Take them into your life, j so you will enrich your life with lar-1 ger and nobler thoughts and feelings and so become a richer and a larger i and a nobler and a saner and a netter balanced man. You yourself will be of greater value to the community. Not simply iv??l you have a greater earning power through efficiency, but you yourself will be of greater value to the community, will be a better man j to Uv J with, and you will have more j to give to that common thought and feeling which is the real life of our1 nation. We measure our country by her size, by her wealth, by her power as a world force. Thia is not the right way. The way to measure our coun try is by the number of fine, true, no ble men and women who are ready to consecrate their powers and their In telligence to her service.-Hnry Van Dyke. i -1-: j FOB VARIOUS PURPOSES. , London Tlt-Blts.

Announcement Dividends of 1915 THE regular dividends to be credited by the Mutual Bene fit Life Insurance Company to its members on-partied pating premium paying Life and Endowment policies upon their anniversaries in 1915 show a substantial increase over the regular dividends credited in 1914. Such increase results from the fact that it has become unnecessary for the Company to retain for expenses and contingencies as large a portion of that part of the stipulated premiums provi ded therefor as has heretofore b*en retained for such pur pose. This is the third increase in the regular dividend scale of the Mutual Benefit since the present premium rates and re serve basis were adopted in 1900. The regular dividend scale adopted in 1900 was continued through 1909. The in- * creased scale adopted in 1912 has been continued up to this time. The new increased scale for 1915 became effective .w January 1st. ....< Absolute Security ! Liberal Policy Contract ! Lowest Possible! IN connection with the above announcement that dividends for 1915 oft prfcrri lum paying life and endowment policies have been increased very substantial ly over those payable on similar policies in 1914 it is worth whil? to call'!At tention to the following record of the Mutual Benefit Life insurance Company covering the past seven years. To our knowledge the record is one which his not been equaled by any other life insurance company. In 1907 t>e Mutua! Benefit still further liberalized, for both oM and new policies, its non-forfeiture system adopted in 1879 and modified in 1895 and 190*0. ! In l9o8 the Company established a Suspended Mortality fund, which relieves the Company of the necessity of changing its dividend scale to meet fluctuations in death losses from year to year. In 1909 the Company increased its dividend scale for 1910 and declared a *' special dividend of $675,000.00 payable in 19io in addition to the increased divi- ' dentL In 1910 the Company established a Real Estate Depreciation fund. , * In 1911 it established a Security Fluctuation fund and made a further increase in its dividend scale for 1912. In J 912 the Company established higher reserves for policies ?s?i?ect prk>r tr> 1900, and provided that thereafter the loan and surrender values of such* policies should be based upon such higher reserves. In 1913 the Company declared a special dividend of $861,000.00 in addition to the regular dividend, and adopted an increased dividend scale for the year 1915. In 1914 the Company declared a special dividend of $861,1,^0.00 in addi tion to the regular dividend, and adopted an increased dividend scale for the year 1915. lt will be noted that the several increases in thc Mutual Benefit's dividend scale and the declaration of special dividends have followed the establishment of contingency reserves computed upon a mathematical basis, and which, In the light of past experience, are amply sufficient to protect the Mutual Benefit against those contingencies to which all life insurance companies are liable. The first concern of the Mutual Benetit Life Insurance Company has been the absolute security of its outstanding policy contracts. Secondly, it has endeavored to liberalize its policy contracts to the fullest possible extent and to furnish insur- j* ance thereunder at the lowest possible cost. Inasmuch as it has been established that the earnings of the Company are sufficient to maintain the contingency re- ' serves upon the bases adopted and to provide for increased dividends, such increase has been made. The Mutual Benefit confidently presents its claims to the patronage of the'in suring public upon the ?bove record, which is unique in the history of life'insur-' ance. M. M. M?TTISON, General Agent.
