All Efforts to Break Prices of the Staple bo Far Has Completely Failed. The census report on cotton pub lished Friday gives 9,362,222 ginn ed to December 13. This Is 67. 000 less than the National Ginnere and fully confirms the small bureau crop estimate. During the period, of December 1 to 13 this year 486, 000 bales were ginned against 894, 000 last year and 941,000 in 1907. GJnnings last year to December 13 were 11,900.565. Therefore, actual ginnings already show a de ficit of 2,538,000, compared with last year, enough to justify present and higher prices for this crop. The 11,900,565 ginned last year to De cember 13 were 90.9 per ee:it of. the total crop. The bullish meaning of this cen sus report was fully reeognized In New York and the market gained 5 to 8 points around the opening, but for the reason repeatedly stated that we are nearing two periods of holidays, there Is not sufficient back ing to push the advantage. On all firm periods in the market there is realizing, which accounts for the the tame markets we are having. ?However, the bull position, based on the strongest of all arguments a very short crop, Is being constantly fortified by statrstfcal data, the re liability of which cannot be ques tioned. Definite results are merely j delayed until "the return of activity in the. markets after the New Year holidays, when the market will be come very active and prices are apt to advance. ! The New York Dry Goods Review speaks of good business with the retail trade and the prompt delivery is being asked on goods bought for ; delivery in a month. The very se vere winter "weather all over th* country has also created an addi tional absorbing power for goods. A decided advance in all cotton goods will undoubtedly be the re sult of the continued high price of cotton. The Holy Night. In the hush of the solemn midnight. As out of the purple skies The golden host of stars look down With inyraid shining eyes, Their ordered aplenuor seems to , breathe Of a yet more glorious sight, When the rauiant Star of Bethle hem i Shane an the Holy. Night. And the silent world seems listening. As if to catch again Some echo of tue wondrous hymn. The rapt, triumphant strain, That on tne blest Judean nignt Burst from the opening sky? Proclaiming peace'on earth to men; Glory to God most high! Oh, to have watched 'with the shep herds, And heard that matchless song! Oh, to have seen wkh raptured eyes The bright anaelic throng! Oh, to have hearkened the tidings With waich tue heavens still ring, Anu been iho first to be bidden Unto the court of the King! Ah, happy, blessed s'Jipherds, Tell us, what found ye there?? A Child who lay iu a manger, A Mother who knelt in prayer: The breatn of the beasts to waian Him, The straw for his lowly bed, Wbiie the i.ings of ange?s filled the sky, And the great Star burned o'erhead. Oh, to have knelt with the shepherds. To worship and adore The Lord who came as an infant. Humble and weak and poor! To have brought to HIb fett ia off'ring The fairest lamb of the fold? Earlier gift than the Mafi's Incense and myrrh and gold! Hush! we may still with the shep herds Go unto Bethlehem, Still hearken tne wonderful tidings Brought by the angels to them. Still kneel in the lowly stable, With the Mother undtfiled, And offer our love and homage At the Crib of the Holy Child. We may open our hearts to Hi3' comin'j, Bidding Him enter and reign, Teaching ovr souls the deep meaning Of poverty, hardship and pain: So may we share in the blessing. So catch a gleam of the light That poured from the Star and the Manger In the peace of the Ho!y Night. ? Christian Reid. Notice to Creditors. Pursuant to the Judgment in the case of Daniel J.
