By the Associated Pros NEW YORK, December 14.—Cotton futures opensd barely steady; Janu- May, 18.5 July, 1824; October, 17:8¢. The mar- ket was lower this morning under a continuation of last week's selling movement, which was evidently en couraged by relatively easy Liverpool cables, rumors of an easing spot basis in the South and rather disappointing Census figures on consumption for the month of November. Trading was active, but orders seemed to be pretty well divided around the 18% cent level for the early Spring position and fluctuations were rather irregular during the first half hour. The Census report show- ing domestic mill consumption of 543,098 bales for November was slightly below the October figures, but showed an increase over last years total of 495,182 bales.

Liverpool cables were lower than due, and a Texas report on the domestic con- sumption during November of 543, 098 bales was considered disappoint- ing, although It was considerably larger than November lagt year.

Of these the people complained. Lady Godiva had the welfare of the town at heart and begged her husband to give them re. lief. Her entreaties were so earnest that the earl said he would grant her the favor only on the condition that she would ride through the town stripped of all clothing Then the lady ordered that a proc lamation be made that on a _certain day no one should be out of doors or even look from their houses. On that day, clothed only in her long halr, she rode through the town. This incident was later commemorated in a stained- glass window in St. Michael's Chury in Coventry, and today there are sev- eral modern statues of Lady Godiva in that town ™ C 5 & STORAGE.
