Friendly Sons Banquet,

The Friendly Sons of St. Patrick held their annual banquet at Jensen's cafe last evening. President Andrew J. Clerkin presided and James J. McMa- hon was toastmaster
 When the inner man had been fully satisfied by partaking of the excellent banquet, President Clerkin said:
 PRESIDENT ANDREW J. CLER-
 KIN'S ADDRESS.
 Friendly Sons-The pleasant duty de- wolves upon me tonight to welcome you all to this our fourteenth annual banquet, And in discharging that duty I wish to avail myself of the first op- portunity afforded since our annual meeting to tender to you my sincere thanks for the honor bestowed in your election. The honor has come to me twice during the history of the organi- zation of the Friendly Sons, and though third terms of presidents are decidedly unpopular. I indulge in the hope that I may be spared to you sufficient years to see every man at this table tonight, in his turn, at the head of the table, so that in the electen of your presiding officer you will have to begin over again.
 Each recurring 17th of March. as we assemble like this, affords to a thought full man opportunity for reflection. How quickly the year passes. and in it's pass ins how many and great things happen AS we look back to the last preceding natal day of lreland's patron saint, and reflect for moment, we realize that I,a a worked oh F,, better in the condition of that beloved isle, and that the proud ambition of it's sons and descendants is no nearer of fultillment. But Ireland's sons honor this day. and will continue to honor it, l hope, until the end of time
 It is on occasions like this that we get that true expression of patriotism that is inborn in every Irishman. In former years that patriotism found ex- pression in the St. Patrick's day par

trudged through slush and mud, suffer ing scoffs and derision. The theater and the banquet hall now happily are the scenes of celebration, and the Irish man the world over has his patriotism whetted by song and storytelling of his country and countryman's deeds of val or and honor.
 The Irishmen and the Irish-Ameri- cans of New Haven were never neglect full of the little green isle, and have ever honored their fatherland and themselves on St. Patricks day. And the Friendly Sons of St. Patrick during their comparatively short history nave shared in that honor
 With the feeling that sentiment in- spires, I welcome you all this evening, and may you all experience an even- ing of rich pleasure and entertain ment.

New York, April 16.--Riordan & Co. say
of cotton: LAS an example of a waiting
market thd trading this week has been
perfect. Prices crawled a few points up
ward, owing to the good business in spot
cotton, but the sellers out-numbered the
buyers at the advance, and most of the
trif1ing gain was lost. The net change
for the week is unimportant. Anti-holiday
markets usually show some life, owing TO
the desire of operators to even up trans
actions, but to-day was a notable eXcep-
ton to this rule The early Liverpool
cables reported unchanged prices there.
Our market opened at a Slight decline.
Later in the day Liverpool gave way, but
here. Orders we're very scarce, and the
market was terribly dull all day. May
opened at 712c, and sagged off until the
close, which was barely steady, with May
at 7.0Sc to 709c.
Little attention has been paid, during
the week, either to the Mississippi floods,
the condition of which are no better, or
to the Greece-Turkish situation, which
cannot be said to be worse. 1t is long,
we think, since the market has rested up
on a more even keel The short interest
is trivial, and the long interest is not
great. With the continued dullness, senti-
ment here has grown more bearish, in
spite of the strong statistical position.
The most prominent operators here be-
lieve in lower prices, and they rely upon
better reports from the south, which will
surely follow improved weather there to
bring the break about. We cannot share
these views. Ut seems to us that the
strong position must tell in the long run.
The demand from spinners is good now,
and we believe that before the end of the
season, they will be scrambling for their
wants at higher prices. General business
is slowly improving, and in the face of
these factors we do not see the wisdom
of selling cotton short, relying for profit
upon crop that is not yet fully planted.
The general speculative public refuses to
demonstrate a belief in higher prices by
buying cotton, and we expect the stern
law of supply and demand to cause the
advance"
