New York, March 14.-Early news reflect ed generally better conditions in cotton. Liyerpool cables told of a very steady mar kelt for futures and a good business dolng in spots This sent less confident shorts to cover at the start and prices moved up 46I6 points on the activa options. Later, however, reports that Spanish bonds had taken a sharp tumble in London and prom isaa of very liberal port receipts started liouidation, and before midday prices we're back to the finai figures of Saturday, witn the market barely steady in tone.

COTTON OUTLOOK
Haven & Stout's Weekly Financial Review
 Confidence in-Regard 10 Future Values
special to The Age-Herald.

Special to The Age-Herald.
 New York, March 14.-It has been an un- interesting week in the cotton market. Lo- cal professionals have scalped for diminu- tive profits, and the volume of transactions Is reduced by hesitation and uncertainty in regard to Cuban situation. Some recent purchasers have also lquidated. This, however, simply affects speculation, and does not in the least detract from the force of the underlying bullish factors in the situation. The Liverpool market, too, has responded to the war outlook here, and has had troubles of its own In the form Of riots at Bombay and the development Of acute friction between England and Russia in China. The comparative degree of stead mess of the market in the face of all that has transpired at home and abroad in con- nection with international affair is how ever, sufficiently remarkable to create feeling of additional confidence In regard to the future of cotton prices
 The current movement of the crop is without any novel features. More or less attention Is being paid to the guesses now being made about the extent or the acre. age that will be planted for the new crop It is, of course, very early to draw con clusions of this kind. The conditions which now develop may or may not reduce the prospective acreage, and good deal or the surmises which are in circulation at pres ent seem exaggerated and very unreliable basis for opinions upon the future of the market. Sentiment at the South cer- tainly favors policy of restriction. But how far and by what means this sentiment will make itself felt is entirely problemat- cal.
 For the present, however, cotton, though there has been slight declines, displays steadiness in the face of speculative dis turbance, entirely outside of the cotton market itself. The condition tends to sup port the belief that clearing up of the international complications of this country would be followed by an immediate re- sumption of the recent rise.

THESE REFUSED CROWNS.
Thrones Have Sometimes Gone Begging
for Want of Monarchs.

From the Philadelphia Times.
1t is no mean distinction to have re-
fused a crown. There is probably not
one man in a million who would de-
cline a kingdom IL IL were offered him,
in spite of the restless nights and fear
full days that are commonly supposed
to be the lot of a king. Even Cromwell
is said to have refused the crown of
England more from fear of others than
from any other motive.
Blu there ave been many men since
Cromwell who have refused to wear n
monarch's crown. ThirIy-five years ago,
when the throne OF Greece was vacant,
more than one great English statesman
might have ruled over the destinies of
that classic country. but the difficulties
in the way were formidable. Mr.. Glad
stones name was freely mentioned i'm

though. as Mr.. Gladstone was a mem
Der of the government AT the time, the
proposal never took definite shape.
TIL late Lord Derby, however, who
had strong sympathies with Greece. was
offered the crown and refused ii. throw

refused the crown when Greece was de-

The throne was then offered to the pres

Two Fools In One Family.

then descending in the ordinary course
to Archduke Franz Karl. The arch
duke. however. declined the crown.
which HI handed over to mis- soE, who
still wears IL.
Another crown which has been more
than once refused Is the crown of Rou-
mania. When Roumania was declared a
kingdom IL was settled that the throne
hould descend to Prince Leopold. the
eldest brother OF the then reigning king.
The prince. however. voluntarily yield
ed his rights to the crown In favor OF
his son. Prince wilhelm. the renuncia-
ton being registered in the senate in
October. 1880. Prince Wilhelm remained
heir apparent for eight years. but to-
ward the end of 1888 he formally re-
fused to accept the rown. and his
brother became heir apparent, being
now prince of Roumania. The prince
has since married Princess Marie. a
granddaughter Of Queen v ictoria.

the great Napoleon died in exile. after

nicknamed "Plon-Plon SON of a
brother of Napoleon Bonaparte. was in
vited to sit on the throne of Roumania
as the first king of that country. but
he declined the offer. believing at the
time that he might ascend the throne OF
France. So the bird In the hand flew
away and the bird in the bush was
never caught. The man who had hoped
to be crowned king of France died out
of that country in solitary exile. He had
sacrificed one crown in the hope of re-
ceiving another, and lost both.
Early in the present century Ferdi-
nand VII. renounced the crown of Spain
in favor Of his father, who again re-
fused il in favor of Napoleon. The
great had to face a nation in
arms, however. and never took the
throne.
The story of Lord Beaconsfield's
golden crown provides us with another
instance, though there was no throne
with his strange crown. The mar in
who's brain the idea of browning Lord
B~eaconsfield originated Is now dead.
but as long as he lived he never recov-
cred from the blow of Lord Beacons-
fields refusal of his tribute. Tracy
Turnerelli received subscriptions from
so, 900 people toward his gold laurel
wreath, but in June, 1879, when he for
mally offered the crown to his idol. II
was refused.
