weekly Market Review.

The cotton market opened strong on
Tuesday, on account of the improvement
in Liverpool, and the unfavorable weather
in the South. Later the market was va
riable, with rather pronounced weakness
about the middle of the week, and some
renewal of the strength toward the end.
The close was steady at an advance of
S@9 points; August, 6. S4c. The movement
was exceedingly light, being scarcely one
third as much as last year. This, how
ever, had little influence on account Of
the exceptionable weather conditions, al
though it may be discovered soon that the
weather did not have so very much to do
with it after all. Doubtless receipts will
show some increase the coming week, but
it is reasonable to look for a pretty steady
falling off from last years figures for the
balance of the year, and the total crop
now seems unlikely to foot up as much
as 10, $50, 900 bales Liverpool has exhibited
no especial bearishness, but, on the con-
trary. has shown more willingness to ad-
vance than New York has done. Statistics
grow stronger every week. American port
stocks were reduced 1000 bales, against
a reduction of only 5000 last year Taken
altogether, existing conditions seem to
foreshadow higher prices, perhaps, con-
siderably higher.
Wheat was quiet, closing heavy at
decline of about 1Ac; May, 1z4sc. Inc
weakness was due to rather more bearish
statistics, temporary subsistence of crop
damage scare and depression in allied
markets. Sharp rallies may be looked for
suddenly and the short side looks dan
gerous. especially considering the bullish
temper of the public.
Provisions were weak, May ribs closing
at s.g5. While, of course, they may go
a little lower under pressure around these
prices they are about as safe as cotton
was last october. VIM. L. WlilaIns'

"JoHN ORTIZ" IN ARGENTINA.
Austrian ArchduI<e Hiding In OBJ
scurity With His MOrganatic Wife.

London, FeD. lo.-1He L ais SOiASSt'S
emf of the Times says: According to
letter lust received here from Argentina,
the Austrian Archduke John, alias John
orth Is now residing with his morganatic
wife on a farm on the River Parana, and
is more than ever resolved to renounce the
prerogatives of his BIRTH
The Austrian Archduke John Nepomuk
Salvador, the youngest son of the Grand
Duke Leopold II of Tuscany, in 1889 re-
nounced his rank and all his Austrian mil
itarv titles, owing to an irreconcilable
., arrel with the aged field marshal, Arch
dul.e Albert against whom the impetu-
ons Young Prince was allowed to commit
the grossest possible breach of discipline.
ASSUMING. the name Johann Ortiz and fit
ting ont a sailing vessel, he disappeared
with his morganatic wife, who before her
marriage was the well-knoWn operetta
sirger Fraulein Mizzi Stubel and was not
heard of again until 1t was reported that
his ship. the st. Margaret, had been lost
off the coast of South America in October,
1Soo The next rumor as to his where
abouts was that he and most of his crew,
having escaped from the wreck had land
ed near the mouth of the La Plata. and
that the Archduke, having paid off the
sailors, had gone to Brazil
From time to time since then various ru-
nors have been in circulation one of the
most singular-and yet one which, in spite
of its inprobability. was believed by many
az his former intimate friends in Berlin
and Vienna-was that the missing Arch
duke was no other than the famous Japa-
nese Marshal Yamagata.
The chief reasons adduced for this re-
uarlxable theory We're, first, that after
having off his sailors, Capt. Johann
Orth" was reported to have gone from
Erazil to JAPAN second, that the Japa-
nase tactics in the war between Japan
and China were In exact accordance with
4be principles maintained by the missing
Archduke In his writings, which led to
his quarrel with the Archduke Albert;
and third. that no princely family OF
yamagata had ever been heard of in
Japan until shortly before the outbreak Of
the war. Those who gave credence to this
explanation of the disappearance, pointed
ont that the offers Of all the Austrian off,
GERS and soldiers who wished to fight in
the japanese army against China we're de-
clined There was, of course, no real
foundation for the theory.
Nine. Stubol. mother of the Archduke's
n1organatic wife, has all along insisted
that he IS alive, and that he viii one day
reappear among his old friends.
