people go out on the Campaigna to spot
where once stood temple to Venus and

more marked. On the Puerta del Sol
about 1000 people stand around and do
nothing outdoors, while crowds of peo-

CAMERAS GREAT VALUE.
When Dexterously Handled at the
Critical Moment Is Indis-

She was laboriously loading her snap
shot camera, and he was watching her,
relates the New York Times.
''Now, what an absurdity this camera
business is" he said at last.
"Yes?" she said, inquiringly.
"Why, yes, of course OF what use are
they? Now take your case, for instance.
I suppose it is some amusement to you,
but of absolutely no value
She laughed softly as she continued
winding up the spool, with one eye on
the indicator.
you evidently don't know much
about the camera" she said. eff you
were at all conversant with its value,
you wouldn't treat it in that f1ippant
way"
''You press the button, and some cam
era man does the rest" he said, scorn-
fully.
Not at ALL" she replied, pleasantly.
'"There is a lot comes after that. All that
a girl needs is a confederate and cam
era to"
Suddenly he became deeply interested.
"Of course you haven't forgotten our
boat ride last week." she suggested.
His face showed that he had not.
"After your proposal you nearly cap
sized the boat to clinch it all with a
kiss"
She justified the last twist of the spool
and saw that all was ready for the first
exposure.
Now we're ready for another" she
said:
Another what ?" he asked, bitterly.

swered, promptly. "Oh, knew you
didn't realize the value of the camera.
When it is used properly and with dis
cretion-"
''Well?"

A Lure, Rather Than Determent.
Something like a year ago a coloreG
man was burned at the stake in Colo
RADIO after he had committed an assault
on little girl. The name of this col
cred man was Anderson, and his home
was at Baldwin, Kan. Less than six
months ago brother of this man was
sent to- the penitentiary from Douglas
county for a similar crime. Last We'd
nesday the only remaining brother was
bound over to the district court at
Lawrence for the same crime. The
horrible death of the first brother
seems to have acted as lure, rather
than a deterrent, to the remaining
members of his family.-Kansas City

New Orleans, April 21.-Spot cotton
was in somewhat better demand to-
day, though heavy receipts and an
easier Liverpool market had the effect
of keeping the local market quiet. The
committee revised quotations. reducing
ordinary and good ordinary &c each;
low middling 1-16c, middling and high
er grades unchanged.
Futures at the opening were 1 to 2
points lower and during the first hour
of trading, May, June, July and Au-
gust declined to 10 points, caused by
heavy liquidation, which shook out
many weak longs. Shorts covered
heavily and as offerings were not any
too free the market was soon sold out
With the demand greater than offer
ings, prices under manipulation of the
long element were soon on the upward
grade, and this movement continued to
the close, when prices were at about
the highest figures of the day, showing
net gains of to 8 points compared
with yesterdays closing.

The cotton markets closed at a
slight advance at both New York and
New Orleans to-day, with trading
upon a moderate scale. The specula-

some. Spot markets closed lower in
some cases, with the demand at spot

dull. and no urgent desire for the
staple was apparent in any quarter.
The naval stores markets closed

further pressure of the kind that has
been carrying prices downward from

New York, April 21.-Our market
opened with sales of May at 10.22c,
closed at 10.19c, and after selling at
1010@1011c ruled at 1012c at
1 p. m. To-day's feature has
been the larger movement of
the crop at the interior towns, the
semi weekly receipts being 10000 bales
in excess of last season. Opening at
a slight advance on better foreign ad-
vices prices quickly fell 10 points on
Houston receipts to rally on covering
for a reaction after a decline of so
points. Transactions shave been on
moderate scale with a general dispo-
sition to take a new view of the out
look from the present basis. July has
been in supply all the session while
new crops have not been freely offer
ed. In fact, the market has been

NAVAL STORES.

Tuesday, April 21.
SPIRITS-The turpentine market
opened steady at 4Sc, sales 100 casks,
and closed steady and unchanged,
sales 50 casks. The demand was mod
crate throughout the day. No urgent
demand was apparent in any quarter.
The absorbing topic in naval stores
circles at the moment is the probable
control that will be exercised over it
by the new conditions in handling the
product. When 1t is desired to with
hold support from the basis market
it is claimed it may be easily ham
mered by buying at other points. And
the factors here claim that producers
who ship to other than the market
where quotations are made for the
products make it possible for export
erS to put pressure upon that market.
Factors claim that if the stuff came
to this market and buyers were conn
PEELED to come here and bid against
each other for the stuff more strength
would be impaired to the situation.
While this is being generally discussed
among the trade steps to remedy con-
ditions have not been taken. The
bulls have yet to make a demonstra-
ton. However, it is freely admitted
that the demand for the products here
and abroad continues good, and some
are wondering why prices are yielding
so readily to pressure. 1t is not un-
friendly to the market to say that the
trend of sentiment at the moment in
clines to lower prices. To-day's re-
ceipts were 1,43S casks, of which 423
casks were Savannah factors net re-
ceipts, and the exports 2S7 casks

STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, April 21.-There was quite
a comprehensive upward movement of
prices to-day led by the Gould group
and Baltimore and Ohio. sAs other
parts of the list came into the move
ment a disposition became manifest to
take profits in the early leaders, which
led to a moderate reaction all through
the list. and the closing was easy and
dull.
The movement was attributed large
ly to professional operations and COM
mission houses continued to complain
of the light volume of their orders.
1t was plain. however, that a specu-
lative party had been organized to ad-
vance the market, and they made their
operations effective to-day. Their cam
paign seems based on general condi-
tions. The Great Northern dividend
came off that stock this morning and
the assembling of the Northern Pacific
directors during the session of the
Stock Exchange gave assurance that
that dividend would also be promptly
distributed.
Speculative operations were especial
ly marked in the Gould group, led by
Wabash preferred and especial stress
was laid upon the April report of the
Kansas State Board of Agriculture,
confirming the very favorable govern
ment report as to the condition of win
ter wheat. The advance in Sugar was
on account of the rise in the price of
the refined product. Southern Pacific
was lifted 2 points late in the day on
an unconfrmed rumor that a settle
ment had been effected between the
Hartman and Keene interests. Some
early heaviness in Amalgamated Cop
per was accounted for by the illness

pectation that the weekly statement
of the Weather Bureau would reflect a
highly favorable outlook for the new
crop. In addition to this as a selling
motive, the receipts for the day were
heavy and the outlook was for small
exports while there was more talk
concerning the liquidation of the pool
holdings. These factors brought
about decline of 8 to 8 points from
the closing prices of yesterday, but
at this level the decline since the high
point of last week proved attractive
to shorts and there was considerable
protit-taking. The buying from this
source was assisted somewhat by
fresh purchases for the long account
encouraged by the rather less favor
able weather report. The report ruled
rather steadier during the balance of
the session, though at times irregular,
and was finally very steady, net un-
changed on the near months to 4
points higher on the late positions.
Total sales futures estimated 100000
bales. Liverpool to-day was just
about as expected and eXerted little
influence. Estimated receipts for to-
morrow moderate and this helped the
