COTTON PRICES RECEDE

NEW YORK. May 3.-The cotton mar

considering the weakness of Liverpool
There seemed 70 be good demand from
shorts which prevented a notable drop
in prices and spot houses bought to
some extent. Later the market began TO
feel the weight of the liquidation and
the bear crowd confidently hammered
the market in the absence of outside
support, meeting little resistance, aside
from a fairly good demand for July
from spot houses which checked any
tendency to an open break. The weather

NEW YORK.

The Pennsylvania statement for three
months, published this morning. shows
that on the lines directly and indirectly
operated the company has earned about
$500. 900 less than for the first three
months last year. This is regarded as a
poor showing. in face Of the fact that
their fixed charges are s., 800. 900 more
than they were last year. and that last
year only six months interest was paid
on the SO, 100000 Of new stock, whereas
this year the new stock will receive full
dividends
The chances are that the money mar
kets of the world will rule firm before
the end of the summer If the struggle

be compelled TO come into the market
as borrowers. Already Russia is ar
ranging for a large loan. which it is
understood viii be placed in Paris. This,
of course, will have a direct bearing on
our money market, and it is likely that,

Discussing the call by the Secretary
of the Treasury on the national banks
for 10 per cent Of their deposits, the
opinion is expressed that while the call
in addition TO that scheduled for June
which together Will take from the ma
tional banks about $24 000 CO., might re-
suit in somewhat higher rates for
money, IL Is not at all probable that
the effect upon the general situation
will be sufficient to more than slightly
strengthen money rates. The Panama
payments require S50,090,09o OF which
about 81, 90 gathered together in the
ten special depository banks in New
York by the call Of March p last, will
come from the banks and the balance
from the United States Treasury. The
present working balance of $4,000. 90
Will be cut about in half by the pay
ments in connection with the Panama
Canal purchase, but the amounts that
the national banks will be obliged to
turn into the Treasury on May 10 and
on the further call early in June, will
OFFSET these payments, il being estimated
ed that the call Of May 10 will convert
into the Treasury about S120o0010, and
that expected IN June about as much
more.

burg on Saturday evening last Is still
in dispute. There are claims and
COunterclaims made as to who is

tire delegation will go TO Rockville

5 The late Alexander Salvlnl was once
playing Hamlet in small Wisconsin
town The theater was the crudest Of
structures. and the stage had been
contrived for the occasion by the sim
pie device of elevating n platform on
four posts. When the gravediggine
scene was reached draft oN cold air
blew up through the aperture in the
stage and not only caused the grave
diggers' teeth to chatter, but played
freaks with their garments.
SaIvini. entering with Horatio. heard
from the grave only a strange tumble
Of words bitten In pieces by the first
clowns clicking teeth. But when he
saw the loose garments OF the wo-k
men Tapping jocularly- in the breeze
the irrelevant sight was too much for
him. and laughter checked his speech.
He tried 10 say, HAS this fellow no
feeling Of his business that he sings
AT grareinaisings- but he had 10 turn
his face away from the audience and
laugh. while the gravedlggers carried
the scene along with much fuss Of oc-
cupation with pick and spade TN Ham

What Time Proves.

This thing of being sick and looking
for a cure is mighty serious business,
People are not given to joking even at
the first symptom of the approach OF
the Grim Destroyer. They do not want
to be the subjects of experiment, but
want medicine that has had the test
of years behind it. A medicine that has
been made and used for 20 years gives
assurance of its worth, and can be taken
with faith that they have the very
best cure the world affords. All this
can be said about DIR. Gums Improved

The Cause. of c,nieI.m.

Cynicism Is never native quality of
the mind. 1t always has its birth In
some unhappy experience. The young
man finds that the girl who has gath.
cred up for him all the harmony and
melody OF earth rings hollow at the
test, and he drops his lyrical language
and becomes cynical OF women. The
citizen of Boston has naturally grown
cynical of newspapers. The candidate
for public office who has been definite.
" retired TO private life by being
knitted" at the polls distrusts party
politics. A man publishes novel and
thenceforth is cynical of the publish
ers of novels. Yet these misfortunes
have their salutary aspect. The disap-
pointed lover, generallzing bitterly up
on the sex, is not always implacable.
A cooler Judgment tempers and re-
stores his passion, gives 1t another OBJ
ject and so guides him to safer IL less
gusty and emotional love. The citizen
of Boston, the betrayed candidate, the
blighted young novelist, all have for
their condition, even though they know
ii not valuable compensation, for
the very event that has brought them
to this pass OF reasonable cynicism has
stirred their indignation-yes, in spite
Of their seeming inertness, indignation
is now neutrality-suspicious. Stanwood
