New York, April l2--The cotton market opened weak at decline of 15 to A points on the old and of to points on tho new crop months under active bear pressure and liquidation promoted by easier cables than expected and rather better weather over Sunday than had been anticipated, while selling also was encouraged to some extent perhaps by the outlook for rather larger receipts. shortly after the opening there was a rally of few points on covering but al- most at once another aggressive drive by the bears and a bearish Interview pre- dieting a decline of full cent a pound credited to the heaviest sellers. The general ruling was weak right up to the middle of afternoon. By that time May 13.7sc and October to u.6oc, a net decline while the late positions were net 20 to 2i points lower. At this level liquidation gave way to covering and while the bear element was evidently trying to break July thorough to 1375c with the idea pos sibiy of catching more stop orders at that figure the tons during the balance Of the session was rather steadier with the close showing a recovery of about to 10 points on the nearby positions. The final tone was steady net Is to fl points lower. Sales were estimated at 100000 bales. Receipts at the ports today were BITS bales, against 3252 bales last week md 12s36 bales last year.

CANTERBURY CATHEDRAL.
'hiy One English King, Henry w.,
Has Been Enfombed There

HAS Been Enfombed There
The ancient cathedral at-Canterbury
sheiters the remains of only one Eng
hsh king. Henry ". That this mar
uchlar monarch should have been en-
'oiilbed there is the more remarkable
since he hreathed his last in the .Ieru
salem chamber of Westminster abbey.
ana 1t might naturally have been sup
posed IN the circumstances that he
would have been laid to rest in the alb
Dey, where so many other of England's
kings sleep their last sleep. 1t seems,
T however. that Henry before his death
gave orders that he was to be buried
In the cathedral at Canterbury oppo-
site the tomb of his uncle. Edward
the Black Prince.
For hundreds of years a story was
current that on the way down the riv-
er hurricane arose and that the peo-
pie on board the vessel, convinced that
the storm was caused by the fact that
kings body was on board, cast the
corpse into the water in the dead of
night and. filling the coffin with rub
Dish, brought it with all pOmp and cir
cumstance to the cathedral Some
years ago the dean and chapter resolv-
ed to get at the truth of the story.
So they opened the royal tomb and
the kings lead coffin. For one brief
moment dean and chapter gaZed upon
the kingly lineaments of that monarch
whom Shakespeare describes as sky
aspiring Bolingbroke' Only for a mo-
ment, however, as the body crumbled
to dust almost at once But Canter-
bury now knows beyond all doubt that
an English king rests within its walls.
