New York, Feb. 2S.-The cotton
market was not more than moderately
active. but there was considerable
liquidation and fresh selling for short
account promoted by the better
weather in the South, larger receipts
and approximations that March notices
would cause further weakness. and
the general ruling was easy with final
prices showing a net loss OF l1a2i
points. March being the weakest posi-
ton on the list.
The c~ening was steady at an adj
vance of four points on April, but
generally unchanged to one point low
cr which was about as due on the
cables. The Liverpool market was
firm ON "Wednesday, but reacted before
TIL. hour of the local opening this
morning to about the expected level.
although spot cotton continued In
good demand, sales for the two DAYS
being reported of $1,000 bales. At
first trading was comparatively quiet.
with smaller o~erators with reference
to March. But full estimates for to-
morrow's receipts were accompanied
by selling orders from New Orleans
and reports OF easier spot markets;
wire and commission houses generally
had selling orders. probably for long
account in the main. and Liverpool
continued easier. Prices here soor
had quite a severe break and with
one or two reactions of four or five
points ruled easy during the balance
the session with the low point Just
before the close, when March sold III
721. or about ga points down from the
hi"h point of Il day or two ago. The
close was within or points of the
lowest. with the tone Steadied by the
covering of early buyers at the loss
indicated above. Sales OF futures
were estimate at 100000 bales.
Receipts on cotton at the ports to-
day were 1902 bales. against 1920
last week and S.466 last year. For
the week (estimatcd) 100000 bales.

The financial strength OF the South
is further manifested in The series Of
letters from bankers in the cotton
bel; concluded in this weeks issue
OF the Manufacturers Record. OF
1910 letters received bearing upon
reduction OF acreage and diversified.
ton Of crops. together With the
friendly attitude of the banks toward
the growers SOS treated reduction and
diversified ton directly. OF these 96S
there was indicated in S44 Il reduction
i'll acreage this year ranging from =
per cent, one Louisiana letter indeed
stating that the reduction would
amount To 80 per cent. and that the
growers would return to cane culture
In l0S Of the letters were statements
that there would be no reduction or
that new land brought under cultiva-
ton would take the place of old land
reinquiShed to other crops than cot
ton. The no reduction policy seems
To prevail principally in parts of In
dian Territory, Oklahoma, Arkansas
Texas Louisiana, Mississippi and in
one region OF Alabama, while at six
teen points west OF the Mississippi IT
is announced that there Will be an in
crease in the acreage. Much of the
decrease for cotton will be accom-
panied by a proportionate increase Of
acreage devoted to other crops Of
the 512 answers on that point sos
said that the spirit of diversificatiou
is spreading and but 50 stated either
that it was too early in the season to
express an opinion on that point,
or that the old custom OF all cotton
would be adhered to.

MOTOR CARS MAY
 BE SUBSTITUTED
For Division Superintendents On
 Iron Mountain, Says Rumor

Little Rock, April "A. 4.-There is more work of reorganization in the operating department of the Iron Mountain system in the making. In the near future it is believed the private cars of the division superintendents will be called in and gasoline motor cars substituted. That this will be done is a mere supposition, but it is stated in this connection that especially on the divisions containing low mileage it will be of great benefit to the service to have the superintendent's move ment independent of the regular trains. It is said to be the in- tention of the management to contract for the construction of a number of gasoline inspection cars with a speed capacity of 35 miles an hour, carrying twelve persons. With this the superin- tendent can move over his terri tory at his pleasure without wait ing for a regular train or having to call an extra locomotive into service.

NARROW ESCAPE
 DURING STORM.

Hot Springs, April 25. John Schoer of St. Louis, one of the best known German editorial writers in the country, had a narrow escape from being crushed by a falling tree yesterday after noon. The accident occurred a few miles from this city, and during a furious wind and rain storm.
 A large tree was blown across the covered wagon and team and a large limb struck MT. Schoer across the back, rendering him unconscious and at the same time slightly injuring another passen- ger. At first it was thought he was killed, but he regained con- sciousness and is improving.

NEGRO MAN
 KILLS HIS BROTHER
Helena Man fingered By Brother Who Tried to Keep Him
 Out of Trouble. :,

Helena, April 25. John Will son, a negro, was shot and killed by his brother, Tom Wilson, Mon- day night about 1 o'clock. Po- licemen Farrell and Hanley heard the shot and ran to the Wilson house. The fratricide escaped, however, before they reached the scene. The dying man lived long enough to make a statement, in which he said his brother had killed him without cause. John was the oldest, and had often helped his brother out of trouble by paying his fines in police court, etc.
 On this occasion he was trying to keep Tom, who was drunk, from going out with a revolver. Tom cursed him and said he would not be bossed, ending by saying, "I'll kill you," "and firing, the ball entered the neck right at the juncture with the trunk.
 The mans dying statement is borne out by a woman named Pippin.
 Tom Wilson escaped, and is yet at large. A reward of $1OO is offered by the state, and this has been increased to $125 by Sheriff Kitchens.

DEENER TELLS OF

In Treatment of Convicts By Wardens On State Farms
 Horrible Conditions.

Little Rock, April 25. pr. R.
 s. Deener of Searcy, who, in 1903, was pardoned by Gov. Davis from the penitentiary state farm, where he was serving out a sentence for forgery, last night gave sworn evidence before the joint penitentiary committee of the general assembly, relative to the alleged treatment of con- victs by the wardens of the state farm.
 His testimony was obtained through efforts of the members of the committee, who are prob ing the methods of former peni- tentiary managers in dealing with those convicted to the very bottom.
 Almost in their entirety the statements made by Dr. Deener were surprise and a revelation to the senators and representa- ives who compose the commit te4 For more than two hours th9 witness was on the stand, anq he told of cruelties to in- mates of the penitentiary that, if true, stain the character of the state and present a spectacle horrible in it's every detail.
 Of poorly fed, scantily clothed, cruelty treated and inhumanely kept convicts Dr. Keener, once the wearer of the felon's stripes and later an employe of the state as physician at the convict farm, related instances that sufficed to put to blush an admirer of the
