There was no evidence of lack of funds today although rates were well maintained. Of general news the condi- tions reported from all quarters were bril- liant.

 LETTER.

 Faunce. Managers phone 73s.)
 New Orleans. March 2O.-The cotton mar ket while dull today held steady under tone and in the trading up to 1 o'clock showed an advance of 10 points above the level of closing Saturday.
 Speculation today dead, neither pro fessionals nor the outside public taking enough interest in the staple to back what ever opinions they might entertain by &C., tually committing themselves and their pocketbooks to one side or the other
 Sentiment in the local market remained about as bearish as ever, but New York spouted a great deal about the Hong" side. If anything. the strangeness of seeing the usual situation reversed and New York more forcibly brought to the attention
 The market opened quiet and steady, 20 points higher than Saturdays close. It was weather market from the .rst call and traders did little else but pore over in the area of the low pressure now making its way across the cotton belt. The map today was not very unfavorable, heavy rains being reported in a few districts only principally on the coast but some small places in Texas told of some heavy rains Friday and Saturday which did great dam age to truck farms and corn besides de- laying preparations for putting in the cot ton crop. In additio nto this, the forecast predicted raj nfor large portion of the cotton belt for tonight and tomorrow. The fear of bad weather and reports that Wall Street was buying m the New York market held prices up throughout the day.
 Bulls gave the market no support to speak or while the bears showed inclination to operate. The active months advanced point by point. on extremely limited trad ing until just before 1 o'clock, they were 10 points higher than the closing of satur- day.
 That the cotton crop is getting a bad start is admitted by every fair minded trader. whether he is bullish or bearsh in his views Fair minded traders, however are not disposed to believe in such re- duction of acreage tho radical bulls talk of The recent rains pn Texas have routed potatoes and corn already planted. besides washing out or drowning a great deal of garden truck The cold weather of the winter did away with a large portion of the oat crop. Much cotton land was planted in oats, corn, potatoes and truck last winter and this sp:ing, but ill-luck has attended these attempts to diversity crops and at this late day 1t looks as if farmers fin many sections would have to plant cotton or nothing 1t Is too late to plant the other crops intended
 The spot market was quiet and steady. Early in the day factors asked an ai- vance of 1-16c, but later they took Satur- days prices. Offerings were moderately good. the demand not so strong and the market lacked snap.

It was held by many that the rain and the backward spring which had destroyed the potato and corn crops in sections was not bullish feature for the reason that this land would probably be planted in cotton. The market closed firm with net gains of 9@11 points.

No One Safe From Spying.


 No one in France is absolutely safe from espionage. but it Is carried out fairly dfscreetly, and few people, ex- cept such of us as make 1t our business to know things, know to what extent their private life is spied upon. Some times, though, we do get to know 1t, and can recollect an instance in my own case when I was told at our em- bassy by an amused secretary that was Known to the police as an ex- tremely violent person." The infor- nation came from two sources; my concierge, to whom l had. I suppose, been rude with nondelivery of letters, and-this was the more serious of the two-a subaltern at the detective de- partment of the home office , itself whom had hustled a little.
 But the generality of espionage and all it's. works has had more serious re- suits than such as those which I have quoted. At the time of wrIung the truth about the death of M. Syveton is not definately kAown. But one thing Is quite certain. The govern ment of France descended as low as to collect, with the help of the French Freemason organization. the dossiers of army officers whom the late minis ter of war believed to be dangerous to his position. The opposition, by coun- espionage, got wind of what was going on and bought the fiches through the Intermediary of Syveton and the Masonic Clerk Bidegain. The suicide or death by foul means of tne one may have been partly due to other causes
 The disappearance of the other is still unexplained, but one thing is quite certain-both Syveton and Bide- gain would have been now alive and might perhaps be reputable members of society but for the odious system of espionage which, even more/ generally now than in the empires palmy days. has altogether undermined the moral tone of France.
