 New Orleans. April 30.-The higher market today was due to the contin- uance of hot dry weather in the South Atlantic States, to a small acreage es- timate by a prominent authority and to the firmness of the local spot mar. ket. Comparatively heavy beneficial of Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama and wet. weather prevailed in the northwestern portion of the belt, in tories. where too much moisture Is be, ing complained of as delaying field work, while in the Carolinas and Geor- gia practically no rain fell at all.

 The increase in acreage to be de- voted to cotton being placed at 6.2 per cent over last years 27,OOO,OO0 acre& about 100000 acres of which were abandoned on account of the inability of farmers to cultivate on account Of the overflows and incessant rains dur ing the planting and growing season
 Planting, however is far ahead of last year, 55 per cent of the land hav- ing been soWn to date, against oS per
 The increase in the use of fertilizer is estimated at Is per cent more than
 The crop is said to have had a fav- orable start with good stands reported from Texas.
 Labor, nevertheless, and which is responsible for the smaller acreage than expected, is reported to be scarce all over the South
 This report was an offset to a cer- tain extent, the small acreage bong counter balanced in measure by the favorable progress of the crop and the increase in the use of fertilizer.
 Taken as whole, however, the statement is more bullish than oth9r- wise. for were not allowance made for abandoning of lands, which usually oc- CUTS every season, the acreage to be picked this year. providing there be no further increase during. the planting season, would only be about 2S,65O'OOo acres when the world is depending on about 30.OOO. 900 acres from which 10 obtain a large crop of about 12.5oOOOo bales in event of the season being favorable one, .,-

 New Orleans, Feb. 6..-The sensation al run on the Germania Saving Bank at the end of last year had its sequel today in the conviction for criminal libel of Peter Kiernan. the owner and editor. and Jesse Webb. the city edi- tor, of The Daily America, a newspa- per which caused the furry. The pa- ger has since suspended. largely as the result of its loss of unpopularity fol- lowing the attack on the bank, which was regarded as unwarranted.
 The America charged that Vice Pres ident Blaffer was lending the funds of the institution to a speculative planting company in which he was in terested ard cast doubt upon the integ- rity of the institution. Kiernan de- nied responsibility at the time. but admitted it when he went to trial Louis A. Hoffman, who was business manager of the paper having avoided trial by turning States evidence. The maximum penalty for the oftense Is s1,000 fine and two years Imprisonment in the parish prison. The case was one of the first of its kind ever tried here.
 The run caused the withdrawal of $700, 900 from the institution in two days. hundreds of poor depositors los ing their interest accumulations The bank, however. Is one of the strongest in the city and was unaffected by the panic
