 New Orleans, March 19.-There was further weakness in the Eng fish market. Futures in Liverpool were at one time as much as $ points lower than due and spot prices are 10 points down, sales 5000 bafsss. ' s'':'. : ''... :
 First trades here we're at from $ tozS points. decline and liquidation of smaller long ';holdings increased Ahe loss to 10 points. The govern Ment report will.b published at 1 R. m..,4 our time, and gives the Fotal ginnings of this seasons growth including linters.
 :. Based on the forecast of the Ma Aiona1 Ginners' Association, general expectation figures will be between 12,9OO,OOO and 13,000,000 linters included. Anything over 13,000,- 600 is likely to have bearish ef- feet on the market.
 Weather conditions in the belt continue favorable Three weeks ago the outlook was in favor of prolonged wet spell which did not materialize and this circumstance is in the first degree responsible for the present weakness of cotton. Serious interference with planting preparations would have been a sound basis for bull operations. As l it did not come, intentions had to | be abandoned for the time being, important professional support stop ped and decline was the natural consequence.
 Deficiency in rainfall is still great in nearly all parts of the belt and

Mabsl's Changing Moods.

When Mabel plays the typewriter,
 The click portends her current mood: It tells us how her thoughts prevail And If she's feeling bad or good When peace is in her heart and brain. The sound is soft as summer rain That taps upon the window pane,
 When Mabel plays the typewriter. When Mabel pounds the typewriter, A cloud arises in the sky, The dove of peace outspreads it's winGD To other regions quick to fly At tossing of her graceful head, Bright with its crown of golden red. You feel growing sense of dread. When Mabel pounds the typewriter When Mabel bangs the typewriter. Look out-the cruef wars begun! You hear the roll of musketry..
 You hear the deadly gatling gun. Don't say her yes. don't say her nay. Don't dare a single word to say. But softly. swiftly steal away When Mabel whacks the typewriter.

Sec. Taft intimates That
He Is Not In Presidential Race.

Manila Oct. 20.-At a banquet given in
his honor in Manila Saturday night, Sec
rotary Of War William IT, Taft made n
most significant statement. lie was re-
fcrrinG to the fact that he had already
visited the Philippine Islands three times.
ana in saying that he purposed to go
there again he used this phraseology:
II hope in another two years to visit
Manila again. but then I probably will
come as a private citizen
Tho significance of Mr.. Taft's remarks
in relation to the chances Of his nominal
ton for the Presidency did not seem to
strike his audience.
The secretary's speech was received
with much enthusiasm by the representa-
tive Filipinos present when he declared
that the government was anxious and
ready to help the business prosperity OF
tho island.
While returning from Fort Mckinley
Friday night the horses attached to the
carriage in which were Secretary Taft
and Governor General Smith ran away.
