COTTON STUBBORNLY
RESISTED DECLINE
Only Dealing Locally Was
in Off Grades.

Opening at small changes from the
previous close, the cotton market yes
terday worked upward during the
early session, but before the noon
hour took turn for the worse, the
close being at the lowest for the
day, to Is points below the final for
Wednesday, March at New Orleans
was the heaviest loser, tenders of
cotton being feared. Liverpool open
ed a little better than due, but when
the American markets opened, had
eased off in the old crop positions.
Buying by the Price crowd was in
sufficient volume to put values up, but
when the higher level was reached
profit-taking was renewed, and the
gains were more than scattered. The
demand for spots was easier, though
no important concessions were being
reported.
New York opened unchanged to
points higher, the distant positions
leading. For the active months an
advance of to II points was made
within the first hour, but selling Or
ders came in the market rather free
ly and the offerings were not readily
absorbed. However. the market stub
bornly resisted any decline The
close was 4 to 6 points below the last
for the previous day Spots were not
changed. New Orleans opened ,
points lower to 3 points~higher The
old crop months worked a few points
higher. then eased off Towards the
close values showed an Improvement,
but at the very last ran off again
The close was 5 to 10 points below
the last figures for Wednesday. Spot
quotations were unchanged
Liverpool was due up and came
to points higher. The market grew
easier around the middle of the day,
and in the late session realizing re-
duced prices materially The close
was barely steady, 1 lower for the
current position, but 2 to 4 points up
for others. The market is due 1 to
points up this morning Spots were
points up, the sales being 5000
bales.
Only a few bales of cotton changed
hands in the local spot market yes
terday and these of the off grades.
Prices were slightly above the quoted
basis. The demand was almost fiat.
No price above II cents for good mid
ding would have received the atten-
tention of the buyers. Cotton was not
being pressed on the market. Quo
tations are unchanged from Wednes-
day

BEGGED BY DAY

Passion for Fine Clothes
Her UndOing.

NEW YORK, Feb. 27-(SpeciaD =
Unable to dress as she wished on her
husbands income of $40 a week, Mrs.
Abraham Greenbaum, wife of a res
taurant keeper at PA East 121st

fashionable attire, visited the theatre
or her friends at night
She was arrested in Hoboken as a
mendicant, and in the Recorders
Court was sentenced to pay a fine of
$25 or spend six months in the PEN

When told of her detention the hus-
band expressed satisfaction, declaring

blacken the face of our four-year-old
son, Joseph, and take him into the
street to beg. For some time l did
not know OF this, and when she would
come home at night with So or $40
she would tell ME she got it by work
ing.
Finally she was arrested, and the
disgrace was so great we moved to
New York
Il found a position as an embroid-
erer at $40 a week, but this was not
sufficient for my wife to dress on,
and 1 borrowed money to go into the
restaurant business. Occasionally she
would leave home, and for a few
days | would not hear a word from
her. | saw her on the street several
times dressed in the height of fash
ion, but during the day she would
wear rags. Her taste for fine dress
and expensive living has kept me in
debt ever since we were married"

ACCEPT THREE BIDS
FLYING MACHINES
One Dark Horse Appears
in List.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. ~
SpeciaD-Chief Signal officer of the
Army Brig. Gen. Allen yesterday an
nounced that the trials of the heavier
than air machines and the dirigible
balloons will be held at Fort Myer
in the late summer or early fall
Over week ago the acceptance of
three of the bids for heavier than
air flying machines was announced
at the War Department, the success
full bidders having been the Wright
Brothers, of Dayton; J. F. Scott, of
Chicago, and A. NJ. Herring of New
York. That the Wright Brothers will
exhibit their machine for the first
time is thought of sufficient impor-
lance to attract the attention of the
whole world, and many aeronauts
from foreign countries are expected
to be present.
Only One Dark Horse
-. F. Scott, of Chicago, is the
only one of the bidders of whose
ability to fly we know nothing" said
Gen. Allen, but | would not be sur
prised to see him give the aeronautic
world something to think about. A.
M. Herring is one of the pioneer navi-
gators of the air, and his work will
be watched with much expectancy.
''The eyes of the world have been
turned to France for developments
in aeronautics, but we propose to
show that the United States can do
things, too. The trials at Fort
Myers next summer will eclipse any
balloon race or aeronautic carnival
ever held, inasmuch as there will be
features never thought possible be-
fore. If the bidders live up to the
specifications, there will be machines
of the heavier than air type, carry
ing two men that will fly about for
an hour or more"
