COTTON LETTER FROM NEW YORK

NEW YORK, April 16.-Cables
came better than due this morning
and with the weather man none too
good prices worked up bit, but at
tracted sellers for profits and the mar
ket worked off some and after that
held steady to midday. The coming
of the holiday period naturally made
for dullness, traders evening up and
the absence of fresh incentive prev
ented an upturn. The weather was
wet, rains being general but as a
rule, not very heavy, and did not
look bad enough to inspire much
buying. Forecast is for fair in the
west tomorrow and rains and colder
in the East Spot business was res
tricted, but such was to be expect
ed. 1t is felt that after the holidays
there will be more interest in this
department but of course the weather
will be the dominant influence.

NEW TELEGRAPH COMPANY
BY UNION OPERATORS

NEW YORK, April 16.-(SpeciaD -
When the strike of the telegraph OPP
orators was at it's height last fall it
was announced by the local board of
strategy that a new telegraph com
pany was being organized which
would be controlled by union opera
tors and which would transmit mes
sageS for a cent word. Late in
January Leavenworth K. Davis ar
rived here from Chicago with the
original scheme, planned by him and
kept going in Chicago, where the
telegraph operators were much more
inclined to give up their savings for
something that offered them an OPP
portunity to get square with their
employers.
The promoter calls his concern the
American Union Telegraph Company, a
name that is still owned by the Wes-
tern Union.
No purchaser gets his stock certifi-
cate until Trustee Davis has sold $4,-
100000 worth
Although Mr. Davis declares that he
himself has sold 100000 worth of
stock in the last three months, he has
not had his company incorporated,
and hasn't even taken the trouble to
register the trade name in the coun-
ty clerks Office. To visitors he de-
clares the company will have line
working to Chicago within a few
weeks.

COTTON SlUMPED ON
EVE OF HOLIDAYS
Bidding Below Quotations
Locally FruitIeSS.

Evening up for the Easter holidays
was the order in the cotton market
yesterday and as a resultant prices
broke sharply, more than carrying
away the gains of the day before.
Trading was only moderately active.
Liverpool was a little better than
due, and this raised prices at the
opening at New York, but New Or
leans failed to enthuse. Prices were
steady for time, but a sagging then
lied a little, but in the late session

higher, but after an early steadiness,
grew easier. The close was 2 points
up from the bottom, u to II points
below the final for Wednesday. Spots
were marked down 10 points, to $50,
the lowest for the season. New Or
leans opened 4 points higher for
May, unchanged for July and October
and 1 point lower for December.
Prices improved a few points, only
to sink below the opening level. In
the afternoon the market broke very
sharply, the close being 10 to Is
points below the final for Wednesday,
Spot quotations were unchanged.
Liverpool opened 5 to points
higher, and closed around the same
level. Spots were quoted points
higher the sales being 5000 bales.
Locally no sales were reported.
Some cotton was purchasable on
basis around 10 cents for good mid
ding, but the best bids were IA of
cent or more below that figure Quo
tatiOns are unchanged from Wednes-
day.
The local exchange will be closed
until Monday, as the New York mar

Women Who Wear Well.

1t is astonishing how great a change q
few years of married life often make in
the appearance and disposition of many
women. The freshness, the charm, the
brilliance vanish like the bloom from
peach which is rudely handled. The
matron is only dim shadow, faint echo
OF the charming maiden. There are two
reasons for this change, ignorance and
neglect. Few young women appreciate
the shock to the system through the
change which comes with marriage and
motherhood. Many neglect to deal with
the unpleasant pelvic drains and weak
neSseS which too often come with mar
riage and motherhood, not understanding
that this secret drain is rObbing the cheek
Of its freshness and the form of its
fairness.
