SPEECH OF THANKS.
Delivered by Maurice HeaIy to the Poo.
ple of Cork,

pie ct Cork.
After the city high sheriff Of Cork
declared Mr.. Maurice Healy elected to
Parliament by a majority of 1,159 votes,
the victorious candidate made the fol-
lowing address to his supporters at 2
o'clock Sunday morning: 49, 49,.
My friends, in the old days some
times had occasion to address the
House of Commons at two o'clock in
The morning, but this is the first time
have had the opportunity of address,
ing a meeting in the streets Of Cork
at. that unusual hour. Late as it Is,
however, I think would not be doing
my duty to the men who rallied round
me. so loyalty. If l permitted them to
dispense tonight without expressing my
deep gratitude for the splendid man
ner in which they have rallied round
me, and for the marvellous discipline
and loyalty which has enabled us to
win a. victory which on Monday will
be telegraphed all over the world
(cheers). Fellow citizens. said at the
opening Of this contest that in taking
the action we did we were engaged in
no revolt either against the Irish party
or against its leader (hear. hea~). That
was my position on Sunday and Mon
| day last, and that is my position to-
| night (cheers). When asked your
suffrages, I pledged myself to sit, act,
and vote with the Irish party, and I
| would call the attention of my critics
to the fact that in the conclusion Of
that pledge I bound myself to resign
my seat if called upon to do so at a
meeting Of the Irish Parliamentary
party (cries of '"Never'). That is my
answer to those who say that my 10y
atty to, the Irish party is only paper
loyalty or lip loyalty (cheers). That
| was my attitude week ago. and that
Is my attitude today. told you last
| night had no desire to represent Cork
in the Imperial Parliament except as
a member of the Irish Nationalist
party. I say so again today, now that
you have placed me in the position Of
being member Of the Imperial. House
Of Parliament (cheers). Fellow citi-
zens. 1t would be cruel to. you.. and
cruel to those who are around me, il
at this late hour of the night I occu.
pied your time in the discussion of the
topics which aroused our attention
| during the past week. Suf1cient to
say that my candidature was a pro-
test against dictation-a protest
against intrigue (cheers)-a protest
against depriving the Nationa!.ts Of
Cork Of the. opportunity of selecting
themselves the man who was to rep
regent them. echeers}: Subject to-;:that,
and within those limits. Cork IS to-:
! night as loyal to the Irish Parliamen.

ADVANCE MADE IN
 COTTON MARKET
Opening Is Steady With Prices
 a Little Higher
TOO MUCH RAIN IN SOUTH
Private Reports Show Injury to Crop By Wet Weather and Southern Spot Markets Are Report
 ed Very Strong.

New York, June 1.-The cotton mar ket made a generally firm showing to- day and closed steady at net ad- vance of 8 to 10 points. The opening was steady at an advance of 5 to Il points in response to better cables than due, talk of further rain in the cen tral belt, and a bullish crop report in dicating an unfavorable condition and an acreage reduction of per cent from a prominent New Orleans authority.
 Immediately following the call prices eased off to within or 3 points of Saturdays finals on local selling for turn, and realizing by some of last weeks buyers, but the market received good support from certain spot people and other prominent brokers, and prices soon firmed up again. good many private reports were received concern ing the undesirability of the further rains in the Mississippi valley; reports were circulated of very strong south ern markets, and while buying did not become general or particularly active, the market gradually worked higher with July contracts selling at 10.S7c and December at 1O.91c or about 10 to 12 points net higher. The close was only little from the top as a result of realizing.
 Detailed weather reports showed that showers had been quite general in cen tral and western sections of the belt over Sunday and that in some instances precipitation had been quite N. heavy. There was nothing in this showing which would have attracted much att tention were it not for the fact that a week or so ago the central belt was complaining of excessive moisture. The steady sh howing of the Liverpool mar ket was considered a reflection of trade sentiment at that point regarding pro- posed short time in Manchester.
 Southern spot markets were general ly unchanged to Bc higher.
 Receipts at the ports today were 9056 bales, against 9070 last week, and 71s6 last year. For the week, S5,000 bales, against 51 1928 last week, and 53,- 995 last year.
 Todays receipts at New Orleans, 1875, against 2131 last year, and at Houston, 1161, against 1920 last year.

SMALL BUSINESS
 IN STOCK MARKET United States Steel Still Shows
 Great Strength NO NEW DEVELOPMENTS Trading in Steel Stocks in Paris Is Thought To Be the Cause of Con
 tinued Strength, But Other
 Stocks Are Not Lively.
NO NEW DEVELOPMENTS

New York, June 14-There was further shrinkage in the volume of the stock market today, following the tendency of last week. Efforts of the organized specu- lative element were made to effect profit taking, to take advantage of any outside demand. The entire unresponsiveness of the general market to the impressive ad- vance in United States Steel proved a striking feature of the days transac- tions. The obstinate inertia of the gen eral list seemed to proclaim the hope lessness of any effective action of prices and had much to do in causing the dis couragement of efforts to move the mar ket, which was responsible for the prac- tical stagnation of the late dealings.
 The accumulation of United States Steel was most persistent and aggressive. both for home and London account. Buying from both sources was considered i'm portant and as due to influential finau- cial interests. The highest prices touched before today was 69ss on June B. As the half per cent quarterly dividend came off the stock last week today's price of 69B exceeds the previous record by that much additional. Aside from the impression made by the buying itself and inference drawn from 1t, there was no new deyel- opment concerning the property to ac- count for the strength of United States Steel The introduction of it to the Paris market came into renewed discussion and it was urged that the beginning of ac- tive trading in Paris might be made the occasion for a stock market demonstra- ton.
 Amalgamated Copper passed from un- der the depression which has held it for several days and moved upwards, in spite of another decline in London and unfavorable opinions on the trade position reported from Paris. Paris itself gave over the active selling of coppers which it has been following in connection with the speculation in South African gold mines, which has engaged the attention of Paris operators. The falling back of the Paris cheque on London indicated a relaxation in the pressure for remittance from Paris to London, which carried the cheque sharply upwards in connection with the London stock settlement last week.
 Union Pacific made some show of strength but Southern Pacific was heavy helping to the confusion of speculative sentiment. Much of the gratuitous infor- mation in the shape of tips distributed before trading began went wrong today and this was another factor in keeping sentiment unsettled. The Hill stocks were persistently heavy, although impetus to the United States Steel movement also was contrary to the heralded promise. Outside of United States Steel the most conspicuous stock in the days dealings was Wabash preferred. The rise in that stock to 61A was accompanied by cir cumstantial reports of a coming absorp- ton by the Lackawanna, with a guar antee of dividend on Wabash preferred as a compensation While circumstantial

 Most of the Senate's attention was given to discussion of the Philippine su- gar and tobacco tariff, the finance com mittee's substitute for the House provi- sion being considered. It was argued on the one hand that the sugar trust and not the Philippine producers would benefit thereby; and on the other hand to admit into the islands sugar free of duty would open the way for its free admission into this country. An amend ment to admit sugar into the Philippines free of duty was lost il to 49 Senator Aldrich said that President Taft has in- dorsed the Philippines paragraph. Senator Clay of Georgia expressed the opinion that Congress will be in session until August l, and possibly until September
 Flag Day was observed in various ways throughout the city and at the home of Francis Scott Key, author of the Star Spangled Banner a fac simile of the Fort McHenry flag was raised.

huhhard Rros. & co.,a Letter..

New York. June 14-(SpeciaD- mar ket after the advance on the strength in Liverpool responded to poor advices from the Mississippi valley, where too much rain is retardlng field work Sell CTS are timorous and general interest in the market after the unexpected demand on Saturday Is wider. Trading latterly has been local but the possibility of crop delay with the attendant uncertainties of future conditions stimulate the buyers rather than the sellers. This Is radical change from the realizing tendency of the past few days. Trading is not on an extensive scale as yet and some liqui- dation of long holdings held prices in check but the feeling today Is better than for some time and apparently for good reason. During the later afternoon offer ings were freer especially for Decem- Der, which at 10.90, was in large supply. The market was well sustained and closed steady at the advance, the decline from the highest figures being in the nearer crop positions.
