heroic act of the year 1909, in all the English martial service.'
 Broadbent was on the ship Fantee which left Liverpool August 26, 1909, for the West Coast of Africa. Off ot Cape Palmas, Liberia, the ship ran On a reef, and it became nece sary for all hands to get to work shifting cargo. The cargo included some jars of an acid which when mixed with water generated a deadly gas. i'll lowe hold where six men were working, the ships carpenter, the captain and the first mate inhaled the gas and dropped dead. Three seamen who were just outsie fe!l un- conscious. When this was discovered there were calls for volunteers to bring back the living. Broadbent volunteered and with a rope around bis waist, was lower into the death chamber. One at time he brought the three men to fresh air, and then, barely conscious, he was lowered again, at his own request to bring up the captains body.
 This time he collapsed and was de- 1irious for five weeks The ship it. self was later succored by another British vessel and Broadbent came to this country.

DRY GOODS REVIEW

New York, March 13.-There has
been little more business doing for

situation in the cotton market remains
as perplcxing as ever. Despairing Of

largely withdrawn from the market.

that the spinners might have the OPP

was freely made on the week end that

New York. March 13.-Domcsti
wheat markets were feverish early i

plainly attributable to the conflicting
influences, which naturally served t
create much nervousness among trad
crs generally. At the outset the ton
Edency was downward, which was main
Il ~ caused by general selling and bear
pressure. prompted partly by discour-
aging cables, ample primary receipts
and favorable weather West. The de-
preston in Europe was ascribed to the

3gsultant large increase in the quantity
on passage. Almost all scalpcrs and
room traders were almost. to regard
climatic conditions West as favorable.
This view was not indorsed. however,
by conservative dealers, who felt that
unseasonably warm weather carly in
March was by no means desirable. as
1t offered opportunity for premature
growth and alternate thawing and
freezing. Selling was also stimulated
partly by the unexpectedly large addt-
ton to the worlds available supply,
3,Sl2,o00 bushels. against a decrease n
year ago OF 100000 bushels. After
wards the demand suddenly became ac-
tive. especially for the distant or new
