SLIGHT ADVANCE
IN COTTON MARKET
Trading Is Irregular and Prices
Shift Nervously
DEMAND rs VERY GOOD
Early Upturn In Prices Is Followed by
weakness. But Lack of Offerings
Causes Advance Near
the Close
DEMAND is VERY GOOD

New York, April 12.-Early irregularity
was followed by sharp advance in cot
ton today on a nervous demand from near
month shorts and the close was steady,
net unchanged to 16 points higher. The
market opened steady at an advance of
8 TO points on better cables than ex-
pected and covering, but quickly weak
ened under scattering near month liqui-
dation and some new crop selling, en-
couraged by favorable weather reports.
May and July sold off to a net loss of
to 8 points under this pressure, but in
spite of the good weather the new crop
worked only a point or two under the
closing figures of last night, as there was
O. good demand from trade interests and
houses with Liverpool connections.
This buying, in connection with some
support for near months from southern
bull leaders, quickly checked the decline,
with prices rallying during the middle of
the day on covering by early sellers.
There seemed to be very little cotton for
sale on a scale-up, and toward the close
many shorts became urgent buyers, fore
ing that position up to 1495c or q points
net higher ana 9b points dpoNe lhe loW
figures of last week.
There seemed to be no fresh news to
account for this advance, but the firm at
titude of the bull leaders seemed to be
making those short of old crop positions
very uneasy, and in the absence of i'm
portant offerings it required no great
volume of buying to cause the bulges.
Later months sympathized with the
strength of May, and July sold IL points
net higher, but the new crop at the best
showed a net gain of only some to Z
points The close was a shade off from
the top under realizing.
The weekly weather bureau report was
resumed for the season, but had no ap-
parent influence on the days tradings, as
interest appears to center chiefly on the
near positions. Southern spot markets
were generally unchanged.
Receipts at the ports today, Is, 157 bales,
against 1887 last week and 21,6o8 last
year For the week, 5000 bales, against
$3.50 last week and 120,4S4 last year. To-
days receipts at New Orleans, 642S bales,
against 47S7 last year, and at Houston,
27S0, against 2939 last year.

REASONS URGED FOR
HIGH COST OF LIVING

Cleveland Ohio. April 12.-The high
cost of living in Ohio and elsewhere is
directly due to an arbitrary scale of
prices fixed by the big food products
concerns, according to testimony given
here today before the legislative commit
tee which is investigating food prices.
Edward Fl. Klaustermeyer. president of
the Ohio Retail Grocers' association was
the principal witness examined. He de-
clared that grocers We're unable to make
any profit on 70 per cent of their mer-
chandise which they were compelled to
purchase at exorbitant prices from the
food products corporations. They were
therefore compelled to charge excessive
prices for the raw materials in which
they dealt.
Mr. Klaustermeyer also stated that the
local butter market was governed by
the Elgin board, although only a very
small quantity or Irlgin butter Is sold in
Cleveland.

New York in 10 rounds of hard fight
ing In Brooklyn tonight O'Leary, who
has his eye on the bantamweight title
was hopeful of e. knockout. but in
stead he had decidedly the worse of
the contest and was punished severe
lyin close quarters by hard rights and
lefts to the body. He sent a tantalizing
left to the face and closed one OF
Coulon's eyes, but In spite of this the
Chicago boy kept boring in, forcing
O'Leary to the ropes. In the last round
Coulon almost fioored O'Leary with 9
left hook. Both fought at lis pounds
ringside weight, as stipulated by Cou-
Ion.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter

New York, April 2.-(Special.)-In the
morning the market was under the infiu-
ence of good crop prospects and less fav-
orable account from Manchester, where
the demand is reported to have paused.
In the afternoon demand for May TO
cover hedges brought about sharp adj
vance on the old crop, placing May at
one time some 40 points over July This
is the story of the day. The advance in
the afternoon came as a surprise, even
to the bulls, who felt that the improve
ment was not just what they wished at
the moment. as it enabled shippers to sell
against shipments from the south. Liver
pool should advance sharply tomorrow.

Good Red Gold
Continued from page 7

One day went to his office, where he had
sent fer me to come.
"Weil, Eccles, it's goodby." he said, with
something like his cid smile. The yacht S
put up to be sold. can afford TO keep her.
If YOU need any reference, I'll be only too
glad to give you the best | can
Just then boy came in with package,
and he began to open it while stood waiting
to shake hands. He sat staring at what was
in it for SO long that | edged to the door.
Then he looked up and called me back
Here's a message from the dead, Eccles, -
he said, laughing as he had laughed that
night when he played with the gold pieces
on the table. And he held up the box-for
that was what it was-and showed it to me
crammed full of double eagles in little piles.
There's ten thousand dollars here, with
Mr.. Beldens compliments" he said Il can
use this!"
And that was the first we knew of Mr..
Belden having been picked up; for the
tramp steamer that rescued him never
berthed far enough north to get into the
newspapers.
When | was done talking, the doctor
reached into his trousers pocket. Talk
about Fate" he said. Look at this!'' And
he threw gold piece on the table. There's
what started the whole business l got it
from Spanish Dick and gave it to Larrabee,
and the other day | got it from Spanish Dick
again. It's what they call piece of eight
Now, I'll tell you what we'll do, Captain.
Well take it down to the wharf and drop it
overheard when nobodys looking The
devils in the thing!"
And that's what we did We found
place where we could turn the trick without
being seen, and the doctor chucked the
piece of eight as far as he could 1t flashed
red in the sun as it had flashed when Mr..
Larrabee tossed it to Spanish Dick mother,
and as it fell could have sworn | heard the
hag croaking:
Red r-u-m-rn-u-r-d-e-r!"
