wrote a book knocking your progenitor
from his pedestal? Wouldn't II make you
mad? Well, a man in Boston is out with
a volume in which he puts what Is col
Ioquially known as the "kibosh" on sew

has dipped his pen in vitriol to the con-
fusion of a lot of New England and Vir-

Adams, John Hancock. Patrick Henry
and a few more immortals and roooeo

is 1.-THE Ioyalists of Massachusetts, and

Mr.. Stark recites that Benjamin

found out was fired from his job as post
master of Boston. Think of saying that
OF the only man who signed four of the
most famous documents in history-the
declaration of independence, the treaty
alliance with France, the peace pact
with Great Britain and the constitution

tanned the lightning and invented the
Franklin stove. In order that he may
not be charged with speaking wholly on
his nerve, Mr. Stark produces things he
has dug from the records, submitting
them as proof.

HAYWARD & c1ARK's COTTON LETTER


advices continue bullish and the market
shows resistance to decline on spot condi-
tions Market differences are steadily
widening to a point where cotton can be
moved on a reasonable basis on Liver
pool futures, condition which will bring
spot demand to our side. Pessimisra rules
in the contract market on our side. Open
ling about unchanged, prices broke 20
points in the first hour to 1855 for Nay
on news Of labor troubles in the northern
mill districts which may lead to a gen.
eraI strike. The trade situation and the
supply situation do not warrant a declie
in cotton. but Il must be admitted that
there is no bull defense whatever at
present. and bear forces in the north can
put it down with little effort. The bull
ish rights of cotton. based on the gen.
eral deficiency in supply this season, are
bound to again assert themselves.
What little long interest there was has
been liquidated this week, and the market
is short. Any attempt to cover causes
sharp upturns. May jumped from 4.60 10
.1474 OH short covering, but such gains
receive no bull backing and short selling
sets in on the slightest weakness in New
York. Bad weather prevents spot business
here here today but it is known that
Europe accepted a good many, offers over
night.
