THE COTTON MARKET.

NEW YORK, May 4-The cotton
market opened barely steady at an adj
vance of 2 points or the old crop, but
generally 6 to Z points lower under
general selling inspired by the more
favorable showing of the weather map.
Liverpool made a steady showing, and
the English spot sales continued large,
accounting for the relative firmness of
The near months early, but May and
July soon weakened in sympathy with
new crop deliveries, as some of the
leading brokers appeared to be SELL
ing, and the entire market was nerv-
GUS and unsettled after the call, with
active positions ruling about s to 10
points under the closing figures of last
night.
A rally OF 5 or 4 points occurred dur
ing the middle of the morning on real
izing by recent short sellers and a little
fresh buying, but the official forecasts
for generally warmer weather in the
South, while indicating unsettled condi-
tons in parts Of the Western belt. were
considered favorable and the market
quickly eased off gain under a renewal
of general selling, with prices at mid
day about 8 to 16 points net lower.
The market continued weak during
the early afternoon, selling at a net
decline of about II to 20 points under
further general liquidation and bear
pressure, but the break was checked
around 13.l6 for July by a renewal OF
bull support, and prices rallied 4 to 5
points from the lowest toward 2 c o'clock.
Expectations of less bullish weekend
figures, as well as of better weather.
were factors on the decline.

NEW YORK, May 4-rhe Supreme
Court of the United States should not
be the court of last resort in matters
pertaining strictly to BUSINESS, in the
opinion of George w. Perkins, former
chief partner of ]. P%ierpont Morgan,
Addressing the Finance Forum here last
night, MI. Perkins advocated the or
ganzation of a new court, composed OF
proven leaders in the business world,
where commercial matters can be in
diligently digested. The present SUI
preme Court, Mr.. Perkins explained, is
made up of lawyers only. The lawyers,
he said, are perfectly competent to deal
with legal matters, but few Of them
ever had any business training or are
qualified to render adequate decisions
on the great questions in the world of
finance.

LIFE BUOY AND OAR.
Putting on the One and Supporting
Yourself With the Other.

Putting on the, One and Supporting
Yourself With the Other.
Very few persons know how to get
Into a life buoy, and, as In this uncer-
tain world one never knows when one
may need to make use of a buoy in
real earnest. little practice might
prove OF great value in an emergency.
Now, when the buoy is thrown into
the water the temptation is to try to
lift 1t over ones head and shoulders
or to dive through it, This, however,
is impossible. The correct thing is 10
grasp the two sides of the buoy with
fingers Of the hands uppermost, lower
yourself under the buoy and come up
through the center, then rest your
arms upon the sides. and you will be
comfortably supported as long as it Is
necessary. . ..-
More often than otherwise. in case of
accident, a life buoy Is not at hand.
In such an event an oar may be used
as a substitute Now, there is some
little art In saving oneself BY this
means. for an average sized scull is
not buoyant enough to support per
son IL grasped as the first impulse
would direct.
There is only one way in which the
oar will support a human being. 1t
must be, ridden Ike a ,hobbyherse.
The haft is put between the legs and

surface Of the water in front. Of one.
By this means the head is kept well
