of the city were occupied by cavalry
who charged continuously in all di-

shots were freely exchanged. Sud,

A similar scene was enacted at an

ENGLAND DESIRES PEACE.
Her Relations to other European
Nations Explained by Sir
Edward Grey.

London.-Sir Edward Grey, secre-
tary for foreign affairs, on Monday
cleared the political atmosphere and
poured oil on the turbulent waters
of Anglo-German relations in a
speech in the house of commons.
The foreign secretary reviewed
the whole Moroccan episode, from
the sudden appearance of the Ger
man gunboat Panther at the port of
Agadir up to the signing of the
Franco-German treaty. He unfiinch-
ingly upheld the attitude taken by
the British government, but at the
same time declared that it's action
was never antagonistic to Germany
or to any settlement she was able to
arrange with France which did not
threaten the rights of Great Britain.
Sir Edward made no secret of the
fact that the situation had at one
time been tense, but thought his
statements would prove sedative
to world which had been indulging
in a fit of political alcoholism and
that the time had arrived for it to
get sober and to keep cool.
Great Britain had no secret treaty
and both France and Russia knew
perfectly well that British pubic
opinion would not support any prov.
ocatiye or aggressive action against
Germany.
Germany's strength in itself was a
guarantee that no other country
would seek a quarrel with her, but
II nation had the biggest army In
the world and very big navy and
was going to build still bigger
navy, then that nation must do all
In its power to prevent apprehen
sions of others, lest that power
should have aggressive intentions to-
ward them.

OLD CROP SHORTS APPEAR NERVOUS
Was Result of Firm Cables, Decreasing Receipts and
 Active Demand

New York, April 6-The old crop snort interest in the cotton market appeared 10 be more nervous today, probably as d result of firm cables, decreasing receipts and reports of a more active demand Tor spots from the continent At any rate, near months more than recovered the losses of yesterday, and the market closed steady, net 15 points higher to points lower; new crop months being unchanged to-4 points lower, while the old crop was to 15 points net higher.
 . The opening was steady at an advapce of to points in response to higher cables than looked for and covering by some of yesterdays sellers. The leading bulls did not seem to be giving the mar ket much support, and a favorable view of recent weather conditions was reflected in very light demand for the-new crop months, but old crop values continued to advance until active months were about 12 to 13 points net higher. At this level, which represented new high ground for the movement, with May selling at 4.49c and July at IA S2c, offerings became heav- fer and suggested that there would be lOt Ol Mdy COllOI TUT sdie 1f'ovS. This evidently was reassuring to the re- maining short interest and covering In the late trading was a little less urgent, but only slight reactions occurred, and closing prices were within point or two of ths best. Early estimates place the into-sight for the week well under the figures of last year, and while exports are TOW running very much lighter, it is predicted by the bulls that spinners' talk ings for some time to come will prove heavy enough to cause rapid decrease in the visible supply. This prospective strengthening of the statistical situation In connection with favorable trade accounts from Lancashire. and rumors regarding the strength of the old crop bulls operat- ing on the local market seemed more or less responsible for today's covering movements.
 Receipts at the ports today. 4aS1 bales. against 7177 last week and D,S74 last year. Todays receipts at New Orleans, 1929 bales against 1779 last year. and at Hous- ton, 1884 bales, against 1043 last year.
