 And then he began to remove all the things from the ice box, and put the ice in and then fix everything back in ap- pie pie order again, which I know no ice man in Philadelphia has ever done.

 We moved April 1,'' continued the lady, and that furnished Katy beau- tlful theme for comparisons. She fairly ranted about the moving vans and how they 'traited the furniture and she was utterly disgusted when she looked at the furnace in the new house and de- clared we'd never manage to keep warm next winter, and l thought she had run I.A -1,ol, @r1 1..

 If the truth were known Katy doubt less rented while she lived in Phila- delphia about County Cork"--because it's her way--she's that type, and should she turn her face from Birming- ham she no doubt would recount the many virtues of Highland avenue and Twentieth street even as much as she does Chestnut street and Locust street in Philadelphia
 In fact, it's all exactly like the old farmer whose wife, Sally, was a nota- ble cook. Finally she died, and he mar ried again, and shortly afterwards when he was giving a great dinner to some politicians, as they drew up to the ta- ble he said

COTTON MARKET
 RATHER NERVOUS Active Months Sold Into New High Ground and
 Closed Steady

New York April 1S.-The cotton mar today, but all active months sold into rev high ground for the movement and the close was steady. net unchanged to points higher.
 The opening was steady at decline of points on August to an advance of 2 points on new crop positions, which was about in line with the cables as Liverpool was rather disappointing on near months, but better than due ot. late deliveries following its four-day ad- journment.
 During the first few minutes old crop positions sold off or points, but the new crop held steady on reports tha. rain in the central belt was causing a further delay in planting and the whole list soon rallied on a renewal of bull support, foreign buying and covering by some of yesterdays sellers. After show ing net advance of about to points the market weakened again under real zing and local selling for turn which may have been encouraged by prospects for rather larger receipts, but a reac- tion of or points from the best at tracted a renewal of aggressive bull support and the highest prices of the day were reported in the afternoon when July sold at IA .S6c and October at 12.9Sc or about points above the closing fig ures of last night. Subsequently fiuc- tuations were irregular, quick break of to 10 points being partly recovered in the last few minutes, with the close to points off from the top.
 A number of private wires were re- ceived from Mississippi points during the day, claiming excessive precipitation and while there were also numerous reports of favorable new crop prospects, puy- ing and the relatively steady ruling or the late months suggested some uneasl- ness of the continued unsettled weather

WHEAT PRICE
 TUMbLERS DOWN Aggressive Bearish Stand By Leading Speculator
 Causes the Change

Chicago, April 1s-An progressively bearish stand taken by leading specu- lator this afternoon tumbled down the asc to 115c under last night. Corn and oats finished steady with lsc either way from the figures current 24 hours before. In hog products the outcome was 12EM 171zc net decline. Although May wheat suffered the worst in the selling furry, the semi-panic in that month started with the sudden unloading of several hundred thousand bushels of July. Prominent longs then began letting go of the earlier option and there was a quick somersault by the market as a whole. Previously big decrease in the worlds available sup ply total had given temporary strength to prices The bulls had also been helped through reports of Hessan fly damage in northern Indiana by assertions of acre abandonment on a large scale in western Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas. Neverthe- less the preponderance of the crop and weather advices from the outset unques- tionably turned in favor of the bears and made the undertone weak. During the session May ranged between 'S77sc and 90ssc. with the close 11ac down at SS1ac.
 In corn offerings were scanty the first half of the day. Subsequently demand was equally lacking. Rains and a fore cast of more tended to induce a better eastern call The May delivery fiuctuated from 49l4c to 49s4d497sc, and closed at ex- actly last nights level 4sssc. Cash grades were steady. No. 2 yellow finished at BOG 5O%c.
 Increased country offerings of oats were offset by an improved demand from the seaboard. Most of the price changes that took place were due to the influence or wheat and corn. May varied between S19sc and 321sc, closing practically un- changed at 311ac.
 Provisions were heavy all day, owing to selling by packers. Final transactions showed loss for the entire list-porK and lard both 7iac to 15c and ribs 2i2c more.

TALK PLANS FOR
 B|-CENTENNARY

Washington, April 1S.-( Especially )-The members of the Alabama delegation, n- cluding Senators Bankhead and John ston, held a meeting this afternoon in the committee rooms of Senator Banl1head in order to consider Mobile plans for the bi-centennary on May 26, as we'll as the improvement of Mobile harbor and adja- cent projects. The delegation was a unit in its desire to enlist the services of the government to make the celebration success, and if the citizens of Mobile say the word the delegation will urge the Secretary of State to confer with dip lomatic officers of Great Britain, France and Spain, the three countries in whose possession Mobile was severally held, in order that a naval vessel representing each may be at the celebration. The Sec retary of the Navy informed the dele gation that English and French vessels were now in easy reach of Mobile, but it was doubtful if a Spanish vessel could come in the limited time allowed.
 The delegation alto took up the question of Mobile and adjacent Improvements, and it was decided that the best course to pursue would be the continuing of the present project of improvement until win ter after next when there would be a determined effort made to get a channel depth of 30 feet, an outer bar depth of 35 feet and a width for outer bar of 1000 feet Nothing can be done at this session ow- ing to the caucus rule excluding river and harbor bills. By the time next win ter Is over the present project will be well advanced, and by the, winter Of 1912-13 the project agreed upon as above will undoubtedly be authorized .-. C

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter

New York April 1S.-(Special.) )-Cables this morning responded to our advance of yesterday and Liverpool was again good buyer here early, especially in the fall months. This buying brought an other advance in the market, although above 14s4c offerings increased, leading to a reaction after Liverpool closed. The market met with good support, advanc- ing again to the previous high prices with some scattered Wall street cover-
 ing. An attempt to take profits brought another decline in the afternoon but good support was immediately forthcoming, the market closing few points below the best of the day. There Is no change io the general situation and while the mar ket Is freely bought from time to time by brokers acting for the long concentrated interests but little outside buying has been so far attracted. Apparently the
 larger part of the May short interest has covered and that position sold today few points under July. Another failure of a southern cotton mill was reported but poor trade in this country is in a measure offset for the moment by the continued strength of the Liverpool mar ket Liverpool is due unchanged to the near and 1 to points lower on the dis tant.

half hour of business both old and new crop deliveries were to points over yesterdays close.
 Rumors of large spot trading in the interior and especially the report that one large eastern mill had bought 10,- 900 bales of spots in the Memphis ter ritory. caused general buying around the middle of the morning and the list was put to points over yester- days close. Longs took profits on this advance and checked it but the market had very steady tone up to noon when the list was unchanged to points up compared with yesterdays close. The forecast calling for continued unsettled weather in the cotton country caused buying of covers by shorts.
 In the afternoon session the market was easy in sympathy with the decline in the stock market. At o'clock the old crop months were 6 points under yesterdays close and the new crops were unchanged compared with that level. The market closed steady at net decline to points.

 The fire started in the Nassau club house, and spread along the river front, gutting the building where it originated and the boathouses of the Harlem Row ing club, Metropolitan Rowing club and the Wyanoke club.
