4 Titanic Victim.
r. G. HERR.

Among the names of the ident-
flied bodies recovered last week
from the Titanic disaster was
that of Wallace H Hartly. The
name is that of cousin of Mrs.
Ernest Hol9ate, whom she says
was band master on the Muren-
tia, a Cunard liner. Mrs. Hol.
gate had not heard of his trans
ferring to the Titanic, but thinks
that he may haye done so, as he
was recognized as very fine
musician and his services were
probably sought for the new
boat. While she is hoping that
this surmise may not be correct,
the name, even to the initial be-
ing the same, gives her great
fear that the identified BODY is
that Of her cousin. She expects
shortly to hear from friends in
the old country in regard to it.

New York Cotton Futures
New Orleans Cotton Market

New Orleans, February 17.-Cotton futures opened steady at an advance of to 5 points. Cables were none too good. but there was no pressure on the market in the early trading, and shorts were inclined to even up over the week end It was rumored that the bull crowd would support the market on any further signs of weakness, and this stimulated taking of profits on the short side. The weather map was wet and the indications were for un- settled weather for the cotton belt over Sunday. This gave the market added steadiness. At the end of the first half hour of business prices were 3 to ' points over yesterdays close
 The market was quiet but had a very steady tone throughout the en- tire session IS shorts took profits on rather large scale, even when prices were advanced. Many cable messages from England spoke discouragingly of the labor situation and stated that a great coal strike seemed inevitable un- less the government intervened This news caused little fresh selling. Bulls made no effort 10 put prices up, but allowed the market to take care of itself. At the highest of the day prices were to 10 points over yes- terday's final quotations.

Weekly Cotton Review

New orleans February 1.-The net re- suit of the weeks trading in the cotton market was decline of 2l to 37 points on futures. The highe prices were made on Wednesday and the low prices on Fri day At the highest the trading months were to l4 points over last weeks close; at the lowest they were 31 to bo points under. The range of prices was 40 to oi points.
 Bears were aggressive this week. more so than for a long time past Coupied with this aggressiveness was more or less liquidation of the long interest. The long rise received it's first real set back ana at times the bulls were most decidedly on the defensive.
 Rumors of a split in the bull ranks, fears of a general coal strike In England' the attempts of trailing longs 10 take profits and extensive preparations for the new crop of cotton were the main inilu- ences that worked against the market. Heavy selling at times was said to have been due to the unloading of large mes of long cotton by operators who, It was rumored, were severing their connections with the bull clique. Sentiment was against the market and professionals mainly took scalping position on the short side of the market. At the end or the week there were few traders among the professionals who were talking higher prices.
 The movement continued very large, although it was claimed that the spot de- mand was not as good as it was. Ex- tremely heavy spinners' tal<ings alone saved the visible supply from making an- other increase. As it was the visible sup ply showed decrease of 25,735 bales, against a decrease this week last year of -122Ss9 bales, and a decrease this week two years ago of 51.165. Mill takings for the week amounted to 4l3,ooo bales, against 3s900O this week last year, and only 2o2,C00 this week two years ago, The bulls derived no help at all from the week ly statistics
 In the spot market prices lost lse, mid ding closing at 107sc, against l0lse last week and 14H,c this week last year. Sales on the spot amounted to IS40 bales, against 1,620 last week and 1251 this week last year. Sales to arrive amounted to 2714 bales, against 1925 last week and T710 this week last year.

LESS ACTIVITY ON THE COTTON MARKET
Fluctuations Continue Very Nervous and Irregular.
 Close Barely Steady

New York, February 1.-The cot
 ton market was less active today and
 there was less excitement. but fuc-
 tuations continued very nervous and
 Irregular. and after having shown
 net advance of about 8 to 10 points
 the market weakened In the late trad
 ing with the close barely steady, net
 point lower to points higher. The market opened steady at an
 advance of to points on over night covering orders and in sympathy with rather steadier cables. Fluctuations were irregular from the start, but the
 market during the middle of the morn ing developed a steady undertone ow- ing to the failure of southern spot
 advices to indicate any general weak ening among interior holders and ru-
 mors that leading bull interests were
 working to regain control of the old crop situation.
 Prices sold up to net advance of about to 10 points on this rally with May. touching 10.21c and July 10.29c, or some 19 to 20 points above ! the low level of yesterday. In the last
 half hour offerings became heavier again and the market closed within a point or two of the lowest. Very un-
 favorable reports concerning the prob | ability of national coal strike in Great Britain exerted a disturbing in- 1 fiuence on the market. Private cables stated that the Lancashire cotton milis had reserve supply of coal sufficient
 to meet fully months needs and the
 somewhat steadier ruling of the Liver pool market helped to offset the un-
 favorable, labor news during the early trading. Private advices from Memphis claimed a slack spot demand and freeI interior offerings, but advices were re-
 ceived from several eastern belt points | reporting that eastern spinners had been good buyers on the decline and | that holders were not meeting the I break In futures.
 Receipts at all the ports today, 37,- 1 37l bales against 44.692 last week and 29,751 last year Todays receipts at | New Orleans, 5106 bales against 407S I last year. At Houston, 10,S4s bales against 179S last year, and at Calves

SHARP BREAK IN !, PRICES FOR WHEAT
Big Shipments From Argen- tine and Heavy Receipts
 Are Responsible

Chicago, February 17.-A sharp break in prices for wheat occurred today as a result of big shipments being made from Argentina and because of heavy receipts at primary terminals in the United States. The close was weak, A4 cent down. Corn finished hac to ss@&c down: oats off ssdSsc. and hog products less costly by a shade to 20c.
 Latest trading in wheat showed a de- cline of 4ssc from the recent high point of the market Only one rally took place during the session and that one proved feeble. Buenos Ayres dispatches told of greatly increased exports and promised a further gain next week A cable to a Chicago house estimated the Argentine surplus at s0,000,000 bushels. Bearsh sen timent grew rapidly with the announce ment that primary receipts for the week in the United States had reached over 4.o00 900 bushels. a total nearly twice the figure of a year ago.
 In the last part of the day, when the bulls were beginning. to catch their breaths, another blow came in the form of statement that the government re- port had put the Minnesota crop 10000, ,oot bushels too low and shipments from the rural districts would be liberal for month yet. Between the opening and close May ranged from $1 .0oss to s1 001s with concluding sales s1 .0oss@1 .0o1s exact ly l cent down. compared with "A hours before. f
 Longs appeared to be selling out corn The buying was of scattered sort mainly covering on the whole by short. and little power to sustain the mar ket Shipping call was poor. May fiuc tuated from 671ao to 6sisdss4c, closing weak at the fist named level, declipe ol ssGssc net. Cash grades were depressed especially for the cheaper kinds. No 3 yellow was not quoted.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter

New York, February 17.-(SpeciaL)- Foreign advices were fair and some efforts to support the market were made at and after the opening but prices continue unsettled with rumors of newer outside bull influence al work.
 Reports of various trade authorities arc more encouraging and an active demand for spots Is noted in Alabama. Fertilizer sales are inactive but active crop preparations in south Texas threaten the maintenance of prices A slaekening of the export demand is expected, and the course of spots Is the best guide to the market now locally there is an absence of short interest
 The recent activity having eliminated both sides of the market and the ten dency is to pursue a cautious policy with the recent leading bulls suspected of leaning to the short side.

 Heaviness on Market

New York, February LA more cheer stock market today and there was no trace of the heaviness which character- ized yesterdays trading.
