Some ancient mariners We're sitting

"Ah!" said one old salt. i've seen
some pretty thick fogs in my time.
Why, off the coast of Newfoundland the
fog was sometimes so thick that we
used to sit on the deck rail and lean
against it! We were sitting one night
as usual, with our backs to the fog
when suddenly the fog lifted, and we
all went flop into the sea. A bit thick,
wasn't it?"-San Francisco Chronicle.

COTTON MARKETS.
NEW YORK.

NEW YORK, May 1.-The cotton mar
ket opened easy at a decline of 11a13
points, owing to lower cables than ex-
pected and the failure Of the weather
map to show any traces Of the showers
predicted yesterday. Business was eX-
tremely active at the start, and the mar
ket for a time was excited, with the ac-
tive months selling about 20 to % points
net lower before the end of the first half
hour under heavy liquidation and bear
pressure. The eastern belt forecast for
generally fair weather and the probable
tty OF nothing worse than unsettled con-
ditiOns in the western belt no doubt add
ed 10 the aggressiveness of the offerings,
but a good demand was encountered on
the break. and prices during the middle OF
the day were or ) points up from the
lowest. with trading less active.
Reports that the Mississippi river was
again rising. and a private crop report in
dicating reduction of over s per cent
in the acreage failed to attract any at
tention, and the market became still
weaker early in the second hour with
the active months selling about - to %
points net lower, under continued lquida-
ton. Covering checked the decline and
caused rallies OF 5 or points toward
midday. while trading, which had been
very active during the earlier session, be-
came comparatively quiet with f1uctua-
lions showing continued nervousness.

Bear Pressure Suggested.

The early weakness in United States
Steel and Union Pacific suggested bear
pressure rather than liquidation, this be-
ing further attested by the celebrity with
which Union Pacific recovered the great
er part of its loss. United States Steel,
however, regained little more than half
of it's decline, and was offered in liberal
quantities at every show of returning
strength. Lehigh Valley and Reading
made two point advances. but soon yield
ed half of their advantage.
American Smelling, American Tobacco.
International Harvester and several of
the minor metal and Industrial shares
were up from one to two points. Trading

INDUSTRIAL SHARES ADVANCE
Coal Stock Singled Out for Attack
and Reading and Lehigh Valley
Yield Early Gains.

NEW YORK, MAY 1.-Heavy selling of
United States Steel common, based on the
unfavorable quarterly report. was the
feature at the opening of today's stock
market. Initial dealings comprised a
block of 5000 shares at 7Ois to Io1s. fol-
lowed by another block of 1900 at IOa4
as against 72is at yesterdays close.
There was also acute weakness in
Union Pacific, with fractional declines in
other standard issues. These were offset
in a measure by the strength of the
anthracite coal stocks. both Reading and
Iehigh Valley opening with advances
which soon extended TO a point or more.
American Smelling was another strong
stock, but the movement as whole was
irregular.

weather. Sellers were scarce. July open
ed unchanged to 1saAc higher at 7SAa

contributed to the general weakness. FIRST
transactions ranged all the way from 2k
to 4o1z lower. with September: options at
