Weekly Cotton Review

New York, May 29--The cotton mar
ket developed renewed weakness dur
ing the past week owing to the more
optimistic view of the drop stort, in
dications that the speculative short in
terest had been considerably reduced on
the recent advance of some 40 to As
points and reports that after shipping
$4,000 bales more from the local
stock, houses with Liverpool connec-
tions retendered part of the cotton
taken up on May contracts earlier in
the month. Business was said to have
been somewhat restricted by uncer-
tainties as to weather or other devel-
opments over the three-day adjourn
ment and covering caused slight rallies
but numerous predictions of lower
prices in the event of continued good
weather suggested a bearish averaging
of sentiment around tn ring Except for
scattering complaints of low night tenn
peratures grassy fields in some of the
sections of the central belt or of in
sufficient rain in parts of South Caro-
lima, the weeks weather news has been
regarded as generally favorable and
most crop reports have indicated a
start above the 10-year average.

PUBLIC BIDS FOR
RAILROAD STOCK
Union Pacific Gives Out
Plans for Disposal of Stock
of Southern Pacific

New York, May 29.-The important
development of the day in the local
stock market. which continued to show
degree of depression resulting from
the st. Louis and San Francisco re-
ceivership, was the publication by the
Union Pacific directors of alternative
plans for the disposal of the company's
sl26,G5o,000 Southern Pacific stock
One of these plans is novel in the
sense that it suggests public bids after
the manner of a city bond Offering.
Judging from the course of the Har-
rlman issues, which were irregular in
the early session. but became feverish
on publication of these plans, traders
anu the speculative publics generally
seemed unable to grasp the import or
significance of this latest move. Union
racine rallied toward the close, how
ever, while Southern Pacific made
net loss of a point,
Elsewhere In the active list Canadian
racine was again prominent for its
activity at receding prices. As usual,
.he selilng was attributed to Berlin,
but some of the liquidation was trace
able to Canadian sources.
Various stocks in the so-called Gould
ana Hawley groups were very weak, re-
>oAoihS tHe lowest prices IN some
years. The industrial list was notably
hrm by comparison
Railroad returns for April ranged
from good to unfavorable, Lackawanna
and Reading coming under the former
category, with New Haven in the latter.

A Many-Sided Judge

From the New York World.
The career of the late Addison Brown
was sufficiently notable when considered
solely with respect to his eninence as a
judge. He was a recognized authority
on admiralty law, and his written de-
cisions in upward of 20O0 cases brought
before him in the district court durins,
his 20 years on the bench constitute re-
markable memorial to his judicial erudi-
dition and industry.
But he was not only a great judge. He
was equally great as a scientist. 1t used
to be q matter of wonder that Oliver
Wendell Holmes could be as good pro-
fessor of medicine as he was equally
learned as a botanist and in only less
degree as an astronomer. HIS observa-
tions on the corona in the solar eclipse of
1878 were published by the Smithsonian
institution and he was one of the au-
thor's of Brtton and Browns illustrated
Flora of the United States and Canada. "
Judge Brown was, moreover, one of the
founders and directors of the New YORK
botanical garden.
Versatility of this order has grown SO
rare in profession that tends more and
more to specialism than the conspicuous
example in the case of busy federal
Judge is all the more deserving of notice
The saving grace of fad is understood.
But the study of science was something
more than fad to the manysided jurist
who mastered it as thoroughly as he did
the law.

New Orleans. May 29.-Cotton was de-
pressed today by favorable weather, good
crop accounts. bearish private bureau es-
Inmates on condition and bearish cables.
Only a moderate volume of short SELL
ing was in evidence, as many bears pre-
ferred to even up over the holidays rather
than to put out fresh lines. Bulls Of
fered next to no support.
On the opening the tone was steady
and prices were to points off on poor
cables and the favorable weather map.
No rain at all was shown in the belt.
with the exception of a sprinkle or two
in North Carolina and temperatures
showed signs of becoming warmer while
the forecast promised fair weather for
the entire cotton belt. Private cable
messages. spoke in a pessimistic way of
the European political situation and re-
ported renewed friction between masters
and men In the cotton mills of the Lam
cashire district. A private bureau report
on condition of SAG per cent caused mucn
bearish comment. Prices fell off another
point or two. standing at a net decline
of to 8 points at the middle of the MORN
ing.
Short covering set in and the market
reacted early in the afternoon showing
a decline of only . to points. Selling
again increased and the trade months
went to II points under the last quo
xations of yesterday. The close was
steady at a net loss of to 10 points.

RENEWED WEAKNESS
IN COTTON MARKET.
Close Steady at Net Loss of
3 to Ia POints-Trading
Active at Times

New York, May 29.-The cotton mar
ket showed renewed weakness under
continued old crop liquidation and fa-
vorable new crop accounts, with the
close steady at a net loss of to IA
points. Business was probably restrict
ed to some extent by the prospect of
three days adjournment but trading
was active at times and new crop po-
sitions sold back to practically the IL
cent level.
The market opened barely steady at a
decline of 10 points on May and of
to II points on later months under a
renewal of yesterdays selling move
ment, lower Liverpool cables, reports of
labor troubles in Lancashire and favor
able private condition reports. There
were some additional May notices cir
culating, also few June notices which
increased the nervousness of the mar
ket and old crop months sold IL to 19
points net lower shortly after the call.
Buying of late deliveries against old
crop sales and covering of shorts for
over the holidays rendered new crop
deliveries relatively steady and caused
tive positions reached the low point In
the late trading and closed at a rally
of only 2 or points. The private crop
reports were issued, one making the
condition sos and placing the increase
in acreage at as per cent, while the
others placed the condition at SAG and
indicated an increase OF 81 per cent in
acreage.
y canvass of the local trade resulted
in IS estimates as to the probable show
ing of government crop report on Mon
day which averaged S31 per cent COM
pairing with the Official June condition
of $50 per cent last year and 10-year
average OF 1913 per cent. The New York
market viii be closed from tonight until

ADVANCE DESPITE
HEAVY REALIZING
Sweltering Weather in Kan
sas Advances Wheat 1-Sc
to 1-2c Net

Chicago, May 29-Temperatures of 100
degrees in southwestern Kansas today
hoisted the price of wheat, despite heavy
realizing on account of the holiday to-
morrow and the market closed steady
at an advance of "a cent to " cent net.
In corn the outcome was the same as
last night to B cent lower and for oats
unchanged to 1sQA cent off. Provisions
finished irregularly strung out from a 10
cent decline to an advance of 25 cent
Not only was it hot and dry in Kan
sas but the forecast was for more heat
and drought tomorrow. There were also
reports of high winds and grasshopper
damage there and in western Oklahoma.
Wheat bears were further disturbed by
statements that the parched area seemed
to be extending considerably. Notice
was taken too, of reports that the In
diana crop was going backward.
Disposition to curtail open risk in view
of there being no session tomorrow was
increased by a sprinkle of rain at Kan
sas City. 1t developed, however, that
offerings were being absorbed by strong
interests. This fact helped rally the bulls
as also did the big exports for the week.
Seaboard clearances Of wheat and flour
today were $50, 900 bushels. Primary re-
eeipts of wheat were 469,000 bushels COM
pared with holiday year ago. In corn,
fine weather Offset the bullish influence
of wheat There was much rural selling
on early advance.
Damage reports hardened oats notwith-
standing liberal hedging sales.
Buying of a million pounds of July ribs,
presumably for stock yards account, made
most of the provision list firm. May pork
was the chief exception with an erratic
decline of 10 cents.

age as compared with last season. The
increase of 81 in acreage is about what

Nature Outwits Parcel Post Rule

Gently entrusted into the care OF Parcel
Post Percy a cocoanut weighing three
and three-quarters pounds to be delivered
in good condition to E. d. Greene, Brod-
erick, Yolo county. The cocoanut arrived
shp-shape
There is a rule of the parcel post that
every package must be securely wrapped,
but not sealed, and that the contents of
every package must be so packed that
examination will be easy. The cocoanut
violated those rules, for the nut was her
metically sealed by nature and the only
way the postal officials could have ex-
amined the insides of the nut would have
been to break it open with an axe
The cocoanut was not wrapped Greene's
address was printed on the smooth shell
and 2o-cent parcel post stamp was stuck
onto the shell.
