New York, April 5.-The cotton

as If scattering accounts had already |
been pretty well evened up for over
he weekend. The rains reported
yesterday in the Mississippi Valley
proved to have been only moderate
and the outlook was for clear wealth
n over Sunday. This in connection
with rather mixed reports from the
dry good trade, which is feeling the
influence Of property losses in the
middle West to some extent, seemed
ia favor Of recent sellers, but fresh
offerings for short account were re-
Stricted by private predictions of un-
settled weather in the belt early next
week, and continued nervousness as
to the river situation. According to
reports received from Memphis there
was a small break in the levee in the

ports reached here via Liverpool of
a break In the levee at Hickman, ny.
Breaks north Of the belt, however, are
generally considered a favorable fea-
ture in the cotton trade as likely to
reduce the strain somewhat lower
down the river. and there was, per-
haps rather less apprehension of dam
aging floods, although New Orleans
reported that farmers protected by

state mp to date than to the first OF

HEAVY REALIZING

by the Associated Press.)

New York. April 5.-In view Of the |
extent of the rise in stocks which had
proceeded without serious interrupt
ton for a fortnight, il was regarded
as a natural development that there
should be heavy realizing today. The
demand fell off largely with the re-
suit that the market was not able to
absorb offerings Of long stocks with

terdays operations and there were
substantial recessions through the

OAK HILL CEMETERY
TO HAVE NEW ENTRANCE

Oak Hill cemetery, according to a
project that has been working for two
years, is to be shut off from South
Holman street as the result of a plan
adopted by the Hammond Suburban
Realty Company, the city of Hammond
and the Oak Hill Cemetery Company.
The result is to be accomplished by
means of a foliage screen, a device en-
ployed in Hammond for the first time,
which is to make Holman street look
loke a beautiful parkway.
The cost of this Improvement, which
is purely beautifica ton project. will
be in the neighborhood of $4,000. All
of the territory from Conkey avenue
south to the city limits will be bene-
fitted.
The Hammond city officials are fully
acquainted with the plans and are in
sympathy with the project.

tremely lax one.
In the Balzer case a crossing flag
man named Ward stated at the in
quest that he had gone to work on the
morning of the accident without being
hired by anybody in particular and
, without a word of instructions as to
his duties. He said that the aagman
at that crossing told him he wanted to
quit and handed his flag over to him
and that he went on duty without any
further authority. The man hired the
watchmen for this crossing is Mr..
Smith, the section foreman for the
Monon. and the change of men was ap
parently made without his knowledge
or consent Owing to the small pay
that is allowed for this work it is
extremely hard for him to get COM
petent and able-bodied men. The view
on this crossing is clear and while there
| is no question but what Balzer was
unduly careless, the inquest shows that
| the system under the crossings
| protected does not give the public the
protection to which it is entitled.
! Branneburg, the other Waterman at
| this crossing, testified at the Balzer
| inquest that he was on the south side
of the track and that a the tirSe he
was watching the west side of the
street He admitted that he did not

TRANS in danger the east side of
| the street. which plainly is an admis-
sion OF neglect If not incompetency.

that in his opinion Hammond must

small part of the blame he added lies
with a careless and peril hardened
