Sharp Changes in Cotton.

The week in cotton has been marked by
heavy trading and sharp fluctuations over
wide range On Monday the issuance
OF May notices for nearly 5000 bales was
the occasion OF bear raid. which sent
prices down 10 the lowest reached since
last October. shaking out about the last
OF the old scattered long interest. The
market rallied on new buying. Influenced
by the way In which the May notices
were taken up. and for the next two days
there was only little irregularity.
on Thursday "A bull drive forced shorts
to cover. and May went up 81 points
above Mondays low. with other months
trailing along. This advance was too
heavy TO 10 held. however. and a bear
drive on Friday Topped of 20 points from
the May high. with the Saturday market
showing "A further slight decline on IA

As prices are AT present New YORK Is

cotton as well as contracts, although late
advices on Saturday said that Memphis

CROP MARKET REVIEW
Grains Unsettled and Lower
Cotton Irregular
Coffee Down.

Grain markets especially wheat, were
nervous and unsettled in the early part
Of the week just closed, and In the late
dealings showed sagging tendency

Of domestic conditions and estimates by
experts indicating new record of pro-
duction finally overcame the disturbing
features and toward the close the mar
ket weakened. with the May option
touching 81 on Saturday.
Export trade has been of fair volume,
but a sackening in the demand caused
no excitement. as large quantities have
already been bought for shipment, ana
buying was hindered somewhat by new
terms of payment, which call for sight

The Elimination Of Huerta.

In one respect the Presidents statement
OF the Mexican situation, in the course OF
his message to Congress, is lacking in de-
tall and inasmuch as it is a state paper,
passing upon the records as an ofhclal
review of our foreign relations, the omis-
sion is unfortunate. The President sets
forth that he instructed Mr.. Lind to de-

chief executive in stipulating that GER

dacy for the Office OF Mexican president
We of today, in close touch with all the
precedent conditions affecting the present
Mexican complication. are aware OF the
reasons which actuated this unusual suppl

and Vice President Suarez and their al

in a measure the city campaign. In the
city there Is a sort Of chaos. with party
lines largely obliterated, and worse
things coming.
Tammany. always Vulnerable In It's
leadership. Is very vulnerable now. Mr..
Murphy makes a good target; and many
have found the range. The temptation,
therefore, Of both fusionists and Gaynor-
ties will be great to level at him until
election day.
But two may play at that game, and
Tammany is an adept at 1t. Its cart-tail
orators are skilled only in vituperation.
OF argument they have little; Of personal
abuse much. What service they perform
during a campaign is in appealing to
voters on personal scores.
Can Mr.. Mccall bride such tongues?
Can he impose his views about the pro-
prieties and necessities Of the case on
men below his own grade, but to whom
he Is looking for assistance?
The issues certainly are important in
both city and state. Never were condi-
tons worse In either. When 1t Ia con-
sidered what Is charged at Albany by the
democratic factions each against the
other, and what exists In New York city
as the result Of gang rule and graft
rule. one hesitates In speculation about
the future. How long will II take. and
by the application Of what means, to
cleanse stables SO foul?
Personally, Mr.. Mccall, Mr.. Gaynor
and Mr.. Mitchell are above reproach. Mr.
Mccall and Mr.. Gaynor have served on
the bench. and both proved acceptable
there. Mr.. Mitchell is a young man Of
limited experience In public affairs, but
has shown courage In Office, and his
friends believe that II he wins this race
he will become q political figure Of ma
