YARN RECALLS OLD
OCEAN TRAGEDY
Tale Told Aboard Mauretania Puts
Sole Survivors of Wrecked Ship
in Touch Again
m the Los Angeles Times.

From the Los Angeles Times.
Wilson Miner is telling a story around
town which sounds like wild romance,
but which he declares is gospel truth.
This is the story:
On the last eastward voyage of the
Mauretania, Afizner struck up an ac-
quaintance with an aged man who had
not crossed the Atlantic for many years.
The conversation turned to sea stories
and the veteran described the awful ex-
periences he had undergone as a passen-
ger ON board the steamer Independence.
which, on her way to Australia, was
wrecked off the coast of Lower Cali
fornia In 1858. There We're 142 passengers
aboard, only two being saved.
And l am one of them" added the old
man.
who was the other passenger?' asked
Miner
The other survivor was named Ella
Watson" replied the old man.
why" cried Miner, in amazement.
my mother was an Ella Watson"
The veteran looked at Miner with
astonishment, which increased as Mig
ner related what he knew Of the story
of the wreck, how the vessel caught fire
and the efforts of the captain to beach
her, as often told him by his mother,
and ending by saying:
''The name of the old survivor was
Thomas McTarr and my mother has
often wondered what became of him.
Your mother remembers rightly" said
the stranger. Il am Thomas McTarr,
and j, too have often wondered what
had become of Ella Watson. j remember
how kindly her people treated me when
stayed in San Francisco. where we were
brought by a whaling ship which picked
us up after two days"
Miner gave McTarr his mothers ad-
dress and the old man declared that his
first business on getting back to the
United States would be to take trip to
visit Mrs. Mizner In San Francisco Mr..
McTarr is successful business man OF
Philadelphia, where he accumulated q
fortune.

Bullish Foreign Situation

Chicago. April 5.-Strength was impart-
ed to wheat today by bullish foreign

surplus. The day ended with a net gain
of a shade to 4 cent. Corn closed a
shade to 1s@Ac net lower. Oats at $50

Continued strength at Liverpool was
reflected here by net advance of u

came when publicity was given to crop
experts summary showing that only $4,000
bushels surplus would be left at the end
of the crop year, allowing exports from
now until then at only 3o,Oo0,oO0 bushels.
Prices on this news went to about the
highest OF the week. The upturn was
helped by slow spring shipments from
Russia, frmness of Argentine offers and
advanced prices at Buenos Ayres.
Primary receipts of wheat were 664,0oo
bushels, against $4,000 year ago. Sea-
board clearances of wheat and flour
equaled $4,000 bushels.
Liberal offerings and a somewhat re-
stricted demand for corn, especially from
the east caused an easy tone most of
the session. An improved inquiry caused

Trading Chiefly of Evening

Steady

New Orleans, April st was a typical
week end session in the cotton market
today Trading was chiefly OF an even
ing up character. During good part
of the morning the demand from shorts
who wanted to cover over Sunday was
fairly good and prices stood slightly above
the level of Yesterdays close When this
inquiry ceased the market fell off.
The opening was quiet and steady,
unchanged to points down, compared
with the last prices of yesterday. Cables

while the quotation of pence for mid

bic news was balanced by the good wealth
er prevailing over the belt. While the
weather map indicated that a few light
rains had fallen In the belt over night.
the entire cotton region was clear and
the forecast predicted fair and warmer
weather for Sunday. Bears would have
sold on this but for the fear that un-
favorable developments in the river sit
uation might arise over Sunday. At the
highest of the morning prices were to

Weekly Cotton Review

New Orleans, April 1.-THE price OF
cotton did not move much this week, the
extreme range on the old crop months
being q to SO points while on the new
crops it was only 10 points. A feature
of the week was the widening of differ
ences between the old and the new crop
months to nearly cent. Not so long
ago they were very close together.
The net results of the weeks trading
were an advance of s to 9 points on
the old crops and decline of 2 to 5
points on the new. The high prices were
made on Wednesday and the low prices
on Monday. At the highest the trading
months were 2 to o points over last
weeks close; at the lowest they were 10
to II points under.
The bulls side was more aggressive
than it had been recently and managed
to put prices up in the face of favor
able accounts from the cotton region
in regard to the progress of plowing
and planting. Some little rain fell but.
except in the central belt, where 1t af-
fected the river situation. the moisture
was regarded as more beneficial than
otherwise. Favorable crop news was one
of the main factors in holding the new
crop months down.
The unfavorable accounts from the
river the continued rise of the water
prospects OF stage even higher than
the disastrous high water OF year ago
and threatened weak spots in the levees
prevented anything like general short
selling.
In the spot department prices gained
1-16c. middling closing at 12 9-16c. against
12l5c last week and II 13-16c this week
last year. Sales on the spot amounted
to 2645 bales. against 3524 last week and
212O this week last year. Sales to ar
rive amounted to 1864 bales, against 1867
last week and 2910 this week last year.

HEAVY REALIZING
INSTOCK MARKET
Losses in Many Stocks
Range From | to 2
Points

New York, April 5.-Tn view of the
extent of the rise in stocks which had
proceeded without serious Interrupt
tion for fortnight, it was regarded
as a natural development that there
should be heavy realizing today The
demand fell Off largely with the result
that the market was not able to alb
sorb offerings of long stock with the
facility which characerized yesterdays
operations and there were substantial
recessions through the list with losses
of many stocks ranging from 1 to .
points.
The impulse to take profits was
strengthened by the desire to close out
contracts before the convening of Con-
gress and the reading of the Presidents
message. While Wall street views the
coming revision of the tariff with COM
paratively freedom from fear, lack Of
definite knowledge as to the probable
course of affairs at Washington within
the next few days increases the hazard
of q position on the long side OF the
market.
Bear traders took advantage of the
situation to put out new lines of stock
particularly in some of the specialties.
Rumely fell points to 81, a new
low record. Chesapeake and Ohio was
again under pressure and dropped to
67A, the low point since 1910. South
ern Pacific developed exceptional
strength.
The bank statement was unexpected
ly poor. Instead of the predicted cash
gain of $2,000,000 or more, there was
loss in the actual figures of S5,540s-
coo. The excess reserves fell off by
about the same amount.
Bonds were easy in sympathy with
stocks. Total sales, par value, ST.
10000.
United States bonds declined on call
on the week, changes ranging from
Is to ss.
