Easier Tone in Cotton Market,

NEW YORK. May a3.--An easier
feeling developed in the cotton mar
ket this morning and first prices were
four to ten points lower. The selling
movement had for MS basis fair
weather over the Southwest and the
weakness of Liverpool, which closed
four to six points net lower. After the
opening here the market steadied up a
few points. because some of the local
map readers did not agree with the
forecast of fair weather
over the entire belt Prices continued
firm throughout the session and closed
four 10 ninc points higher.

Oldest Welshman.

The Oldest Welshman In the world
is Mr.. Thomas Morris, who lives at
Westernyllle, Neb. Although he Is
now an American citizen, he was born
subject of George III, at the little
village of Berriew, Montgomeryshire
on January 15, 1894. He is therefore
one hundred and twenty years old.
His father was an agricultural la
borer and died when the boy was three
years old. Morris was apprenticed to
a cobbler and followed his trade in
this country until 1871, when, at the
age of seventy-nine. he emigrated to
America.
The old man is very proud OF the
fact that he has lived In three GEN.
turtles. He remembers the union Of
Great Britain and Ireland, the assassi-
nation Of President Lincoln and the
laying of the first Atlantic cable.
Morris Can still walk with the aid
Of stick and see with the aid Of
spectacles, which he first purchased
after passing his hundredth birthday.
His hearing is good, and he enjoys a
cup of tea or coffee with each neal
