MANY SONORA CATTLE SOLD.
Shipments from the State of Sonora
 Being Made Daily.

Acting on behalf ofprominent
 Montana cattleman, Charles E..
 Walker, of the Consolidated
 National bank, closed yesterday
 morning what is probable one of
 the largest cattle deals in the
 history of Tucson when he pur- chased 10,COO head of Sonora cattle which will be brought across the line shortly. The price paid was approximately $25O,OO0, says the Tucson Star.
 A half of the cattle will be shipped immediately and the other half will be shipped later. The name of the seller was not made public and Mr. Walker did not know any of the conditions under which the cattle were to be brought across the line so far as the export tax
 While the exact amount of export tax paid by exporters ap- pears to be thus far an amount known only to the custom house officers of the constitutiOnalist goverenment and the exporters themselves shipments of cattle, which suddenly stopped when the duty, of $1O was imposed, have begun again. Recent ship ments of cattle over the line at Nogales are reported as follows:
 Saturday at Nogales Proto Brothers crossed over the line 1900 head of Cocospera ranch cattle, all splendid animals in fine condition, which were sold to G. M. McLemore of Klamath Falls. Oregon, and were loaded in cars, the train leaving for the north late in the afternoon.
 Thursday Cox & Shatter crossed 500 head which were to Brawley, California, to be fed there for the market.
 Last week J. c Gatti of Cliff ton imported and shipped to J. B. Aver of Sacramento Californ- ia 58O head.
 Tuesday of Ell Paso, bought from the Alamo Cattle Company 1 ,OOO head of the Camou cows, which are for delivery in the near future.
 Giroux & Go. have contracted for future delivery to Fuller & Co.,, of Los Angeles 6,OOO head, which are to becrossed over and delivered with in the next if teen days.
 Last week it was announced that the Alamo Cattle company had obtained a concession by which they would be allowed to export cattle at reduced export rate. It was stated that they had obtained the concession by a payment of $50, ,OOO, $50, ,OOO o which had already been paid.
 From informat obtained from a cattleman who was in the city yesterday from Sonora, it is stated on good authority that the duty has been decreas- ed in practically all of the ex- portations, sometimes to as much as half the duty. It is also stated that not only are the Alamo company getting the bendfit of the reduction but that there are others. However the reduction is said not to be the same in all cases, and it is said that only certain persons thus far have obtained it.
 Whether these reported re- 1uctionS are preliminary to the taking off of the entire duty re- mains to be seen It seems pro- oable however, that the recent movement of cattle | must be due to a scret reduction of duty less than the ten per cent reduction which was at irst suggested by General Car 'anza. It is also said that the | removal of the duty is lue to the fact that General | Carranza has left Sonora, and | hat the reduction is not opposed | low by him.

MAY INCREASES ITS PREMIUM OVER JULY
Notices Estimated at 60,0OO to 10000 Bales-Old Crop
 Prices Ease Off

New York, April 2s.-The interest of the circulation and reception of the first May notices, which were estimated at 6o,0oo to 7o,o0o bales. Old crop prices eased off under liquidation as these notices passed through the street. but May increased it's premium from about points over July to IT points during the late trading, and 1t was ranored that part of the mo- tices had been stopped for the account of southern spinners and that houses with Liverpool connections also had prepared 10 take up some cotton.
 Some of the May buyers were sellers of July, while there was also selling of the latter position against purchases of new crop months, and the active summer delivery le dto the decline with the price at one time showing a net loss of Is points. The close was steady at an ad- vance of II points on April and points on May, while July was 1S points net lower and new crop positions showed net losses of from 2 to 8 points.
 The market opened sNeady at unchanged prices to an advance of points and sold about to points net higher dur ing the early trading, in sympathy with steady cables and on the appearance of May buying orders in the hands of leading spot house brokers.
 The market soon eased off. however, under realizing or liquidation by scat tered longs and fluctuations were more or less irregular during the balance of the day. New crop positions were rela- lively quiet and steady on reports of con unued rain in the southwest and predic- tions of lower temperatures.
 The rumors circulating during the day included estimates that southern spin ners had taken up through local spot houses notices for about 5000 bales, com pairing with the total certificated stock here of a little over S5,000 bales.

bEAR|SH TURN IN
 THE WHEAT MARKET
Abundant Moisture in All Quarters-COrn and Oats
 Also Suffer Decline

Chicago, April es.-Abundant moisture in all quarters gave the wheat market to- day a bearish turn. Closing prices. al though steady, were ladls@ssc under last nights. Corn suffered a net decline of ssq%a1isc, and oats a setback of isai44 l4c. In provisions the outcome varied from 5c loss to rise of 2isQSe.
 Rains that fell over the entire winter and spring wheat belts were regarded as great boon to crops, notwithstanding that seeding in some parts of the north west was delayed by the storm, the good done even in such sections more than counterbalanced the harm. In fact. the field condition in every direction were reported so favorable that bullish news attracted little attention. For example, a big decrease in the worlds available supply passed almost unnoticed
 Many big houses were active in selling wheat on the decline today and in pre- venting any important rally. One of the reasons for this course was the absence of hope for material improvement in European demand during the next two months. 1t was a current opinion that an immense surplus in Russia was just beginning to press on the transatlantic market and probably would fill all re- quirements until the arrival of the new crop in the United States.
 Desire to avoid taking deliveries Oh May contracts had much to do with weak ening the corn market as a whole. Fine weather in Argentina added to the bur den on prices. Moreover country of ferings were somewhat enlarged, and cash sales only moderate.
 In the oats crowd, sympathy with the depression in other grain was manifest, but over-generous selling was quickly checked by elevator concerns.
 Liquidatng sales by miscellaneous holders carried down provisions Packers, however, were alert buyers on the break, and succeeded in causing a nearly com plete rally.

Mind and Health


 A scientist writes: "A woman fancied she had swallowed a frog and was rap idly sinking. The efforts of physicians failed to afford her relief. It occurred to some one that she might be deluded into health. A tiny frog was caught and put into a tube with which they were attempting to wash out her stomach. When the frog was thrown out of the tube the girl expressed re- lief, and said she hoped they were sat- isfied her complaints had real foun- dation. In short time she was restored to health. This is only one of the fn- stances in which the mind has affected the physical condition.
 '.No one doubts that persons have been frightened to death and ridicule in statements of this kind should end The influence of the mind Is a subject which calls for investigation and study. There Is no question that mental agi- tation aggravates, if it does not cause, disease. Many a child droops and dies because if feels it Is unappreciated and neglected. Many who survive drag out a miserable existence, instead of being full of hope and joy and energy. prom ise and pleasure and making themselves useful in the world"

Prices in all lines are unchanged
 In the produce market the demand Is good and there Is an excellent supply of early vegetables. Snap beans were cueaned up Tuesday morning but a ear arrived in the afternoon. and all orders were filled.

STOCKS ADVANCE FROM THE START
All Classes of Stocks Join in Rise-Change in Mexi-
 can Situation Cause

New York, April 2s.-From opening to close today, the stock market moved up- ward. Trading was quiet and the ad- vance was slow, but the showing oz strength was none the less pronounced and by the end of the day the upturn ran from 1 to points. All classes of stocks joined in the rise.
 Uncertainty regarding the Mexican situ- ation was too great for opera tions ca a large scale on either side of the mar ket. Not knowing at what time the out look might be completely changed, specu- lators proceeded cautiously and held down their commitments Nevertheless the increasing hope that war might be averted caused distinctly better feeling, and was probably the chief cause of the rise in stocks today. There were other favorably influences of lesser importance. Good conditions for the growing crops, were reported in the government weather review. Metal shares were benefited by revival demand for copper. the price of which was raised. Progress on the freight rates case indicated speedy de- cisoin. London assisted the upturn by buying stocks here.
 Short covering was the main spring of the movement The market was so thoroughly sold out on the recent decline that shorts found it difficult to obtain stocks for covering. There was also an increase in outside buylng. It was re- ported that several large traders who had been consistently bearish had cov- cred and taken a position on the long oiGe.
 Missouri Pacific was under heavy pres sure for time and fell off points to 16ia, the lowest figure in many years. Its weakness. for which no specific req son was advanced was without influence elsewhere. A rise to new high levels for the year in foreign exchange was coinci- cent with firmer private discounts abroad. The impression prevailed that, owing to unsatisfactory financial political condi- tion abroad, the first definite indications of peaceful settlement of the Mexican controversy would be followed by ex- portation of gold. Reports that a ship ment of $2.000,000 to Paris had been ar ranged lacked verifeation. Bonds were firm. Total sales, par value $1, ,630,000. United States 2's registered decline 1a on call.

An EgOtist

From the Chicago Record Herald.
 George w. Perkins said at a dinner in New York.
 Some people have very selfish way of looking at big business. Without knowing it. they are as bad as Mime. du Deffand.
 ''The celebrated Mime. du Deffand was an invalid, and received her friends in her room, where they gathered round her, as she lay in her great bed.
 "One day it was very cold, and her guests, as they arrived, shivered and drew their furs about them.
 "Its freezing said a guest.
 Thank you for telling me-, said the invalid gratefully.
 ''She rang, and, on the appearance of the valet-de-pied, she said:
 Francois, bring me my down quilt.
 After giving this order. she resumed her interrupted conversation about lit erature."

LIQUIDATION SENDS COTTONDOWN Prices We'll Maintained At Opening-Adverse Report
 Bring About Decline

New Orleans. April 2S.-Prices were well maintained at the opening of the cotton market here today, but adverse reports later brought a decline and the close was at loss of to points on the near months. and to points on the new crop contracts.
 Weather conditions in the western part of the belt and the anticipated stoppage of May notices in New York by exporters were clements of early strength that in- fluenced slight initial advance in prices for the active months. But with the quick change in the attitude of New York firms. indicated by the stoppage of their own notices. at a moderately lower level, an early weakness developed and free liquidation by the long interests sent prices of sharply to loss of to F points durinf the forenoon. In the aft ernoon the market was quiet, with prices fluctuating over q narrow range and TO decided tendency in either direction in evidence.

Comments Rats as Food

From the London Chronicle.
 Now that we have three Chinese restaurants in the West End, London CTS ought to be able to enjoy the pleasure of feeding off rats, which form a favorite dish in China. Split open, dried, pressed and powdered with a finely ground white bark. they look somewhat like haddocks as they hang in long strings over butchers stalls.
 Dr. Arthur Stradling, who shared Frank Buckland's cosmopolitan tastes in fodd, once declared that "rats would be not only wholesome, but very nice if properly prepared Admiral Beau fort and other arctic explorers speak highly of rats as a wholesome addi- tion to their supply of food"

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter

New York, April 2S.-fspecial. IA large portion of the stock of cotton was ten- dered today for delnvery on May |. Part of these tenders were taken by the spinners, while the balance was taken back by purchases made in the market during the day.
 Sales of July were apparently made against these purchases. Many owners of May sold out. and did not repurchase as they were impressed by the depres- sion in trade. This caused the decline of the day at the close, several foreign houses had buying orders on May which brought about quick rally on that po- sition.
 The remainder of the market has been heavy all daX
