Weekly Cotton Review

New York, May 15.-The cotton mar ket has advanced during the past week owing to the continued firmness of old crop supplies, and renewed anxiety re- garding the new crop start as a result of rains in the western belt and dry, cool weather east of the river.
 General business has not been &C., tive but there has been good demand for near months from foreign or local shorts, while there has been some trade and investment buying of later deliver ies, based on expectations that con- tinued large requirements will make the market very sensitive to unfavora- ble crop reports during the growing season. Exports of American cotton to Great Britain have been relatively this season. and private advices attributed the near month strength in Liverpool to a comparatively small stock of ten derable cotton at that point
 Strong English trade interests are now supposed to be holding May-June contracts, in order to secure control of the available spot supply, and the Liverpool advance has been accom- panied by active straddle buying or covering at the widened difference. It is reported that some of the cotton taken up locally on the first May notices for southern interests has been reten- dered and a few small shipments have arrived here from the south, chiefly from Galveston, but May increased its premium over July to about 53 points during today's trading. selling at the predicted 13-cent level or about $75D a bale above the low record of last March,
 The big domestic mill consumption during April, as reported by the cen- sus bureau, contributed to the firmness of old crop months. which were also influenced toward the close of the week by reports of an improved spot demand fl Ih Manchester.

Mr. Underwood's Hopeful Statement

Chairman Underwood of the house ways and means committee Saturday stated that deficit at the end of the fiscal year only dream born of the wishes of the enemies of the administration According to the information and estimates he had received from the treasury department, there would be surplus of s3O,0OO0OO, not counting in the est mate the Panama canal payments, according to the Associated Press dispatch, quoting MT Underwood, of $35O0OOO0 The payments will really be s37500OOO, so taking the statement of the chairman, there be actual deficit of s75OOOOO
 The customs receipts MT. Underwood stated, would exceed expectations by $2O,Ooo.OOo, by which amount receipts from the income tax would fall below estimates. These figures, readers of The Republican will observe, are not new. They were given out by the treasury department month ago and have not been brought up to date, within two days of the end of the fiscal year.
 But why have the customs receipts exceeded the estimates by much? In the first place. for three months of the the duties were collected under the old and higher tariff rates. There included in addition receipts of 60 0000000 duties under the old law, which under the present law will be wiped years hence. The rest of the unex pected increase has been made up of duties on heav- fer imports manufactured goods and partly factured materials at the of labor in this try whose market has been invaded under the couragement of the tariff law.
 Meanwhile exports of manufactures have fallen off. There is nothing satisfactory either in Mr. Underwood's financial statement in known facts, the American manufacturer workingman Whether not there is deficit in the national treasury of the latter whether or not there is a market for the products of his labor is matter of grave

The Wiegins Verdict

The acquitta1 of pr. Wiggins Saturday night was the bow of the jury to the 'unwritten law In spite of rules of evidence, impossible to keep mssible under the rules, and it is impossible in a tral where a mans life liberty at stake to prevent the jury from considering such facts The jury in this case did what any average twelve citi- zens would have done, and what a large ma jorty of all citizens would have done if the matter had been left to a vote The verdict was therefore a popular one, such would have been rendered in almost any community in almost any age thugh it may not have been in accordance with the law and the evidence"
 Without assuming that it was so in this case justice While the plea of Wiggins self defense he could not have been acquitted on that plea but he must have been acquitted if all, of the wrongs he had suffered at the hands of his victim on trial If these wrongs had not been committed or II they had been exaggerated the acquittal slayer would not have been warranted

 The real name of this unfortunate gentleman was Ferdinand Maxmilian Joseph. He the of the Emperor of Austria and the younger brother of the present Emperor. He had been carefully trained in the reignng business but there seemed to be no opening for him in his country, and when the French took advantage of the civil grab off Mexico he offered the throne. Not being much acquainted with Mexico, he accepted the position.
 Maximan landed in Mexico in May 1864 with full outfit of crowns sceptres, royal seals chamber ains, gents of the bed chamber, ermine regalia and other imperial fittings. He received with great enthusiasm by those who hoped to get job under the overnment, and immediately began to reign.

Psychology in Mexico

General Villa taking a leaf from the notebook of President Wilson declares that there is nothing of the reported trouble between him and President Car ranza, notwithstanding all the exterior signs of trouble. The whole affair purely psychological What Carranza may be thinking of the reality of the episode is not stated but Roberto Pesquera, his confidential agent chief butter-in and free speaker and writer reminds General Villa that while that kind talk may solace the people of the free and enlightened United States, it doesn't go in Mexico, but rely upon the evidence of their own senses rather than upon the of those who tell them that everything is state of mind
 Senor Pesquera advises the general for the sake there a break, visible proof of which was fur nshed by the arrest of the Carranza officials at Juarez their removal and imprisonment and the replacement them by Villa adherents. There is treasury from which many thousands of pesos were transferred Villas chest It is that visible hole that is the more painful Senor Pesqueira

OUR DRAMA OF THE FUTURE

They will demand and get legitimate drama at s1.5O perhaps s1. Can question that they will demand thrills? Last and most important of all they will demand quick tOn
 What kind of drama then will move the stage years from now? Not drama, 1 believe of less merit than the drama of today, but it will be different. The keynote in coming drama will be Move There will be little dalogue-and that will hit some of us playwrghts hard For do love dialogue and suffer when cut is made if undergoing operation.

 GIorified Moving Picture
 With wealth of scenery music and action what shall have? A play that is a perfected and glorified moving picture.
 But of the several factors that will go make up the successful drama of the movie trained aud ence the most important will be action. The nov ing picture creates impatient theatergoers I do say that impatience is a bad quality in theater goer I say only that people who writing plays take of it. Already the book pub fishers taking note of it. As example of this let quote for you the advertisement of book fresh from the presses-a book by Robert w. Chambers-perhaps the most widely read author in America. if not in the world
 Curiously enough MT. Chambers has chosen for his title the very words that have found sary to in connection with the drama of the future He calls his book Quick Action. And the advertisement reads:
 Chambers invented get-there quick love stories. He holds the speed record for rapid fire Palptating pulsing. throboing rapid fire love that's what you will find in this hurry up- Cupid love story, Quick Action.' And mark this line of the ad- Tt a book that panders to impatient readers
