COTTON IS MORE OR
 LESS IRREGULAR
Close Barely Steady and Un' changed to II Points Low
 er-May Easy

New York. April s4.-The cotton mar ket was more or less irregular and un- settled during the days trading. with the close barely steady, net unchanged to Il points lower. May was relatively easy under scattering liquidation and showed the maximum loss, although maintaining a premium of about 9 points over July at the close.
 The market opened steady at un- changed prices to an advance of 2 points in sympathy with steady cables and showed considerable strength dur ing the early trading irmness in New Orleans was a fact on the advance while bullish sentiment was also en- eouraged by prospects for favorable week end statistics. Active months sold about to points net higher on the advance. but the relatively easy rul- ing of May checked fresh buying to some extent and the demand became less active after the close of Liverpool.
 As the market hesitated the ten deney to realize profits on long cotton for over the weekend was more in evidence and some selling may also have been inspired by bearish crop ad- vices from travelling expert in the southwest and rather more favorable detailed weather reports than antici- pated in view of recent official fore casts. The weekend figures indicated fully as sharp a falling off in the visi- ble supply of American as expected. but failed to more than temporarily check the decline, and closed prices were the lowest of the day.
 The talk around the ring reflected continued nervousness with reference to the near month situation. Liverpool was credited with trading both ways here today and it was reported that some of the recent heavy buyers of May and July were sellers on the aft ernoon decline.

FA|RLY GENERAL
 RAINS IN WHEATB BELT
Prices Turn Downward as Result-ClOse Is to 1-4c
 Net Decline

Chicago, April e4.-Wheat prices turned downward today on account of the fairly general rains supplementing the much needed moisture received during the pre- vious 24 hours. Selling, however, was not at all aggressive and the market closed steady at isGi4c decline Other leading staples, too. all showed a setback corn &@Iac to ssms4c. oats a shade to .c. and provisions 5620c.
 It was not overlooked by wheat specu- lators that the showers were of benefit not only to the growing winter crop in Kansas and Nebraska, but were also of value in the Dakotas and Minnesota. where the spring seedlings will thus be given a good start. The downpours in the west and southest resulted Immediately in extensive sales of cash wheat to come here from Kansas City Besides, good authorities wer equoted as declaring that abandoned acreage would now be very small, and that the government May re- port must necessarily put the crop condi- ton percentage at unusually high figures.
 Considerable interest was taken in a re- port that consignments of No. red win ter had been made from Toledo to Balti-
 
 prices are nominally lower than quota tions at Toledo. Millers explained that Baltimore may be a greatly more impor- tant point soon for army and navy sup plies. Numerous resting orders here to- day to buy at decline were based on the chances of bullish possibilities grow ing out of the war.
 Corn went lower in consequence of falling off in cash demand both east and west. There were reports that the south west was selling May corn here and that offerings from Iowa were becoming quite free. It was also said that Illinois deal CTS had evinced more willingness to con- tract corn for shipment to Chicago
 Plentiful moisture helpful to growth tended cease down oats. Furthermore, shipping demand was slow.
 In the provision pit. the offerings from packers and other longs were too heavy to be readily absorbed. Higher prices for hogs failed to act as an offset
 Future quotations were as follows:

GENERAL DECLINE
 IN STOCKS FRIDAY European Selling and Mexi- can Crisis Affecting the
 Foreign Markets

New York, April 24~-European selling Was largely responsible for the general decline today in stocks. Foreign mar kets were nervous over the Mexican crisis and the depression due to this influence was increased by the illness of the Elm peror of Austria. Europe unloaded stocks here steadily until long after the close of the London market Selling for for eign account was variously estimated at 30,0O0 to 5000 shares.
 The market at the opening followed the lead of London. where prices of Ameri- can stocks were marked down. Trading during the forenoon was unusually ac- tive and the market was more unsettled than at any other time since the begin ming of hostilities with Mexico There ap- financial district of long war and liqui- dation was more widespread.
 Professional selling alos was heavy and during the forenoon quotations were forced down one to two points new flow average for the downward swing was reported. The lower level attracted in- vestment buying and led to short cover- ing. This increased demand for both &C., counts checked the decline, and after noon there was a rally. Toward the close, however, prices eased off again.
 Canadian Pacific again was thrown over in large amounts by European holders and also was sold here by Montreal It was forced down more than points and reached the lowest price at which it has sold since it became a 10 per cent stock. It's present price is nearly 1OC points under the high record made in 1912
 New Haven also developed pronounced weakness, as did .iumber of stocks. Mexican Petroleum, Smelting and South ern Pacific, which are particularly affect ed by the Mexican trouble
 Bonds were lower, with active selling of some high-grade issues. Total sales, par value, $2, ,290000.
 Government bonds again were depressed with most pronounced heaviness in Pan. anna 3s. The issue, which lost a point, was especially sensitive, owing to the ex- pectation that, if the government should float a war loan it would be in the form of an offering of these bonds

 FOR PREP SCHOOL
 MEET ATLEXINGTON

Lexington, Va, April 2L-tSpeeial)-A fast track and clear sky await the no entrants in the second annual inter- scholastic track meet held under the aus pices of the Washington and Lee Ath- letic association. Athletes from F states began arriving early this morning and over 70 have arrived for a night of rest
 Twelve field events will be contested by the scholastic entrants, and it is ex- pected that at least 10 records of 1915 will fall before the prowess of the vis- itors. Only the 100 and 200-yard dash are expected to stand record time. having ben set last year by Jones of Washing ton Western High school. The Ashe- vile school entered the largest delega- ton with IA men, while the Roanoke High school Staunton Military academy and the Staunton High school entered 10 and nine contestants respectively. The Kee- vain academy of Wisconsin, Poly Prep of Brooklyn and the Birmingham High school have entered in the meet.

Casual Comments
 on Yesterdays Game

The Barons lost. It was not a dis graceful defeat. and it was an excellent game. The large crowd thoroughly en- Joyed it-though it must be admitted il the Barons had won then there would have been joy indeed. Score was to 3 in favor of the Billi- kens. The game was quickly played, as there was plenty of pepper on both ades Both hurlers were also in mid-season trim and retired the batters on high flies with consistency.
 Harbin. the Barons' recruit hurler. lost his own game. He pitched good ball all the way, but played two bunts miserably in the fifth, which with punched hits re- suited in three runs and the game for the Billikens.
 The Barons made all their runs in the fourth stanza-the only bad inning for Re- cruit Black.
 Black, or Loudenslager the southpaw recruit of the Biilikens pitched a mas terly game. Outside of the fourth he was never in danger, although his offer ings were hit hard, but generally high in the air. There was plenty of work for the outfelders throughout the entire pas time.
 Leftfelder Magee of the Barons made a sensational catch in the first of a line foul off Dalys bat in deep left after a hard run. In the fourth Magee repeated with two other shoe string catches in left. His fielding was the feature of the game.
 Knisely also played excellently In right, making several hard catches. At bat Peter walked once and sacrificed once. The other times at bat he flied out.
 sss
 Charlie Bell at third base cavorted in great style and handled all His chances cleanly He also hit the ball hard on the nose everytime at bat. but was unfortu- nate in the fact that the ball was always lined into 8 waiting fielder's hands.
 Bell lined out to Daly in left field in the second inning. Some fans banned the boy for this, as Magee and Tragesser had attempted double steal and Magee was in fact at third base when Bell hit the ball. It was a terrific wallop, but straight in Jud Daly's hands, and Ma l spoiled an excellent chance to make some runs for the Barons, but it does not ap- pear that Recruit Bell was to blame.
 
 The gardeners had field day yester- day-having Is difficult chances thrust on them.
 Four of the Billikens managed to steal bases-Baker twice, Hollander and Daley once each. Peter Knisely was the only burglar to get by on Catcher Gribbens.
 
 The game was played in :45, which is not slow by any means.
 There was a goodly crowd yesterday afternoon at Redwood. There should be better one today as the Barons are playing good ball. The team can't win every day. and so long as there is fast hall game staged the fans should worry.

MAY OPTION SHOWS THE MOST STRENGTH Market Nervous, at Highest , to II Points Over
 Thursdays Close

New Orleans April 24.-Cotton moved nervously today, at the highest standing 5 to Il points over yesterdays close ana 8 to points .nder at the lowest. The close was points up to points down. compared with the last prices of yester- day. The May option displayed the most strength at all times, and the reason for this was the rumor of bull movement in that option.
 While weather conditions were better than expected, they were not favorable enough to cause pronounced selling. Cables were bullish and the weekend statistics were favorable, especially the into-sight figures
 Profit-taking by satisfied longs was in evidence on all hard spots and held the market from advancing. It was free in the afternoon.
