In the Franco.Prussian war in the
year 1870 there were $4,000 cases of
typhoid fever in the Germany army.
Out of this number there were 1000
deaths. In the Boer war the British
army suffered from typhoid fever to
the extent of $1,000 cases, Of which
5000 died. During the war with Spain
the United States army was ravaged
with typhoid fever. In 1898 there were
20,7@S cases and $50 deaths among
1OS,000 men. In other words, one man
in every five contracted typhoid
fever. Even among the troops which

COTTON GOODS ARE
 GENERALLY QUIET
Merchants Place Confidence in the Holding Power
 of Values

New York, March 13.-primary markets
 for cotton goods have ruled generally
 quiet and fairly steady. Merchants are
 placing confidence in the holding power of cotton values as factor in maintain-
 ing prices during the period that VIII eapse before active fall trading on
 staples begins The charging of goods on
 old orders Is quite full. and requests for
 antopations of shipments are not uncom- mon. showing that stocks are not abun- dant and retail trade Is moving.
 The dyestuffs shortage Is becoming
 more serious every week. some large col- ored goods mills having already with drawn their lines. and many printers and weavers being unable to guarantee det.y- cries of certain colors wanted. The de- mand for white goods and wash goods is active and seasonable. Prints are quiet. Staple ginghams are steady. fancy ging-
 hams very quiet. Beached goods hold firm. Duck for export continues in de-
 mand. but commercial lines are quiet. The jobbers are receiving many small orders for all lines, and there has been
 an improvement in retail distribution in
 the larger centers. Wide print cloths are holding steady, with mills declining to sell late contracts at current prices An improved demand Is noted for lining speeElties. Yarns are dull and easy. Underwear and hosiery are in moderate request only.

NEW YORK MARKET
 IS RATHER QUIET
Cotton Closes Steady Net ? Points Lower to 1 Point
 Higher

New York, March 1S-After some early irreguiarity. due to renewal of yesterdays selling movement. cotton was comparatively quiet and steady to- day with the close steady. net points lower to 1 point higher
 The market opened steady at an ad- vance of 8 to points in response 10 relatively firm cables. but very quickly weakened under over night selling or ders with active months selling about to 8 points under last nights closing figures, within the first half hour
 A bearish view of the visible supply statement owing to the comparatively small spinners' takings for the week. and reiterated predictions of falling off in the export movement based on the decreased amount of cotton on ship board awaiting clearance, were proba- bly factors on the early decline. but the selling was neither active nor ag- gressive. and offerings were well taken on the basis of e.soc for october con- tracts. This represented a decline of about r points from the high level of yesterday which probably attracted some realizing by shorts, while there was also some Liverpool buying. be- lieved to be undoing of straddles on the slightly wider differences
 At any rate the market steadied and rallied a few poi.lts from the lowest on a renewal of scattered investment buying, which had the encouraD sments of reports of steady spot markets and the circulation of reduced acreage pre- dictions by some of the local houses.

PRESSURE OF BEARS
 FELT BY COTTON Values Hold We'll and Ef- forts to Cause Re-
 action Fail

New Orleans, March 13.-Bears put pres sure on cotton today, but values held we'll and efforts to bring about a reac- tion were fruitless. The continued stead mess of spots was a sustaining influence of importance. In the early trading the market failed to respond to the good Liv- erpool prices, owing to the press of of ferings, and prices went couple of points under yesterdays close. Late in the ses- sion the market recovered and went { points over yesterdays last prices. The close Twas ? to 3 points up, net.
 Bears called attention to the fact that mill takings for the week were under thoss of-the same week for the last two years but exports for the week were so much larger than for the same week last year-3o9, ,0S5 bales against 114,96S-that the talSings did not create much interest. Dur ing the last two weeks foreign exports have amounted to 71365O bales, as against 6S7, 900 bales for the whole of March last year Weather conditions over the belt were considered Sullish because they were favorable to the planting of corn.

STOCK TRADING IS

Professional Element I'm parts Some Firmness to
 Better Known Issues

New York, March 13-Stock trading to- day was narrow. dull and altogether pro- fessional. the latter element impartng some firmness to the better known is sues by covering. some of it's outstapd- ing commitments. Specialties. more par ticularly the motor group, moved to lower levels on further profit taking, but showed some recuperative powers in the final dealings. Market leaders were disposed to sag at the outset, but closed the day with moderate gains.
 Overnight developments bearing upon financial conditions were without influ- ence even though they told of further Improvement in the steel trade and in- creased dry goods shipments. Tester nay's suspension of the preferred divi- dcnd on Southern railway was followed by renewed heaviness in the stock and bonds.
 Foreign markets were easier, except Italian remittances, which held at the previous days final quotation and gave rise to further conjecture respecting ancial.arrangements between our bank CTS and Italian interests. More gold i'm ports from Canada are expected in the coming week.
 London's markets were firm, the new war and exchequer bonds showing espe- cial strength. Little inquiry was seen for American securities. Rumor were current of an impending price revision of our stocks by authorities of the London ex- change
 The principal feature of the local bank statement was the increase of about $40. ooc,000 in the loan account. Much of this expansion was traceabe to the shifting of loans connected with the New York slate bond sale. There was a nominal gain in cash with a small increase In excess reserves.
