 T may say just here that my hobby is Philippines and the languages of the is- land" said Dr. Conant enthusiastically. While Spanish is the official language of the Philippines. the native language and dialects number something over 100. and these are spoken by ao per cent of the population. Many will deny this, but 1t is true nevertheless. For three years I acted as interpreter for the Philippines commission, and it was during my resi- denee there that I become so much in terested in the language. The most diff cult position n lingulst can occupy Is that of interpreter I may say just here. Ii takes a wonderful quick mind to grasp even the ordinary conversation. The in- terpreter must think quickly. and have the idomatic phrases at his fingers tips always. It is the greatest example of mental gymnastics that can be demon- strated by a lngust.
 Tn the matter of accent" I asked. is time honored idea that the na- tive accent cannot he acquired in coun- try foreign to the language"
 That question can be answered from number of different angles" pr. Conant replied. Spanish, in the first place and Us accent IS not a problem like the French language. II is much more easily pronounced It is much easier to master. It has none of the musical accent or what might be termed the phonetic ac- cent of the French language. The chief difficulty encountered by americans in learning Spanish Is their inability to pro- nounee clearly and distinctly the unac- cented vowels made prominent, which Is just the reverse of English. Many learn the Spanish language thoroughly, but few put 1t into practical use. Expression is

 Continental interests were moderate sell CTS, but houses with Liverpool connec- tions were good buyers, presumably De- cemher straddles as differences between the two markets have recently widened some 25 to 30 points and active months worked about 10 to 3 points net higher during the middle of the morning. After the close of Liverpool shut out arbitrary buying, demand was less active, and the market weakened during the middle of the day under a renewal of liquidation. New Orleans and Wall street selling, part of which was probably encouraged by re-
  talk of favorable new crop progress. The decline carried prices off to practically last nights closing figures, but there was a sharp rally late in the afternoon on re- newed covering reports and stock strengthening and some bull support which seemed to be inspired by more favorable political conditions or for eign news.

COTTON CLOSES
 AT NET ADVANCE Supply Not Equal to De- mand and Market Is
 OversOld

New Orleans, July 12.-cotton dis played alternating periods of strength and weakness today. and closed at a net advance of to 13 points This was the highest of the day. In the last half hour of trading prices bulged sharply on wave of realizing by recent sell CTS. The ring could not supply the de. mand and the market acted decidedly oversold.
 During the best part of the day the market stood net decline and had an easy undertone as the result of bearish sentiment encouraged by the political situation. and favorable weather conditions over the belt. At the lowest the most active months were s points under the close of last week.
 The opening was at the advance, but the rise was met by short selling, and a sag followed. Toward the middle of the morning, prices were to ' points up, but this hard spot called out lib. eral offerings under which the mar . het weakened. From then on the mar ket showed little activity and was in. clined to sag until late in the session, when the ring was filled with buyir g orders, and prices took a sharp upturn.

.bEARISH REACTION
 IN WHEAT MARKET
The Lowest Levels Reached in the Price of
 Provisions

Chicago, July 12.-After making con siderable advance today, the wheat mar ket underwent hearish reaction that ap- peared mainly due to the smal,ness of tho visible supply decrease. Quotations closed unsettled, 1he off to sse up, compared with Saturday night Corn finished at 1c de- cline to lsc advance, oats down hdssc to ssc and provisions with losses of 25aSoe.
 In the corn market wet weather and the lghtness of stocks and of country offers tended to support hearish attacks so far as the July option was concerned. The deferred months, however, were clearly affected by the wheat weakness.
 Oats were governed chiefly by the ac- tion of other grain.
 Lowest levels so far this year were reached In the price of provisions.

Hubbard Pors. & Co.'S Letter

New York, July Special. )-Ca- bles this morning did not make full response to our violent decline of Sat urday and spot sales were in fair vol ume at 12,000 bales There was an ab- sence of the same heavy pressure which was a feature of the market on Satur- day and a differences are wider than for sometime there was a considerable arbitrage demand which absorbed the local and scattered southern selling. There also appeared to be some trade demand under the market which is not surprising in view of the present level of prices at time when the crop IS entering upon it's most critical stage In the last half hour the strength of the stock market. accompanied by sew cral unconfirmed rumors of favorable news from the War zone caused a sharp advance in prices which closed at the best for the day. Local sentiment re- mains extremely bearish but the mar ket presents tonight rather sold out appearance.
