New York Cotton.

New York, April 21.-Relatively easy cables we're followed by a re- newal of scattering liquidation or realizing in the cotton market here early today and first prices were 6@9 noits lower. Offerings were very well taken at this level, however, with spot houses buying near months aoainst sales of later deliveries, while there was some foreign buying of the new crop and moderate support from Wall street sources, This gave the market a steady undertone and prices were worked up or points from the lowest during the early traalng.
 Weather advices were considered generally favorable, but an improv- ine export demand was reported in the market for cotton goods and Liverpool reported good spot de- mand at te decline of that market.
 Rallies brought out increased of ferings during the morning and the market was unsettled after midday, With prices ruling some S@13 pomts net lower. The favorable weekly weather report and rumors that spot cotton was offering more reeiy III the Southwest appeared to inspire some local selling in addition to the realizing or liquidation.
 Active months sold 13@16 points net lower on the early afternoon break under continued scattering liouidation and local selling. Offer ings became less active around 10.65c for October, and prices rallied or 5 points on covering. Closed steady. The range.

federal grand jury at Davenport, Is
, member of counterfeiting gang, the
leaders of which were arrested at MO-
line, Ill.,, two weeks ago in the opinion
of u. S. Secret Service Agent Mills OF
Omaha, who Saturday visited Musca-
tine to secure the accused counter
feiter
When the Mexican was given a
hearing before Commissioner Busch
Saturday little twelve years old Joseph
Sanchez proved to be the star witness
for the government. The little fellow
told of having seen Topaz and another
Mexican together at the rooms oc-
cupied by Lafolz, engaged in colorlng
the coins. The juvenile witness
through an interpreter stated that the
men tipped the bright coins IN soiu-
ton which he described as having the
appearance of gravy and which gave
the spurious coins dull and worn ap-
pearance. Counterfeit coins in order
to pass inspection must appear worn
and expert testimony introduced was
to the effect that it was necessary TO
wash counterfeits with such solution
frequently.
Juan Sanchez. the father or the
boy, also appeared as witness ana
told of the boy receiving money
from Topaz.

HAS UNIQUE SYSTEM
OF CARRYING WATER

Wilton, Feb. 23-J. H. Kenoss, who
owns the old Doty farm on the west
side OF the river, south of Rochester,
has constructed unique system of
gathering soft water and conducting it
into his home without having to resort
to mechanical power. On elevated
ground about 800 feet from the house
he has built concrete catch basin 35X
IS feet, at the corner of which 800
barrel cistern was dug, and from this
the water is filtered into pipes and con-
veyed by force of gravity pressure to
his large two-story dwelling. where it
is available for use on both floors. The
source of supply is forty feet higher
than the place of discharge, thus in
surfing a good strong flow at all times.
Three inches of rainfall will fill the
cistern and provide supply of abso-
lutely pure water sufficient to last for
a considerable time. 1t is very in
genious and useful arrangement, and is
comparatively inexpensive.
