WON'T TAKE CHANCE
WITH CARRANzISTAS

WASHINGTON, ID. c., May 10.
The administration won't take
a chance with Carranza. This is
the inner significance of the move
rushing the militia and additional
infantry to the border.
Although the officials assume
that Carranza is acting in good
faith, they admit his attitude is
surprising in connection with his
demands for time limit after
Wilson had informally approved
the Scott-Obregon agreement.
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1916-05-10

made the situation more grave.
The administration had thought
the agreement had practically eff
Iected an end. The reinforcing
OF the border troops was to pre-
vent further raids and to per

time limit demands.
1t is evident the administration
has reached stage where 1t il
not inclined to temporarize much
further, but is still optimistic In

WEEKLY REVIEW OF COTTON MARKET Trading Badly Broken by Holidays and Govern
 ment Reports

New Orleans, June 2-Trading in cot ton on this market this week was bad ly broken up by the holidays and the government report on condition. The general tendency of prices was down ward and the net change for the week was a loss on the active months of p points.
 The main feature of the week was the first government condition report of the season, issued Thursday which put the condition on May 25, at 775 per cent of the normal, against ex- pectatoins in this market of just about 80. After short lived spurt of about 15 points the market fell a little more than 30 points under heavy selling. much of it from bearish traders who had been waiting for hard spot to sell on On the short side of the mar ket the general claim was that weather conditions since May 25 had been fa- vorable enough to offset the bullish import of the figures
 The weather of the week was called very favorable and led to much selling Talk of large tenders of undesirable grades against July contracts caused liquidation in that month, but the spot market itself was steady, making only a partial response to the decline in futures.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1916-06-03
COTTON MARKET
 IS VERY NERVOUS
Market Opened Steady at an Advance, But Prices
 Based Off

New York, June 2.-The cotton market vas nervous and irregular again today, with the close steady, net 1 point lower to 2 points higher. After selling at 12.74c early, October declined to 12.65c, rallied to 127Oc, and broke to 1262c in the late trading with the price closing at 12.6Sc
 The market opened steady at an ad- vance of 1 to points with active months selling about to : points above last nights closing figures on or immediately after the call. This was in response to relatively steady cables, while there was also good deal of Liverpool buying here to undo straddles and some scat tered covering by sellers yesterday. There was very little demand, however, and prices soon turned easier owing to the continued good weather in the south and the growing optimism of sentiment with reference to new crop prospects. July contracts eased off from 12.63c to 12.52c. While December declined from S8c to 12.80c, with active months gen. erally showing net losses of from 3 to 6 points during the middle of the morn ing. Offerings then seemed to taper off and rather reactionary sentiment be- came evident around the ring owing to the bullish average of southern spot news ana the extent or the recent Qe- cline. It was argued that diminishing activity reflected the reduction in the scattering long interest, and there may have been some scattered buying as well as covering of shorts. At any rate, July frmed up to 12.5Sc and December to 12.S5c, or to about or shade over last nights closing figures during the early afternoon. Demand failed to broaden on the rally and sentiment seemed to be disturbed by reports of big naval battle in the North sea as there was renewed liquidation and scat tering local pressure under which prices made new low ground for the move ment July sold off to 12.50c and De- cember to 12.7Sc or to points net lower. Buying by houses with Liverpool connections and renewed coercing caused final rallies of to points from the lowest. Private cables reported very small southern offerings in Liverpool and relative firmnes there may also have been promoted by the decrease in the Liverpool stock.

SEVERE UPHEAVAL ON STOCK EXCHANGE RumOrs of British Losses in Naval Battle Cause Heavy
 Liquidation

New York, June 2.-The stock market
 expressed sudden and somewhat severe upheaval today after an early period of active strength, in the course of which several important new high records were registered. Rumors adverse to the cause
 of the entente allies were concerned dur ing the intermediate session, but it was not until almost the final hour that the report of the German admiralty was | forthcoming.
 Prior to that the time the list had dis
 closed gains of to points in rails of ivarious classes with a new maximum for Norfolk and Western at 133 and a g. point gain in Big Four, Vanderbilt sub- sidiary, in connection with rumors that the stock soon would be restored to its former dividend rate.
 l Specialties, particularly the automobile group and rubber issues identified with the motor industry, were higher by ? to 5 points, with gain of 19 points for iWillys-Overland at the new high of 294 The movement in these stocks gathered much of it's impulse from reports or huge consolidation to capitalized at not less than $10O000,000.

 Forecasts of the weeks known cash movements point to only nominal gam .by local banks, notwithstanding the Isteady accessions of gold from Canada Bank clearings were somewhat diminished iby the intervening holiday, but were largely in excess of the corresponding lweek of last year.
