VALUES OF COTTON
 GOODS ARE STEADY
Cotton Mills Are as Fully Employed as Restricted
 Labor Will Permit

New York, June 17.-Soft spots con tinue in some parts of the cotton goods market but on the whole values are very steady and mills are as fully em- ployed as restricted labor supplies will permit. The corase and heavy ends of the cloth markets seem stronger than the medium and finer ends. Cotton duck, wide sheetings, many numbers of staple sheetings, and specialties in heavy goods are firm, while gray goods for printing and converting are easier. Print cloths have dropped from "A c for 3S4 inch 64x60s, a month ago, to .53sc which was paid yesterday for a contract for June and July delivery. B1eached goods rule steady and col ored cottons, including ginghams, rule firm. The seasonable cleaning up of fine and fancy cottons is going on at prices that show profits on past pur- chases but below the levels of to- days cost of replacement. Yarn mar kets rule very firm on the whole, and knit goods are being bought literally for the coming spring season. The job bers are doing very satisfactory busi- ness and retailers are doing a better business by far than last year. al- though summer merchandise is not moving as fast as anticipated, due to cool weather. One element that is mill itating against future operations on gray goods is the high cost of finishing and that does not give promise of early improvements, as finishers have plenty of work in hand.
 Quotations are: Print cloths, 2S-inch, s4x64s, 4Ac; 64x60s, 4c; sS1a inch, s4x 64s, sac; brown sheetings, southern standards SAc; denims, 2.20-ounce, i'm digo, 1Sc; tickings, S-ounce, 1514c; sta pie ginghams Sc; standard prints, 7c; dress ginghams, 101Rc.

FOREIGN BUYING
 STEAD|ES MARKET
Cotton Market Affected by Weather Conditions and
 Prospect of War

New Orleans, June 17.--After decline of 1 to points on the opening today, the cotton market steadied up, and went to points above yesterdays close. Buying for the account of foreign traders who were reversing market straddle op- erations, was generally supposed to be the chief steadying influence. The mar lSet closed at a net loss of 1 to 2 points.
 Liverpool was very poor on both spots and futures and the local market fell off in the initial trades. Bearish traders comment considered the weather outlook much improved; less rain being shown on the map, while the official forecast unrolled predicted fair weather over the belt, except for showers in Georgia and the Carolinas. The selling movement which started on this, however, was checked by reports of too much rain in Texas and private reports of rains this morning in Texas and Oklahoma. These nteIligences also served to offset the effect at times of considerable liquida- ton of long cotton complained of but at no time did the market show any real buying resiliency.
 The Mexican situation attracted more than ordinary attention and prospects of war were considered more bullish than bearish because of the effect such an event probably would have on consump- tion and the Texas crop.

EXPORT PRESSURE
 EXPRESSES WHEAT
Bears Ruled Pit and Holders Could Discern No Relief
 From Europe

Chicago, June H.-Expected pressure from the new crop resulted today in the wheat market falling to virtually s1 c bushel. Prices close unsettled, %@7sc to 11s@114c down, with July at $1.003s and September at $102%. Corn lost 14c to 1z05sc and oats B@4c to ssc. In provi- to a rise of 10c.
 the session. Holders could discern no re- lief in sight from Europe and gave plain evidence of anxiety over reports that country dealers were asking for bids on new wheat. According to a leading au- thority, the market seemed to be water logged with supplies of old wheat and to be entirely unable to withstand hedg- ing sales that appeared imminent on ac- count of the northward spread of the 1916 harvest. One foreign government, said to be either France or Italy, was re- ported to be inquiring for wheat, but the bids were exclusively for shipments from Manitoba.
 Speculators who anticipated many rest ing orders to buy at the even dollar took offerings freely at 1sc to ssc above that level The prices reached today were the lowest yet this season.
 Corn sagged with wheat. Bearish fac- tors included favorable weather and en- larged rural offerings. Excellent field con- ditions weakened oats. A good sized de- crease in stocks next week. hdwever, was looked for.
 Reports that the Belgian relief comnis- sion was actively buying lard and meats rallied the provision market. At first low CT prices on hogs had depressing effect.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter

New York, June H.-(special)-As the straddles have been reversed the long in- terest abroad has passed into weaker hands, who are uneasy under the reports of the decline in freight rates and seek to liquidate. Here, the market shows the strength of the belief in eventually higher prices from peace. though peace seems less probable now than for sometime past Some Wall street cotton came out on the seriousness of the Mexican outlook. The Mexicans are we'll aware of the small number of troops we possess and believe they can invade the United States with impunity and win by the force of num- bers. Weather conditions point to warm, clearing weather in the south.

Roumania's King

More of student than soldier, TO- nance has entered largely in to the life of King Ferdinand of Roumania who seems destined to play an important part in the terrible war which is rav- aging Europe He was greatly be- loved by his aunt. "Carman Sylvia who has just died How wish he were my son!" she said one day. But even so could not love him more than do." At the time King Ferdinand was small boy. and little did either tfunk that he would one day, by a se- ries of accidents. occupy the throne Of Roumania.
 King Carol and Carmen SyIva had one child, girl. who died at an early age and as it appeared improbable that there would be direct heir to the throne, King Carols eldest brother was made heir apparent. He. however, re- signed his right in favor of his eldest son. Prince Wilhelm, who in, turn passed on the prospective royal heritage to his brother, the present King.
 Ferdinand was created crown prince in 1889. and with that thoroughoness which is so characteristic of kim he set himself to learn the art of statesman ship. His majesty possesses a tremend- ous capacity for hard work, and, al- though more fond of books than of sol-
 
 of military matters. He is not with out experience as soldier in the field. He took an active part in the campaign Of 1918, when Roumania sent an army of about 500,000 men across the Bull garian border. Although the Bulgarians were too busily engaged elsewhere to offer any opposition to the new invad- CTS, the Roumanian military estab- lishment went through all the maneu- vers of real conflict, and Prince Ferdinand. as he then was, bore his share of the work with a cheerful good fellowship which won the admiration of his soldiers.
 Love first came into the prince's life when he was attracted by the charms of one of Carmen Sylvia's ladies-in- waiting. He completely lost his heart to her. T have never known any, thing so beautiful as their devotion to each other" Carmen Sylva wrote. "It is love pure and ideal; they seem made for one another. but fear their union Is impossible" And so it proved, for King Carol would not hear of the flu ture King of Roumania marrying his wife's maid of honor, however charm ing she might be, and to this edict the lovers had to submit.
 Ferdinand ultimately married the sweet faced Princess Marie, daughter of the Duke of Edinburgh. After a brief and happy wooing he led her to the altar in 1893. The King has six children, two boys and four girls, the heir to the throne being the Crown Prince Carol. who Is now 23 years of age.

South Africa's wealthiest Citizen


 Sir Abe Bailey, who is bearing the bulk of the cost of raising 100 picked sharpshooters in South Africa to deal with the German snipers on the west ern front is not a stranger to such work, for during the South African war he not only served as intelligence officer, but helped to raise the South African Light Horse, and attained the rank of major in Gorringe's flying col- umn.
 Sir Abe Is South Africa's wealthiest citizen and also one of the most popu- lar men in the country. A thorough sportsman, a. keen politician. and still keener soldier. Abe" as he is gem orally called. is known as the fight ing magnate," and in picking 100 sharp shooters from among the South Afrf- cans he knows exactly what he Is do- ing, for the South Africans have worldwide reputation for markham ship.
 Sir Abe laid the foundations of his fortunes when he became prominent as one of "Rhodes' young men," and later on succeeded to the empire builders committee in the Cape legislative as- sembly. He figured in the Jameson raid, and when Lord Hawke and his English cricketing team arrived in the gold reef city they found Sir Abe. who was to have been their host. in prison. Ultimately he was released on payment of a fine of f2000.
 Not the leJst of Sir Abe's qualifica- tions Is his capacity for making friends and during his incarceration with Dr. Jameson for his participation in the fla nous raid the prison officials were ready to do anything for him. f
 His generosity is proverbial. He was the originator of the imperial cricket test match scheme, while no man has done more for racing In South Africa, his success in this country also being considerable. It is one of Sir Abe's Jokes that he never misses cricket match or race meeting; while he is fond of telling of the amusing shifts which had to be resorted to when he was raising the South African Light Horse, on account of the limited out fitting resources. For instance. tho cocks feathers which gave so jannty an appearance to the corps were mostly provided by the girls of the town. who gladly stripped their headgeaz for pop ular "Abe" and his men. (e

PRICES EASE OFF
 ON COTTON MARKET
General List Closed Barely Steady at Net Decline of
 2 to 4 Points

New York. June 17.-Prospects for clearing weather and nervousness over the Mexican situation seemed 10 pro-
 mote scattering liquidation in the cot- ton market this morning and after a slight early advance prices eased off. October contracts sold down from 12 95c | to 12.SSc, closing at the lowest with
 the general list closing barely steady at a net decline of 2 to points. Relatively easy cables were offset by reports of a further decline in ocea n freight rates and houses with Liver pool connections were moderate buyers here at the opening. First prices were points lower to 3 points higher with near months relatively easy, but the tone seemed to improve during the progess of the call and active months sold to points net higher shortly sfte tre opening.
 The continued showers in the east ern belt following the recent com plaints of too much rain and reports that the crop was getting into grass Iii some sections of Alabama probably promoted this early advance, but the chief report seemed to be the buying nere for Liverpool account. As soon as these orders had been supplied the market turned easier on the western belt forecast for fair weather while there seemed to be some scattered Wall street selling which had been inspired by the unsettled situation in Mexico. July sold off from soc to 12.72c, while December declined from 13.11c to 13.05c, and the market closed at practically the low point of the morning.
 Private cables reported a ser,i-hoIt-
 day market in Liverpool with iobbers working against prices but the decline abroad was considered a response to
 reduced costs of transportation and the
 expectation of increased shipments
 from this side. It was reported here
 that ocean freight room from New
 York to Liverpool is now available at
 sl.25 per hundred and the difference
 between the New York and Liverpool
 markets has narrowed by about 90
 points during the past week. This is
 about equivalent to the decline in ocean freight rates, but some thought the
 Liverpool buying this morning repre-
 sented fresh straddle business in the
 expectation of still narrower differ
 ences. as freight room is still said to
 be offering freely.

DULL SESSION ON
 STOCK EXCHANGE
Trading Adversely Influ- enced by Mexican and Rail-
 road Labor Situations

New York, June 17.-There was little in today's short and dull session to justify extended or specific comment. Prices of leading stocks receded from substantial fractions to a point, under the adverse influence of the Mexican and the railroad labor situations, while certain special ties, notably Mexican Petroleum, New York Air Brake, General Electric Pressed Steel Car and several of the other motors were lower by ? to points. Partial re- coveries from these levels occurred be- fore the close, but the undertone was in- clined to heaviness. Total sales of stocks amounted to only 220,0O0 shares.
 Inflow of gold from Canada amounted to s4,700,0O0, bringing the total movement from across the border up to $61, 300, GOO, and another small export of the metal to Cuba, presumably in connection with the sugar industry, was reported.
 Mercantile agencies noted further con- traction of business in certain lines, but trade in general is booked up for many months to come. Prices of various prod ucts, following the tendency of fabricat- ing iron and steel, are inclined to ease off. There was further shading of ex- change rates on Berlin and Vienna, a condition naturally attributed to the de- feat of the Austrian forces in the Russian drives Sterling and francs were vir- tually unaltered with light dealings.
 The bank statement showed further reduction of actual loans. which de. creased by more than $20,000,0OO, with a gain of as much in cash and an increase of about $21, ,500,000 in excess reserves, bringing that item up to almost $94O0O,- 900, as against s56,0OO,0O0 early in the month.
 narrow and irregular tone ruled in the bond market with further reduction of offerings of the Anglo French issue, which made slight recovery. Total sales of bonds, par value, $1,910,0O0.
 United States As and Panama 3s de- clned A per cent on call during tho week.
