TRADING INACTIVE
 ON COTTON MARKET
Market Bulged in Early Trading, But Sagged
 Until Close

New Orleans. April S.-Sotton bulged lS to 15 points in the early trading on this market today, but the gain was not well maintained apparently because of week end liquidation of long contracts. The rise was in the nature of a reaction from yes- terday's slump, and partly the result Of the cold wave sweeping the cotton belt.
 Cables were about as due, and the in itial trading was quiet but steady at a small advance. Low temperatures over the belt and the absence Of any disquiet- ing reports in the morning dispatches concerning the relations between this country and Germany. such as were fore cast by the rumors of yesterday after noon, caused buying wave and fair ly active market soon after the call. Bull ishly inclined traders however. were eau tious because of the susceptibility of the market to unfavorable political reports and the possibilities both in the direction of Germany and Mexico. After the mid dle of the morning there was a gradual sag, and the close was at net gain for the session of to points.

LESS DEMANDFOR
 COTTON GOODS Market Still Strong, But Trading Is on a Smaller Scale-Prices Steady

New York. April s.-Cotton goods narkt continues strong in price with trading on a smaller scale There are still many orders being booked for goods to be delivered all through this year and some instances are reported of buyers trying to market engage ments into next year. The jobbers are much less active in purchases than the manufacturing trades. Colored cotton goods still continue very firm and ire quent instances are reported of higher prices being paid for fast colored cloths.
 Staple southern ginghams were ad- vanced another Ac during the week to a basis of cents a yard, cent a yard higher than similar goods ever sold. This high price is due largely to the high cost of fast dyes Bleached goods continue firm with an advancing tendency. Wide sheetings are sold in many instances to the end of the year and many brands are sold ahead into September Cotton duck rules very firm. Print cloths and convertibIes are firm, with advances reported in sa- teens, wills and some heavy drills Fancy goods are active at higher prices, late contracts being placed. Fine yarn goods are exceedingly high and firm.
 Quoted prices are as follows: Print cloths. 2S-inch 64x64s. 4c; 64x60s, SAc; 3s1h-inch 64x64s, Shsc; brown sheet ings. southern standards. &c., denims' zoe, indigo. 1Shc; tickings, S-ounce, 15c: standard staple ginghams, sc' standard staple prints, 6lae; dress ginghams, 10c.

COTTON MARKET
 REC0VERS LOSSES
General List Closed Steady at a Net Advance of 6

l New York, April S-The cotton market

 Private cables attributed the decline in Liverpool to a little hedge selling on a narrow Saturday morning market, but the influence of the cables was quickly overshadowed by the advances in New Orleans and over night reports of steady spot markets. The low temperatures re- ported in the extreme southwest attract ed some attention, although local traders considered it rather early in the season for such news to exert any influence of 1 consequence. Reviews of the domestic goods trade showed continued strength and activity, and the little trade buying of near months around the local ring was supposed to be in the way of cov- erine hedges for spinners account.

MATERIAL DECLINE
 ON WHEAT MARKET
Foreign Relations Affect Prices and Tendency Is
 Downward

Chicago, April S.-Uneasiness over the relations of Germany and the United States caused the wheat market today to undergo material declines, which were only removed in part by rumors that Germany would disavow the sinking of ! the Sussex. Prices closed unsettled, 1ssc to 19s@115c net lower, with May at SLIGO 1.161s and July at $114G1 14s. Corn lost 1k@1sc and ats 1sc to A9asc. In provisions the outcome varied from Oc decline to a rise of cents.
 Persistent selling, which began in the wheat pit soon after the start consisted largely of liquidation by holders, includ- ing one of the most prominent of the | bull speculators. Aside from anxiety re- | garding the crisis with Germany ad- vances in war risk insurance rates on the Atlantic, owing to heavy losses which submarines have inflicted on shipping. gave impetus to spread of bearish sen- i timent and so, too, did break in ! the New York stock market. Besides ! mi]der weather in Canada and favorable \ temperatures and snowfalls in the win | ter crop belt tended further to handicap the bull side of the market
 1 Absence of authority for assertions that ! Germany would disavow the sinking of the Sussex prevented the late recovery Tn the wheat market from becoming more complete. On the other hand the upturn | in prices was helped somewhat by word that considerable export business was | done today, and by a prospect that the l United States visible supply total on Monday would show a substantial fall. ing off.
 1 Corn was depressed by the weakness or wheat. Unsettled weather failed to act as an offset. Oats sagged with other grain. There were reports that the acre. age of oats in the southwest was assum- ing huge proportions.
 Provisions averaged lower, influenced somewhat by the setbacks in the va1ue Of cereals. Packers were said to be ex- pecting normal receipts of hogs turins tbo next three weeks.

Pressure Directed Against
 Prominent Stocks Re- suited in Loss

New York, April S.--Pressure was di- rected against the more prominent stocks at the outset of todays brief session, such issues as United States Steel and the better known rails de- Filming to lowest prices of the week. These losses were largely, if not who'll ny, retrieved before the close, when P spirited demand for metals, especial the zinc shares, brought about q general reversal

The ID. C. M."

From the Washington star.
 A delegate to the Pan-American congress in Washington said:
 "They who oppose or dread the Mon- roe doctrine misunderstood it. They mis- understand it as completely as the vil- lage misunderstood the soldiers letter
 "A soldier in the trenches wrote home to his brother that he had got the D c. M. The brother, mad with joy, rushed through the village to show the letter about. Much enthusiasm was aroused. A committee was instituted and a collec- ton begun for the purchase of a suit ably inscribed gold timepiece for the village hero. ea
 But just when the collection had al most reached the needed total the broth CT at home got another letter from the trenches.
 "'Well, Jack, old boy, the second let ter said. they've let me out at last Seven days hard labor for going bit heavy on the red wine of the country side-pretty rough. eh, on the part of oul district court-martial. or D. c. M., as we call it over here?'"

Avery's Letter

Thomas Gibson, in his daily letter on
 cotton, today, said something. In dis
 cussing the broad view of cotton, he
 says, in part:
 ''The real reasons for expecting an ad-
 vance in cotton prices are all basic ana statistical and, no matter what the bears may say, these reasons are sound.
 1.-The first momentum for an advance
 will come, not from a clear recognition of fundamental facts, but from the course of the market itself"
 This is the curious mental attitude of
 nine-tenths of those who speculate. An advance of $2 to $3 a bale will bring buy CTS into the market who would not think of buying on decline, even were the basic conditions exactly the same. One gentleman, with whom I have dis cussed this peculiarity offered the ex- planation that speculatorsi wanted to see a definite trend and action above any, thing else. This is probably true Those who would buy piece of real estate and
 patiently wait year or so and be well satisfied with 15 per cent on their in- vestments, immediately they make an investment in a speculative commod- ity, they want their profits in days in- stead of years and are not satisfied with
 a return less than 100 per cent. Prices today were influenced by the bad weather, which was general through out the cOttOn SrOWlIlS IeSloH Milling anu light frosts were reported at number of Texas and Oklahoma points, and this influence was further ascentuated by a forecast for snow and freezing tempera- lures over the belt.
 The market, after recording at one tinso a1 advance of 13 points, finally closed at a net advance of points on July in New Orleans.
 Spot markets were firm, and Houston reDorted an advance of points, Aus trian interests were said to be buyers in New Orleans today Regard the market q safe purchase around present prices. C. K AVERY

From the Washington Post
 A tight listed old man, feeling very sick, asked a friend to recommend a physician The friend named certain specialist
 "Is he very expensive2" asked the sick man.
 Well, not so very. He'll charge you $4 for the first visit and $2 for each one after that"
 The old fellow soon afterward walked into the office of the physician named by his friend and. upon being admitted to the consulting room. planked down S2, remarking: Well, doctor here. am again.
 The physician calmly picked up the money and put it in drawer which he locked securely The sick man looked on, expectantly awaiting the next move.
 "Wen, I'm ready to be examined" he said at length.
 T don't think it's necessary" replied the shrewd specialist. There's no need to do it again. Keep right on taking the same medicine. Good day, sir"
