PRICES RALLIED ON
 TRADE BUYING
General List Closed Steady Net Two Points Lower to
 Six Points Higher

New York, April 5-A renewal of near month liquidation caused an early decline in the cotton market. but prices rallied on covering and trade buying with July selling up from 1.91c to 12c and closing at Il 07c. The general list closed steady. net point lower to 6 points higher.
 The Liverpool market was again rela- lively easy and prices here opened at a decline of 2 to points with the active months selling about to points net lower before the end of the morning. The near positions were relatively easy, with May easing off to Ii .77c, while De- tober worked down to t2. .04c and Decem- Der to 12 2Oc.
 Sellers of July seemed to be rebuying new crop positions, however, and after the close at Liverpool offerings became lighter, while there seemed to be a partic- ularly good demand for December con- tracts Some attributed this buying to Liverpool, although houses with Liverpool earlier in the day, while others thought it was for the account of some of the larger local spot interests, who were also credited with moderate purchases of May General business was quiet during the entire day, and there was tendency around the ring to attribute the fluctua- tions chiefly to a readjustment of neal month interest. Private cables reported lack of buying in Liverpool, and sait the decline had resulted from liuuidatior py discouraged longs in the markets fol both American and Egyptian.

WANTS ANNIsToN GOODS

G. B. Brown, a civil engineer from Buenos Ayres, who is employed by that South America city, is in Anniston for the purpose of purchasing some Annis- ton made products. He was disincline to state definitely the nature of his err rand here, but said that Anniston pro- ducts were not unknown in Buenos Ayres, and he hoped they would be better known there, adding that they would, If his visit in this city proved successful.
 MT. Brown, who has lived in Buenos Ayres for sometime, says that the city now has about 2100,000 inhabitants, in cluding about 10000 Americans. He says that it is very progressive and has many beautiful residence streets as well as att tractive modern business section.
 Recently, MT. Brown says, Buenos Ayres wanted to place an order for 250,- GOO tons of cast iron pipe in Birmingham and Birmingham district, but was pre- vented from doing so by reason of the fact that there were no boats available to ship the pipe from southern ports. Consequently the city had to place the order in the higher priced markets of the north and the pipe is now being shipped from New York to Buenos Ayres via Liverpool

IRON TRADE REVIEW
 NOTES HEAVY SALES
Pig Iron Market in the East Attracting Much
 Attention

Cleveland, April 5.--(Special)-- Iron Trade Review tomorrow will say:
 Very heavy sales of pig iron have been made by lower lake furnaces during the past month. the tonnage amounting to fully 275,oO0 of which more than half was sold by one Cleveland firm.
 'In eastern territory, the basic pig iron
 market is attracting attention and a sale
 of 2O,000 tons in eastern Pennsylvania, for delivery extending into next year, is re-
 ported. An Economy. Pa. melter has
 purchased 75O0 tons of basic. Recent weak
 ness at Buffalo seems 10 have disap-
 peared. In the case of some of the re-
 cent concessions, the furnaces will net
 more than prices announced indicated, for
 the reason that they will be able to avail
 themselves of low canal rates in mak-
 ing deliveries.
 Pig iron production for March amount
 ed to 3,326.S79 tons, compared with 3,07S,-
 S54 tons in February, a gain of PAS, 331 tons.
 The daily average production in March
 was 1,07, 319 tons, a gain of 1162 tons over
 the daily average for February There
 were 315 active stacks in March, com P6icu Willl olz III Y cDI y. SdleS OI lIdke Superior iron ore to eastern furnaces have already reached the unprecedented amount of nearly three million tons and sellers confidently believe that 5D000 additional will be sold. Hope of largely increasing production Of local ores in eastern territory have not been fully realized. Movement from the Port Henry district has been hampere1 by railroad embargoes, but this condition is improv- ing.
 Domestic inquiry for machine tools shows decided improvement in the east and small orders making a very respect able total are being received from many industries. While there is a very active demand from muniton manufacturers other buyers including railroads arc strong factors. The sentiment prevailing among manufacturers of machine tools is strongly in favor of giving Americar r , buyers preference over those from for eign lands. The Neptune Meter company Long Island City, has placed orders fol several hundred machine tools and is still in the market. The Lehigh Valley rail road has purchased large number oi | tools in addition to those recently or. dered

Avery's Letter

The bears hammer the cotton market day after day They get July in New Orleans down to 11.S4 and S5c and there it absolutely refuses to budge any further. This market is automatically begged below this figure by the refusal of spot prices to break. Holders of spot cotton can make their own price from now on by careful marketing. Spin ners are sold short on their goods and they have gone short passing their prices on the highest price they have paid for raw cotton. If they took all the stocks available at all ports and interior towns which are counted they would not have enough cotton to full fill their forward commitments. So why let them take it away from you. lighted up every time they try to break spots by the old trick of ham mering futures down.
 They will not be able to get any new cotton until well into August and not much then. Furthermore, 1t is a far cry to August, and with all the vicisi- tudes of the growing season ahead If growers will ever get it into their head to grow enough and no more than enough to meet the worlds demands for American cotton by slow and judicious marketing tkey could absolutely domi- nate the price.
 No change of opinion; advise pur- chases on all small recessions.

GENEROUS RESPONSE ID SLAVES APPEAL
Brown Resigns-Will Be Tried for RObbing the
 Dead

Anniston, April 5.-(speclal)-Tn prompt and generous response to the Stars ap- peal yesterday for leader to start the campaign for a barbecue for the ex- slaves, Mrs. Edmund Leighton Tyler has offered her services and will take irn- mediate steps to organize committees to start the work
 Mrs. Tyler, who will lead the move ment for the barbecue, has an old ex- sia working in her garden now. He
 is q typical Virginia darkey. and his s4 years are not so much a burden on him as q prediction that he will round out a century Of usefulness. Every one in the vicinity of The Pines" the Tyler estate, amateur gardeners envy him his rows of corn and beans and succulent lettuce.
 The old man was found by Mrs. Tyler alone in a mountain cabin about five years ago. He was then destitute, tired and ready to give up. He had fought the good fight and felt that he had lost. There was little to eat in the house; his roof was a mere make-shift, and the wind whistle through the crevices. It seemed to Uncle Jesse, alone there in the noun tains that the white folks had forgotten him in his age and extremity. But Mrs. 1 Tyler happened to come along and dis covered him and he has lacked nothing since then, nor does he ever tire of Singing the praises of his benefactress.

RESIGNATION REGRETTED

Local baseball fans today expressed keen regret to hear that Innis Brown, president of the Georgia Alabama league, had resigned. His resignation gave rise to the rumor that there would be no league this year, but this rumor Is ab- solutely without foundation. Nearly enough money has been raised in each of the cities that will have teams in the league to insure all expenses having been paid What little shortage exists in An niston is certain to be collected next week.
 meeting of the directors of the league will be called in the near future to elect q successor to President Brown. Un- til this election take place Gus Fite of Rome will be president.
 Wade Reynolds, manager of the local team, said today that he has called some of the signed players to come to Anniston Monday, and is writing to all the men from whom he has received ap- plications to be here on April g. As soon as he gets his men together he will put them into training, and there will be some try-out games played on the local grounds next week. Already he has ten- tative dates with the Preds.

Trading Lanquid With Ten dency to Higher Prices ill
 War Specialties

New York, April 5.-The consistent larity of prominent specialtes furnished the contrasting figures of today's languid market. Munitions, Mexicans, motors, oils and shipping shares were higher by 1 to ? points in the first hour with gerater gains in United States Industrial Alcohol and Cuban-American sugar.
 Much of this ground was lost later when rails offered almost the only relief to the increasing apathy.
 Canadian Pacific, St. Paul, Louisville and Nashville, Pennsylvania Reading, Chesapeak and Ohio and New Haven i'm proved from 1 to ? points, the inquiry being sufficiently broad to justify belief in an investment demand.
 Prices became more uneven in the later dealings, mainly in consequence of re- e newed pressure against crucible steel and other distinctive war stocks. 1t may have been only a coincidence, but the heaviness of these issues at that par ticular time came with the publication of fragmentary excerpts of the German chancellor's speech before the Reichtag.
 United States Steel and other standard z industrials moved in narrow limits, re-
 
 of forthcoming advance in the price s of rails. Although leading manufac- turers declined to make any definite statement, it is authoriatively known that the proposed advance in this inn portant product, the first in over 15 years-is likely to be as much as $5 a ton.
 Dealings in tn efinal hour were again enlivened by resumption of activity in mercantile marines, the automobile group and alcohol, the latter featuring that period with a maximum gain of 61a points to 1671a with an advance of 3ss for the preferred Cuban American made an ex- q treme gain of six at 2.26.

WHEAT PRICES TAKE
 DOWNWARD SWING
Market Cautious Pending U. s. Crop Report and
 Prices Decline

Chicago, April 5.-Wheat prices took d downward swing today after an early advance. A few reports of better field conditions caused by warmer weather, led to heavy realizing sales by holders. The market closed steady, but 1%@1%c to 2A@29sc net lower, with May at 1.1S14 d1 .1s9s, and July at $1.17@1 .171s. Corn lost Fs@%c to 7s91c and oats shade to %c. In provisions the outcome varied from 10c decline to a shade advance.
 Assertions of some improvement in the outlook for the winter crop came chiefly from Illinois, Missouri and Kansas. Such advices gave impetus to the reaction, which many traders regarded as only natural after the sharp upturns that reached a climax today in a general buy
 ing rush at the start. The fact that the United States government crop report will be issued on Friday tended further to make a number of owners cautious, and the bulls were also handicapped by the apparent absence of any urgent ex- port inquiry, at least for wheat grown
 in the United States.
 Official figures showing that 146, ,00O 900 bushels of the 1915 winter crop was unfit for milling had some influence early in lifting the value of wheat, but the ef- feet failed to last The result was much the same, too, in regard to a continuance of sensationally bad reports of damage in the winter belt this season. Word that Great Britain had agreed to furnish 30 vessels month to facilitate the move ment of exports from this country to France was too late to modify the sharp setback which the market had under gone.
 Corn gave way in sympathy with wheat. The market lacked any aggressive SUD- port In the oats crowd buying on the part of the houses with seaboard connec- l tions offset to some extent the weakness of other grain. A good share of the ! buying, though, was ascribed to the re- moval of hedges on Canadian ports. Packers selling turned provisions down. grade. Early gains, due to higher prices on hogs, were more than wiped out The late decline was accelerated somewhat by announcement of an increase in the stocks of meat on hand at the chief centers throughout the west.

STEADY UNDERTONE
 ON COTTON MARKET
Gables Poor and Reports of Rains in Texas Favored
 New Crop

New Orleans, April 5.-Favorable spot accounts and fear of a cold and wet April in the southwestern portion of the belt gave the cotton market a steady under
 tone today. There was a small depres- sion early in the session, but the market did not develop much selling power, and from the middle of the morning on
 showed an inclination to do better.
 In the early trading prices lost to points. Cables were poor and the light rains reported in Texas were generally considered favorable for the new crop. Private weather reports later, however,
 claim that temperatures were too low in the southwest and private forecasts of a cold and wet spring attracted atten- ton. The market gradually recovered, and late in the session sold up to a net advance of to 9 points. The close was to up.
 Telegrams from such points as Waco claimed a daily inquiry for spots from both domestic and foreign sources The claim was general that prices were being maintained.
