COTTON ADVANCES
AS SHORTS COVER
Strength in Liverpool Resulting
from Freight Difficulties
a Factor.

The cotton market was very quiet
yesterday and fluctuations we're ir-
regular within range OF some 7 or
3 points March contracts sold a.
1857 early and after easing OF 70
1880 closed at 1852 The general
list closed steady at a net advance OF
3 20 10 points, with the active old
crop months ruling about 20 s points
above Saturdays final figures.
Strength in Liverpool seemed 20 en-
phasize the difficulties Of the expor.
situation rather than 10 create bull
ish sentiment around the local ring
The market opened % points
higher, but this was only partial
response 70 the higher cables, and
prices soon eased Off under scattered
realizing and Wall Street selling. Liv-
erpool bought some cotton on a scale
down, but there was very little de
mand and the active positions worked
back 20 within 3 or 4 points OF Sat
urdsy's final figures Covering caused
slight rallies later and last prices were
2 or 3 points up from the lowest, with
new crop deliveries relatively steady.
Possibly the talk Of more stringent
blockade Of Central European coun-
tries by the Allied powers helped 70
restrict the early response 20 Liver
pool. IL seemed the more general i'm
preston around the ring, however, that
action Of this sort could hardly place
eny further restriction upon The ex-
port movement Of cotton. ss u is be-
ieyed that the scandinavian coun-
tries az present are securing barely
sufficient 20 meet their home require

Southern spot markets have re
NAMED steady, and at the close yes
terday were all unchanged with a
moderate volume Of business. Ex-
ports yesterday were 1864 bales,
making 2,558.797 20 far this year,

sistant, the Rev. H. Percy Silver, a
/ former chaplain of the United States
army and now chaplain at West Point,
was elected by big majority. How
ever the house of bishops refused to
confirm his election. Two years ago
the special election cam to a dead
lock as the result of the determined
followings of several strong candi-
dates.
Silver's letter of Endorsement of
Wise was undoubtedly a prominent
factor in his election, for previous to
the making of nominations the name
of Rev. Wise had not received mucn
discussion. The Rev. Wise was nomi-
mated by the Rev. r. A. Mize of Kan
saS City Kan, who in his nominating
speech read Silver's letter.
Silver was without doubt the most
popular rector in the diocese and his
following among the laity was still in
tact.
The election is regarded as a victory
for the 1aity as the Rev. Percy T. Fem
of Wichita, was unquestionably the
choice of the clergy receiving on the
second ballot a nominating strength
from their house. Wise on the third
ballot gained a nominating strength
from the laity. Gradually the fight
narrowed to the two men, Wise main
+, low
majority and by the seventh ballot had
succeeded in decreasing Fenn's ma
jority among the clergy from fifteen
down to eleven and increasing his vote
in that house from six to the neces-
sary fourteen out of the twenty-six
votes of the clergy. Following the an
nouncement of the result of the last
ballot the Rev. Fem arose and moved
that the nomination be made unan-
imous.
Nine other candidates were nomin-
ated. One of the first nominees was
the Rev. George NJ. Geise1, canon of
Grace cathedral, who was placed in
nomination by John Stone, rector at
Wamego. The Rev. Percy T. Fem
was nominated by DIR. Davis of Ga
lena. The Rev. Wise was named by
Rev. r. A. MiZe of Kansas City. Other
nominees were: The Rev. Robert Mel
son Spencer of Trinity church, of Kan
sas City, Mo-; the Rev. E. H. Eche1 of
Warrensburg, Mo-, secretary of the
southwest Missionary department.: the
Rev. A. K. Kramer. of Fairbault.
Mimi, warden of Seabur Divinity
school; the Rev. Evan S. Edwards of
Lawrence; the Rev. c. c. Rollett, sec
rotary of the sixth provincial district:
Bishop Theodore Thurston of the
eastern district of Oklahoma.
Bishop Millspaugh was presented
with a huge basket of roses by the
convention.
