Lieutenant Bereth at once got III touch
with the Commercial club and notified
them of the promised action OF Col

Secretary Mclaughlin stated that the
matter would he taken up with the
band committee at the earliest possible
moment and an effort made to keep

Misunderstood Oath.
Many Of the band members seem to
misunderstood the provisions of the
federal oath and this may explain in
part their refusal to be sworn as mem
hers of the military power of the Uni
ted States. While many OF them feel
they would assume burdensOme obll-
cations if the oath were taken. 1t
would in reality be a benefit. Under

COTTON MARKET.
NEW YORK.

NEW YORK. April 1.-The cotton
market opened steady at decline of
to points today. This was by no means
full response to relatively easy cables,
and prices sold off another = or points
right after the call, with May declin-
ing to 11.S9. July to 1903 and October
to 12.21. Liverpool was again a seller
OF January contracts here, while there
was scattering liquidation by some of
Yesterdays buyers, but the offerings
We're not heavy and prices steadied at
the decline on covering and a little
support from trade sources.
Overnight advices from the south in
dicated generally steady spot markets.
and private cables said the decline in
Liverpool had been in sympathy with
an easier market for Egyptian.
Futures opened steady; May. 1190;
July, 12.0G: October. 1223; December,
12.4O: January. 12.43
Trade interests were buyers of May
at is points under July. and offerings
were lighter after the close of Liver
pool. with prices here working back TO
within point or two of last nights
closing figures during the middle of
the morning. This advance carried May
contracts up to 1l.9o July to 12.OS and
October to 1925, but demand then
slackened, and the market was 3 or
points off from the best shortly after
midday.
Evening star., 1916-04-07
Increased Bear Pressure.

The weakness developed before the
session had advanced beyond the first
hour continued without cessation other
than for a partial recovery of small
fractions right through the second,
third and fourth hours.
Finding the market to their liking.
the bears exerted Increased pressure,
and, as there was absolutely no sup
port offered by big interests. the de-
clining trend went unchecked until
losses of / 10 points We're recorded
i'll the induStrials and probably about
one half point in the rails.
Steel common dropped back i point.
Crucible Steel. Mexican Petroleum and
a number of industrials points. while
Mercantile Marine lost points.
While it is possible that the diplo-
matte outlook between the United
States and Germany may have been
responsible. it appears as if the mar
ket were just following and repeating
its action for weeks past. developing
weakness on every three or four days
of recovering prices with d view of
making profits on the short side for
the big traders and of permitting them
to get in again at lower figures for d
repetition of the operation.
Buying on weakness and selling On
the rallieS-and they certainly sold
them today.

LONDON MARKET IS STEADIER
Renewed Demand for Gilt. Edged Sc
curities at Hardening Prices.

LONDON. April Money was tighter
today. owing to heavy purchases of
treasury bills. Discount rates were
steady. The feature of the exchange
market is the continued strength Of
French cheques and weakness in Scan
dfnavian rates. The latter are affected
by the embargo on gold imports which
is sitting exchange transactions and
reviying the old custom of barter, as
imported goods are evidently wanted in
preference to gold.
The stock market developed a
steadier tendency on a renewed demand
for gilt-edged securities at hardening
prices The French loan was q fea-
ture and tin shares received attention,
but Argentine rails were weak, owing
to poor crop estimates.
American securities were a shade
more active. Pennsylvania and Union
Pacific were the most frequently mark
ed. The closing was steady.
