here that Abraham Lincoln enjoyed about the only real boyhood he ever knew, for with the removal of the Lincoln family to Indiana, many of the burdens of manhood were thrust upon the childish shoulders.
 The farm remained in the hands of the family of the first purchaser for about seventy-five years, until it was bought by A. w. Dennett, who intend ed to convert it into q public park. This became impossible because of financial reVerses, and It was because of these reverses that the farm was ordered sold, the proceeds to, go to MT. Dennett's creditors.
 From the time Thomas Lincoln re- moved to Indiana, from which state he later removed to Illinois, the farm had declined and presented for many

COTTON MARKET.
NEW YORK.

NEW YORK, April 5.-There was a
further decline at the opening of the
cotton market today owing to rela-
lively easy cables and a renewal of
scattering near-month liquidation.
First prices were to points under
last nights closing figures, with May
selling down to Hi, July to 1871 and
October to 1904, but sellers of near
months were buyers of later deliveries.
while there also appeared to be some
trade buying of May, and the marke ct
steadieu during the early trading, with
prices working up or points from
the lowest.
General business was very quiet Pri-
vate cables reported a general want of
confidence in Liverpool. and attributed
the decline to scattering liquidation by
disappointed bull operators in market
for both Egyptian and American cotton.
Futures opened steady: May, 1179;

BUDGET IS EXCHANGE TOPIC.
Higher Income Tax, However
Causes Favorite Stocks to Sag,

LONDON. April 5,A1The budget was the
chief topic of the stock exchange to-
day. and the general agreement was
that the imposts are well arranged
The increased income tax, it is feared,
will reduce investment buying, and
this caused gilt-edged securities, con-
soils, the French loan and other issues
to sag, while the railway ticket tax
eased home rails.
The declines, however. were moder-
ate. Recent speculative favorites also
declined, but oil shares and Brazil
ian fractions were strong and cities
service stock was a feature at 1913, a
gain of 10 points.
American securities were neglected
after a fractiona1ly higher opening in
sympathy with New York.
Money was in better supply through
government disbursements. Discount
rates were quiet.

UNFIT WHEAT FIGURES
SHOW GREAT VARIANCE

Wheat of the 1915 crop UNIT for mill
ing is estimated at 146,0Oo,00O bushels
as result of inquiry made blythe De-
nartment of Agriculture from flour
mills and grain elevators. Inc repiie"
were so variable as to make accurate
deductions impossible, and any esu-
mate debatable without conslderaoie
qualification. On these replies the aE-
craze worked out 14.4 per cent as the
wheat unfit for milling, and as per

SHARP REACTION FOLLOWS
RISE ON EARLY BUYING
General Rally Later, Damage Re
ports Being Chief Incentive for
Continued Purchasing.

CHICAGO. April Brushes to buy
carried wheat today decidedly higher.
but profit taking by holders led to
sharp reaction, which, however, failed
to last. The chief incentive fer pur-
chasing continued to be sensational
damage reports regarding the domestic
winter crop. According to one expert
ideal weather would be needed to pre-
vent the yield this season proving
repetition of the failure of 1912.
Opening prices, which ranged from
the same as Mondays finish to q
higher, with May at 1.201a to III q
and July 1.191a to 1.19S. were followed
by decline of cents from initial top
figures. and then by general rally
Corn Swaps With Wheat.
Corn swayed with wheat. Trade was
light. After opening a shade to Aa%
higher the market hardened little
and then sagged. but later recovered.
Oats paralleled the action of other
grain Buyers were in majority.
Higher prices on hogs lifted provi-
sions. Brokers representing packers
led the demand.
Decided wheat downturns took place
later Influenced by a few reports OF
better field conditions caused by warm
er weather. Absence of any urgent ex-
port inquiry tended also to lower the
market. Prices closed steady, Ia
rs to 2Aa2A net lower. with May at
1.18Aa1.1Sas and July at 1.11a1.17B:
In subsequent transactions corn de-
clnes were shown as result of weak
ness that developed in the wheat mar
ket. The close was steady at a loss OF

that interest payments to nonresident
aliens are subject to the provisions of
