JOHN F. CLARK & co. IS COTTON LETTER
NEW ORLEANS. June 19.-Liverpool was

in freight rates. Probably Liverpool may be

pectatio Of first effect Of the Mexican crisis
To be bearish well as the further liquidation

rallied promptly on a Washington forecast "
unsettled weather for the belt.
Opinion over the probable effect of the Mex.
lean situation is divided. Many believe thai
the first effect should be bearish, in of
Wall street might become affected on its
foreign loans, but ultimately war in south
west should turn out bullish for cotton. In
creased needs for the army and the probable
general neglect of field work will take place
owing TO interest in the war. So far, however,
only the militia has been called by the presI-
dent. Actual war may yet be avoided. If il
should come ready cotton and the old crop po-
sitions of July and August, should be bullishly
affected in preference to new crops.
The map shows fair in southwest, Texas,
Mississippi, Alabama and cloudy in rest Of
the belt; no rain except little in oklahoma
and north Florida. Indications are for partly
cloudy weather becoming unsettled over 0klahO-
ma. with rains likely over that state. Gener-
ally unsettled, rainy and cooler weather is liza
Crop reports are very good from Mississippi,
Louisiana and reports from Texas the re-
cent rains show that they were mostly consiu-
cred beneficial, but all express the wish for
dry weather indicating an apprehension OF

Cotton
(By Associated Press.)

NEW YORK June 19.-The cotton market
was rather nervous early today and while most
traders were inclined to believe that trouble
with Mexico would cause ultimately higher
prices, uncertainty as to the situation and the
outcome OF the present crisis doubtless served
to restrict general business. Liverpool did not
fully meet Saturdays local advance, and the
opening here was irregular, first prices being
points lower to 1 point higher. July was
relatively easy on the call. selling at 1888,
but the price soon rallied to 1915, while oc-
tober sold up from L. SO to 1892, or about 2
to 4 points net higher. Private cables said the
south was offering cotton little more freely
in Liverpool. tut southwestern spot firms were
credited with buying October around the local
ring.
The forecast for showers in parts of the
eastern belt considered rather Hnfavorable,
and there was some southern covering during
the middle of the morning with October sell
ing IN 1924 and December TO 1902 to
points net higher General business remained
very quiet however. and prices later ossed off
a point or two from the best under realizing.
Prices showed little further change and the
market was quiet during the middle Of the aft
ernoon with October ruling around 1892. and
December at 1907, abOunt to points net
higher.

CHICAGO. June 19.-War moves in regard to
Mexico quickly brought about higher prices to-
day for breadstuffs. Wheat the first sta
pie to rise in value. Considerable excitement
was manifested at the opening of business when
the fact became evident that the market was
bare of offers, notwithstanding that aside from
the Mexican situation heavy selling would have
been generally expected. Initial prices, which
ranged from unchanged figures to ~ higher
with july at 81. OOss to LOIS and September
at Los to $1.O4 were followed by substan-
tal general advance
Houses with seaboard connections were con-
spicuous buyers of wheat and were said TO at

purchasing. Quotations closed strong, rs "a q

and September at 1.04&.
Corn turned upward with wheat. The prin-
cipal feature was the scarcity of sellers. After

to keep the corn market on the upgrade and

tfonal artistic, in the celebrated title
role, is one of the greatest dramatic
achievements yet contributed to the
screen. The marvellous sympathy and
mastery with which Miss Frederick
has interpreted the emotions and the
complex character of the Paris music
hall singer is lasting monument to
her amazing histrionic powers. "zaza"
is one of the few greatest stage roles
ever created, and Miss Frederick's
rendition of the characterization, to-
gether with the sumptuous produc-
tion given the subject by the Famous
Players Film company, will make
this great photoplay one Of the fore
most triumphs of the screen.
This five reel production will be
shown tonight only at the star.

STOCKHOLM, March 10.-Henry
Ford's pernAht peace tribunal in
session here win get in Sweden all
the help Sweden can give. This aid
viii not be official. but undoubtedly
it will come from centain official as
y ell as unofficial sources. The Swedes
being pro-German and convinced that
Germany wants peace, would like to
see the Ford movement succeed, al
though best informed Swedes do not
believe it has any chance. Their
sympathies make them lend it aid;
their skepticism prevents official ap-
proval of the movement.
Incidentally. Stockholm Is friendly
to the tribunal because it is spending
approximately. $4,000 weekly here.
Except that they have delegates pres
ent who are well paid and supported
in handsome style. Norway and Den
mark regard the tribunal with strong
disfavor. The Dutch are afraid the
movement may do actual harm
Switzerland and Spain have never
been heard from.
With Ford's money to support it
Indications are that the tribunal may
linger in Stockholm indefinitely
Stockholm hopes. for financial reas.
ons. that 1t may do SO. but nobody
has any idea that 1t will accomplish
anything.
