franchise is liable to be granted to a
company coming into town from the
south now at almost any time.
Provides for Two Tracks.
For this reason, Mueller explained
that he had provided for two car
tracks. The bridge will be supported
by three main spans with four small
arches at the west end and three at
the east end The top of the bridge
will be eighty.three feet from the
water level.
The entire structure will be made OF
cement and stone construction work.
In case the county council wishes to
cut down the appropriation, the plans
can be easily reduced.
Mueller is under the same kind OF
contract to make the plans and
specifications for the Main street
bridge. In many particulars it will
resemble the structure at South G

Ayery's Letter

While the cotton market stood the fear and pessimism which pervaded all other markets better than was expected. still if the political conditions do not improve it would not be unlikely that cotton will follow the others and another break could easily be brought about. If the Germans should take Verdun it is easy to see how that success would influence their attitude in the settlement of the matters in dispute with the United States and in the event of that happening there would be wholesale dumping of contracts.
 I am satisfied beyond preadventure that cotton prices are at an investment basis and as such we should find in- vestment buying at this level. This is the logical reasoning, but when everybody be- comes obsessed with fear, logic plays no part whatever in the attitude of either sreculator or investor, The attitude of mind is that of the person who throws his china out of the window and carries his feather bed downstairs when his house is on fire.
 I am not much of an alarmist and be- lieve we will ultimately work our way clear of all foreign disputes and even should the worst happen l believe after the first panic was over prices would go up, as it is inconceivable that we could invade or be invaded by any power under the circumstances. Furthermore, should Germany be the country we were to have the trouble with, would we not start off with a good sized merchant ma rine made to order as it were. and could not these ships that are lying idle be used to carry cotton? I have ony tried to outline what might happen during the first burst of unreasoning liquidation and under the circumstances the better part Of wisdom seems to be to stay out of the market. c. F. AVERY.

COTTON MARKET
 IS VERY NERVOUS
Reports of Better Spot De mand in the South Have
 Steadying Influence

New York, February 29-The cotton market was extremely nervous and ir- regular today as indicated by the course of May contracts which after selling at 11,s5c at the opening. broke to 11.95c, ral- lied to 1l.s9c and closed at 11.52e. The general list closed steady. net i point lower to 3 points higher
 Liverpool was a shade better than due, which was probably a surprise to some of Saturdays late sellers, and the market here opened steady at an advance of : points to decline of points. Demand was not particularly active at the start. however and the market soon eased off in sympathy with a break in New Or leans and under southern selling The apprehension appeared to be that the heaviness in the New Orleans market represented hedge selling by interior hold CTS. and some of the early buyers here seemed to be selling out their cotton on the decline which carried July con- tracts off to 11.44c and October to il. 65c. or about to z points net lower on the more active position Liverpool was a big buyer on this decline which carried July and later deliveries into new low ground for the movement without un- covering any stop orders of consequence, and the market rallied later on reports of 8 better spot demand in the south.
 New Orleans was slow to improve, but the southern selling here was less &C., tive after the early break, and the market here worked up to 11.59c for July and HIT for October or about 5 to s points above Saturdays closing figures. Trade interests were moderate buyers on the advance, and it was reported that there was some buying by bag manufac- turers who were being forced to sub stitute cotton for burlaps as a hedge against forward business. This helped the rally, and while later fluctuations were nervous and irregular owing partly to the unsettled ruling of the stock mar ket, the undertone was fairly steady at the close, with July quoted at II 52c and October at 1171v. March was re- latively quiet and steady during the en- tire day.

FRESH COLLAPSE
 IN WHEAT PRICES
Market Declines on Ger many's Refusal to Alter
 Submarine Plans

Chicago, February 2S.-Germany's re- fusal to alter or delay the plan to at tack without warning any armed ships of her enemies brought about a fresh collapse today in the value of wheat Prices fell cents bushel and closed excited at f1s cents net decline, with May at s1.0s and July at s1064 Corn lost Sls to S5s, and oats 1iS to 1Esd1s4. Provisions closed unchanged to S5 cents lower.
 Throwing away holdings of wheat be- gan almost as soon as the market opened. The news at hand seemed to make virtually certain the outlook that the German answer to the United States would be decided negative. 1t was not, however, until after announcement of Ambassador Bernstorff having actually delivered such a reply that the selling in the wheat market broadened out to the fullest extent. Tn consequence dur ing the last hour of the session the downward plunges of values were espe- cially violent and the rallies more and more lacking in force.
 Some of the strongest interests in the wheat trade attempted to stem at the outset the downward course of the mar ket. Crop damage reports were said to
  that export demand for American wheat had improved, but the majority of deal CTS were apparently oblivious to any or dinary developments in favor of the bull side, despite losses of 19 cents a bushel since the beginning of last week. Asser- tions that additional German raiders were already on the Atlantic and in position to cause serious disturbance to commerce counted somewhat effectually against efforts to turn prices upgrade
 Corn suffered a heavy setback with wheat. The fact that receipts here were small failed to act as a check
 Oats were partly sustained by a mod crate shipping demand. Besides, there were reports that farmers ard country elevators in Illinois and Indiana appeared to be holding back supplies.
 Pork and ribs gave way with cereals but lard remained firm. Exports of lard increased 100000 pounds and bacon 14,- 0Oo,OoO pounds as compared with year ago.
