MARKET RISES AND
 THEN DROPS AGAIN
New High Record Made, but Close is 4 to 9 Points Under -Detailed Weather Report Considered Favorable.

New York, May 10.-The cotton market was active again today, but after making another set of new high records for the movement prices eased off under heavy realizing with July contracts selling down from 1919 to 12.92 and closing at 12.96. The general list closed barely steady at a net decline of 1 to 9 points.
 Liverpool did not fully meet yes terday's local advances and the open ing here was somewhat irregular with May 2 points lower while other months were unchanged to points higher. The market gradually worked off during the morning with July sell ing down from 1908 to 1900 and October from 1926 to 1917, or shade under last nights closing fig ures.
 The summary of the weekly wea- ther report stating that the crop was not getting a good start caused a sudden renewal of general and ag gressive buying around midday and losses were not only recovered, but the market sold into new high grounds with May touching 1904, October 1889 and December 1855. The de- mand soon tapered off, however, and the market became unsettled in the late trading on press advices from London to the effect that the allied governments would not consider peace proposals until Germany had been definitely defeated.
 The detailed weather report by states was considered rather more favorable than the summary, which may also have promoted the disposi- tion to take profits on long cotton and selling was general on the late break which carried May off to 12.S2 and October to 1915. The close was at practically the low point of the day.
 Cotton closed barely steady.

CHINESE SITUATION
 FILLED WITH DANGER
Has Refused to Turn Over Salt Revenues and Many Fright ened Chinamen Are Hastily Departing From Peking.

Tokyo, April 13-The Chinese ques- tion is increasingly the topic of the day in Japan. Visitors returning from Peking report that interest there is centered as much in what Japan will do as in what the revolutionists are accomplishing in the south. The refusal of Japan to hand over the salt revenue surplus to the govern ment of Yuan Shi Kai and the exodus of frightened Chinamen from Peking are considered here as evidences of the growing tenseness and danger of the Chinese situation.
 The opinion is generally expressed that the movement against Yuan Shi Kai is general so far that there is even a probability that he will be un- able to hold his office as president.
 The political groups hostile to the present Japanese government are not inactive. Takashi Hara, leader of the Seiyukai party, asserts the govern ment's Chinese policy is responsible for the present arrangement between the people of Japan and China and insists the only way out is for Premier Count Okuma and his fellow minis ters to get out of office The answer of the government to this is that there is no intention of interfering in China.
 Persistent reports are carried by the Japanese press that Russia would soon conclude an agreement with Japan recognizing Japan's special po- ston in China. There are no indica- tions at present, however, that the entente allies have granted Japan a free hand in dealing with China, as reported The peace policy of the entente powers is believed here to be very far-reaching and it is thought that at the conclusion of the present war an effort will be made to elimin- ate the Far East generally as a seat of possible future trouble.

AFFAIRS MEANS BRING.
 ING SENSATIONS
Owing to Bitter Feeling of Irish
 People Over Continued Exc cutiOns, Premier Asquith De- clares There Will be no More.

London, May 10.-Ireland provided number of sensations today. The first was the announcement of the resignation of Baron Wimbourne, lord lieutenant, which undoubtedly has been in Premier Asquith's hands for some time, acceptance being de- layed until normal conditions are restored in Ireland.
 The second was the appointment Iof commission headed by Lord Hardinge to investigate the causes of the Irish outbreak, third was the submission by the government of the south of the report that F. Shee- by Sheflington, editor of the Irish Citizen, and two other journalists had been executed in the Porto Bello Bar racks in Dublin without the knowl- edge of the military authorities and while martial law was actually in operation.
 The fourth was the granting of the veteran Dillon's demand for a special session of the house of commons to discuss the executions ih Ireland, and finally the issue of an important mani festo to the Irish people by John Red mond, strongly denouncing the rebel lious movement and eloquently ap- pealing to Ireland to stand fast by the constitutional movement and ob- tain some form of government.
 Of these by far the most sensation al was the revelation concerning Skeffington, which formed the climax of the fast growing resentment of the Irish people which has already given the government reason for pause and induced Premier Asquith to give an understanding that there will be nc more executions, pending the prom ised parliamentary discussion, al though there are two rebels still awaiting execution.
 Thus far the courtmartials have dealt with seventy-nine prisoners, of whom twelve have already been exc cuted. Five of the seven signatories of the proclamation of the Irish re- public have paid the penalty. Four rebels have been sentenced to life imprisonment, twenty-one to ten years, and forty-two to lesser terms

GERMANY IN NOTE
 ADMITS ITS LIABILITY
Germany Declares Submarine Commander Has Been Pun- ished and Indemnities Will be Paid Without Question.

Washington, May 10.-Germany, in note received by the state depart ment today by cable, admits that a German submarine torpedoed the Sussex in violation of assurances giv- en the United States, expresses re- gret fop the incident, announces that the submarine commander has been Appropriately punished" and de- clares readiness to pay adequate in- demnity to Americans injured.
 It was indicated at the state de- partment that the German statement that the offending commander had been punished would be accepted, and the Sussex case considered closed except for payment of indemnites for several citizens of the United States hurt
 Officials of the state department noted particularly the passage of the note which said: "ln view of these circumstances the German govern
  ances given the American government that passenger vessels were not to be attacked without warning, was not adhered to in the present case"
 This was regarded as indicating a purpose on Germany's part, to pay indemnities on Americans killed or injured in attacks on ships other than passenger liners prior to the date of the last note in which the German government promised that freight as well as passenger vessels, would not be attacked without warn ing or provision for the safety of per sons aboard. Any response to the note of today probably will make a distinct reservation of American rights on this point.
