Unconsciously she surrounded her recital
with loneliness. This gray haired woman Of
about sixty years of age, whose husband had

her and her neighbors, carried so much suf-

so much should be read lightly as one more

JOINT FUNERAL IS
 HELD FOR SISTERS

Troy, January 27.-(Special )-W ednesday the people of Troy were saddened by the deaths of two beloved ladies, Mrs. Anna Gardner and Mrs. Belle Gardner. These two lovable women were sisters who had lived together for long number of years
 and were unusually devoted to each other. Mrs. Anna Gardner died in the morn ing and Mrs Belle Gardner in the aft ernoon.
 Both were from the noted Starke fam fly of Virginia. Mrs. Anna Gardner, the elder, was the widow of Benjamin Gard ner and lived in Texas for sometime. Her ony son, Judge Boiling Gardner, died in Palestine some years ago and since she had made her home here. She is also survived by stepdaughter, Mrs. w. H.. Clarke.
 Mrs. Belle Gardner was the widow of J. Bibb Gardner of this city and is sur vived by four children, Mrs. Henry Opp of Opp, Mrs. N. R. Crozer of Dallas. Tex, Miss Catherine Gardner of this city, and Judge Lucien D. Gardner of Mont gomery.
 The joint funeral took place yesterday afternoon at the Methodist church, be- ing conducted by Dr. Threadglll of that church, of which both had been loyal members for a long number of years.

DECATUR

Decatur January 27. - (Special) About 400 Shrlners, mostly from Blr- mingham, paraded the streets of the De- catures at noon today.

SHARP BREAK IN
 COTTON MARKET
Slight Rally Was Met By Increased Offerings and
 Prices Dropped

New York, January 27-There was a sharp break in the cotton market here today, under more or less general sell ing, with July contracts touching 12Ac or the lowest price reached since the pub lcation of the government crop estimate early last month. That delivery closed at 12.25c, with the general list closing steady at net loss of 15 to 23 points for the day.
 Liverpool just about met yesterdays s local decline and the market here opened to points lower under foreign, south ern and local selling. Some of the Wall street interests who had been credited with selling freely earlier in the week were buyers on the decline and there was considerable demand from domestic trade interests who were supposed to be fixing prices for spinners. After selling early, Liverpool also became moder- ate buyer of May and July contracts, and the demand was sufficient to cause slight rallies from time to time during the day. Each bulge. however, met in- creased offerings, and the general ten dency of the market was downward, with March selling off to 11.S7c, May to 12.llc and October to 12.25c in the last trading. These prices reflected a decline of about 75 points from the recent high level on the active old crop positions while Oc- tober sold 52 points under the best prices reached on the advance earlier in the month Closing prices were within a point or two of the lowest.
 Southern spot advices were conflicting, some of the private wires received claim ing that holders were paying no attention to the decline in futures and that little or no cotton was offering, while others said that holders were becoming uneasy and that spots might be forced on the market should futures break further. These latter advices probably stimu- lated the local selling movement. No change was reported in the ocean freight situation and the unsettled ruling of the stock market probably added to the con- firmation of sentiment.

VIOLENT CHANGES
 IN WHEAT PRICES
Reports of Reselling Lift Wheat Prices With
 Big Sales

Chicago, January 27.-Serious danger of
 extensive winter killing lifted the wheat
 market today in the face of reports that
 foreigners were reselling. The outcome was a steady close, 5sG%c to 12sc net higher with May at 1.S67sG1.37 and July at S1 .275s. Corn gained Ac to z@asc, oats finished unchanged and provisions at a
 rise of SC to 271zc. Violent changes in price, accompanied by an immense trade, kept the wheat pit lively throughout the session. During advantage, owing largely to assertions that holders and especially Europeans were disposed to anticipate possible re- duction in vessel rates as result of some direct but as yet undefned action by the British government. Forecasts. nevertheless. were for light shipments from Argentina, and it was acknowledged that transatlantic stocks were inade- quate.
 Reactions in favor of the bulls came chiefly after the issuance of reports that the domestic winter wheat territory was
 bare of snow, badly water-logged and otherWlSe m no condition to withstand severe weather.
 Expectations in the spring wheat re- zion were for a marked decrease of ar rivals.
 | Unsettled colder weather and the re- moval of an embargo against shipments 1 to Baltimore put firmness into corn The market was noticeably affected by tenn porary breaks in the price of wheat Oats closed on rally, but strength was i'm paired by reports that Argentine oats at Liverpool were being sold cheaper than cargoes from the United States Provisions kept pace with hogs, opening lower, but scoring an advance later The
 upturn was helped somewhat by the final 1 bulge in grain.

COTTON DEPRESSED
 A DOLLAR A BALE
Small Export Movement Widens Decline and Mar
 ket Closes At Net Loss

New Orleans, January 27.-The selling movement in the cotton market here to- day gained added headway and prices were depressed over s1 bale Little support was offered at any time. and most of what buying was done appeared to come from shorts who wanted to real ize profits. Selling, according to the mar lSet comment was about equally divided between the two accounts. Bear trad CTS attacked the market vigorously and succeeded in catching s,op loss orders on a large scale on the long side.
 In the early trading prices lost about 10 points on inactive market. The under tone was easy from the opening. Cables were lower than due, and much talk about increased acreage this coming spring was heard. The very small export movement also came in for bearish com nent, foreign clearances for the day be- ing only 516 bales. By noon the decline was widened 13 to 19 points, and in the afternoon the market stnl felt continued selling in spite of the fact that spots were quoted steady and unchanges. The close was at the lowest of the session, a net loss of 20 to 23 points.
