The Gales are quiet folk. who care
very little for society: but they have a
lovely hospitable home In s street not
far from the Aleshires, and Mrs. Hili
lives with them.
She is winsome little person. with
dark hair and Irish blue eyes and looks
absurdly young to be the mother OF
two big Riddles. The boy IL called Gale
for his mothers people and the little
girl Is Beatrice.
Both Captain Mclean and Mrs. Hill

Miss Adams had a big bridge party
one day last week for the benefit Of
the Surgical Dressings Committee. in

the North Shore have been interested

into bandages and dressings. Next
evening she was hostess at bridge

PRICES FLUCTUATE
 ON COTTON MARKET
Market Disposed to Await Further Developments in
 Mexican Situation

New York. June 19.-Uncertainty as to the Mexican situation restricted busi ness in the cotton market today and fluc- tuations were comparatively narrow and irregular After selling at 12.ssc early October contracts advanced to 12.94c, re- acted to 12S7c and closed at 12.92c with the general list closing steady at 8 net advance of to 4 points.
 The market opened steady at a decline of points to an advance of 1 point with near months relatively easy in response to somewhat disappointing cables Liver pool was a buyer here, however. while offerings were light and prices soon steadied on the forecast for further showers in the Caroiinas and Georgia, with active months selling about to $ points net higher toward the end of the morning. This advance carried July con- tracts up to 12.77c and December to B .09c, but the buying seemed to be mostly in the way of covering, and prices turned easier during the early afternoon under scattered realizing or liquidation which may have been promoted by weakness in the stock market. July sold off to 12.73c and December to 13.01c, or about 4 to 8 points from the high level of the morning, but offerings tapered off on the decline, and closing prices were some 8 to points up from the lowest. The opinion most generally expressed around the ring was that shouli war develop from the present situation in Mexico, it would be more bullsh than otherwise on cotton, on the ground that it would stim-
 ulate the demand for heavy weight goods and might reduce the supply of available field labor in the south. There was conflict of opinion to the more immediate effect of such development, however, and the small volume of busi- ness was supposed to reflect a disposi- tion to await further news. Except for the early Liverpool buying and scattering western liquidation later in the day, trad ing was chiefly local. The continued low temperature in parts of the eastern and central belts attracted some attention, but in the international situation was the chief feature discussed around the ring.

LIQUIDATION 0F
 MEXICAN SHARES
Wall Street Shows Concern Over Fresh Complications
 in Mexican Situation

New York, June 19.--AI lother con- alterations and conditions were for gotten by Wall stret today in the un- mistable concern manifest over fresh complications in the Mexican situation. The financial community was not en- tirely unprepared for the attitude of the federal government, however, as last Saturdays reports from Washing ton appeared to forecast the subsequent developments
 Mexican shares naturally bore the brunt of the liquidation, which began at the outset and proceeded with great CT force and breadth to the close. Mex ican petroleum and Texas company yielded 6A and points, respectively, with 2 points for California petroleum preferred, while United States Smelting at it's lowest was down A points, with points more for American Smelling, Greene Cananea Copper and Southern Pacific.
 Munitions particularly Crucible Steel, American and Baldwin Locomotive, to- gether with coppers and other metals, receded 2. and even 6 points. Rela- lively, United States Steel gave the best account of any prominent issue, its extreme loss being only ss points. Among rails, the shrinkage in quoted values was so general as to make de- tailed reference unnecessary.
 Total sales of stocks amounted to 7S5,000 shares.
 Western railway centers reported an increase of to 12 per cent in tonnage over the corresponding period of last year, though slightly under the pre- ceding week.
 The only material change in foreign exchange was the yielding tendency to marks, sterling and francs holding firm.
 Bonds felt the effect of the weakness in shares, speculative issues making variable concessions Total sales Of bonds, par value, were $2,S25,000.
 United States 2s and 3s were A per cent lower. the Panama 2s %, and the 3s 2 points down on call.

Ayery's Letter

For want of something better the bears today seized on the Mexican trou- rlc as an excuse for selling but evil dently thought better of 4 after di- gcsting the probable result of the mob liking of the militia. Prices quickly re- covered the slight losses and the close was around Saturdays final figures
 Freight rates from New Orleans to Liverpool were reported to have been reduced to $1.50 as against $1.s5 last " eek. Even this bullish item Is given d tearish construction. The bears argu- rient being the reason Tor the reduc- tion is that there is no demand for the ship room. As against this, ! would refer them to the exports. which for tho day totaled 22,000 bales
 Crop reports were not so good. cont plaints of too much rain, grassy fields ard boil weevil being numerous.

 The market will likely remain in a trading position until after notice day.

WAR RUMORS SEND
 WHEAT PRICES UP Dealers Take View That HostiIities Will Tighten
 Wheat Values

Chicago. June 19.-Prospect of war with Mexico brought about a decided upturn today throughout the entire list of grain and provisions. Wheat closed strong. IFS 01%c to Pc net, with July at s1.02$s and September at $1.04% Corn showed an advance of 1Ml isc to IF @1Mc. oats 7s O a e to 7sc and pro- visions 15d17c to soc.
 Trade in wheat was on large scale and was said to include much buying on foreign account At the outset, the market was virtually bare of offers to sell, and attention was centered almost wholly upon the question of what ef- feet on prices would result from the sweeping orders to send the militia to
 the Mexican border. The majority of dealers took the view that in regard to foodstuffs war meant waste and that implied hostilities, also arrangements for huge emergency supplies with con seuuent tightening of values. Specula- tors who inclined to an opposite opinion and who sold on the bulges caused sev-
 eral reactions, but only to see the mar ket ascend again as soon as selling was over.
 Wet weather delays to harvesting in the winter crop belt acted as a further handicap to the bears in wheat. Ad- vices from southern Illinois gave spe- | cial emphasis to this aspect of the sit uation and at the same time there were unfavorable crop advices from the spring wheat region. In consequence closing quotations were almost the highest point of the day.
 ] Corn quickly showed sympathy with 1 the wheat advance. Besides wet weath- | CT predictions tended to lift the mar ket and so did export sales. Oats mani fested little hesitation at first owing | to the fine crop outlook. Later. how ever, the likelihood of increased do- mestic demand for war purposes gave
 an advantage to the bulls. In addition there were reported sales of 1,10O,00l bushels to Europe.
