be in the market after such drastic de- clines.
 The cause of today's break was the long cotton by Shearson. said to be for western interests I suppose by western interests Chicago is meant. After this selling had been absorbed, the market reacted to yesterdays close and had a strong undertone.
 The weekend figures, according to my analysis, are as follows:
 Carry-over from 1914 crop 5000. .000 of which there was in Europe 400, 900, leav- ing a net carry-over in America of 3,600, 0O0. Growth of 1915, 100000, making the total supply of American cotton IA 4,6l0 900. Consumption of American to date, S,7OO,- 000 leaving visible and invisible supply 5,900,O00 Rate of consumption in January. 1,091,5 800 (census figures). If consumption averages 300,000 per month for five months or until the end of July the total for this period should be 100000, which de- ducted from 5,s00.OO0. leaves 1,sO0,0OO In figuring on the probable monthly consumption, it will be seen have made my figures nearly 300OO0 less per month than the January total, and it should be reasonable to suppose the exports should increase rather than decrease, as the ex- port facilities could hardly be worse than at present.
 Prices were sent today into new low ground that leaves but very small mar gin over the cost of production. In view of this fact have no hesitancy in saving
 prices have seen the bottom, and confi-
 dently recommend purcnases at these
 levels. c. F. AVERY.

FLUCTUATE
 . ON COTTON MARKET
International Political Sit uatiOn Affects Price to Ex-
 clusiOn of Other Features

New Orleans February 25-Gossip and rumors concerning the international po- litical situation furnished the influences which moved prices in the local cotton market today to the exclusion of other factors. It was an active session and a large business was done on broad fluc- uations, but little consideration was given anything but dispatches from Washing ton. At the highest of the day prices were to points over yesterday s last quotations; at the lowest they were 12 to r points under. The close was at a net loss of 3 to points.
 The market opened at the decline in sympathy with poor cables and around the first call fell off ? to points This was followed by a recovery due to the heavy demand from shorts who wanted their profits and the market went to the best of the day. Toward noon many tele- grams came from New York and Wash ington, bearing on international politics, and they carried the report that Cong gress would support the administration. This was considered bearish and under heavy selling prices fell off rapidly, reaching the lowest of the day in short time. In the afternoon the market recovered, reaching almost yesterdays level.

SLOW RECOVERY ON
 STOCK EXCHANGE
Market Regains Much Lost Ground as General Situa-
 tiOn Changes for Better

New York, February 25.-slowly, but stubbornly. today's market proceeded to recover much of the ground lost in the preceding session, when quoted values suffered variable declines because of alarm over political developments in Washington. That situation underwent a change for the better, especially when it was reported that Germany probably would hesitate to inaugurate it's latest submarine policy on the day originally decreed
 Absence of pressure upon Anglo French bonds which helped materially to weaken yesterdays market was an- other favorable factor Trading in that issue was comparatively nominal, giv- ing color to the belief that the activity and depression of the previous day were largely of professional or bearish origin.
 Yet another encouraging feature was found in the moderate but confident buy ing of rails, branch of the stock list which has long suffered from neglect. Coalers led the movement, presumably in consequence of the increasing belief that prevailing differences between miners and SiiPiOSSfS are III prOceSS oI duJuStIneHI.
 American Smelling more than regained it's quarterly dividend of 1 per cent. War issues, petroleums, Marine preferred, United Fruit and sugars were better by 1 to points after an early period of vacilation.
 Trading was in small volume through out the last half of the session, but prices held their own despite occasional pres- sure. Activity in Pacific mail, which rose 51s points to 231s, was the feature of that period
 Atchison was the only important road to submit January statement, showing net gain of $1S2,0OO Industrial com panies made more favorable reports.
 Bonds were mainly irregular on reduced dealings. Total sales, par value, were g, 2,SO0,0O0
 United States bonds were unchanged on call.

MARKET
 BREAKS SHARPLY
Prices Steadied by More Optimistic View of Ocean
 Freight Situation

New York, February 25.-There was an- other sharp break in the cotton market here today under heavy western and southern selling with May contracts de- clining to 11.26c, or 14 points under last nights final figures. Offerings became less active after this break and trad ing was comparatively quiet later in the day, with May closing at 11.S4c. The general list closed steady at a net de- cline of to points.
 The market showed rather a steadier tone at the start. Cables were slightly lower than due, but after opening points lower to point higher, the market here worked about 3 to ' points. above last nights close on covering. Liverpool buy ing and a moderate demand from reac- tionists. Reports that another of the big ocean steamers had been released from the service. of the British admiralty and would return to the trade between Liv- erpool and New York seemed to encour- age rather a more optimistic view of the ocean freight situation, and there was evidently less nervousness over interna- tional politics Nevertheless offerings in- creased on the very moderate rally of
 
 level and the pressure became more ac- tive and aggressive as prices worked lower Much of the selling came from western sources, and was supposed to represent liquidation of long contracts by grain interests, while apprehensions that the southern selling here represented hedging against actual were probably in- creased by rumors that spots were being offered to Boston at concessions. At any rate, many early buyers liquidated and for time the market was extremely nervous and unsettled. May contracts sold off from Il 44c, the high point of the morning, to Ii .26c, while July broke from 11.64c to 11.4Sc, and October from Il S3c to 1.6Sc, or about Il to IA points below last nights closing figures. Offerings seemed to have been pretty well absorbed by the time prices reached this level and prices later rallied or points from the lowest on covering and some buying for a reaction.

Quite a pretty home wedding was sol- emnized on Wednesday evening at the home of Dr. and Mrs. J. F. Jenkins in Opelika, when Mrs. Jenkins sister, Miss Edna Natalie Jones of Camden, became the bride of MT. Martin J. Lide of Bir-
 mingham, in the presence of the rela- tives and few friends, says the Opelika News.
 Delft fingers had converted this cozy home into fairy land of flowers, the I bridal tones. green and white, were clev- erly carried out by the lavish use of
 smilaX. palms, ferns, white roses and white carnations. Graceful sprays of sni- lax studded with white roses festooned the walls while the mantels were banked with feathery fern and roses.
 Preceding the ceremony there were several beautiful vocal solos, love songs appropriate to the occasion, given by
 Miss Mamie Harrison and Mrs. Walter Guitars. To the strains of Mendels- sohn's march, rendered by Mrs. Forney Renfro, the maid of honor, Miss Mollie Beck Jones' sister of the bride, took her place at the improvised altar of palms and ferns. on either side were vine-en- twined pedestals topped with silver can delabra burning white tapers Miss
 Jones gown was fashioned of pink chif- fon over pink silk and she carried pink roses, Little Alberta Renfro entered, car rying the ring in a pink carnatiOn: she
 made a lovely picture Tn an exQu1StIo
 white frock with pink ribbons. The bride
 entered on the arm of her father, Col. E. N. Jones. and met the groom and his
 best man. Mir. Roland Lide of Birming-
 ham, at the altar. where Dr. A.
 r. McFerrin pronounced the impressive
 ring ceremony. The bride made a beau
 tiful picture in her wedding gown of
 W hite pinea silk with trimmings of silver lace. She wore silver slippers and tulle
 veil caught to her hair with orange blos- soms. She carried shower bouquet of
 brides roses and valley lilies.
 In the dining room Mollie Beck Jenkins Dorothy Guitars and Virginia Burt served delicious ices The cream was frozen in white heart shape with pink cupids, and the cakes were in pink. The brides table was quite pretty with lace covers, bas- kets of white roses. candlesticks burning white tapers, tulle strea~ers and ferns. the hints were white. The guests en- joyed cutting the brides cake which wa d a large and beautiful embossed one.

Cnffee Market

New York, February 25.-The market for coffee futures was nervous and ir- regular during todays trading, with a large part of the business consisting of exchanges from March to later deliv- cries. The opening was ? to points lower under scattering liquidation, which seemed to be promoted by the cir culation of March notices estimated at 15,000 bags At some further widening of differences between months, it seemed possible to switch March freely into later deliveries and prices steadied up to 7.67c for March and Sc for Sep tember, or about to ' points net high ed. Offerings increased later, however, and further March liquidation served to unsettle the market, with that position selling off to 7.6oc, while September also reacted with the general list clos ing at 8 decline of 8 points to an ad- vance of 2 points. Sales, including ex- changes 100,500. February, 7.57c; March, 7.57c; April, 7.66c; May, 7.76c; June, 7.S0c; July, 7.S5c; August, 7.90c; Eep- tember, 795c; October, 7.99c; November, |8.03c; December. S.07c; January s.09c.
 Spot steady; Rio 7's, 9Ac; Santos As, 10 1-7c. Very few cost and freight of fers were reported here from Brazil but there were rumors that the tone was slightly easier.

WHEAT PRICES RISE
 ON EXPORT SALES
Leading Traders Who Threw Wheat Overheard Yester-
 day Become Buyers

Chicago, February 25.-Big export sales helped today to overcome in the wheat market the nervousness brought about by the crisis between Germany and the United States Quotations closed firm, 114c net higher with May at LISA and July at S1.15zs. Gains were scored, too, by all other leading staples-corn, 5sd s4v to 1c; oats, 5s@szc, and provisions 215 @71ac.
 Although the magnitude of the purchas- ing of wheat for Europe was not fully understood when after the session was at an end the fact was well known that a liberal total would be announced As finally given out the aggregate was 2,- 5O0,OO0 bushels, making 5.o000 900 bushels in the last AS hours, exclusive of 350,0OO bar rels of Canadian flour, equal to 1.500 coo bushels of wheat. Aside from export business, however, the bulls had the advantage most of the time because of signs that yesterdays selling furry was overdone, and that some feasible way might yet be found to prevent an out right breach with eGrmany. Bulish do- nestle crop advices counted somewhat also to give the market an upward slant.
 Leading traders who yesterday threw wheat overheard right and left became persistent buyers today, especially when ever, as happened soon after the opening and again at midday, the market tempo rarily fell below yesterdays minimum f1g- ures. The chief feature of the bullish crop news current was a report by a well known authority that the outlook in Texas pointed to only half normal yield.
 Corn showed strength throughout the day. Receipts were light, and there was some export inquiry at the seaboard. Oats appeared to be principally governed by the action of wheat and corn. Word was received of export sales of 100000 bushels.
 Provisions moved up with grain and hogs. The best demand was for lard. Future quotations were as follows:

Ayery's Letter

The most remarkable thing about the cotton market and the one that has com pletely fooled me, is the continued liqui- dation of long lines of cotton that no one would have believed could possibly
