PRICES WEAKEN ON
 COTTON MARKET
Market Steadies, However, by Reports of Larger
 Spot Business

New York, April 4.-After a compara- lively steady morning the cotton market weakened as a result of near-nonth liqui-
 dation, and May sold off to 11.7Sc, or Il
 points under last nights closing figures,
 while new crop deliveries held relatively
 steady, with the close steady, net points
 lower to 1 point higher Liverpool did
 not fully meet yesterdays local advances.
 and the opening here was somewhat ir-
 regular, first prices being points lower
 to 1 point higher. The relatively easy showing of the cables was again attrib- uted to the easier freight situation, how ever, while the tone of the local market was steadied by reports of a larger spot business in New Orleans and some scat tering demand room trade sources.
 There seemed to be some scattered sell ing of May from the start and that posi- tion failed to work above last night $ closing price, but July sold up to 12 .03c late in the morning. while October ad- vanced to 11c, or about 3 to points net higher. There was no active or ag- sressive buying, however, and the mar ket turned easier during the afternoon un- der more active near month liquidation. part of which was in the shape of switch ing from May to December As May sold off, July broke to Il 93c or about 10 points from the high level of the morn ing and October worked back to F. Csc. or point under last nights closing quota ton. Later fluctuations were extremely nervous and irregular with last prices showing rallies of or points from the 1 lowest in case of old crop deliveries while the new crop held within a point or two of yesterdays final figures. One of the private cables said that ocean | freight room from Galveston to Tivernool was quoted at s1s0 per hundred.

JACKSON, MISS.

Jackson. Miss, April 4.-(Special) ) The Mississippi Press association will meet at Clarksdale May 23, 24 and 25, and great time is promised all who attend. At meeting of the programme committee held here few nights since 1t was determined that the address of welcome should be delivered by Oscar G. Johnston, the "Gentleman from Coahoma," and to which Joseph E. Nor wood, the "Gentleman from Pike" will respond. These two men are leaders in the house of representatives and among the really strong men in the legisla- ture. Among the entertainments prom ised the press by the people of Clarks- dale are included an auto trip to Friars Point, a boat ride to Helena, Ark, an auto trip to Moon lake, and a cabaret dance at the Outing club, to say nothing of the frequent "eats."
 The board of trustees of the state penitentiary will hold very impor- tant meeting this week. the legisla- ture having provided the ways and means of operating the lime rock crushing plants ordered by the 1914 session. The idea is that two such rock crushing plants will be established, one in the northern and the other in the southern part of the state. so that as large a number of farmers can be reached as possible at smallest expense. This lime rock is now obtainable from Tennessee or Alabama at about $7 per ton. and at such an exorbitant price very little is used even by those who know their land needs it. The trus- tees estimate that they will be able to sell this rock at $1.50 per ton, and as the railroad commission has ar ranged cheap freight rate it can be had for about one third what it is now costing. The trustees will also let con- tracts for groceries, dry goods. hard ware, clover and lespediza seed, blows. boilers and engines and other things needed on the convict farms.

Coffee Market

New York, April 1.-The market for cof- fee futures was very quiet today, sales being reported of only 5250 bags. In the absence of general business prices were responsive to comparatively small orders, and there seemed to be little scatter ing Wall street liquidation, particularly in the matter of July contracts. The market opened at a decline of to 6 points in consequence. with July selling at S19c and December at S.40c. Trade interests were moderate buyers and there were a rally of point or two from the lowest with the close steady at a net decline of 3 to 5 points. April, S0Sc; May, S.10c; June, S.16c; July, SOC; August, S.25c; October, 8.33c; November, S37c; De- cember, S.4c; January, S.46c; February, S.51c; March, S.56c.
 Spot quiet; Rio 7's, s5s; Santos As, 1OA. Cost and freight market was reported dull at unchanged prices. The official cables reported no change in milreis prices, with Rio exchange on London 3-2 pence lower. Brazilian port receipts, 20 = 900; Jundiahy, 10000 So far as received, visible supply figures point to a decrease of about 975,O00 bags for the month of March.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter

New York, April 4.-(Special)-It was not until after Liverpool had been closed that the liquidation by holders of May commenced to make an impression upon prices. Many of these Mays were trans ferred to the new crop positions, mainly December. The spot men were not buy CTS of May as they expect a carrying difference. Just at the close the market rallied on the new positions on buying by arbitrage houses. but the idea prevailed that the near months may go to a sharp discount under the new crops. The weather i'll the south is becoming more favorable for planting and blowing We see no change in local opinion which is not to be short of cotton.

TRADING QUIET ON
 STOCK EXCHANGE
Prices Advance in Early Trading, But Yielded on
 Lack of Interest

New York, April At may safely be asserted that the operation of pools and cliques were solely responsible for such changes as occurred in todays profes- sional market. Prices were mostly higher in the active forenoon, but yielded very generally in the dull dealings of the later session, for no other reason, presumably than the spectators refused to follow the rise. This is only another way of stating that trading lacked the incentive or propelling force of public or outside interest
 The more extreme gains of the morn- ing were confined to a half-dozen mixed issues such as Willys-Overland Stude- baker and Chandler, among the motors, those stocks rising 4 to 8 points; Mer- cantile Marine common and preferred, the former advancing almost 3 points on the largest output in many weeks; Texas company, which rose points, and Jewell Tea issues, both of the latter breaking into new ground the common rising 61s to s57s and the preferred PIE to 113.
 There also were temporary gains of to points in copper and zinc shares, a half-score of industrials and equip i'cHtS anu SOflo or the IerllllZerS ana tobaccos while rails, like New Haven and Delaware and Hudson, improved their position by point or more
 Sugar shares, among the recent spectac- ular features were consistently weak. Cuban-American losing 20 to 220 and South Porto Rico 10 to 2O6.
 The list in general was heaviest in the last hour, when rumors purporting to Siye an outline of Washington's view of the international situation provoked de- cllnes of 1 to 3 points, munitions being the principal. losers. Crucible Steel, American Locomotive and United In- dustrial Alcohol were most susceptible to pressure and contributed more than any other issues to the irregular close, albeit 1lnal prices were varfably above lowest levels.
 General news bearing upon the market was again of a favorable character, in- cluding additional splendid railway earn lngs and increased steel orders
 Bonds were irregular, with moderate reaction in Anglo-Frnech ,, which de- elined to 95ss. Total sales, par value were s4.61O,00o
 United States bonds were unchanged An call

Avery's Letter

The trading today in the cotton market consisted almost entirely of switching of long days into later position, principally new crop months. Outside business was almost nil No news of any interest. Spot markets were quoted up at Nor folk and Galveston, other points un- changed.
 It is said that there is some very large stocks at ports in Texas waiting the re- opening of the Panama canal on April Ia for shipment to Russia and Japan. No change of opinion. Buy cotton at these prices or on any moderate setbacks.

RECOMMENDS THAT

 AND AID RAILROADS
Supreme Court Again in Session at Capital-Great Southern Trains Can
 Stop Downtown

Montgomery, April 4-(SpecialJ ) Owing to a car shortage in this sec tion. brought about by congestion at the various eastern ports, the state public service commission today made several recommendations to the ship mended first that shippers order no cars until they have loading for them second, that all equipment be loaded to it's fullest capacity, and. third, that cars be loaced and unloaded as prompt ly as possible.
 The commissions recommendation, signed by President Sam P. Kennedy and Associate Members B. H. Cooper and s. P. Gaillard, was issued in the nature of a proclamation, and was as follows:
 "On account of a congestion at the ports, especially eastern ports, brought about by a shortage of ship room, there Is now a car shortage in this section and it is very probable that it may become acute. We, therefore, recom- mend to the shipping public:
 l. Order no cars until you have load ing for them; in other words, do not anticipate your needs.
 2. Load all equipment, if possible to its full capacity.
 3. Load and unload all cars as promptly as possible. not taking the full time that is now allowed for suct loading and unloading.
 These measures will largely benefit the shipping public as whole.
