Cotton

NEW YORK, Aprfr 26.-Ths cotton market
opened steady at advance Of to 10 points
today on overnight covering orders and in re-
Spouse to firm cables. Many thought the al
vance abroad had reflected anxiety over ship
ping conditions as a result of the large number
OF vessels reported sunk during the past week,
however, while houses with Liverpool connec-
lions were sellers here, and the market soon
turned easier. Local map readers said the
west and houses with New Orleans connections
supposed to be selling on this outlook,
while there we're also reports that the south
was offering spots more freely to New England
mills. After selling at 10 s5 on the CALL May
eased off TO $50, while July declined from
19. 60 to 10. OF. and October from 49, go to IS 81
before the end of the first hour.
Selling not active or aggressive but
prices gradually eased off later in the morn
ing with May selling down TO 1911 and Octo-
Der TO 1879, or about to II points net lower.

NEW ORLEANS COTTON.

NEW ORLEANS COTTON.
NEW ORLEANS, April 2e.-Good cables and
reports Of another decrease in the ocean freight
rate from here to Liverpool caused moderately
heavy buying in the early trading in cotton
today. Offerings were rather slender and in
the first half hour of business prices advanced
to points.
Fear that the submarine losses Of the last
week meant a tightening OF the blockade
around England caused moderate selling. To-
ward noon prices were at a net decline Of .
10 9 points.
The tone was steadier in the afternoon and
the supply of contracts was much smaller. At
$50 the trading months stood 1 to 4 points
over yesterdays close.

The Alabama Coal Operators asso- citation learned last night of the ap- pointment of Sam P Kennedy of An niston as fuel administrator for the state of Alabama with surprise. but with no regret.

I presume there will be no question regarding the fact that he holds two jobs.'' MT. Ken nedy, as is known, is chairman of the public utilities commission of the state.
 As to the duties devolving upon the Alabama fuel administrator. MT Davidson said: Tt will probably be tailers regard the prices to be m nounced by the government. In addi- tion MT, Kennedy will be charged with the duty, I am informed, of observing conditions as to supply and demand. 1t will probably be a function of his to supply any section of this state which Is in need of coal to transfer ship ments directed to place well sup piled to a place in want"
 In addition, MT. Kennedy will ap- point local fuel administrators. Such administrators will be appointed for every city in Alabama having popula- tion in excess of 10000. Three cities, Birmingham, Mobile and Montgomery, will be the field of operation for local administrators.

 The early part of his speech was taken up in replying to the advertisement in behalf of Dr. Barrett, which appeared in yesterdays Age-Herald.
 T am for East Birrnin gham," said Mr. Ward, for this Is tho one sectional part of Birmingham which has cost the city nothing. You are conservative, and you have to be, for you have your fam flies to look after, and so help me God, if I get elected I am going to help you all I can.
 T feel that you all have read the pa pers and discovered that there is some thing fictitious about my opposition for the place of president of the commission. Something happened; secret order known as the T. As got hold of pr. Barrett and pulled him into the race. This organization Is political society under the guise of religion. Politicians who hope to get control of the city gov ernment-thats what they are.
 John E. Shelby stated at the open ing Barrett rally that they were going to elect the city officials the legisla- tors and the governor of Alabama. They ask you to come into this organization to destroy a faithful servant, who has done his duty and served the city to the best of his ability
 They wanted me to fire Martin Ea- gan, little Irishman who has served the country and state for 25 years They never asked me to fire him, but I made the statement that I would not, because he Is competent and faithful and be- cause of his religion I did not think it fair to discharge him. ask you. boys, is this fair?"
 T am fighting for my election to de- feat T. A.'ism, for I would lay down any right I may have to office, any personal desire, to defeat the T. As for 1t must be beaten, but I am positive of my election, and will be returned to the city hall as president of the city com mission on October s.
