AMERICAN SHIP LOSS
WOULD BRING ON WAR
Understood That Sinking of American Vessels and
Loss of American Life Would Be Overt Act Upon
Which United States Would Issue Declaration.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 9.-It is UNDER
that an outright Illegal sinking of an
American ship causing deaths of Amer
ican citizens would be the only overt
act which would bring about declara-
tion of war. The senate is soon to
discuss Senator McCumber's resolu-
ton of yesterday asking for an official
statement of the governments views
on what will constitute basis upon
which war will be declared.
An accumulation of indignities. it is
believed, may change the administra-
tons plans to wait for specific overt
act and may force a declaration of war
on general principles.

REPORTS OF MARKETS COTTON-GRAIN IN-LIVESTOCK.
New York Cotton

New York, April 3.--The response of the cotton market to the presi- dents war address was an excited buying movement, carrying prices more than g per bale advance last nights loss. July contracts sold up to $19.32, the highest price reached since the big break of last February and virtually $4 bale above the low level of yesterday morning. There was further active covering and q broadening outside demand which seemed to be based chiefly on a be- lief that this cOuntrys entrance into the war would stimulate cOnsump- ton, restrict production, furnish ad- ditional protection for exports and probably hasten peace.
 After the first rush of buying orders had subsided and the market rendered 10 or 12 points under realizing but firmed up again around midday on renewed buying and further covering. May sold at 19.64c, Jul vat 19.36c and December at 1S.3lc, or IA to 49 points net higher.
 Prospects for showers in the south west failed 10 check the buying move ment which was encouraged by re- ports that further sympathy came from the local stocks.
 The market closed steady.

HAVE SWEET CORN
 IN EVERY GARDEN
 IS EXPERT ADVICE
Easy to Grow, in Any Soil, and Producing Season Is
 Unusually Long.
EVERY GARDEN IS EXPERT ADVICE

EXPERT ADVICE
 Sweet corn should always be found in the home garden when space al lows, since it loses quality very rap idly after being picked. Its sugar changes into starch, so that to have it at it's best it should be on the fire within fifteen minutes after being pulled from the stalk. Those who wish to have home grown sweet corn will find the following advice from the United States department of agri- culture useful:
 Corn does best in fertile soil, but is able to adapt itself to all textures from sand to clay. To grow it in sui l ficient quantities for the average fam fly requires more space, however, than for most garden vegetables. It should not be planted until after danger of frost is past.
 The rows should be spaced not clos CT than three feet apart, and for the larger-growing late varieties the dis tance had best be three and one-half feet. Stalks should be thinned to stand from fifteen to eighteen inches covered with one or two inches of soil ! lSuIGlVdGlOll IlluSL bC UlOuSil, ILN- quent, and shallow.
 It is possible to use the ground 0c- cupied by early corn for a fall plant ing of such crops as spinach, turnips, and kale. Large, late varieties, how ever, will occupy the ground for prac- tically the whole season.
 For early use the yellow sweet corns have recently become quite popular A. ~1< known variety. Early Minnesota has long been a favorite. White MeXl- can is valuable early corn. Early Malakoff is very early sort of eX- cellent quality, which does better in the North than in the middle states however. Early Adams is a variety frequently grown for market, and its virtues rather are those of the market than of the table. It is a flint corn not sweet corn, but if used during the very short period when it's quail ties are at their best, it's f'A!0r ls good.
 For midseason and late use, Cros- by, Potters Excelsior, Country Gentle man, Black Mexican, and Stowels Ev' ergreen are suitable.
 It is possible to have a fairly long season of usuable corn if three va rieties, ysuch as Golden Bantam, Cros- by, and Country Gentleman are plant ed simultaneously in early spring. Tc make the season continuous until frost however, it will be necessary to plant some variety at intervals of two ol three weeks up to the last of July Crosby is very good variety for this purpose.

New Orleans Cotton.

New Orleans, April 3.-On the belief that congress would immcdI- ately declare that a state of war eX- ists with Germany, the price Of CO., ton rose AS to 50 points in the early trading here today, gain or SZ.'o a bale on the strongest months.
 Buying was heavy from the start New crop conditions were unfaVof- able and it was considered new crop prospects would be further injured by the raising of an army through it's effect on the labor supply. The pres sure to buy was relieved by only scanty offerings.
 The strength of spots and the rise of 37 points in that department made for fresh buying of contracts.
 The market closed steady at net advance of 39 to AS points.
