ate and House.

niags Bryan to-day addressed an appeal
10 the Senate and House OF Representa-

that nothing but war will satisfy the
nations honor

But Tyndareus Did Not Sink and Troops
Were Transferred.

London, March 29.-The British trans.
| port Tyndareus, with battalion of the
MiddleseJ regiment aboard, struck mine

The admiralty issued last night the
following statement on the incident;
'The admiralty transport Tyndareus,
with battalion of the Middlesex regi-
ment aboard, struck a mine at eight
in the evening of February off Cape
Agulhas. A strong southwesterly gale

Assembly was sounded and the men
donned life belts and paraded in perfect
order. Roll was called and upon the or
der stand easy the whole battalion be-
gan to sing.
1.-TWO steamers, dispatched to the res
cue, arrived on the scene within half
an hour. During this trying time, al
though faced by the probability of i'm
minent death, the troops maintained
steadfast courage and discipline. Never
was the tradition of the British army
more worthily upheld than on the oc-
casion.
Thanks to the devotion and persever
ance of the captain and the officers the
ship was saved. The troops were trans
ferred to the two steamers and taken to |
where the Tyndareus sub /

Quotations are reported by individuals over

them printed in the daily lists. even without
the formality OF first submitting the shares to
the Curb Association for It's approval. Some
securities are regularly listed-that is. they
are approved for trading by the Curb Assoeis-
ton, and il Is required that information con-
corning them will be filed from time TO time
with the secretary. Such information Is open
to public inspection. Some other securities.
like the Standard Oil subsidiaries, are ''ad-

Current A "
Cotton

Barring occasional fractional recess
sions, the course of prices was steadily
upward Yesterday the final figures
showing gains of roundly 40 points, or
81 a bale. The improvement was
orderly, and the most legitimate wit
messed in q long time. The dealings
exceeded the combined totals for the
two preceding days. IL was regarded
as decidedly significant that 80 per
cent of the business represented fix
ing" Of prices by spinners. In a WORD,
Southern spot firms were the principal
buyers of futures against sales OF the
actual cotton. At the same time, out
side taking showed some Improvement.
Wall Street houses were fair buyers.
Commission houses took advantage OF
the upturn 20 sell out cotton bought
on the decline ~ last month.
The great strength of the cash sit
uation remains as the principal factor
in the situation. Quotations from
Southern spot markets are far above
a parity with local prices and hence
there is no pressure from that quarter
From all sections come reports OF a
better inquiry from domestic and Tor
eigu spinuers. and claims OF buying
Tor herman dCtoull tiS pNi'b
atcd. Planters are still reluctant about
selling and are evidently following the
advice Of their local newspapers TO
hold for higher prices. In parts OF
Alabama it is said that supplies were
not forthcoming, even though bids OF
equal TO lc. over the New YORK Jdhu-
arv contract price were made.
To some extent buying was prompted
by the large worlds takings OF Amer
lean cotton for the week, 381,764 bales,
against 273, Gi3 bales year ago. The
quantity brought into sight for the
week was placed at 309,95S bales,
against 272,6i3 bales year ago. The
tention was also called TO the large
exports. 39,7SO bales, making the total
since August about $4,000 bales
larger than for the same period last
year.
