SHARP RALLY IN
 COTTON MARKET
General List Closed Steady at Net Advance of Over
 p Points

New York, April 27.-An early decline was followed by very sharp rally in the cotton market today with July con tracts selling up from 19.5sc to 20.06c and closing at 19. 95c. The general list closed steady at a net advance of 2s to S2 points.
 The market opened steady at an ad- vance of 1 point on May but generally 4 to 10 points lower and sold off to a net loss of 8 to 13 points during the early trading. There was scattering liquida- ton and local selling, which seemed to be inspired by the favorable view of the weather map and prospects for rains in the southwest. Offerings were compar- atively light, however, and after selling off to 19.Tc for May and S.49c for De- tober, the market steadied on covering. Perhaps there was some disappointment over the reading of the western belt fore cast, which promised no rain for Texas except showers in northwest portions of the eastern part of the state, followed by lower temperatures. The main factor, however, appeared to be reports that trade interests had been absorbing new crop contracts against forward require ments, bullish weekend figures and talk of a bulge in the spot demand. When recent sellers on favorable weather ad- vices started to cover they found very few contracts for sale around the ring and prices advanced very rapidly to 20.25c for May and l9 Ole for October, with the general list selling 3S to 40 points net higher The close was several points off from the best, under realizing. Private cables reported little hedge selling in Liverpool, absorbed by month-end trade calling and covering against cotton sunk, but there seemed to be very few Liver pool orders around the local ring. The south as well as local traders were sup posed to be covering on the afternoon advice. A private report published early pointed to a considerable decrease in acreage in Alabama and Mississippi and said that a good deal of replanting would be necessary in the latter state.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'S Letter

New York, April 27.-(Special.) 1.-The market early was quiet and steady at about last nights prices. without any large volume of business. Toward noon reports of cold rain in northern Texas and fears that cold wave might pass over the western belt over the week end, brought in some buying from Wall street and local sources. so that the mar ket advanced sharply to above 20 cents for July. At this level enough fresh sell- ing came from the south to check the advance, the market finally closing few points below the highest prices for the day Weather conditions in the eastern belt are excellent and it is question: able whether any damaging temperatures will appear in the west. The constant tendency, however, among the local trade. is to antipicate higher prices so that any factors which tend to influence the mar ket upward have great weight.

Italian in the employ of the city, has
been missing from his home since yes,
terday morning. But Pete, who visited
Central headquarters last night to re-
quest the aid of the police in finding
his boy, exhibited more curiosity as
to his whereabouts than anxiety over
him. It's because Jimmy has con-
tracted a bad case of the wanderlust
in his brief existence, and goes on
such excursions at stated intervals.
Pete told the police about his son,
Jimmy, last night. He no lika my

"Peter's Pence" to Be Taken
Up Next Sunday Morning

IF every man on this earth were to
read the bible and take his own in
terpretation from it, we would doubt
less have as many religions as we
have men," said Father D. P. Neligan
in a sermon at St, Peters Catholic
church yesterday. During His three
years OF public life, Christ did not
explain all his doctrines, but when He
left this earth He gave us someone
to take HiAplace; someone who could
guide us infallibly toward the end for
which we were created; He gave us
the Pope of Rome he added. The
subject OF Lis sermon was taken from
the gospel for the day in which is
described the miracle by which Christ
filled the nets of the fishermen when
an all-night attempt had brought
them nothing.
Rev. Father J. F. Mccarthy, pastor
of St. Peters announced the opening
of a retreat for working girls and
business women at the Sacred Heart
academy, Thirty-sixth and Burt
streets on Friday. The Peters
Pence" collection will be taken up in
all the Catholic churches next Sum
day. "The burden of this collection
will doubtless rest with the people OF
the United States said Father
Neligan. 'We as yet, are not so deeply
in the throes of war as are many. OF
our European neighbors, and for that
reason it is especially the part of
Americans to give freely to the sus-
tenance of the Pope"

Stolen From Druu Firm

The arrest of Andy Bryant, solo
North Twenty-fourth street, led to
the recovery Of a room full of toilet
articles missing from the Goodrich
Drug company. When questioned at
the station Andy passed the buck"
to 4 woman, who he alleged had given
him the spoil. The woman referred
to was found at the county jail, where
she has resided since last Friday. But
she proved to be only link in the
chain of mischief. She referred De-
tec4iWes Unger and Anderson to
Charles K. Anderson, 522 North Thir-
ty-seeond street, who is an A. D. T.
watchrnan. The detectives brought
him to the station at 9 o'clock last

commit himself or anybody else of the
charge the police booked him for in
yestigation.
