First trades here were at decline of
to 8 points, with feeling reactionary
on rain prospects for the west and the
general situation. but selling was held in
check by an early demonstration in New
York of control there on the technical
situation, which promptly created a
straddle demand in support of our mar

against movement of cotton to New
York. the bull side there has the ad-
vantage on technical conditions, and the
market can be held with relatively little
effort.
Private information on acreage varies
greatly, but reports generally indicate an
increase and very satisfactory conditions

Memphis Reports Crop Con
ditiOns East of River Now
10 Per Cent Better

New York, March 27.-The. cotton
ing today's trading with early adj
vances followed by reactions under
renewed liquidation accompanied by
rumors of further German successes.
July contracts sold off from 32.34c to
32e6c and closed at that level, with
the general list closing steady at a
net loss of Is to 10 points.
The market opened steady at de-
cline of 8 points to an advance of
2 points and showed considerable firm
ness during tie early trading. There
was further buying by Liverpool and
domestic trade interests. as well as
scattered covering on the bullish char
acter of spot news and a cheerful
view of the early war news. May sold
up to 33.01c and October to- 31.1Sc,
making net advances of s to IL points
and rallies of 6S.S4 points from the
low level reached on the break Mon
day.
This made a recovery to within 8
or points of the seasons high rec
ords on July and October, which
seemed sufficient to bring out re-
newal of scattering LIQUIDATION. Tit
disposition to take profits on long
contracts was increased by favorable
crop advances and rumors of showers
in the southwest. and the selling be-
came more active late in the after
noon on reports of less favorable war
news. May sold off to 32.71c and Oc-
toher to 30.92 with the market clos
ing at approximately the lowest point
of the day.
A private report issued by a local
authority indicated probable In
crease of rs per cent in acreage. There
war also report from Memphis that
crop conditions east, Of the river were
10 per cent better than at this time
last year with early indications point
ing to about the same acreage as last
season.

of things, and thought the war situation
looked better. AS consequence grain

the market to some extent. With hogs

New York, March N.-There was no
change in sugar. raws being quoted at
the fixed rate of 4.S9S5 for Cubas cost
and freight. equal to 6.005 for centrifugal
Business recently has been of fair pro-
portion for April shipment and it was
believed that some of the Dutch tonnage
recently taken over by the United States
would be used in the sugar carrying
trade. Todays purchases by the commit
tee were 5000 bags of Porto Rico, and
81, goo Santo Domingo.
Prices for refined are quoted at 7.45 for

refiners making every effort to fill the
demand and it is expected that during
the coming month deliveries should be
larger on account of the larger ship
ments of raws scheduled for this country
during April.

by reading the following poem.
II You Have a Friend Worth
Loving:
If you have a friend worth loving,
Love him. Yes, and let him
know
That you love him, ere life's eye-
ming
Tinge his brow with sunset elov
Why should good words ne'er be-
said
Of a friend-till he is deadi
II You hear song that thrills yor
Sung by any child of song,
Praise 1t. Do not let the singer
Wait deserved praises long.
Why should one that thrills your
heart
Lack the joy you may imparte
II you hear a prayer that moves
you
BY its humble pleading tone,
Join it. Do not let the seeker
Bow before his God alone.
why should not your brother
share
The strength of ''two or three
in prayer?
1t you see the hot tears falling
From a brothers. weeping ewes
Share them. and by kindly shar-
ing
Own your kinship in the skies.
why should any one be glad
When brothers. heart is sads
1t silvery laugh goes ripping
Through the sunshine on his
face. 9,
Share it. 'Tis the wise mans say.
ing
For both grief and Joy a: place
There's health and goodness in the
mirth
In which an honest laugh has
birth.
1t your work is made more easy
BY friendly, helping hand, ;.
Say So. Speak out brave and
truly
Ere the darkness veil the land.
Should a brother workman dear
Falter for word of cheerY
Scatter thus your deeds Of kind
ness
All encircline as you 60
Leave them. Trnst the Harvaaf.
Giver:
He will make each seed to grow.
So. until the happy end,
Your life shall never lack q
friend.
