COTTON MARKETS.
NEW YORK. April ga better
weather map than expected and pros
poets for a favorable week in the belt
led to liquidation and a renewal OF
more or less general pressure In the
cotton market early today. Cables were
better than due, and the opening was
a decline of IA points. but prices soon
weakened. with July selling off to 2S.4S
and October to 27.48 during the first few
minutes, or 81 to 40 points net lower

not show temperatures as low as ex-
pected. and the weekly forecast was
for generally fair and warmer weather
in the south.
Futures opened barely steady; May

to 40 points net lower. while May was
relatively weak. selling off to 2s.fO,
or 53 points from Saturdays close.
Talk of possible labor troubles in some
of the New England mill centers &C
companied the decline, but the chief
factor was believed to be the favorable
weather outlook, and much of the SELL
ing was attributed to replacing short
lines which had been covered toward
the end Of last week. Prices steadted
weather reports, showing heavy rains
and low temperatures in the eastern
belt and reports that trade interests
had been the leading early buyers.
NEW ORLEANS. April 22.-Violent
and irregular price changes occurred OF
the opening in cotton here today. The
market felt a strong demand momen-
tarily on the opening, resulting from
the belief that cold weather had dam
aged the crop over Sunday. Prices
bulged to "a points. Failure of the
weather map to indicate frost any
where in the cotton region stimulated
heavy selling at the advance. and July
dropped 10 points in a few trades. AT

 "We do not wish here to enter into the question of provisioning in the in Yaded districts; others, better quail ied than ourselves, give you, as we know, frequent information. It is enough for us to describe in q few words the situation from this aspect:
 Entire Population in Misery.
 ",The provisioning is very difficult: food, apart from that supplied by the Spanish American committee, is very scarce and terribly dear. People are hungry and the provisioning is in- adequate by at least half; our pOpu- lation Is suffering constant privations and Is growing nOticeably weaker The death rate, too. has increased cOnSid erably.
 Sometimes inhabitants of the in vaded territories speak with Il note of Encouragement, crying apparently: We are fOrsaken by everyone We, on the other hand, are hopeful, Mon sIeur le President, that the energetic intervention on the part of neutrals which the French government is sure 10 evoke, will soon bring to an end these measures which rouse the wrath of all to whom humanity is not un emp ty word

The course of the German armtsS in France waS marked tOith the same 6rutaliiieS that characterized the Oc- cupation Of Belgium. Ample proof has been produced that the entire proceedings were q deliberate part of the calculated system Of fright l fulneSS."
 In France the German system Of forced labor and deportations, with It's horrors, was the same as In Belgium. In this article Is shown the real lden- tity of German practice In both occu- pied regions. This can be done from the official documents and from sum mary by Ambassador Gerard. The narrowing details may be gathered from the scores of dispositions which accompany the note addressed by the French government to the governments of the neutral powers July 20, l9l6. These are on file in the state depart ment. and have also been translated, along with the official documents, In "The Deportation of Women and Girls From Lille" (New York, DOran.)
