CLAIMS UNLUCKIEST TITLE

Pitcairn. Pa, March George W.
Huff, a Pennsylvania railroad en-
ploye, lays claim to the title of "un-
luckiest man." He was working on
an engine when a pinch bar struck
him on the chin and knocked him to
the ground In falling he struck a
piece of steel and sustained a lacer-
ated scalp. and when his foot caught
between two ties he was thrown in
such a manner that the muscles of
his back were badly strained.

 In the late evening on the day of the tragedy the bodies of the two men were brought to the city and carried to their homes. Is was thought for several days that the minister would not live No light could be thrown on the tragedy as no one seemed to know, save a few, who refused to make a statement. of any existing trouble between the two The minister gradually grew better and was finally removed from his home to the county jail. His trial was set for some time in November, but owing to his weak condition his trial was con tinued until the May term of court 1918 However. the minister had, 1t was thought, practically recovered his health and while physicians were of the opin- ion that his life would be shortened by the copper-capped bullets, 1t was not thought that so sudden a change would come.
 Mir. Terry had been a prominent figure In Alabama religious circles for over 20 years and his trouble came as surprise and shocked tho entire state.
 The main cause of the shooting has never been learned. and If death claims It's victim before he is tried and tine cir~ cumstances brought to light 1t Is very doubtful if the exact cause is ever known.

 has again become broken in health and tonight the minister is lowering be- tween life and death in his cell on the second floor of the Franklin cdunty iail and doctors say that practically all hopes of his recovery are gone, that the two lcopper-capped bullets that have been lodged in his body since the day of the tragedy and which physicians were un- able to remove on account of their loca : ton. have poisoned his system and death is sure to come as result

POOR CORN GRADES
 HARDENED PRICES
Big Receipts Failed to Stop Advance, as Market De-
 manded Good Grade

Chicago, March 4.-Corn prices hard ened today influenced largely by scare ity of good grades and by reports that the number of cars available was inade- .quate to meet rural needs, Futures closed firm at the same as Saturdays finish to 1sc higher, with March s1.27a. and May si.271s Oats gained ss@1ac to M@Mc. The outcome in provisions varied from 15c to 7c advance.
 Despite big receipts demand for corn showed urgency for the better qualities and displayed some improvement as to the less desirable kinds. One of the lead ing industries which has been out of the market 10 days became a purchaser again Complaints of car shortage were chiefly from Illinois and Iowa. In this connection, it was asserted that with a normal spring virtually no corn would be moving from farms three weeks hence, as farmers would then be busy with field work. Under such circum- stances the fact that the visible supply total had climbed did not receive much notice.
 Persistent buying of oats took place throughout the session. Gossip was cur rent that better outlet was likely.
 Packers supported rallies in provisions after an early decline. The initial weak ness was ascribed to a setback in the value of hogs.

COTTON HIT HIGH
 PLACES FOR RISE
The Liverpool Market Influ- enced Traders to Big Ex- tent-C0tton Goods
 Active

' New York, March 4.-There was an ad- the cotton market today, with all deliv- cries making new high ground for the season. May contracts sold up to S1S4c or 64 points above Saturdays close, and the general list closed firm at a net ad- vance of 57 to 63 points.
 The market opened firm at an advance of p to 8 points in response to high CT Liverpool cables. Liverpool buying and renewed demand from domestic trade sources. There was a good deal or realizing and some southern hedge selling around the initial figures, but after sl brief period of hesitation, the markez showed increasing strength, with active months working about 35 to 50 points net higher before midday. After the close of Liverpool the de- mand from that source slackened and there was enough profit taking to cause reactions of s to 10 points during the middle of the day. Otherwise offerings were very few, with no indication of any pressure from spot holders, and the
 
 in the late trading.
 The demand from domestic trade sources was for both old and new crop months, and coupled with the bullish average of the news from the goods mar ket, suggested hedging against forward requirements. There was also a renewal of active Liverpool buying late in the afternoon, while the advance caught stop orders on the short side. March sold up to 32.32c, July to 3l 40c and Oc- tober to 3o.3sc or 63 to 66 points net higher with May selling 259 points above the low level of last month.
 Further rains are considered neces- sary in Texas but traders were less in- clined to attribute the days advance to anything in the crop outlook, than to the strength of the goods market and the absence of spot pressure.

New Orleans Cotton

New Orleans, March 4.-New high rec ords were made on both spots and con tracts in the cotton market here today as the result of buying wave which de- veloped on the opening and had not spent itself on the close. Highest prices being reached in the last few minutes of trading. Here the active months were 63 to S3 points over Saturdays last quo- tations The close was 63 to Sl points up
 net. Spots advanced 3s points to 32 3sc on middling, the highest price in half a century. March, at it's best, stood at 31.62c, the highest price ever posted in the local market.
 1 The buying was resumption of the
 moy oment of last week and was founded on strong position of the spot market, the threat by March longs that they would demand cotton for their contracts and continued unsatisfactory weather conditicns over Texas, little rain being indicated in that state on the weather map. Reports of further improvement ! hl prices of cotton goods also helped the advance. Recent widening of dif- ferences in the spot grades here, forcing the lower grades to record discounts, were regarded as making for a more valuable contract.
 Buyers found offerings scanty through out the session. Nervous shorts bought covers largely. There were times when offerings apparently were coming chief | ly from satisfied longs.

Over w. E. Campbelps Wire

New York, March 1.-The cotton market continues it's strong tone today and al- though there was considerable realizing early in the session by buyers of last week also freer offerings from the south, ths demand from trade sources and Liv- erpool again proved more than enough to take care of these contracts. The large orders placed for government use and the demand for civilian purposes has given the mills business enough to TUT far into the summer months, against which they are protecting themselves with purchases in the local market The firmness of the southern spot market is also a contributing factor to the stead mess.
 Ordinarily after an advance of over 3 cents per pound in short time fair setback would be had, but as the ad- vance has been due generally to purchas- DTS by the trade and not for specula- tive accounts, there are fewer contracts available as prices move upward. We still believe that a higher level will be reached and continue to favor the long side.-E. F. Hutton X Co.

New Orleans, March 4.-Cotton made a
 wide rise on it's own merits today. stand
 1 ing 75 points up on March in the early afternoon The near months made new
 high record levels as did also the price of middling cotton in the spot depart ment at 32.38c. There was a good demand for contracts on the opening call, and it persisted throughout the session. Off, ferings were not liberal except from
 satisfied longs, and they were unable
 to simply the demand. The constant re
 alizing from the long side serves to
 keep the market in healthy condition.
 Rumors that March longs would demand cotton for their coDtracts developed a covering movement of importance on the
 short side. Among outside traders there was a decided impression that the value of contracts had been enhanced by the recent widening of differences between spot grades. which has just put low middling 175 points under midding, a record breaking discount. The lack of rain in Texas. very strong Liverpool market and the most bullish kind Of reports from the cotton goods market were features which increased the de- mand. At the highest levels, the trad ing months were 5S to 75 points over last weeks close. Spots were marked B points up. With the situation as strong as it is. we see every reason why the advance should continue, with nat ural reactions from time to time and advise buying on such sofb spots.-Shep- ard & Gluck
