There is real satisfaction in the report that
Nikolai Lenine will recover from the wound
inflicted upon him by a girl revolutiouist.
Death like that would be far too good for
such as he. He should be permitted to live
to realize in his trailorous heart the evil
he has done TO his native land and suffer
the stings OF an outraged conscience.

New York, May 22+,Weak cables and Dcarish reports were followed by active general selling at the opening of the cotton exchange today. First prices were weak at a decline of h to 59 points With all deliveries mak- ing new low ground for the move mcnt. July contracts sold 1t .ls} .l5} S5 on the call and October at 23 h. of $3 to s.. 50 per bale below last ni4ht'S clos ing. This break attracted heavy coy ering, which caused sharp rallies be- fore the end of the first rour. al though the tone remained nervous and unsettled It was rumored that pre- liminary returns to one of the South Crn authorities indicated an increase of two per cent in acreage and of 1 1 DC. cent in the use of fertilizer and placed the condition al S2.i per cent last year.
 After the rally from 23S9 to 2t.to for July and from 23.2a to 23.50 for October. the market became less act i've and turned easier again during the middle of the day With July sasging off to 3f.00 and October to 23.30. or 40 to II points net lower. The week lv report of the weather bureau read favorably as expected but much of the late forenoon selling seemed in spirod by reports that one of the prominent local bankers feared the congestion of cotton in this country would cause serious next season.
 The market was easier during the carly afternoon with July selling back to 23.So, or the early low level, while later months made new low ground with October selling at 231S, or about :12 to 72 points ret lower There were rumors that low grades might be bought for delivery which may have accounted for the relatively easy ruling of near months.
