Big Selznick Feature.

J., In Herbert Brenon's production of
"The Eternal Sin" for Selznick pic
lures, at the Rex tomorrow, Flor
ence Reed plays the part of Lucretia
Borgia. The story is taken from
Victor Hugo's drama, which casts a
different light upon this character
from that generally accepted by his
torians. ~
: The traditional view of Lucretia
Borgia is that she was responsible
for much of the crime and vice at
the court of Ferrara. The author of
the play, whose deep humanitarian
ism is revealed in his other master
piece, Lies Miserables," refuses to
believe this, and shows Lucretia as
a woman who was a victim Of cir
cumstances rather than, a deliberate
vampire. Throughout the story, Luz
cretia is. sswayed by the highest and
purest emotions, and it is only when
she encounters injustice on the part
of her enemies, that she becomes un-
scrupulous in her vengeance.

Deposits of State Banks
In Alabama Show Increase
Of About 100000

Montgomery, April 5.-(Special 1.-The
deposits of state banks of Alabama
jumped from about SAG, 900, 900 to about ST.
100000 between June 90, 1917, and March
80, 1918, an increase of about s25. 100000 in
little more than nine months, accord
ing to preliminary statement made pub
lie by the state banking department
Wednesday showing the condition of
state banks on the call the latter part of
March. Deposits increased about $l2,000,-
600 between November and March go
Never before since the state banking
department was created has such an
enormous increase shown in deposits and
Alex e, Walker, state superintendent of
banks, is convinced that the showing
results from the increased prices being
paid for farm products and the great in
crease in money for development pur-
poses which has come to this state since
America entered the war.
Total resources of state banks now are
over $93,C00,000 and are fast approach
ing the $10O, 000O 900 mark. Bonds and
stocks increased 81, $4,000 between Novem-
Der 2 and March 8, while loans and dis
counts increased about 5000, 900. Surplus
and undivided profits increased about
$4,000 while bills payable show a de-
crease of more than 100000 since Novem-
Der and more than $1,000,0O0 since June 2
Overdrafts showed a decrease of $2s,-
eco. The decrease in overdrafts results
from the insistence of the state banking
department that no persons be permitted
to overdraw their accounts. When the
banking department was created in 1911
each statement showed overdrafts to run
about 81 500 600.

New York Futures
New Orleans Cotton

New Orleans, April 25.-The cotton
market here opened at the decline to-
day, remained at the decline throughout
the session and closed at the bottom. on
a barely steady tone. at a net loss of
100 to ISL points. Selling pressure was
felt nearly all the time. Sellers were
encouraged by May tenders, the unfavor-
able construction placed on war news
and by the lower spot quotations.
The low opening was caused by the
circulation of May notices. but tenders
were estimated at only 600 bales which,
in themselves, could not have exerted
any serious pressure on values. Their
sentimental effect was what counted.
Reports of slight German gains on the
western battlefront were viewed in a
pessimistic way. Lowest prices we're
brought about by a selling wave which
started just before the quoting of the
spot market and persisted until the
close. Spot prices were lowered by $50
points which reduced middling to 30. SOC
pound.
Bullish traders called attention to the
fact that this compared with 25S3c as
the low price of the day May making
the premium on spots nearly 5 cents
pound hut this, together with bulish
claims of an oversold market and hat
the decline was progressing too swiftly
was unheeded by the ring.

changes resulted almost entirely from

Only in one noteworthy instance dia
foreign affairs find direct reflections.
Royal Dutch oil registered an extrems
decline of 35s points, presumably in
connection with the tense diplomatic
relations between Holland and Ger

many active issues remaining until
quoted, while others reacted 1 to 4
points. Chief among these were Can

Greenhouses to Curtail

Washington, April 25.-The fuel adj

curtailing consumption of fuel oy

Many famous greenhouses on private
estates likewise will fall under .he

The curtailment order virtually
means a restriction of dollhouse space,
and directs that no florist growing

including coal, coke. fuel oil. petroi-

the greatest display of bearish senti-
ment that perhaps has been witnessed
since the reaction from the long adj
vance commenced. AS the result of
heavy selling for both accounts, the
market opened at a decline. remained
at the decline all day and late in the
day stood about $50 points under yes
terday's close. May notices were the
surface reason for most of selling. The
bearish confidence, based on war newc.
which reported further small gains of
an insignificant character by the Ger
mans. also resulted in more or less
selling. In this market May tenders
were only 600 bales; in New York they
were variously estimated at from $500
to 1900 bales with the consensus of
opinion pointing to the higher figure,
in themselves to cause any such de-
clines as took place. At the middle of
the day selling increased on expec-
tations that spots would be lowered
in sympathy with the decline in con-
tracts and lowest levels were reached
after spot quotations were posted,
showing a reduction of $50 points.
which put midding at 30.50c against
the low price of..25.S3c on May. We
still regard such a discount as plac-
ing the short seller in an unsound po-
sition. Technically the market becomes
stronger with each day Of selling and
each additional decline. We hear of
better inquiry for spots and rumorJ
persist of Improvement in the export
situation. We advise caution in fol-
lowing the decline.--Shepars G. Gluck.

From the Pittsburg Chronicle.
Mrs. Scatterbrain was constantly be-
moaning her lot. Her husband, who was

treacherous memory in the world. He
could remember nothing his wife told
him, in spite Of bits IF string round his
finger and knots in his handkerchief
Only once did Mr.. Scatterbrain remember
to do his wife's bidding.
Said a friend TO Mrs. Scatterbrain:
Il think you are getting as bad as
your hubby. ! got note from you yes

Heavens grasped Mrs. Scatterbrain,
trembling with the shock. my husband
must have posted it the very day ! gave
