Wall Street Traders Impressed
With the War Outlook Over There
BY JOHN G. MOSES

With a slight lull along the battle
front of France, and with the Huns los
ing their punch, Wall streets courage
strengthened. Stocks as a whole rail-
lied from yesterdays reversals, some at
tanning records for the week. Pools were
active in specialties. United States Steel
rallied brisxly from it's slight reaction,
making its best quotation of the week
at a gain of IA points. Rails also hard
ened after early irregularity. The clos
ing was strong. Sales Appropriated 275.-
900 shares. Libert S1ks, 1854 to 1894; first
As, 1856 to $3.50; second As, 1852 to $685.
Spot advices and the bullish weather
sent cotton on its way for rise of s.

ty Of evidence of beginning a position
to improve on any further buying dur
ing the next few sessions. The fore
cast stated that frost was probable in
west Arkansas, north Texas and in
Oklahoma. with freezing temperatures
likely in northern and west Oklahoma
and in the panhandle of Texas. Frosts
would do little harm in these sections,
but the trade feared that the cold
weather might extend farther south
than indicated by the forecast. Rains
in the central and eastern belts over
night were considered unfavorable be-
cause of their effect in delaying plant
ing. The market acts sold out and over
sold, war news is more favorable and
we see no reason why 1t should not re-
spond readily to buying. The close was
sc to 60 points up.

New Orleans Cotton

New Orleans, April 20.-Higher
prices ruled in cotton here today from
start to finish of the session, chiefly
owing to the demand from shorts for
covers over the weekend. Buyers
found little for sale. Buying for long
account was encouraged by the posi-
bility of another cold wave in the cot
ton belt over Sunday, by better feel
ing regarding legislation, reports of
continued high prices and heavy de-
mand in cotton goods and rumors of an
increased export movement out of this
port. Highest levels were reached late
In the session when active months were
Ga to 20 points over yesterdays close.
Last prices showed net gains for the
session of Sc to 60 points.
The large mill takings for the week
by northern mills, attracted much at
tention. Hester put them at $4,000 bales
against $4,000 this week last year. They
intensified the effect of reports that
large quantities of cotton were loading
here for coastwise movement.
1t was a fairly lively market for a
weekend session and the undertone
was firm at all times.

DUCHESS OF KINGSTON.

Elizabeth Chudleigh, Duchess of Kingston, was the daughter of a Devonshire gentleman Her father
 obtained for her position as maid
 of honor to the Princess of Wales, where her beauty soon attracted many admirers to her. Among them was the Duke of Hamilton, whom she
 married. after keeping her engage
 ment to him secret for a time, while the Duke set out for a tour of the continent. In his absence Miss Chud- leigh married Captain Hervey, son of the Earl of Bristol. They both re-
 gretted the step, however, and she
 succeeded in having the marriage rec ord destroyed by tearing a leaf out of the register. Captain Hervey soon succeeded to the title and honors of
 the Earldom of Bristol, and the young woman bribed the clerk to replace the record of her marriage. She later met the Duke of Kingston, with who she had an "affaire," and the
 Duke of Bristol divorced her, as had the Duke of Hamilton. She married the Duke of Kingston, and when he died she went to live in France, where
 she was the heroine of many adven- lures. She died about 17S0.

that have been invented by women fruit crushers, ironing appliances and others.
 But perhaps the most important of all inventions, because of the far reaching effect was the cotton gin. This was perhaps the greatest labor saver of any time, and woman was responsible for 1t.
 Mrs. Catharine Littlef1eld Greene, the\ widow of Gen. Greene of revolu- tionary fame, was actually the invent or of the cotton gin, although the machine was developed by man, and he has generally been known as it's in- ventor. Mrs. Greene was-a woman of great capacity and intelligence, keen observer and an excellent busi- ness administrator of her estate. She lived in Georgia, and had a large cot ton plantation there.
 One day she watched a negro sep arating the seed from the cotton. As she watched him patiently and slowly separating the seeds she became ap- palled at the tremendous amount of time this tedious labor consumed. She thought over the matter a long time, and gradually she developed an idea which resulted-a machine that would do the work of hands far better and quicker.
 At that time young Eli Whitney of Connecticut boarded with Mrs. Greene and she asked him to build model of a machine that she had designed. MT. Whitney set to work and built a small model. But for some reason or other the teeth would not work, and after laboring over 1t a few days MT. Whitney decided 70 abandon the plan. But he had not counted on Mrs. Greene. She was absolutely firm in her faith that the machine could be made to work, and relent- lessly she kept him at his task. In- stead of the wooden teeth used in the original model, she suggested he use wire teeth. He tried it, and within 10 days from the time Mrs. Greene first thought of the cotton gin, a small but perfect model was com pleted. This model enabled one worker to clean 300 pounds of cotton a day instead of one pound. It is in- teresting to note that so excellent was this machine that there have been no radical changes in its manufacture, and all cotton gins built subsequently, were based on Mrs. Greenes original model.
