such a position that they could lose
half Of their remaining games and
still cop the flag. The Louisville
team began its eastern invasion
against Hartford, although the games
were played on the Mutual grounds
in Brooklyn. Errors caused the Col

the weak Hartfords. On the follow

bet heavily on Hartford, certain
members OF the Colonies again made
errors which lost the contest. So It
continued. the Colonies losing seven
straight games against much weaker
clubs. Devlin. the star twirler OF the
Louisville team, seemed suddenly TO
have lost all his cunning. and other
members OF the team played like

Pressure Brought Against Industrials and Specialties
 With Market Unstable

New York, May 2.-The strength of rails and renewal of pressure against in- dustrials and specialties were the sharply defined features of today's active but unstable stock market.
 These divergent movements were re- garded as the direct result of such re- cent developments as the railroad rate increase and the governments proposed taxation programme, the latter bearing most heavily upon war shares and kin dred issues.

CROP ADV|CES GOOD WITH LIGHT SELLING
Rumors of an Investigation of Cotton Exchange
 Methods Heard

New York, May 2S-Favorable weath- Ter conditions and crop adviees failed to inspire much fresh selling in the cotton market today and prices ruled generally steady to firm on covering and trade buying. July contracts sold up from 24.S5c to 24.90e, and closed at MSS with the general list closing firm at net advance of 23 to SS points.
 The market opened barely steady at a decline of to 1s points and sold About IT to 20 points net lower right after the all in response to relatively easy cables, the favorable weather map, expectations of a bearish weekly report from the weather bureau to- morrow, and there may also have been some nervousness over the war situa- tion. These early offerings were soon absorbed, however, with the market turning firmer on reiterated reports of an improving trade demand. Some pr the advices received from the south said there was not only a better spot demand, but that spinners were show Ing more interest in early crop deliv- cries There were also reports of sales out Of the local stock which probably increased the uneasiness of July shorts, and further slight widening of the differences applied to deliveries on contract tending to further strength en near month values in relation to middling.
 After showing net gains of about E1 to S6 points. the market eased slightly on reports of an agitation in Washington for an official investiga- ton or cotton exchange methods but later reports were received that prom inent congressmen knew of no such action pending. and the highest levels or the day were reached in the late trading with October selling at 2S73c, and December at 23.5oc, or about 30 to 40 points net higher and 120 to 1855 points above recent low levels. A re- port issued by prominent southwest ern authority placed the cotton crop condition at S0.6. or about in line with recent figures, but was less favorable as to acreage, which 1t estimated al below that of last years

| New Orleans, May 2S.--Covering of the short interest put cotton to higher lev els today in the face of favorable weath- CT conditions and expectations of fair ly high condition report to May 25 from the government After a decline of 10 to
 B points around the opening the market did better and continued to gain ground until late in the day. when it stood at it's best, net rise over yesterdays close of 2 to 49 points. The close was 9 to 45 points up..
 The opening decline was in response to the Adorable weather map, but the de- mand for covers soon made itself felt and from then on shorts put prices up on themselves. In tho early afternoon the market was duh and inclined to sag but the quoting of spots 25 points higher put new life into the trading. A sharp bulge featured the last few minutes of trading.
 The announcement from Washington that the investigation of the cotton mar kets would begin at once was received with interest, but had no effect on actual trading. Shorts were induced to cover by the bullish spot news and by the holi- day Thursday. Bullish traders claimed that the events of the day were due to an oversold market trying to recover it's balance.

In the desert of western Australia there are wells which yield water only at night. Before the water begins to flow, weird hissing and the sound of rushing air may be heard. The phe- nomenon is believed to be due to a change in the form of the rocky chan nel through which the water flows. and to the extreme change in temper ature between day and night which oe- CUTS in this region. The hissing is duo to the escape of air before the advance of the water.

Rails Stiffen On Rate Increases
 With Pressure Against Industries

 Rails up and industrials and specialties down, summed up the situation on Wall street yesterday. Rails stiffened on gov ernment movements in rate increases. Substantial rallies were made on the general rebound of the noon hour. minor rails, like New Haven and St. Paul pre- ferred leading the rise. Among special ties Sumatra tobaceo's recovery of the greater part of it's 1l-point setback was the striking feature. Further recoyeries in the last hour carried rails to best prices, industrials and speeialties also extending midday rallies The closing was steady. Liberty 31sc sold at 99.69 to s9.sS; first fs at s4.SO to s4.65; second fs at s4.26 to 9452, and 4A's at 97.2O to s7.S2.

 X FAUX PAS"
 Before I close, let me tell you of an incident that happened a long time ago. Shortly after we landed on this side we were sent to an ancient city for awhile. We arrived at 1:30 a. m. after a long journey by train. As we were the first American troops to reach this particular place, the mayor and other dignitaries, civil and military, met us with a brass band
 gratulations we started on the march to our camp. As the column swept through the darkened streets, heads were thrust out of windows inquirifg what all the row was about. The Yankees have come, they were told.
 But when the band crashed out with an old familiar air we received a shock. The leader had laboriously taught his men a tune for the occasion in order to do us honor. But the selection was not a happy one. For he was leading an Alabama egiment through foreign city to the strains of Marching Through Georgia.
 When the mayor was later informed of this faux pas he was very much distresses:, until we assured him that we are all Yankees now.
 Well, eood-by at last. Regards to ali at the office. With best regards.
