MYSTERY H0VERs OVER LAKE !
Body Of Water In Central Africa Has
Most Curious Effect on Mlnds
Of Travellers.

Gold and gray are the waters which
Lake Tchad spreads over the lowlands
Of central Africa. The traveller In
Africa finds the mystery Of the dark
continent more haunting and unfath-
omable here than In the battling ma1es
Of the jungle or in the silent smile Of
the sphinx. Heavy winds toss the
shallow waters about and whisper their
secrets through the reeds. But the
lake makes no answering condolences.
It stretches on and on, measuring Its
miles Of surface in sweeping wave
lengths.
As far as the eye can see ahead are
the reeds and rushes reaching up
through the water in tangled masses.
Here and there the line Of the gray ex-
panse is broken by slender islands
bearing up a few round-topped native
huts, outlined dimly against the sky
line. The effect is that Of painting
seen through gray glasses, reducing
the whole to q low key. 1t Is in the
grayness that the lakes effect Of mys-
terry lies, the grayness that hovers
dull and cherries over waving reeds.
The traveller gazing across Lake
Tchad for the first time feels the thrill
Of discovery. The knowledge that he
is not the first to stand upon the banks
does not dispel the feeling Of entering
the most shut-off place In central
Africa.

crop already up. The fact, however,
that primary receipts were In excess OF
last years figures and that good
sized increase was looked for in the Wis

about free selling, which more than

New Orleans. April 19.-The early trad

but later the market steadied up except
on the May positions, which at no time

8 points off, net, while other months

1t was generally considered that the
opening decline was part OF yesterday s
selling movement. The demand that came
in as prices fell off appeared to be from
shorts who wanted their profits over the
weekend. In the afternoon the buying
power of the market was increased by

Washington Looks for An
other Cold Wave in the
South With Damage

New York, April 19.-The cotton mar
ket was less active and excited today.
There was a sharp early break, but Of
ferings were very well absorbed around
2770c for July, and that position later
sold up to 2S55c, or II points net higher
Closing prices were a few points off from
the best under realizing and renewal
of Liverpool selling, but the market was
finally steady, net 10 points lower, to
"a points higher. July closed at @.S9c'
or within points of last nights close,
While new crop deliveries showed net
gains of 10 to "a points.
It was believed that Liverpool was in
fluenced by the introduction in Congress
of the bill seeking to fix price of 70
cents for cotton reported yesterday. Any
nervousness felt locally over this propo-
sition appeared to have subsidized over
night but houses with English connec-
tons were very heavy sellers and the
talk was that they were hedging spot
holdings in the south for which there
seemed little immediate prospect of Sc
curing tonnage. May quickly broke to
2S. zoe and October to 266Oc. with the
three active months showing net losses
OF so to IS points, but as soon as the
heavy offerings had absorbed the list
with the prospect for unfavoraple
weather and bullish spot advances. Jap
anese interests were again credited
with buying, while there was more de1
mand from domestic trade sources and
covering during the afternoon. Con-
tracts were comparatively scarce. with
the result that prices worked easily up
ward to 2S.S4c for May, or points net
higher, while October sold at Ease, or
43 points above last nights close. wash
ington advices were reassuring as 10
prospects for price fixing, but the main
ia ctor was considered the outlook for an
