Cotton Market
Advance
Opens Steady at Net Decline of
One to Eleven Points

New York, May 5.-The cotton
market was comparatively quiet to-
day. Fresh business was probably re-
stricted by the fact that tomorrow
will be a holiday in the American fu-
lures markets. 1t seemed also that
scattering accounts had been pretty

week, fluctuations We're narrower for
some time with further realizing alb

The general list closed steady at a
net advance OF to 19 points.
The market opened steady at a
decline of l to II points and sold

response to somewhat disappointing
Liverpool cables and favorable

connections were good buyers here,
however, while there was a consider

companied by reports Of continued

demand soon took care of the early

The close was 10 or y points Of

trade seemed to be looking for a
more favorable weekly report from
the weather bureau on Wednesday
but the more optimistic view of new
crop possibilities was modified to
some extent by the report Of a SOUTH
ern authority indicating a reduction Of
14.6 per cent. in acreage compared
with the reports of between II and i
per cent published late last week.

Down With Royalty
Busts of Kaiser and Crown
Prince Removed from Ger
man Schools

Coblenz, April 6-According to
German newspapers published in the
unoccupied districts beyond the
American bridgehead many school
masters during the revolution remov-
ed the busts of the Emporer and the
Crown Prince which decorated thier
class rooms. Some time afterward
the busts were restored to their places
but recently the Ministry of Educa-
ton has ordered them down again.
There was also proposal to change
the names Of all streets in Germany
named in honor Of royalties. This
has been met by the press with some
hilarity and suggestions that there
were more important topics for dis
cussion just now than that of the
names of the streets.

German Sugar Famine
Beet Sugar Factories Shut

Berlin. April 4.-The sugar famine

cause of the sugar shortage, the ma

Political and industrial disturbances

running on short hours.
Large quantities OF sugar are said
to have disappeared mysteriously or
to have been confiscated by local SOL

OLD co. HOSPITAL
BUILDING BURNED

Had there been one fire hydrant
within reaching distance of the old
county hospital the building would
probably be standing today. Fire was
discovered little after midnight yes
terday morning in a shed used for
storing purposes behind the hospital
building. The chemical truck and
firemen answered the alarm promptly,
attaching the hose to the nearest
hydrant. One thousand feet of hose
was paid out, but it fell short of the
fire by two hundred feet. Chemical
was used, but the fire had gained too
much headway. 1t was necessary to
bring up another reel of hose, and by
the time this had been done the build
ing was a mass of flames and the
only work then left to do was to keep
the fire from spreading to adjoining
buildings.
The destroyed property was To-
Gated upon East Second street and
was owned by T. HI. Shone. Mrs. A.
Mahaffey leased the building and con-
Quoted it as private hospital. Her
loss is estimated at $500. Mr.. Shone
carried insurance which will repay
about half of his loss, he estimates.
Most of the furniture, etc., was re-
moved intact The building was of
twelve rooms.
Much comment is heard upon the
fact that this fire occurred exactly
one year after, and at the same hour,
that fire broke out and destroyed the
Ell Dorado Hotel.

The county commissioners held
their regular monthly meeting yes
terday, Commissioners Trousdale and
Ebert being in attendance. Commits
sioner Peterson was in Carson City,
working against the county division
bill. Allowing county bills consumed
most of the session.
George II. Clark was the success
full bidder for the county pest house,
his bid being for s165. The building
and grounds were sold to him for
that amount. John See was the next
highest bidder.
The application of DR.. John T. Rees
OF McDermitt for appointment as
county physician and health officer Of
that section was denied.
One thousand dollars was ordered
transferred from the redemption fund
to the judges salary fund.
County Clerk Davey was granted
permission to purchase a new type
writer.
Application Of Mrs. Pauline Lusar-
reta for mothers allowance was
again laid over.
A communication was read from
the war department asking for data
to be used in making a war map. A
rough estimate of the labor necessary
to secure this data is that one person
would be employed for about three
weeks gathering same and an expense
of $4,000 to $4,000 would be incurred
for surveying. 1t was decided the
matter would be too expensive for
the county. but that any data avail
able now will be forwarded.
Humboldt county's budget for the
next year was scheduled to come be-
fore the commissioners yesterday, but
1t was finally decided to recess until
March 20 for that purpose.

RENO NOT SLATED
FOR CHAMP FIGHT

Regardless of what action the Leg
islature may take regarding the box
ing bill which the Governor vetoed,
and which Is now awaiting the action
of the Senate, it is very improbable
that any big fights will be staged in
Reno, according to local promoters
and the sport writers all over the
country.
Two big bouts have been looked
forward to by the local fans, and
now both seem very remote. Leon
ard does not want to fight Ritchie,
according to the San Francisco pa
pers. and his manager states that he
is going to take Leonard East, where
he can make more money in a few
exhibition bouts than in a champion
ship battle at Reno.
The Willard-D Dempsey fight is just
as uncertain. Tex Rickard, who is
promoting the fight. has announced
that he will probably accept an offer
from Oklahoma to have the fight in
that state. Halifax, N. s., has also
made a substantial offer, and both
places, Rickard says, are better situ-
ations than Reno. Oklahoma is a
far more centrally located place, he
declares-and then, besides, there is
that fat guarantee.
II do not think that Reno has a
chance of staging any big fights"
said a local promoter. Both the
Willard-Dempsey and the Leonard
Richie battles are too remote, and
it is practically settled that the first
will come off in Oklahoma. and that
the second has not even been signed
up, with small chance of it being so.
We may get few 'ham-and-eggers,'
but that's all."-[Reno Gazette.

The following lengthy letter from
