New Orleans Cotton

New Orleans, February 19.-The fluctu- ations in cotton today carried the market from moderate net declines in the early trading to moderate net advances in the late trading. It was much of a trading market, and business was plainly re- stricted by the triple holidays following the close tomorrow. New Orleans will close both Saturday and Monday in ob- servance of the anniversary of the birth of Washington. The early decline amounted to 6 to "A points, and the late advance carried prices Il to 32 points over yesterdays close. Last prices showed ret gains of to 24 points,
 Unsatisfactory cables, the easier reel ing reported in the cotton goods mar kets of this country and the better weath- CT over the belt stimulated the selling of the session. The buying power came mainly from the better turn taken by labor conditions through the settlement or the dock strike here and the settlement arrived at in the railroad labor dispute Toward the middle of the day the market commenced to take on decided steadi- ness. and it became strongest after the noon hour, when March traded up to 37. .65c. being the strongest month on the boards Spots were unchanged at S.15c for middling.

The general market closed steady, net 15 points higher to 1 point lower. with near months relatively firm.
 There appeared to be a good deal of nervousness at the start, owing to dis appointing Liverpool cables, the unset tied opening of the stock market and overnight selling orders brought in by yesterdays talk of an easier spot basis. The opening was to 10 points lower and active months soon sold some 20 to g points below last nights closing figures, with March declining to 36. 2Sc and July 10 31 S5c Liverpool was a moderate buy CT of old crop months on the decline however, and prices steadied on. covering by recent sellers.

The close was a few points off from the best under realizing Both the american mar kets will remain closed from Friday night until Tuesday morning, while Liverpool will be open on Monday, and the bulk of today's business was attributed to the evening up of commitments.

TALON OF infantry at the edge of the

i've was the railroad between Belieau
and Bouresches. Zero hour was to
have been at a. M. but something
held it up, so it was about 9,15 that
the advance was ordered.
We hoped off" in skirmish-line
formation with the first waves. The
Germans opened up at once with ma
chine guns-they had a great number
Of them in nests. In the excitement
Of the moment there was a mix-up.
and our platoon had to take over
whole company sector on the left of
the infantry battalion. Our intervals
tspace between men advancingl were
therefore extended.
One by one they began to get us.
Those machine guns were terrible. The
drst man on our right was Jimmy"
Walsh, then Fat" Mccain, then Harry
Stephan. McCann was hit quite badly
in the leg. so lay down to rest. A
boche machine gun just across the
railroad in a clump of woods got him.
Walsh was good and mad, and started
for that gun. Now. he knew that be-
hind that gun there were probably
three or four of the enemy They had
a machine gun. All he had was rifle
and bayonet. Yet that boy. the same
as every other American boy over
there, knew he was master of any
three or four huns that ever lived. 1t
was not bravado; it was his honest
to-Gawd feeling, for he went after
them! Jimmy got to the railroad and
erawled over it, dragging his rife after
him. Then he got his. His right arm
and hand were hit. He realized that
the odds were against him then. as he
couldn't use his rifle. He abandoned
il, crawled back to where McCann was
lying, pulled out his first-aid. and ban
3aged up McCann's leg. Then he
yelled to Slepian:-
Hey, Sleepy, come on over and help
NE get Fat out of here"
These two boys got Mccain around
the shoulders, rose and ran ten feet,
and dropped. AS soon as they stood
up the boches opened up. BY fast ad-
vanees of a few feet at time, they
finally carried Mccain to the Bois de
Belleau. There they found a stretcher

they got to the first-aid station. Nc

Walsh finally said to the medical Of
feer;-
Lieutenant, is McCann fixed up all
right?'
Yes. we're finished with him"
: Then would you mind looking at
my arm? Somebody hit it awhile ago"
Jimmy" Walsh was in Ellsworth
last week. The unassuming young
man who came down here with Mr..
Bellatty to arrange for the summer
school was the same Jimmy" of
Capt. Swans company. He has been
decorated with the distinguished SER
vice cross and the croix de guerre.
Even Mr.. Bellatty did not know of
this little incident in "Jimmy's" SER
vice until The American called his
attention to it in Major Swans book
a day or two ago. Jimmy" had not
said anything about it; and we have
a suspicion that he may go after The
American editor as he did after those
huns when he reads this. But we
will take chances. We want the peo-
pie of Ellsworth to know Jimmy"
and to know that there are lot
more like him in the bunch of boys
who are coming down here for the
