NEW ORLEANS COTTON LETTER
{From Jno. F. Clark & Co.
RY Abe SilYer.l

NEW ORLEANS, April 28--Liver-
pool came six to Is better than due
and showed as much as 30 higher than
due at opening time Of our markets.
This action is attributed to the de-
cline in sterling rate and the follcw-
ing labor news.
The weather map showed generally
fair in the belt except the Atlantic
coast districts where cloudy, no rain
except the Atlantic coast section and
North Carolina.
Indications are for generally fair
and warmer the Eastern half Of the
belt, increasing cloudiness Western
states with the probability of some
rain over the Northwestern portion
Liverpool weakened sharply towards
the last closing prices. The market
prior to the publication OF the report
had rallied to within ten points Of
opening figures but broke sharply
about 40 points when the report con.
firmed the favorable views Of weather
and crop conditions which prevailed
last week.
| Moderate buying on the reaction
theory and unfavorable low temper
atures over the belt sustained the
market for awhile, but selling increas-
ed and when the weather map was
/ posted prices reacted from 40 to 81
points fro mthe first highs.
Feeling on the foreign situation
the proposed heavy tax on war pro
fits, and more generally reaction
AIRY tendency in many lines, were ex
pressed in the trading. New Yorl
says the reported agreement betweei
the shipping board and certain foreigl
steamship lines on trasatlantic cottol
44'rates, will result in the movement o
4 cotton through South Atlantic port
at lower rates than gulf ports.
! Former Senator J. Hamilton Levi
declares that president Wilson woul'
be a third nominee If war broke ou
IN Europe. as now seems inevitable.

DETAILS OF
 DISTURBANCES
Serious Trouble Experi- enced In Lisbon on
 Friday.

Madrid, March 22-Details of dis turbances at Lisbon on Friday and
 Saturday have been received here by
 courier and it seems that quite seri-
 ous disturbances have been exper- fenced in that city.
 At meeting of men employed i,,
 the building trades on Friday, a reso .
 lution was adopted in favor of ''rev .
 olut1onary general strike.'' Imme-
 diately afterwards street fighting took
 place and 130 persons were arrested
 During the melee there were shouts
 of long live Red Russia," but the
 crowd was scattered when mounted
 guards arrived. Soon after the guards
 arrived small bomb was thrown
 which slightly injured several per
 sons. The police drew a line across
 the street and permitted no one to
 pass or stand at windows. Those at tempting to disobey this order were
 fired upon and it required only a
 few minutes to clear the surrounding 2 territory.
 Further collisions occurred Sunday night and there were several explo- sions heard during the evening, it be- ing supposed that bombs had been thrown The principal square in the city was placed under military guard, the men being equipped with motor lorries and machine guns but there were. no untoward incidents late at
 night. Metal workers are said to have planned to pass resolutions in favor of revolutionary strike, and the chief of police has taken neces- sary precautions to prevent disor- ders.
 we do anot fear evolutionary strike" Premier Bautista is quoted as ! saying on Sunday. "The government | is prepared to accept the challenge l of the workers"
 l In the course of an interview the l chief of Police of Lisbon is said to l have declared Portugal generally and ] Lisbon particularly, was very quiet | considering the number of strikes in | progress.
 The general impression prevails | that an uprising is most improbable
 and that should any occupy they will 1 be confined to local disturbances | arising from strikes. The Republi-
 can guard has a concentrated force in Lisbon, this body being completely l purged of any monarchist reactionaiy l elements.
 ! Secret service agents are closely l watching ports for the arrival of sus- i pected foreigners. Hitherto undesir- 1 ables have been unable to gain ad- | n.ittance to Portugal.

THE WOMEN OF BUNKER
 HILL MONUMENT.

Mallet and chise1 hewed out the Bunker Hill Monument, but the
 needles of women were the shining
 tools that ensured it's success. t'The
 tardy pile slow rising" might never
 have stood before the generations if
 it had not been for women's work
 boxes The Bunker Hill Monument
 Association was incorporated in 1923
 Nothing further was done The cornerstone was laid, with Lafayette
 present But the project dropped. In 1928, funds were exhausted. The work was not resumed till 1894. In
 the sewing circles of Boston a thought sprang like flint and steel producing
 a spark, along a woman's needle Invite every woman in the land to contribute some article of her own production. The Fair, held by these i true daughters of the Revolution 1 was held in Quincy Hall, Boston, in 1S40. It netted S30,000. MT. Law ! renee and MT Trure had given S10,- ! 900 each-and now the Monument 1 building was carried forward. A | woman's needle is the Bunker Hill i Monument in miniature.
