COTTON MARKET
Is LITTLE CHANGED
Moves Aimlessly in Narrow
Limits-ClOse Is 4 Points
Net Down to 3 Up.

The cotton market yesterday was
very little changed and moved rather
oimlessly in narrow limits. closing 4
points net lower to 8 points net higher
than II did on Wednesday. 1t was evil
dent from the markets late action, which
was upward for a small gain, that
shorts were still uneasy over their
position and that they did not like the
Indifference Of mills to the recent drop
in prices Reports that cotton goods
would be marked up after the holidays
also helped the bull element, as did re-
ports that mills were sold up generally
10 the end Of March and In certain
cases into April.
Scattered liquidation and Southern
selling in the forenoon was enough to
depress the list 10 to 90 points, but
with the temperance of supporting
power early In the afternoon the market
soon steadied. At the opening, when
active trading positions were TO 6
points net lower, December, the spot
position, was up 5, due to the decrease
Of nearly 10000 bales in the local in
spected stock.
Part of the pressure In the early part
of the session was the result of Liver
POOLS reaction after opening about as
expected. 1t was, however, largely offset
by the continued upward movement in
the stock market, which inspired con-
f'dence among bulls, who were weak
ening.
Bulls made much OF reports from the
South which told of Increased sales OF
spot cotton for export. Yesterdays
clearances were much moro than 80, 900
bales and bulls are hoping for consid-
cradle increase in the number OF bales
exported. Dispatches from Memphis
said that several Eastern mills were
seeking big blocks of cotton for quick
shipment. Total exports for the season
up to last night were 2,629,03O bales
in contrast to 2,143,000 exported in the
corresponding 1920 period.

two daughters. Proceedings have
been brought before Judge McKelvy
in the Saratoga County court to de-
termine the mentality of the entire
family.
In his investigation Mr.. Hennesy
learned that twenty years ago Miss
Hall was adjudged insane and kept

Neighbors recall that she was seen
about the house for a year or two

Pathetic Case

Schenectady, May 2.-when Will
liam Hennesy. superintendent of the
Saratoga Springs Humane society, was
admitted to a barred and locked room
In the home of the Hall family near
Round Lake yesterday morning, Miss
Jennie Hall, 81 years old, was so
frightened that she tainted. He was
the first man, and the second person
of any sex, excepting her mother and
two sisters, that she had seen in six
teen years, because during all of that
time she had been kept a prisoner in
the little room, with the door locked
and the window barred with heavy
slabs of wood that allowed only a
little light to enter. And in a COR
ner of the room was a cage of heavy
wire netting in which. Mr.. Hennesy
learned, the girl was confined at
night.
1t was with great difficulty that Mr..
Hennesy induced Miss Hall to talk to
him, as she seemed to regard him as
a being from another world, and did
not appear to comprehend when he
told her that he was a man. She
wore a child's sunbonnet when he
went into the room, and fiimsy and
insufficient child's clothing. She
looked tired and i'll nourished, and
was very pale and feeble. Because
OF her long confinement and lack of
contact with the outside world she
was not able to talk intelligently.
The case was brought to the atten-
ton of Mr. Hennesy and the Humane
society by a neighbor who, so far as
could be learned yesterday. is the
only person the girl has seen in six
teen years excepting members of her
