WEATHER RULED
COTTON MARKET
Small Gains in Early Trading Were Off
set BY Sagaing Market
Later.

NEW ORLEANS, May 4.-Weather
conditions ruled the fluctuations in cot
ton today, small gains resulting in the
early trading from the cold weather over
the belt while in the late trading the
market sagged under the forecast of
warmer weather over the greater part OF
the belt. The weekly crop reports from
the government were considered unfayor-
able but resulted in little new buying.
The market closed at the lowest of the
day, at net losses of II to IA points, with
July at 1853.
With minimum temperatures last night
ranging from AZ to 5S degrees over all
but the southern portion of Texas the
early session heard much complaint OF
poor termination and slow growth OF
young plants from private sources but
after advances of to 10 points the mar
ket Quilted down and acquired tendency
to sag. July traded as high as 12.74
during this steady period.
Private reports of poor progress by the
crop were fully borne out by the official
returns but appeared to have been dis
counted. The forecast called for dry
weather over the cotton region which,
taken in connection with the outlook for
higher temperatures was considered very
favorable and likely to cause the crop to
make up some of its backwardness.
: After mid-session the market had an
easy undertone.

Wage Reduction by Steel Corporation
Has Little Effect on Market.
NEW YORK, May 4.-The trend of
today's stock market was somewhat
disappointing to those who expected
that dealings would be governed to a
preponderant degree by the 20 per cent
reduction announced by the United
States Steel corporation after yester-
days session. ~
Steels and kindred issues were quite
active and firm to strong at the outset,
but yielded in prominence and strength
later to various other stocks which
derived their chief support from pro-
fessianal sources. ae
Although the steel wage cut had been
clearly foreshadowed, it was properly
regarded as a constructive measure.
It's significance, it was argued in many
quarters, however, would have carried
greater weight II attended by a down.

FROM THE PUBLIC
On Capital Punishment.
To TINE EDITOR OF TIIE TIMES:

am with YOU heart and soul in tho fight that
YOU propose against capital punishment and ir"l
certain that YOU will eventually win in the u.l-
drrtHking.
why should civilization meet a murder with
another murder. why should brutal crime
cnIl forth a crime of greater and moro studied
brutality
Ia the case Of the two young mcu--tricd con
Victod aud awaiting their death by hanging
would not the ends of Justice be met 10y a CONF
mutation of the death sentence TO one or Hrc
imurisoumcutn Would not both the widows OF
tho murdered ulou iu one ease and the family or
the murdered Woman in the otuor. I've easier 'u
their own consciousness were these boys not
villrulIy hung by the neck until dead?
Without doubt. both boys deserve lifetime:
tnrir crimes wore tnstardiy and done iu cold
blood. and i'm one ease two women with children
wrrc left without main support.
Tho law can give these boys lifetime; IT,"
widows should be- alb" to sue aud recover good
damages. and tu, damages might DO collected
10y placing thrs. boys. while uudor their life sem
tcnrr. jn good trades and rroditmp their earn
lrgs over to the families OF ihoir haplrss victims
until the debit Wus paid tu run
sincerely hopr THAT YOU viii publish this and
that an attorury-ai law will take the matter up.
