SAME INFLUENCES
 OPERATING ON WALL .ySTREET IN STOCKS
Trading Lost None of Its Pro- 's fessionaI Aspects, Save In Certain Isolated
 Instances
By Associated Press

New York, February 1.-The same unstable influences which have oper- ated to the detriment of quoted values in the stock market for weeks past were effective again today, the trend of leading issues being mainly down. ward.
 Trading lost none of it's professional aspects. save in certain isolated in- stances, where persistent offers bore the marks of involuntary liquidation arising from fresh industrial unsettle- ment or dubious dividend prospects. 4 Organization of protective com mittee by prominent Reading share holders directed renewed attention to thea general dissatisfaction resulting from the proposed dissolution plan. The Reading group, more or less. substan- tially extended recent declines and other shares of the same class reacted, excepting Norfolk and Western.
 Weakness of specific issues, notably Central Leather common and preferred, Ajax Rubber and some of the less prominent specialties at extreme losses of 1 F to points, were accompanied by circumstantial reports of dividend re adjustments.''
 tIAlStluS COnQitlOnS Tn Lnc SLccl U doC We're reflected in the reduced dividend declared by the Cambria directors and a further increase of idle railway equipment evidenced the general cur tailment of manufacturing activities. Reversing it's order of the previous day the market registered lowest prices of the last hour. Maintenance of call money at per cent, as against yesterdays per cent rate, provoked further bearish aggressions, in which practically all gains were effaced at the --heavy close. Sales amounted to s00.000 shares.
 All the foreign exchanges weakened, notably French. Belgian, Dutch and Spanish remittances, and Scandinavian rates added to their recent setback The Bank of England, however, again strengthened it's liability reserves.
 Liberty issues and most other domes- tic bonds, including rails, were easier. the. foreign division also making frac- tional recessions. Total sales, par value $10.175,0o0.

New York, February 17.-tSpecial.)--- The market was quiet this morning, opening up 4 to points. Manchester views the situation narrowly and can see no immediate demand for cot ton. The market sold off trifle in the forenoon on no particular news at all In the face of all this constant bearish talk, large carry over. financi Il strain. etc. the market holds very well and is at present "lopsided' with discouraging news
 We feel the ultimate end will be a good demand from both foreign and domestic mills. for if the market does not decline from these prices with no demands at all then it is reasonable 10 assume that the slightest demand will cause an upturn.
 The market must be somewhat short after the recent decline, and these de- clines are bound to occur from time to time.--Hubhard Bros. X Co.

WOMAN ADOPTS
 ELEVEN BABIES
But Husband Who Had Supposed He Was Father of All, Became Sus- picious When Triplets Came, and
 Ordered Them Away.

Atlanta, Ga, Feb. 7--Harmony reigned in the little home of F. E. A. South here today.
 Differences between South and Mrs. South, which for time threatened to wreck the family marital ship fol- lowed the wife's confession that she had foisted eleven nameiess children on South as her own during the past "a years have been adjusted.
 The last obstacle in the way of re- conciliation was removed here today when the "triplets" which Mrs. South presented" to her husband January I were returned to the maternity hospi- tai.
 Six of the eleven children will be legally adopted in the South home, Mrs. South said Two of the eleven died years ago. Entry of the hos pital nurse into the South home to take away the triplets brought tears to Mrs. South's eyes.
 When the nurse and triplets had been whisked away in an automobile Mrs. South sank down in a chair and, hugging the tiny garments to her breast, she sobbed aloud:
 My husband ordered them away, but I shall keep these forever" she sobbed. Each little figure l have em- broidered with a mothers love and they will remain with me as token of mothers memory of her departed children"
 Outside the six other children who will be adopted in the family resumed their play.
 q am not superwoman, don't call me that" said Mrs. South to a ques- tion regarding her motives for bring ing the children into her home as her own.
 "A mothers love and desire to do something for those little innocent babes was my only motive. That l was imposing a hardship on my hus- band did not enter my mind. wanted him to love and care for them-that's why l deceived him by making him think they were ours.
 Efforts to induce Mrs. South to tell how she successfully deceived her husband were fruitless.
 Don't ask me, l won't answer that's my business" she said. Its settled now. l promised MT. South l would not present him with any more, ever

to 300 cars more than that market wants, not only will not sell, but the growers often have to send money to pay for the freight It hardly pays to raise fields of radishes or cucumbers or tomatoes to blow under to enrich the soil, alsbo this frequently has to be done when too many have been raised. A surplus of cotton is bad, but tomatoes or melons or other per ishable crops that cannot be sold are worse. GO SLOW.
 There are some communities in Ar kansas that have made money from truck crops and melons. There are other communities that make money by raising these crops for the first time m 1921, but they are few. No man or group of men should raise these crops this year for the first time without consulting disinterested ex- perts; being sure of their market be- fore even the seed is bought or the had prepared, and can afford to lose the crop if it is unmarketable because SLOW.
 The safest plan for most cotton growers is to raise all the food and feed they need, planting enough to have plenty if the yield should be low; raise in small way for sale, corn, hay, oats or some other crop that can be stored and plant a moderate acreage of cotton.

VILLA "RU|NED"
 MEXICAN REVOLT
Sent Messengers to obregon With "rips" on Arrieta Brothers Plot and the Armies, We'll Hemmed
 in, Melted Away.

City of Mexico, Feb. Tt was Francisco Villa who frustrated the plot of Gen. Domingo Arrieta and his brothers to start a revolution in Dur ango, according to reports received here tonight Villa, it is said, learned of what was on foot and sent his brother, Hipolito, and Pedro Zamora to the City of Mexico to warn the government of the impending danger
 This warning enabled Gen. Enrique Estrada, secretary of war, to take such effective measures that the Arrietas found themselves in a trap with al most certainty of capture and death as rebels if they went ahead with their revolt. For this reason they divided into small bands and retreated, manag- ing the retreat so that their followers melted away in towns and villages and left little to tell of the newest fiasco disgruntled generals.
 So They Denied the Plot.
 As soon as the Arrieta army was out of danger from the federal forces, Gen. Andres Arrieta, the diplomat of the Arrieta family, got into communi- cation with Gen. Anacleto Lopez, one of the commanders under Gen. Eu-
 f.su oaiupx cuionRetaonnnr genie Martinez, and announced that the Arlietas took no part in the revo- lution which came to an end so sud- denly.
 He did not tell the whereabouts of Gen. Domingo Arrieta and his other brothers. It is believed that these will remain in retirement until they learn whether the government is willing to accept Gen. Andres Arrieta's story and believe that the Arrieta's are loyal
 Is Murgia Intriguing, TooR
 Gen. Francisco Murgia's rebellion IS aparently moribund Since his failure to start revolt in Hidalgo and Goa hula, General Murguia's movements have been mysterious. No one here seems to know where he is now oper- ating. There are rumors that there IS great plot on in the state of Pueblo in favor of Murguia and that the attempt to hold up train near the city of Puebla was part of this con spiracy. Five men, captured when the train robbery failed, are reported. to have told sensational story of a widespread conspiracy before they were shot.

 IRISH and SWEET POTATOES, CANTALOUPES WATER MELONS
 AND
 TRUCK
 CROPS

Farmers, planters and groups of farmers in every one of the 69 cotton growing counties of Arkansas are planning to raise early Irish potatoes, cantaloupes, watermelons, truck, ber- ries, or sweet potatoes These men are cotton growers, some with large plantations and others with small farms, who cannot sell their cotton for half what it cost to raise it and are determined to raise some other crop to sell. We urge these men to GO SLOW.
 Consider the danger from over-pro- duction. Cotton growers from every county in every cotton-g growing state. from the western part of Texas to Virginia, are planning to raise these crops, and hundreds of organizations are being formed to market them. There are likely to be half million cotton growers in the United States who will raise truck or melons ot. i Irish potatoes for market this year Tor the. first time. The cities of the ] United States are generally we'll sup- plled every year with such foods. What price will they pay for the enor- nous addition to this supply that is likely to be made? GO SLOW.
 Corn. cotton, oats and hay are not perishable; they can be stored for weeks or months and can always be sold at some price. A car of toma- toes IS 8 bad loss if there is a glut in the market the day it is received. A ear of waternelons or cantaloupes that arrives in Kansas City, St. Louis, Chicago or any other large receiving market on a day when there are 50
