BlBB COUNTY MINERS
 ARE IN NEED OF HELP

Centreville, April 14. Special. .)-- The condition of the striking miners and their families in this county has grown serious since food is no longer furnished them by the United Mine Workers association. There are three camps in Bibb county and as the min CTS have been on a strike for several months, most of them were absolutely dependent upon the food furnished by the association.
 Most of the mines in this county are idle and the merchants claim that they are not able to give credit to these striking miners on account of the stringency of money matters. What the end will be, 1t is idle to predict Bibb county probably has suffered more on account of the protracted strike than any other county in the state as, this strike affected every mining company in the county with one exception.

NEW YORK COTTON Ry Asaacfofaf Dr~..
New Orleans Cotton
By Associated i'ress

New Orleans, April 14.-Declines ! cd in the cotton market today from the opening to the close with the weakest period in the last half hour of the day when the trading months were 3l to S5 points under the close ot yesterday with May down to 1140c Last prices were at losses of 30 to g. points with May at 11.43c. The unfa- vorable labor situation in Great Britain was the main influence working against values.
 On the opening some little selling came from those traders who bought late yesterday on the rumors that the British coal strike had been settled Further selling was encouraged by the poor Liverpool market and by the dis appointing showing of the census bu- reau report for March on American mills, placing consumption at 437933 bales, which was about 10000 bales under general expectations. The mar ket was steadied at the decline by cablegrams from Liverpool, saying that Manchester was doing a better busi- ness and reporting signs that the boy cot in India against British goods was breaking up.
 Small recoveries were made from time to S}Ae, but nore of them lasted Some of these small upturns were due to the continued rain over the belt. moisture being regarded as detrimental in most sections. From Texas there were continued accounts of planting being held up by .wet soil and in some important sections of the state it was that planting probably could not be resumed for a week or 10 days.

Sugar Market

n New York, April 1.-The raw sugar 'enarket was unchanged at 42c for Cubas, cost and freight, equal to 5.Tc for cen- . trifugal as quoted by the committee, while uncontrolled sugars are offered in increasing volume at 1sc below this quo- station, or 5.64c for centrifugal. There were no sales of Cubas, with interest --csntered in the uncontrolled sugars ow- ing to the lower prices prevailing, with sales of $500 bags of San Domingoes and 3,0S0 bags of Colombian reported to local refiners. ss @#i
 In refined list prices were unchanged at 7.65c to Sc for fine granulated, al- though some secondhand sugars are said moreto be selling at 7.55c. The demand continues light. Trading in futures was more active and prices with the excep- tion of April, easier, owing to the inS creased offerings in the spot market. Prices were points higher for April on the opening call and advanced points further on covering by trade interests, while other positions opened to l2 points lower. but subsequently, all posi- tions weakened under scattered selling by commission houses, and closing prices were unchanged on April and ' to + points lower on distant positions. Final bids: May, 4.5Sc; July, 4.6sc; September, gee.

Neither Money Market Nor Foreign Exchange Figured
 to Any Extent In the ;, Days Operations
By AssoeIated Press

New York, April 1.-The stock market
 resumed it's reactionary course today,
 rails, steels and affiliated issues again displaying pronounced weakness at net srecessions of to 41s points. Commodity : markets, especially grains, also were un- settled.
 Factors which have served more par ticularly in the last week to depress general economic conditions were again effective. The British labor conflict and the urgent financial requirements of va rious railroads and industrial concerns assumed graver aspects. . Shorts uncovered new. elements Of weakness in the market. directing their !. energies in part to the shares of com panies whose future dividend disburse- ments are reported to be more or less
 doubtful because of poor earnings. Conspicuous features of the broader re- Versal embraced number of high-grade transportation, especially Canadian Pac- . fife, Delaware and Hudson and Louis- vile and Nashville. Among the weaker industrials and specialties were crucible, Sloss- Sheffield and United States Steel Pressed Street Car, Pullman and General
 Electric.
 r Sugars, tobaccos, utilities and finally
 the oils and motors also gave way. Low est quotations of the season were made III the last hour. Supporting orders then were negligible at best nervous tone prevailing at the close. Sales amounted to 575,00O shares.
 i. Neither the money market nor foreign exchange figured to any perceptible ex- !. tent in the days operations. Call and time funds were unaltered, but interna- tional remittances were firmer the Ital- ian rate making further advance. Conforming to the heaviness of stocks, numerous railway bonds tended down ward, especially convertible issues. Lip- erty bonds were mainly lower, but ln- ternationals were inclined to further im- provement. Total sales. par value. were
