Changes Are Small
I'm Quiet Trading
I'm Cotton Market
Buying Believed To BE for
Japanese Account Only
Feature of Dull Session;
Closing Period Is Heavy

In comparatively small market
cotton prices were lower yesterday
and at the close showed MT loss
of to II points, with thetone barely
steady. About the only feature to the
market was the purchase in the first
hour of about 10000 bales Of July by
broker who frequently operates for
Japanese interests. The same inter
ests bought about 10000 bales of Oc-
tober on the break Friday afternoon.
Outside of this transaction the fore
noon trade was mostly Of local ma
ture, with Wall Street selling rather
freely in the last half hour, which ac-
counted for the closing heaviness.
At the opening the market was steady
at points advance TO / point decline;
at the time by the Fall River print cloth

the prospects for cooler weather In the
belt and there was scattered local cover
ing, which was supplied mainly by the
South.
Buying orders were filled rather easily
and commission houses furnished very lit
tie support, 80 that the market yielded
readily to subsequent pressure from Wall
Street and other sources 1t was evident
that the public ts awaiting a clearing UP

liticai situation before showing any great
interest in the market. The wage dispute

Saturday, likely to be arranged on basis

the 80 per cent reduction mentioned by
employers.
disappointment was expressed over the
Census Bureau figures on consumption for
April of a0S,8S3 bales in view of the re-

Business Crisis Closes
Many French Concerns

LONDON, May g. The London
Daily Telegraph's financial correspon-
dent writes from Paris that France is
facing period of severe business de-
preston and many commercial houses
are expected to close
Only the bigger stores, factories and
workshops with sufficient capital will
be able to ride at anchor until the gale
is past" he says. II have listened to
most pesslmistic predictions for the
coming months by experts in trade. In
the Chamber, NJ. Francois Marshal
stated that the crisis cannot seriously
lnJure those traders who have carried
on business, either as manufacturers or
merchants, on the sound and honest
principles in vogue before the war,
whereas he condemned those who have
speculated on the public misfortunes
consequent on the war by acquiring
large stocks, and who increase the sell
ing price. But these are struggling to
survive.
I'm one instance l know that the rep
resentatlve of good commercial house
offered reduction Of SO per cent on
several rolls of woven stuffs. and the
reply was that the buyers preferred to
wait, because prices must further de-
cline. 1t is SO everywhere; buyers are
ing to get credit wherever they can bv
clinging to their stocks of goods in
the hope that the fall in raw materials
and manufactured articles will be ar
rested, and the public and the trade
compelled TO pay at the high prices
upon which they relied
Notwithstanding the increased taxes
on all financial paper transactions, they
adopt the plan of drawing bills, which
are accepted by associates in the oper-
alton, and present this commercial
paper to the banks for discounting, lust
to gain ninety days grace. But the
banks now make difficulties, the Bank
of France leading. There are restric-
tions of credit Advances are usually
refused. Hence prices are on the
downward trend all round, Suites of
furniture are 40 per cent cheaper than
a few months ago, and 500 franc suit
OF clothes can be had for 400 francs.
Certain carpets cost one-fourth the
price Of last month. Sundry optical
articles are at less than half their re-
cent cost, but food still remains dear"

Alexander avenue, The Bronx, take a
package from truck belonging to
the Weber & Heilbroner store at 1906
Broadway, which was standing be-
tween Eighty-seventh and Eighty
eighth streets.
Enright jumped from the automobile
and ran after Burke, but Burke leaped
aboard southbound Madison avenue
car which was passing the corner. The
detective also climbed aboard the car
before Burke could close the door and
Burke then ran around the conductor
and dropped off to Madison avenue
with the detective at his heels. Mean
while Capt. Duane and Detectives
Mack and Smith had jumped from

them and ran east on Eighty-seventh

right plunged into 21 after Burke. while
the other three guarded the place from
the outside. But Burke apparently found

SLEUTH HIDES UNDER BED
5-Year-Old Lad, Whose Death
Was Threatened, Likely to
Be Returned To-day.

John Melchionne, an Italian laborer,
who told the police he lived at the
Victoria Lodging House, on the Bow
cry, just off Chatham square, walked
into the home of Salvatore Varotta, In
354 East Thirteenth street, last mid
night and told Varotta that he had
come for $500 Of the $4,000 ransom
demanded by the kidnappers Of Va
rotta's five-year- old son Giuseppe, who
was stolen as he played on his door
step on May "a. Varotta took the
man into a room, where Detective Pei
lagrino lay hidden under the bed, and
after, according to the police, Mel
chionne had admitted what he had
come for, the detective crawled out and
arrested him.
Almost at the same time Detective
Michael Fiaschetti and other detectives
of the Italian bomb squad arrested four
other men, two of them as they waited
below in the hallway for the return of
Melchionne with the money. the two
others in their homes near the tenement

them that he wrote the two black hand

Last Wednesday, the police say, Mel

would deliver the child to him on pay

have last midnight. This conversation
was heard by Mrs. Rae Nicoetti, a
policewoman, who had been spirited

Detective PeIlagrino entered the house
yesterday disguised as a plumbers
helper. and hid under the bed all day.
During the afternoon varotta went to
the bank and drew out $500 and to avoid
suspicion it had been arranged for the
bank TO mark the bills and note the num-
bers. Then the detectives hid near the
varotta home and waited for the kid
nappers to appear. They came on time,
and Mclchionne went upstairs while two
others remained downstairs. The re-
naming two went to their homes. almost
next door TO the varotta home, where
