.COTTON'S BULLEH
ACTIVITY CHECKED
Clearing Weather Forecast
And Liverpool's Dull Mar
ket Restraining Factors.

NEW YORK. April 5.-The cotton
market acted in a very disappoint-
ing manner today to the large buy
ers OF yesterday. who took the bull
side on the very heavy rains in
Texas Of Monday and Tuesday
morning. while more rains were
reported overnight from portions of
North Texas and the eastern part
OF that State with as heavy as 2k
inches at Shreveport. the official
forecast for clearing weather for
the whole OF Texas tonight and to-
morrow. together with Liverpoors
dull markets and the cntinued alb
sence of anything to indicate an
early end TO the strikes among the
numerous cotton mills in the New
England States! had a restraining
influence on further bullish activity.
The Liverpool markets did not full
ly respond in the way the trade
here had expected to the. very
heavy Texas rains of Monday and
yesterday. Spots there were but 5
points higher at 1856 for middling
with the days sales only 1000
bales. while futures closed quiet and
but s to 10 points higher for the
active trading months.
The worst feature in the situa-
ton at present is the unsatisfac-
tory condition Of the textile mar
kets at f1rst-hand. and the unsettled
labor conditions among the mills
through New England from the
continued deadlocked strike posi-
ton of the mills in Rhode Island
and New Hampshire. This Is keep
ing the spot demand from domestic
spinners on a continued quiet ba-
sis. thereby resulting in compara-
tivelN dell spot markets in the
South at a time when there Is gen.
orally free marketing OF spots by
speculative holders and factors pre-
limfnary to the new crop season.
Today's port receipts were 1896
bales against 1871 last week and
23.906 last year. There were no
port receipts posted up to 2 o'clock.
At the opening the market went up
4 to 8 points from yesterdays clos
ing quotations. May selling at 1907;
July. 17.44: October, 1928, and De-
cember. 1871. BY o'clock the mar
ket was back again to to 4
points under yesterdays closing
quotations on scattered local liqui-
dalton and fresh Southern selling
with May down to 1890: July, 1873;
October, 1924, and December to
1906, from which there was little
rally in the last hour.

 Judge Martin, due to his sunny nature, numbers his friends by the hundreds in Birmingham and other eitles where his reputation as a 9urlst and for fairness is known.

 Not only Is the weighing of evil dence in police cases speciality of Judge Martin, but giving advice to those who have strayed from the straight and narrow path is one of ms most noted achievements. Judge Martin when admonishing any one brought up before him, always ad- ministers it in such manner as to free his well chosen phrases of any beiligerent meaning and gently forces the recipient to acknowledge his erring ways and in every in stance exacts promise to "do better in the future"

In turn, she will forward them to headquar- ters. Her address is 1410 Twenty fourth street.
