May did not show any real activity. July traded as low as 26.7oc and closed at 26 .74c; October trad ed down to 23.72c and closed at 23.75c.
 Much of the selling stimulated by the comparatively dry weather in Texas and by the forecast of fair weather for both Texas and Oklahoma. Selling in creased on the receipt by brokers here of messages from Fall River telling of short time in prospect among cotton mills there. and the heaviest offerings were caused by the news of the bill introduced in the Texas legislature taxing future contracts to the extent of 5oc Il bale. The feature resulted in great deal of liquidation of long contracts and by some brokers regarded as the main depressing in- fluence of the day.
 The market was not in shape to respond to the unfavorable rains in central and eastern portions of the belt, with prospects of more rain to come over Sunday and little support derived from favorable rumors regarding pending peace negotia- tions in Europe.

SHARP BREAK M COTTON RESULTS FROM REALIZING

NEW YORK, April 2S.-There was very sharp break in the cotton market this morning as a result of heavy liquidation or realizing and scattered selling. Stop orders were uncovered on the decline, which ex- tended to 2S.13c for May and 243Oc for October, and last prices were within point or two of the lowest, the market closing at net losses of 4S to 72 points,
 The market opened steady at an advance of to 16 points on the rather unfavorable showing of the weather map which indicated rains in northern parts of the central belt with some showers in eastern belt regions and in the southwest. The outlook, however. was for more fla quickly weakened under realizing for over the weekend. Offerings be- came more active and urgent as prices worked lower. and the sell ing was evidently promoted by re- ports that some of the Fall River mills were beginning to courtail their operations and that others might take similar action next week. This indication of lessening activity in the domestic mills, combined with the recent falling off in the export move ment, evidently encouraged bearish sentiment around the ring, and the market also seemed to be stimulate ed by reports that leading bankers were opposed to making credits available for the purpose of speculation in commodities. The latter feature was considered as responsible for some of the Wall street selling while scat tered selling of May contracts was accomplished by rumors that cotton was being shipped here from the south and from some New England mill points for delivery. May broke to 2S.13c, or 72 points net lower and a little more than a cent from the high point of Thursday. while July showed net loss of "A points. New crop months were relatively steady but showed net losses of 4S to 5l points under liquidation. Sales of print cloths in the Fall River mar ket for the week were estimated at only 4,000 pieces following several weeks of very small transactions. and reports that four of the Fall River mills were curtailing, were regarded as indications of unwllingness to ac- cumulate stock of manufactured goods. made from old crop cotton.

CHICAGO. April 2s.-Although this weeks butter market was more steady than in the preceding seven days. the net results were declines.
 Throughout the week buyers were eau tious. Some demanded and received pro- lection against future declines. even to the extent of the entire time the butter remained in the buyers hands. That policy became less popular, however. as the week wore
 As whole the weeks market was weak and unsettled Ample stocks and steady increases in the market were given as two of the causes of that condition.
 Foreign butter again influenced the market. On April 24, 1.050 casks of Dan sh butter including 800 casks in bond for Canada arrived in New York. The shipment acted as a club over the market, increasing the sentiment for lower prices,
 Reports from all markets agreed that tho average quality of receipts had shown some deterioration. Many of the usually fine marks came in with early spring re- ceipts The quotation on s2 score stock at the four leading butter markets at yes terday's close was: Chicago 40c. poin; loss; New York 42c, 1a point loss; Boston 42c point loss, and Philadelphia Al lac, l point loss.

will be given by Miss Helen Morrison
ON the evening of Friday, May 4th, al
Massanutten Academy. This young
and earnest student has been working
during the winter on a program OF
music which would do credit to an
older and more mature musician. Her
numbers which have all been memo
rIzed have been taken from the works

be hoped that the people of Woodstock

this young artist the encouragement
she so well deserves. Miss Morrison
will be assisted by Miss Anna Snyder
