COTTON QUOTATIONS
ARE LOWER TODAY
Probable Showers in South and
Poor Cables Prove De-
pressing.
BY the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, March 12.-The cot
ton market opened steady today at
an advance of points to a decline
of points. There was little
covering by near month shorts at
the start, but the demand was soon
supplied. The general list sold about
5 to 15 points net lower after the
call under renewed liquidation pro-
NOTED by relatively easy Liverpool
cables and the forecast for showers
in east Texas. Selling was not active
or general, however, and after easing
off to 1855 for May and 1856 for
October the market held fairly steady.
Liverpool reported the decline there
was due to freer offerings of spot,
a less active spot demand and SELL
ing by the continent.
New Orleans Values.
NEW ORLEANS, March 12.-Al-
though Liverpool cables were about
as due, the cotton market had an
easier start, due to weather condi
tions. The Government forecast called
for rain in south Texas. First trades
were l to points down, and the
market sagged, May dropping to 25.6s,
July to 1884 and October to 25.07,
or down IL to Is points from yes
terday's closing levels. BY the end
of the first half hour of trading
prices had rallied to points from
the lows.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
BALTIMORE, March 12.-With part
of December's returns estimated the
Washington, Baltimore and Annap-
szElectric Railway carried 4,479,919
passengers last year, compared with
4,644,472 revenue passengers in 1928,
according to advance reports of the
yearly statement soon to be issued.
Despite the industrial depression
which occurred during the Midsum-
mer months of 1924, particularly
noticeable in this locality, these
figures would indicate that the COM
pany suffered but a small decline in
passenger traffic. Increased rates
granted by the Maryland Public Serv-
ice Commission in 1924 were beneficial
to the company only during the final
half of the year.
The company has approximately
1900 stockholders.
Preliminary figures show that the
pay roll in 1924 totaled S1,195.951, and
that Federal, State and local taxes
amounted to s105,000.

NEW YORK, March 12.-Interest
in today's bond market was confined

more or less speculative.

over two points, approaching their

CHICAGO, March 12.-Largely be-
cause of relative frmness of Liver
pool quotations, the wheat market
here averaged higher today during
the early dealings. Offerings were
light and were readily absorbed.
Some notice was taken of announce
ment that with the exception of one
year the amount of domestic wheat

season been the largest on record.
Opening quotations, which ranged
from y cents decline to u cent
advance. with May, 1872 to 1872 As, and
July 1901 to Isl, were followed by
moderate gains all around, and then
something of a reaction.
Corn was easier, considerable SELL
ing being done on the basis that
present stocks are more than suffi-
Client for the demand. After opening
unchanged to II cent higher. May

NEW YORK, March 12.-The stock

sequel in higher prices for number

Operations for the rise were resumed
in special cases, while the general body

Public enthusiasm for the low

aroused again by the Rock Island

Southwestern ran up nearly
points and Rock Island over 2.
The stocks most affected by merger
gossip were the Missouri Pacific COM

common was that it had probably in

such price of SIS had a good deal
more than discounted the stock divi-
dend. There was a rush to sell to-
day, under which the stock broke
almost as violently as 1t had gone up.
Public Utility issues were actively

NEW YORK, March 12-SeveraI
large brokerage houses attribute the
recent weakness of the stock market
to a combination of developmen nts,
which. however. has resulted in an
orderly recession. Little forced
liquidation has been noted, it was
said, but there has been a great deal
of short selling, with the result that
the short interest is now larger than
1t has been for some time. Heavy
selling by professional traders was
reported in such issues as United

Life Worth Living.

Ii we gave unto the living
AS we lavish on the dead,
Kindly thoughts and gentle phrases,
Tender words and friendly praises
Blotting out of all moerfections,
Holding virtues up to light;
If we left no daily token
Of our love and care unspoken-
Then would life be we'll worth living
In world all glad and bright,
If we offer to the living
AS we reap upon the dead,
Fragrant flowers of affection,
Blossoms of sweet recollectionsji
Waiting not till hands are folded
On the quiet, pulseless breast.
Then the passion of our pleading
Would not fall on ears unheeding,
Nor our tears, unavailing
On the weary form at rest,
If we gave unto the living
AS we lavish on the dead,
All our hearts long-hidden treasure,
All loves full unstinted measure,
Adding, day by day, new jewels
To the crown of human bliss
Then ife's burden would weigh lightly
And the sun would shine more brightly
And not heaven itself were fairer,
Than world as glad as this.

cause and, if neglected, there is dan

added: Il have not lost confidence

the head with his tongue. When the
reporters interviewed him on his
birthday he said "The world is NOV

lions for our comfort and conven-
fence that l find it hard to keep pace"
In other words, we are approaching

children who never had had enough
sugar and suddenly were given access
to a whole barrel-"where it amt
sweet no more"

to what some of US have been wond-

figure out why all these marvellous

for using the way of ease of living
and added time for certain things
crude methods used to crowd out. II
would seem reasonable to assume that
such flood of them, covering every
phase of everyday needs, would calm
and soothe us, whereas the doctors are
beginning to say we'll all end in in
sane asylums if we don't lead less
hectic lives.
This thing of trying to keep up with
modern conyeniences and enjoy half
miraculous comforts is getting on
our nerves. Progress is setting too
swift pace. We have so many places
to go, and motors have made going
so easy, that we just can't get to
half of them. We're cursed with and
tangled in inventions. We're cursed
with conveniences. And comforts are
so numerous that we wear ourselves
out testing them. One is reminded
OF Ebert Hubbard's favorite saying
"One horseshoe is good luck a load
OF horseshoes is junk" Philadelphia
North American.
