HEAVY LOSSES

DELIVERIES

NEW YORK, April 2 0.N.SJ.
The cotton market was again un.
der pressure today, with traders
more prone to follow the weak
ness in securities rather than the
firmness in grain on the Chicago
pit. AS the session neared its
close, losses in most deliveries
were approximately so, cents a
bale.
Trading was only moderately
active. There was no unusually
heavy pressure, but support from
the trade was feeble. Most of the
contracts were supplied by local
traders and the South, while
there was moderate hedge selling
in evidence.
Near the close of the day, May
was off 10 points at $40, July
was down 8 at 500, October off
9 at 6.51, December off at
6.65, and January showed de-
cline of 7 points at 6.75.

WOOL MARKET DULL

BOSTON. April 2 GN.S).-DuIlness
of trade and weakness of prices in the
wool market continued throughout the
past week. Lower prices were ineffec-

and rejected extremely low bids. This
was followed by a few moderate pur-
chases to cover immediate needs.

| Heads are often shaken over the present age: lit is rebuked for "materialism" and, in the same
 breath assured that it is drifting straight towards
 material disaster and the dissolution of society as we have known it in the immediate past. It is a
 sick" world, frequtntly told; it pursues the wrong things and yet its health is not inn proved when it fails to get them. The diagnosis
 often seems little aundced international finance lis in Queer treet but it is arguable that personal happiness and efficiency stand a little higher than lever they did before. The American Consul Gen. Ieral in London, who is retiring this month after Ian acquaintance with England which dates from l886 is evidently of that opinion he has just ob- served to interviewer that the people he sees around him in London are better dressed than they were when he first arrived, that they look healthier, there is not so much drunkenness, and there appears to be more happiness" If he is right the drift is not all towards disaster; the economic situation is uncertain and involved but on the personal side have salved good deal that is worth having. And there is much obvious evidence in support of his view Embarrassed as we we do not accept the desttuton that was common to the London of Dickens. of Number B. John Street." as inevitable and beyond relief; the vast spread of the London suburbs alone
 indicates that, though the private fortunes may be fewer, there are far more people who are sure of a higher standard of living than was known to the past Health certainly improves; it is sta
 sticaly certain that the average expectation of life is longer change that is partly due to healthy and active habits prolonged from youth into the middle years. Such things do stand for happiness as happiness is known to average human beings. For the majority it is better London and better England to live in than those that were known to fiogarth Thackeray or the late Victorians It is not so nice, perhaps for the increasingly dis possessed minority, but on a wide view this 'sick world of is not without it's redeeming fea- lures.

Italy Bids for Passenger Traffic.
(New York Times.)

 Ambrose Lightship is separated by 32O0 nautical miles from Gibraltar and by 3,225 from Cherbourg. It will be nip and tuck between the Rex and her unfinished sister ship, the Conte di Savoia the southern course, and the Bremen and the Europa on the northern, with the advantage on the Italian side in weather and distance All four vessels have been designated to make the crossing in about four and a half days. Although the Italians disclaim any intention of competing for the blue ribbon of the turbines developing 125 900 horsepower in a hull of 54,000 gross tons speak for themselves Moreover, contract speed of twenty-eight knots agrees so closely with that of the Germany grey hounds that the Rex must be regarded as some thing more than just another fast, big luxurious ship Add to the picture the 7OoOo-ton super-Ie de France soon to be launched, and the coming years promise to be exciting on the Atlantic.
 Over year ago. Sir Percy Bates of the Cunard Company reminded his shareholders that blue rib bons pretty ornaments but their revenue value is indirect" although he willing to gamble on No 534-the provisional unromantc designation of a 73,O0O-ton hull which to cost $30000O00 and which was to eclipse any liner built in size, speed and luxury. Since then work on No 534 has been temporarily abandoned Neither the Brit sh Government, which had granted subsidy, nor the Cunard Company, any hope of profit in fast steamers while America was pungd in depression. Speed is notorously expensive and no large, fast ship has sailed with full complement of passengers on every voyage. One cannot but admire the courage of the Italians in the face of this de- cision, made by nation rich in shipping experience Some $40,000000 has probably been invested in the Rex and the Conte di Savoia-most of it Govern ment money The Italians are evidently convinced that blue ribbons are than pretty ornaments, and that speed may lure passenger trade to the southern route and thus justify expenditure which seems staggering at the present time. In the end 1 it is the American tourist who must pay for the Rex and her sister ship. Thus viewed, the two are not only symbols of Italian pride, ambition and enterprise but flattering manifestations of Italian faith in economic stability and ultimate finan- cia recovery.

When Representative John Charles Linthicum of Maryland, died a few days ago most newspapers and others remembered him as the Democratic House wet leader. few, very few, remembered him as the author of the legislation making Fort McHenry the guns of which stopped British fleet that was moving on Baltimore in the War of 1872 a Ma tional Monument and the Star Spangled Banner written in appreciation of Fort McHenrys effective defense against the British, the National anthem
 The New York Times calls attention to the testi monial of Secretary of State Stimson who reminded the country of other results from the long Con- gressional career of the hardworking and faithful Maryland Legislator. The Times said:
 Secretary Stimson has longer memory

 NO. Look here; it's nothing a dreams nothing-it can't hurt anyone-you've only got to wake up. Here's Bran telling you the same thing. He's most awfully upset about you"
 Bran had his forepaws on the bed again. Te tip of his tail moved depracatingly. He pushed his head forward and blew warm puffs of air at her hand, her arm.

 Leaning against his arm, and looking up at him with those un- naturally wide eyes, she said.
 T thought-you were dead.'
 Her voice was the lost ghost oi herself. He hardly heard the words yet they reached him, releasing some emotion which he did not understand. He did not try to understand it, but it reinforced that odd tenderness. .'

 That suggests that the United States was making wonderful progress toward temperance before the people began to force instead of persuasion and education to bring about better results There few who now do not admit that crime and other undesirable features have grown since the policemans club and intolerance have taken the place of preaching and reasoning in handling the liquor question:

either that day or some other day. She had had a shock, and was feverish, and she had got Leonard mixed up with her fever. She had had a bad dream about Leon- ard and had tackled it on to the things that had really happened.
 Jervis felt much better when he had settled this. It let Nan out, and it let Leonard out. It ex- 'plained everything perfectly.
 He got back to Weare to find the house dark except for a light in the hall. Monk had standing orders never to sit up. He put out the hall light, and went up ir the dark. AS he passed Mans door. he heard the thump of Bran's tail and faint snuffling sound. He said, Lie down, Bran. y
 AS he opened his own door, the sounds ceased. He put on his light and undressed. Before he got into bed he drew the curtains back, and fell asleep, while he was wondering why moonlight made everything so still.
 He walked with a start, he did not know how much later. Then he heard a sound-Bran moving in Mans room. Restless brute! But that wouldn't have walked him. He raised himself on his hand, and as he did so, he heard a cfOk- ing cry and in a moment was out of bed and at the door between the two rooms. It it was bolt ed. =.
 But it gave to his hand. He switched on the light, and saw Nan sitting up in bed under the crimson canopy; her eyes wide and blank with terror, and her lips parted in gasping cry. Bran with hs forepaws on the bed, was whining and licking frantically at her hair, her shoulder, her arm. As the light went on, he growled flung round, dropped to the floor and bounded to meet Jervis. thrust ling at him with his head and making anxious sounds in his throat.
 Jervis bade him lie down, harsh fly. His first thought was that the dog had frightened Nan. Then as he reached the, he saw that her gaze was fixed neither on him nor on Bran. It had no focus; it saw nothing. It was just a wild gaze of fear.
 She was sitting stiffly upright with her hands pressed down upon the bed. Her short brown hair was wildly rumpled. Her face was of an agonizing pallid, her eyes all staring pupils. She had on a child ish white nightgown, rather high at the neck, and beneath it her breast rose and fell with each sob bing breath.
 Jervis sat down on the edge ot the bed and put hand on her shoulder. ax
 "Nan-what is 1t? Please don't be so frightened-you're all right It was just a dream" She trem- bled, and he put his arm about her. All right in minute. Just hold on, and it'll go. Would you like drink of water?. .. No, I won't go till you want me to-"
 She was small and light to hold. Another of those dreadful shud- ders passed over her. He felt her struggle with it, stiffening herself against his arms until she was rigid. A sudden awkward tender ness for her fear came up to him. Under the impatient temperament he had soft heart for children, animals-anything weak, defense less, frightened He patted her shoulder and frightened his grasp
