Chester Friday to see Anastase
Andrevitch VonsiatBkoy-Vonsiat-
sky, who is engaged to marry
■Mrs. Marion B. Stephens, Chica
go heiress, they found that the
young man had left suddenly for
New York late Thursday night. It
is said his hurried .departure was
due to receipt of a telegram. It
was announced by Mr. Vonsiatsky
several days ago that the wedding
was to take place Saturday after
noon, but his hurried departure
gave rise to a report that the
time might be changed to avoid
publicity.

NEW ORLEANS.—It was do
mestic trade development Thurs
day that gave cotton sufficient
strength to recover the early losses
from the weak Liverpool cables
and the rather uncertain general
foreign news. Reports of a bet-
spot demand from a number of
interior points gave the first In
centive to the recovery after the
downward trend of the market had
been checked. It is thought __
some quarters, however, tlat Eng
land will gradually regain ^ her
trade and place her mills on a ca
pacity production basis.—Times*
Picayune. ^
NEW YORK.—Some people who
covered on Wednesday, put out
their short lines again yesterday
morning. Trade interests, it was
contended, were not backing up an
advanae ''either here or in Liver
pool or, to all appearances, any
where el^b in the world. It re
flected a world wide bearish senti
ment. If the ancient saying that
the multitude of counselors
there is wisdom is right, the short,
side was to all outward appear
ances its representative. May
above 16.50 has latterly been a cer
tain amount of hedge helping here,
was said that any improvement
the demand for spot cotton is
spasmodic. It suddenly dies down.
Further rains in the main no
doubt beneficial, fell in the eastern
belt. They put a good “season”
the ground even though they
may delay field work at this time
little.—Journal of Commerce. .
NEW YORK.—Liverpool 12:15 p.
March 12 and May 8 American

<>,000; .middling, 9.35, unchanged.
Following lead of Rhode Island
mills, announcement of wage re
ductions were given Thursday to
fifty thousand men in Massachu
setts, New Hampshire and Maine.
One notice said, "This is absolutely
necessary if we are to continue to
operate.” Eleven official southern
spot markets sold 12,000 bales, un
changed to 12 up. Local goods
market easy with light sales. Fall
River sales for week about 80,000
pieces. Probably easier market
again Friday, but the congestion in
March is becoming a factor that
may offset bearish influences.—

Cache: We believe this advance
may be carried a little further, ad-

Hubbard: We expect the market

Prices eased off from the best
later in the morning reflecting an
easier ( technical position, and the
disposition to take profits on rer|
cent purchases was increased by
nervousness over New England
mill labor troubles and reports
that the recovery in raw cotton
bad failed to stimulate the de

eased off to 16.78 or 7 points net
