Big Interests Reduce Long Lines,
but Short Covering Prevents
Bad Break.
NEW YORK, April 23.— Influenced by
easier rubles and continued favorable
tv either, the cotton market opened to
day with price® at a decline of 1 to 7
points from last night's close. Imme
fllately after the opening, a wave of
short covering on new crop positions
gave the market a steady tone. This
reused some of the Wall Street opera
lore to buy July in quantity. July
quickly rallied 10 points from the open*
Ing. while other positions advanced 4 to
7 points. The May option receded a
few points after the opening, but later
showed strength and followed the ad
vance moderately.
After the call the buying was less In
evidence and Liverpool, together with
the ring, which Is said to hold large
short lines, turned aggressive sellers
Rains In Texas and Oklahoma were
given as a reason for selling
The bulls played for a good reaction,
but sentiment is against the market, and
the majority of traders are bearish,
mainly on account of the technical po
nitlori It Is said that there is still
ct large long Interest In May and July
and unless a great portion of this Is
liquidated soon the market will work
considerable lower.
During the late forenoon the market
was inactive. Prices were steady at a
shade below the initial level
During the afternoon session there
was some scattered buying by the ring
and a few shorts who covered early were
talking reaction, but offerings were plen
tiful and the marker hard to rally. Wall
Street and the uptown crowd continued
to sell on rains in Texas and weak
ness of May. which in said to be the
chief cause for the selling
It is estimated that fully 100.000 short
cotton has been covered to-day, which
is encouraging to the bears. V certain
broker with spot house connection of
fered 10.000 bales of July at 11.50, but
quickly lowered it to 11.48 The bulls
were disgusted and side-stepped At
the close the market was steady with
prices at a net decline of 3 to 14 points
from the final quotations of Tuesday.

HAYWARD A CLARK’S
DAILY COTTON LETTER
NEW ORLEANS, April 23. Liverpool
came In weak, showing futures at the
opening of our market as much as 6%
points lower. Spots 7 points lower.
New York opened low on old crops,
but our market was little affected, first
trades being at four points decline,
which was quickly recovered.
Curtain information from New York
says that the present acute weakness In
old crops is merely to free the market
of outside Interests before notice day
and that arrangements for a profes
sional hull move in May are Intact. All
selling of May In this market is readily
absorbed, which points to similar pro
fessional intentions In this position as
in New York.
Prospects for a severe cold wave
checked selling pressure, and provided
the main support today.

tem for Hot Weather.
NEW YORK. April 23. J. M Ander
son says: “There was heavy buying on
opening, said to come from large spot
Interests and from short covering by a
prominent Wall Street operator. One
broker's purchases amounted to some
30,000 bales. The crowd, however, was
inclined 4o sell and did so on the rally
The map showed Oklahoma and Texas
received some rains which were
needed. Tills, of course, was a bearish
feature The map shows that temper
atures will fall considerably. This
caused some buying
“If Is believed there Is still a scattered
long interest in the May option which Is
gradually coming out, causing the weak
ness in that option. . M
“No special news from spot* today.
• • *
Mitchell was a heavy buyer of July,
said to be for Baruah Mitchell, Mc-
Kadden and some Wall Street brokers
were bidding, but found fair lots of cot
ton for sale.
• • •
Rlordan, Geer, Wilson and Hartcorn
were among the buyers.
* * *
Dropping a fow points under the July
option the May option again has lost
Its strength. Last night May closed 3
points under Inly and at the opening
this morning. July was I point higher
than May. Such erratic fluctuation is
puzzling the talent. However, the ma
jority of traders expect to see May at
a good premium over July before notice
day
* * *
It is said that the Pell interests have
been heavy sellers during the past few
days. This firm was bullish only a
short while ago, but now is said to be
predicting a 1 cent drop in cotton.
* * *
Advices from Mississippi are becom
ing optimistic. It is said that planting
is going on rapidly and some are pre
dicting an acreage larger than last year,
which aggregated more than 3,000,000
acres.

The New' Orleans Times-Democrat
says: “An official rain forecast for the
West, followed closely by a private tele
gram roiKirting that tain had fallen
where needed in Texas, reinstated the
bearish cause, and the decline Tuesday
was checked by telegrams front those
sections in Texas which need rain, say- |
Ing no rain had fallen, and by the dis- j
covery of a cold wave formation be
hind the moisture formation, all of
which gave pause to the* short seller.
In this connection, an Influence in check- |
Ing bearish enthusiasm was the con- -
tinuation»pf had start reports. Shreve
port sent such advices yesterday and
the weather bureau’s weekly bulletin ,
was not at all favorable In so far as
Texas is concerned. Elsewhere in the j
belt, however, conditions as a rule have
been favorable and most of the talent
seems convinced that the crop is malting
normal progress.
“The position of the market now
merits the closest attention. It is as
serted by trustworthy men that the
trade has planned to take up cotton I
on May contracts at both New Orleans
and New York. In the New Orleans!
territory, the remnant stocks contain I
many hollies, which will not pass muster
as tenderable cotton. At New York
there are some 11,000 tenderable bales
that will not pass muster as tenderable
cotton at Liverpool.’’

CHICAGO, April 23.—The May future
was firm this morning after the opening
dip in the wheat market, but the more
deferred months were as much as %c
Ipwer at one time. The general rains
over Kansas were the weakening fac
tors and these rains were largely in
the neighborhood where they were most
needed In order to break up the drought.
A Liverpool concern reported Argen
tine shipments likely to be quite small
this w'eek compared with previous
weeks. Foreign markets were unsettled,
but the feeling abroad was not as strong
as it has been. Northwestern receipts
were larger than a year ago, while Win
nipeg movement was smalL
Corn was %@%c lower on increased
offerings.
Oats were easier in sympathy with
the other grains.
Hog products declined in prices on
the losses of 5© 10c in hogs at the yards.
The bulls were again victorious with
the “cotton crowd" a big buyer in the
wheat market. Nervousness and
strength were the characteristics In the
market. There were many bears to be
seen hovering around the pit, but they
moved cautiously in putting out short
lines, feeling that the bulls would twist
the market a few times and that their
only escape would be to cover at losses.
The markets abroad were firm and there
was a great dekl of steam taken on
v the Chicago traders because of this
fact.
There was a larger trade in wheat
with a good sprinkling of outside busi
ness. Duluth reported 250,000 bushels
wheat as taken by exporters to-day
and the reported sales of 650,000 bush
els yesterday were confirmed to-day.
Cash transactions were 35,000 bushels
wheat* 150.000 bushels corn and 130,000
bushel oats.
Corn was unchanged to %@%e off,
and oats were %@%c better.
Hog products were 5 to 17%c off.

By B. C. FOFIBES.
I happened to walk into a finan
cier’s office as he finished writing a
check—in the thousands—for a
charitable purpose.
“You get a great many calls for
contributions, I believe." I remarked.
“Yes, but I enjoy giving them. I
prefer to spend my money that way
to buying pictures with it. I’d sooner
do something to help unfortunate or
suffering people than have my walls
covered with very expensive paintings.
I can see pictures in my friends' homes
and in galleries. *
# * *■
“Yes, it is true that I give all that
my income warrants—and perhaps
more."
“And yo'ur wife also contributes to
many charities, I understand."
“Yes. She feels the same as I do
about these things."
* * *
This conversation is reproduced
here because it is symptomatic of a
change that is creeping over many
men of great wealth.
* » *
A thirst for the goodwill of their
fellowmen has overtaken quite a few
American multi-millionaires, It used
to be fashionable to affect complete
indifference to the public’s praise or
censure. That has been changed.
Cynics, of course^ will assert that the
new attitude is born of selfishness
rather than unselfishness, that grand-
scale charities are prompted only by
a love of popular applause rather than
an innate love of fellow humans. Well,
there may be some truth in such a
charge, but my own slight knowledge
of the workings of numbers of our
noted capitalists leads rather to the
belief that their good works are in
spired by higher motives.
• * *
Colossal fortunes are new in Amer
ica. They are of to-day rather than
yesterday. *Even so, the novelty of
them is already wearing off. They
have not brought their possessors all
that was anticipated. To own $5,000,-
000 or $50,000,000 is no longer a dis
tinction that makes the publlo

Well-known physicians say that the
Robinson Thermal Bath at home is
about to become an almost universal
conqueror of disease Any man or wo
man can prove Its results inside of 24
hours, In some cases 30 minutes.
In oases of rheumatism, especially,
the uric acid poison Is extracted from
the system through the pores, almost
as liquids are sucked up through a
straw Drugs merely smother the poison
or ease the pain. They do not extract
the poison from the body
Mrs. I. Bailey, 181 Joralemon Street,
Brooklyn, was treated for years by the
best physicians in Brooklyn and New
York for rheumatic gout and eczema
without being benefited. Physicians told
her not to take the baths, as she had
heart trouble, but ahe was determined to
try the Cabinet, and has taken four
baths a week for the past year, and to
day she is free from both rheumatism
and eczema.
Anyone can now take Robinson Ther
mal baths at homo and at a cost of
only about 2c a bath. The only way to
take theae baths Is by the use of the
Robinson Thermal Bath Cabinet, which
is a unique and marvelous invention

NEW YORK, April 23.—The market
for cotton seed oil was easy under liqui

counts, as well as by local longs, pre
cipitated by the low'ef lard market.
Bears were more aggressive and it was
suggested that an endeavor was being
made to shake out the traders. Declines
at this time are looked on as natural
and ultimately higher prices are pre

SECRET OF
DIS 1
Wh> has the name of the famous
Quaker Health Teacher become a
household word in Atlanta? Perhaps
the best answer may be found in the
stories told by tlie people who had
called op him to tel! their experiences
with QuaJ&er Herb Extract. W hile be
bad shown great interest in his work
when lf^rc. even greater reports have
been made from those using the reme
dies for chronic diseases and those
who have, used it. An unusual case
of this character came to light when
Mrs. Matilda Watson, of 120 Curran
street, called. Mrs. Watson is the
ttffe of an old employee of the Dysart
Construction Company, and Is 55 years
ot age. She told the following
1 suffered with severe stomach and
bowel trouble for several years T

caused palpitation of the heart, dizxl-
! ness, etc I was in misery, arid could
eat only the lightest foods, i had sev
eral attacks cf acute indigestion a few
months ago. and was weak, pale and
bin. Doctors and patent medicines
were all alike in their inability to re
lieve me. and T was getting disgusted,
but my attention was called to the
Quaker Herb Extract. 1 began using
