Big Interests Reduce Long Lines,
but Short Covering Prevents
Bad Break.
NEW YORK. April 23 -Influenced by
•asler cables and continue#] favorable
weaQjeF. tba cotton market ofrened to-
rtay with prices at a decline of 1 to 7
noints from last night’s close Imme
diately after the opening, a wave of
Abort covering on new crop positions
K*ve the market a steady tone This
aused some of the Wall Street opera
tors to buy July In quantity. July
onickly rallied 10 points from the open-
»ng, 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 Uverpool, together with
ihe 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 arc bearish,
mainly on account of the technical po
tiition. It is said that there is still
a large long Interest In May and .Inly
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 Ihe afternoon session there
was some scattered buying by the ring
and a few shorts who covered early were
♦ Hiking reaction, but offerings were plen
tiful and the. market hard to rally. Wall
Street and the uptown crowd continued
to sell on rains in Texas and weak
ness of May. which is said to be the
chief cause for the selling
It is estimated that fully 100,000 short
cotton has been covered to-day, which
»s encouraging to ihe bears. A certain
broker with spot bouse connection of
fered 10,000 bales of July at It. 60, but
quickly lowered It to fit 4k The bulls
were disgusted and side-stepped. At
the close the market was «1ead.v with
prices at a net decline of 3 to 14 points
from the final quotations of Tuesday.

DAILY COTTON LETTER
NEW ORLKANK, April 23. Uverpool
came in weak, showing futures at the
opening of our market as much as 6%
points Tower. Spots 7 points lowei
New York opened low on old crops,
but our market was little affected, first
trades being at four points decline,
which was quickly recovered.
Certain information front New York
Mays 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
slonal bull 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 provide*}
the main support today.

The New ‘ trleans Times-Democrat
says: "An official rain forecast for the
West, followed closely by a private tele
gram reporting that rain had fallen
where needed in Texas, reinstated the
bearish cause, and the decline Tuesday
was checked by telegrams from those,
sections in Texas which need rain, say
ing no rain had fallen, and by the dis
covery of a cold wave formation be
hind ihe moisture formation, all of
which gave pause to the short seller.
In this connection, an influence in chock
ing bearish enthusiasm was tin* con
tinuation of had start reports. Shreve
port sent such advices yesterday and
the weather bureau's weekly bulletin
was not at all favorable In st> far as
Texas is concerned. Elsewhere in the
belt, however, conditions as a rule have
been favorable and most of the talent
seems convinced that the crop is making
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
on May contracts at both New Orleans
and New Yprk. In the New Orleans
territory, the remnant stocks* contain
many hollies, which will not pass m
as tenderable cotton. At New York
there are some 11.000 tenderable bales
that will not pass muster as tend*
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 %e
lower at one tjme. Thf: 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 srnafl
this week 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 Arm and there
was a great defcl of steam taken on
v fhe 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-
ds yesterday were confirmed to-day.
Cash transactions were 35,000 bushels
wheat,, 150.000 bushels corn and T30.000
bushel oats.
t’orn was unchanged to %@%c off.
and oats were %@%c better.
Hog products were 5 to 17%c off.

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.
Jn cases of rheumatism, especially,
the uric acid poison is extracted from
the system through the pores, almost
as liquids are sucked up through a
»tra*v 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 she 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 home and at a cost of
only about 2c a bath Tho only way to
take these baths is by the use of the
Robinson Thermal Bath Cabinet, which
is a unique and marvelous invention.

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 tor
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 your 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 symptorrfatic 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 V ra ' s e or
censure. That has beer. 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 public

COTTON SEED OIL.
NEW YORK, April 23.- The market
for cotton seed oil was easy under liqui
dation for Southern and Western ac
counts. as 'well as by local longs, pre
cipitated 'tfy the lower lard market.
Bears Were more aggressive and it was
suggested that an endeavor was being
made to shake out the traders. Declines
at this tiipe are looked on as natural
and ultimately higher prices are pre
dicted.

OF SUCCESS
BY TIME
Why has the name of the famous
Quaker Flealth Teacher become a
household word in Atlanta? Perhaps
the best answer may be found in the
stories told by the people who had
called or him to tell their experiences
with Quaker Herb Extract. While he
had shown great interest in his work
when lure, even greater reports have
been made from those using the reme
dies for chronic disease: and those
who have used it. An unusual ease
of this character came to light when
Mrs Matilda Watson, of 120 Curran
street, called. Mrs. Watson is the
wife of an old employee of the Dysart
Obstruction Company, and is 55 years
of age She told the following:
"I suffered with severe stomach and
b-nvcl trouble for several years. 1
would bloat and belch after eating
and my food would lie like lead in
my stomach. Gas would form and
caused palpitation of the heart, dizzi
ness. etc. 1 was in misery, and could
eat only the lightest foods, 1 had sev
eral attacks of acute indigestion a few
months ago. and was weak, pale and
Ion. Doctors and patent medicines
were all alike in tneir inability to re-
, hov«' me, and I was getting disgusted.
; but my attention was called to the
Quaker Herb Extract. 1 began using
", and after seven bottles am now
1 well, hale and hearty. 1 will always
cheerfully recommend the wonderful
Remedies to all who ask what Quaker
did for me."
Those who suffer from either stom
ach. liver or kidney troubles, catarrh,
rheumatism or worms should procure
at least a trial three-bottle treatment
of Quaker Herb Extract at once. Don’t
delay if you .want that bounding,
sparkling, radiant health the price
less asset of all men, women and
1 children. Coursey Munn’s Drug
Store, 29 Marietta street, sells the full
line of Remedies. Quaker Extract ts
six bottles for $6.00. three for $2.50.
i $1.00 a bottle. ajTYq prepay, express
l charges on all orders of $3.00 or over.
