NEW YORK, April 2S.-'-Innufnceri by | rabies and continued favorable weather, the cotton market opened to day with price* at a decline of 1 to 7 point* from last night’s clone. Imme diately after the opening, a wave of short covering on new crop positions I gave the market a steady tone. This ! caused some of the Wall Street opera tors 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 tfce ad- \ ance 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 hulls 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 sition. It is said that, thcr*; is still a large Iqng 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 market hard to rally. Wall Street and the uptown crowd contlnued to sell on rains in Texas and weak ness of May. which Is saRL to be tlie 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. A certain broker with spot house connection of fered 10,000 bales of July at 11.60, but quickly lowered It to 11.48 The bull** were disgusted and side-stepped.

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 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 ILa' arrangements for a profes- ste_^T%u1l 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.

By CHARLES W. STORM. NEW YORK, April 23. New York, New Haven and Hartford was hard hit at the opening of the stock market to day, owing to the investigation which Is now being conducted into its af fairs by ti»e Interstate Commerce Com mission. This issue opened at 110, or 2 points under Tuesday’s final. This was 3% points under the opening Tuesday morning The entire list was under pressure and nearly all stocks sustained losses. • Among them were'Amalgamated Cop per %, American Can %, Baltimore and Ohio hi, Chesapeake and Ohio %, Gen eral Electric %, Missouri Pacific %, United .States Steel common %, Union Pacific %, Southern Pacific /, Penn sylvania % and Northern Pacific %. In addition to New Haven, strong pres sure was directed against the Interna tional stock. The curb market was steady. Americans in* London advanced and ih< 'i reacted. There was a steady undertone in the market during the forenoon. At 164% Reading was up %, New York, New Haven and Hartford broke 2 points to 110 Amalgamated Copper and Chesa peake and Ohio were up %.

In this connection, an influence in check ing bearish enthusiasm was the 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 so 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 pos.lion 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 York. In the New Orleans territory, the remnant stocks contain many hollies, which will not pass must oi ls tenderable cotton. At New York there are some 11.000 tenderable bales that will not pass muster as tenderable cotton at Liverpool.” Following are 10 a. m. bids: May, 12.34; July. 12.08; October. 11.31; Janu ary, 11.34. * Estimated receipts for Thursday: 1913. 1912.

In rases 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 she was determined to try the Cabinet, and has taken four baths a week for the past year, and to day ahe Is free from both rheumatism and eczema. Anyone can now take Robinson Ther mal baths at home and at h cost of only about 2c a bath. The only way to take these baths is by the use of the Robinson Thermal Bath Cabinet, which is a unique and marvelous invention That great book. “The Philosophy of Health and Beauty.” retail price $2.00, Free at our Main Store, upon request, for a limited time only Be sure to get a copy Also see the interesting demon stration of the Robinson Thermal Bath Cabinets; no obligation to purchase Cabinets range in price from $5.50 to $15.00.

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 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 hogrf 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 ip 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. j / 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 %@%c off, and oats were %@%c better. « Hog products were 5 to 174c off. CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET. Grain quotations: High.
