COTTON
Big Interests Reduce Long Lines,
but Short Covering Prevents
Bad Break.
NEW YORK, April 23.—Influence! by
seller cables and continued favorable
weather, the cotton market opened to**
day with prices at a decline of 1 to 7
points from last night's close. Imme
diately after the opening, a wave of
short covering on new crop positions
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 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 aaalnst the market and
the majority of traders are bearish,
mainly on account of the technical po
sition. It is said that there 1h still
n 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 lew shorts who covered early were
talking 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
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 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.

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.
Certain information from New York
says that the present acute weakness in
old crops Is merely free the market
of outside Interests before notice day
sq4 ttoat arrangements for a profes-
siC—-v»ull 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 a*s
in New York.
Prospects for a severe cold wave
checked selling pressure and provided
the main support today.

Robinson Thermal Baths Clear
The Blood and Prepare Sys
tem for Hot Weather.
Well-known physicians say that the
Robinson Thermal Bath at home is
about to become un almoet universal
conqueror of disease. Any man or w o
man can prove its results inside of 24
hours, in some cases 30 minutes.
In cases 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
beat 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.
Anvone can now take Robinson Ther
mal baths at home and at a 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 *ct a
copy Also see the interesting demon
stration of the Robinson Thermal Bath

Cabinets range in price from $5.50
to $15.00.
Mitchell was a heavy buyer of July, i
said to he for Baruch. Mitchell, Me- :
Fudden and some Wall Street brokers f
were bidding, but found fair lots of cot
ton for sale.
• • •
Rlordan, Geer, Wilson ami Jiartcorn
were among the buyers.
Dropping a few' points under the July
option the May option again has lost
Its strength. Last night May closed 3
points under July and at the opening
this morning. July was 1 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 I
day.
* • *
It is said that the Pell interests have i
been heavy sellers dqring the past few !
days. This firm was bullish only a
short while ago, but now is said to be I
predicting a 1 cent drop in cotton.

Advices from Mississippi are becom- I
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-Demoerat
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 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 of bad 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 us a rule have
been favorable and most of the talent
seems convinced that the crop Is making
normal pnrgre.'**.
"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 contrac ts at both New' Orleans
and New York. In the New Orleans
territory, the remnant stocks contain
many hollies, which will not pass muster
as tenderable cotton. At New York
there are some 11,000 tenderable hales
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
lower at one time. The general ruins
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 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
wa3 a great dehl 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 25,0,000 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.

OF SUCCESS
BY TIME
Why has the name of (he famous
Quaker Health Teacher become a
household word in Atlanta? Perhaps
the best answer may be found in the
stories told by the people who had
called on him to tell their experiences
with Quaker Herb Extract While he
had shown great interest in his work
when here, even greater reports have
been made from those using the reme
dies for chronic diseases and those
who have used it. An unusual rase
! of this character came t-> light when
Mrs. Matilda Watson, of 120 Gurran
street, called Mr?. W:\tsnn is the
wife of an old employee of the Dysart
Construction Company, and is 55 years
of age She told the following:
"I suffered with severe stomach and
bow > I trouble for several years. I
would Moat and belch after eating
and mj food would lie like lead in
inv stomach. Gas would form and
caused palpitation of the heart, dizzi
ness. etc. I was In miserv. and could
eat only the lightest foods. 1 had sev
cral attacks of acute indigestion a few
in"nths ago. ami was weak, pule and
thin Doctors anti j>atent medicines
were all alike in their inability to re
lieve mo. and 1 was getting disgusted,
but my attention was railed to the
Quaker Herb Extract. 1 begun using
it, and after seven bottles am now
well, hale and hearty. I will always
cheerfully recommend .the wonderful
Remedies to all who ask what Quaker
did for me."
Those w’ho suffer from cither stom
ach, liver or kidney troubles, catarrh,
rheumatism or worms should procure
at least a fhial 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
children. Coursey & M linn’s Drug
Store, 29 Marietta street, sells the full
line of Remedies. Quaker Extract is
six bottles for $5 00, three for $2.50,
i $1.00 a bottle. We prepay express
i charges on all orders of $3.00 or over.

By B. C. FORBES.
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 1 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 1 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 dc
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 d is -
tinetion that makes the public ga ‘I

More of our very rich men are .eek

Pictures have been all the rage dur-
ing recent years. But somehow their
possessors are finding that picture,
are less important than human beings
that pictures can not yield gratitude
or win the people’s prayers, that i„ I
short, they are cold, comforti,,,
things in comparison with grateful
hearts and good deeds toward felloe
mortals. 1
There is very little beating of tom-
toms about most of the benevolent
deeds cf our rich men. Could the fu>;
e- tent of the charities of our p| u t c I
crate be revealed, the record would
amaze toe cynics. One of the bes*
known figures in America recenth'
outlined his program for the remain
