They found them In the many com plaints from both the Southwest and the Southeast. Iti the shape of reports to the effect that a great deal of cot ton will have to be replanted. From this, the bulllshly Inclined talent drew the deduction that at the end of April a safe stand is guaranteed nowhere In the hell, and while it would not he logi cal to infer therefrom that a large crop is unlikely, it is logical to infer that the burden of the proof continues to rest on the shoulders vd the big crop people. Then somebody dug up the fact that October deliveries this year are new selling some 50 points under Oc tober last year at this time, and some body else remembered that October last year receded sharp gains after this date. Under the circumstances, new crop deliveries under 11 cents began to seem cheap, and had It not been for the great Importance attached to the Euro pean war threat growing out of the Scutari incident, substantial price ad vances probably would have been scored.” Liverpool cables: ‘American mid dling. fair. 7.14; good middling. 6.80: middling, 6.60; low middling. 6.46; good ordinary, 6.12; ordinary, 6.78.’’ LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET.

There was a sharp upturn in the Liverpool market this morning, futures being as much as 1*ihigher; spot prices 2 up, sales 10.- 000 bales. Various influences con tributed to the change; the feeling was In favor of a reaction; the report of The Journal of Commerce giving in its preliminary forecast only 2.8 per cent in crease in acreage was construed as bull- j ish; Miss Giles makes the increase 3.7 J opr cent, a bullish circular by Mr. Price; bullish weather prospects and more op- thftisi views from Paris on the ’po litical situation. First trades here were at an advance •of 14 to 17 points, which met with heavy selling, causing a depression of 10 point**. As soon as tills selling was accommo dated. the market again showed a stronger tone and a tendency toward further reaction. Much depends on the political news of the next few days.

CHICAGO, May 1.—Mrs. Marie Da- s was refused a divorce to-day in hi r suit against George Ado Davis, nephew of George Ade, the humorist.

The court made a ruling for separate maintenance and ordered Davis to pay his wife $15 a week. W. M. \V.—It is generally conceded | by judges of markets and values that} no prolonged upward movement in stocks ca:i be looked for until the bond uarket develop? a firmer un dertone. With standard bonds slowly but steadily dceling and new issues coming upon the market in large voi- I uni", there is little inducement for | the public to buy common stocks, ex cept as a speculative venture. There j are exceptions to this, as to ail rules. The main point, however, lies in tlie ! fact that active and broad speculative movements in the stock market do not precede a firm bond market. With many indications of a high rate for funds in the fall, a sustained bull movement in f locks is scarcely looked for at this writing. Market Basket French Officers Die in Piot. HANOI.
