COTTON CLOSED
STEM LOSS
Last Prices Lowest of Day.
Six Points Off Except March,
Two Points Higher.
New York. —Today’s cotton market
was unsettled by heavy near-month
liquidation and scattered realizing for
over the week-end. Reports of heavy
rains in the Southwest caused some
covering toward the close and last prices
were steady at practically the lowest
point of the day, net unchanged to six
points lower qn, all months, except
March, two points higher.
The market opened steady at an ad
vance of ohe to four points. The rela
tively firm showing of Liverpool in
spired some covering and a scattering
demand. It became apparent, however,
that there was a good deal of old crop
cotton for sale, particularly May.
There did not seem to he much pres
sure against new crop months although
scattering .liquidation for over the week
end was promoted by the official fore
cast for clearing weather in the west
ern belt. The decline was led by old
crop positions which sold four to seven
points net lower in the case of May and
July. Private cables attributed the
firmness in Liverpool to a scattering ne
mand and small offerings. Reports from
the dry goods trade showed no particular
change in the situation. It is said
there have been sales of heavy goods
such as would be suitable for army pur
poses, but otherwise primary markets
are reported quiet, and local bears are
still laying stress upon the talk of ac
cumulating yarns and possible short
time.

New Orleans,—Colton advancer! In the

well maintained, except on the May op
tion.
May was firm throughout the session
on short covering. Opening three to
five points up, the market at its highest
was seven to eight points up. The close
was one to five points up net.
Cables were better than due and stim
ulated buying around the first call. Of
ferings increased later on improvement
In weather conditions and desire of
longs for profits. Offerings of short
cotton were not liberal after the middle
of the morning. The tia/ie was Inclined
to regard the Mexican situation as more
bullish than ever because of Its probable
influence on planting of cotton in Texas.

GENERAL RISE
IN CRAIN PIT
Great Activity and Strength
in Market. Provisions War
Contracts.
Chicago, Ills. —Sudden restrictions of
supplies from Argentina brought about
great activity and strength today in
the corn market. Prices closed buoy
ant at 1-2 cent to 1 3-Bal 1-2 cent net
advance. Wheat and oats each gain
ed’ 3-8 to 3-Bal-2 cent. In provisions
the outcome varied from 2 1-2 cent de
cline to a rise of 15.
Wheat rose with corn and as a result
of firmness at Liverpool, due largely to
arrivals being scanty at Russian ports.
Oats sympathized with the rally in
other grain.
Most of the rise in provisions was laid
to the influence of war contracts.

WEEK IN TRADE
New York.—Bradstreet's today says:
“Aside from an improvement noted in
retail trade west, northwest and south
west, the result of warmer, more spring
like weather and flattering early crop
prospects, trade and Industry money has
not shown any particular change this
week.
“Indeed the quiet or Irregular condi
tions heretofore ruling have been rather
accentuated by the uncertainty even as
to the outlook for war or peace and aside
from a slight, apparently temporary flllp
given commodity prices and some bear
drives against prices of securities, the
situation broadly speaking shows few
new developments.
“The leading industries note little
change from preceding weeks. Iron and
steel are dull as regards new business
as dull in fact as for a long time past.
“For the week: Failures 319. against
273 last year; wheat exports 2,764,910,
against 3.494.924; hank clearings |3,-
586,195.000, Increase of 14.2 per cent.”

DOWNWARD DO
STOCKSJRICES
Heavy Foreign Selling and
Mexican Situation Respon
sible For Losses.
New York.—There was further un
easiness today in the stock market. The
movement was irregular and confused.
While the downward movement was ex
tended, net losses were much smaller
than on the preceding day.
The irregularity of the movement was
accounted for by the play of conflicting
forces on the market. The two main
factors in the week's decline were the
Meixean crisis and heavy foreign selling.
Today these influences pulled against
each other.
Foreign pressure was relieved, and
American stocks held fairly steady. On
the other hand, the Mexican situation
was as much of a disturbing force as
before. Preparations for wav, and the
reported assassination of Americans in
Mexico, seemed to increase the prob
ability of a protracted struggle. There
was depression of sentiment at the open
ing. The market made a good show
ing, with a majority of small giins. The
opportunity was seized foi* pouring out
stocks, and prices (. ickly yielded.
On the downward swing most of the
popular shares fell to two points
with wider breaks in some instances.
Liquidation grew more general as new
low marks were made. London re
versed ith attitude and sold stocks here.
Commission house brokers, not knowing
what might happen in Mexico over
Sunday called for liberal margins and
■poorly protected accounts were closed
out. Selling was heavy for a time, but
toward the close the customary week
end covering made its influence felt.
There was a late rally, and at the end
of the session losses in many cases were
reduced to fractions.
Some idea of what the week's decline
n stocks has cost, in the way of shrink
ing market values, may be had by a
comparison of the last pfrices today with
the close of last week.
Canadian Pacific, Mexican Petroleum,
and Smelting lost about 10 points each.
St. Paul and the Harriman shares are
about four points lower, but Reading and
Steel show declines of only two points.

Liner Equipped With Guns
Causes Much Curiosity
London.—The launching of a liner
this week and the announcement that
provision has been made for the fit
ting of a couple of 4.7 guns In her
stern has awakened the shipping
community to a state of curiosity as
to what this policy means or what It.
will lead to.We have the assurance of
the IKrst l/ord of the Admiralty that
these ships are being armed for pure
ly defensive purposes, hut In times of
trouble the line of demarcation Is
very difficult to define. It throws a
great responsibility upon a merchant
captain and this Is the point which the
skeptics are taking up with the naval
authorities.
It Is certain that when Parliament
has had time to attend to less exact
Ing affairs than home rule for Ire
land the whole question oT the arm
ing of merchant vessels will come
under survey. Several members of
Parliament have this week Itlmated
their desire for a clearer understand
lng of the position.

Polly Shows the New Fish-

Peper.
Johns Hopkins is to Soon
Have a Most Remarkable
Surgical Instrument Set
London. —Johns Hopkins University
al Baltimore, Maryland, will soon have
a remarkable set of surgical instru
ments used in the first or second
century, A. D. by a Greek surgeon.
Among other things, these instru
ments show the ancients knew ihe
operation of trepanning, or taking a
piece out of the skull. They probably
did this to let out an evil spirit.
The set was discovered near the
site of Kolophon, in lonia. With two
exceptions all the instruments are of
bronze. The blades of the knives
were originally of steel, hut in each
case tills metal lias been almost com
pletely destroyed by oxidation (rust).
In ancient times knives were mado
either of stone or bronze. This cus
tom was lollowed not because Iron was
unknown, hut because that metal was
held in superstitious fear—a fear
which lingered into the Christian
era. According to Plutarch it. was
actually unlawful to introduce any
iron implement into a Greek temple,
nnd no Roman priest might he shaved
by an iron razor or iron scissors
Surgical knives, however, had steel
blades. Nevertheless, even these
bore, on the opposite side from the
actual blade, a leaflike projection of
bronze with two edges—a survival ot
the earlier bronze blade, preserved,
apparently for ceremonial reasons
Each of the six knives or rather knife
handles, In the collection shows a
groove for the steel hlude which ti
originally possessed.
Interesting Exhibit.
An elevator for raising depressed
bone is another interesting exhibit.
Its presence in the collection would
seem to prove that after battle ef
forts must have been made to treat
surgically even the most serious
wounds of tlie skull. Modern sur
geons are apt to imagine that brain
surgery is a recent discovery, and
that operations for the elevation of
pieces of depressed bone were invent
ed within living memory. Tire ele
vator lias unfortunately been broken,
and only one end of it remains.
Another and still more remarkable
brain instrument is the drill bow for
operating a skull trephine. This In
strument proved a very great puzzle
at first, ;ind was supposed to repre
sent some srrvt of measuring ap
pliance. Research, however, has
shown that it is a bow which when
fitted in a atrlng w»h used to rotate
a bone drill or skull trephine, very
much as drllles and trephines are
still occasionally rotated.
In classic times this was not un
dertaken, as at present, to relieve the
pressure from an aheoss or an effu
sion of blood, but to allow exit, to
the evil spirit supposed to bo trouh
ling an insane nr epileptic patient.
That the Greek and Roman sur
goons achieved good results is cer
tain. Probably the purity of the at
mosphere in which they worked mado
thorn to some extent independent of
antiseptics. They used inandragora
juice oj- atropin as anaesthetics.

DENIES IT ALL
AT SPARTANBURG
Clyde Clement Says He is Not
Father of Two Months Old
Thrown Into Creek.
Spartanburg, S. C—Clyde C. Clem
ent, a preparatory school student, on
trial here, charged with the murder
of a two-months old baby, took the
witness stand today and categorically
denied all counts of the state’s
charges against, him. These charges
are based on an alleged confession by
Mi/ss Laura F. Pendleton, who is
under joint Indictment with Clement,
that he drowned the child with her
consent.
Clement testified today that he was
not, as Miss Pendleton is alleged to
have charged, the father or the baby.
He admitted that he knew Miss Pen
dleton and had been with her on Jan
uary 3bth last, when the child was
dropped Into a creek near here, but
declared that she herself had thrown
it freom a bridge they were crossing.
He said lie was ignorant of her inten
tions until too late.
Secrecy Maintained Over
Make ot Zepelin's World
Girdling "Air-Machine”
Berlin.—German aviation circles n.ro
eagerly awaiting soul- definite an
nouncement from Count Zeppelin re
garding the aeroplane lie is building
for his attempt l () cross the Atlantic.
The details of Ibis machine have not
been made public: Indeed the utmost,
secrecy is maintained and as all the
world knows, money eunnot buy tho
secrets of the Zeppelin Airship Fac
tors. -
I had a talk with Count Zeppelin
last week and lie assured me that ho
was building a machine which lie had
specially designed for long distance
work anil that lie was experimenting
with mi improved typo of engine
which ho hoped would solve tho prob
lem of long distance flight.
He very courteously showed mo
many of the departments of his great
works at Friedrlchsliafen lint lie was
careful to steer elear of tho building
in which the model of his new aero
plane is located and in which tho work
of constructing the new machine is
proceeding slowly. The count wenU
so far as to tell me that tile seaplane
would bo somewhat larger than the
average machine of Its kind but tho
engine to ho fitted would more than
counterbalance tho extra weight.
He is confident that a trans-Atlan
tic flight is now well within the
hounds of possibility, though he is
quite prepared to see the failure of
Ihe earlier attempts. Possibly that Is
why he Is in no hurry to start until
the Hummer of 1915.
