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.

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. High c.ow.

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. WHEAT— Open. High. Low. Close.

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.” COTTON SEED OIL New York.—The cotton seed oil mar ket closed steady: Spot 720a738; April 724a732; May 728a72T; June 750a751: July 758e759: August 768n7T0; September 769- a 771; October 721a727; November 880a -695.

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.

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.

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. COTTON GOODS New York. —Heavy eotton goods tndiy were steady with a firm trend reported on duck. General cotton goods mar kets were quiet.

"1 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.

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. Roys’ Blue Sorgo All-Wool Suits, $3.50 up, at F. G. Mertlns. Get your Walnut Bars from Sheron now.
