NEW YORK COTTON
New York. —Better cables than expect
ed and reports of heavy rains in the
southwest pave the cotton market a
firm tone early today. After opening
six to eigh higher active months sold
eleven to fourteen net higher. Liver
pool houses were buyers of May which
led the early advance on revived rumors
that notices expected tomorrow would be
stopped. Realizing checked the advance
and the market eased off four or five
points.
The market was unsettled late in the
morning owing to considerable near
month liquidation, but there was little
pressure against late deliveries and
.prices ruled about four to twelve points
net higher shortly after midday.
Cotton futures closed steady.

The fact that rains were frenerrtl over

WEEK IN_COTTON
New Orleans.—The cotton market had
an upward tendency last week, partly
as the result of unta- orable weather
conditions over the belt and partly be
cause of the Mexican situation. The
close was at a net gain of 12 to 20
points. At the highest of the week
prices were 23 to 29 points over last
week’s close; at the lowest they were
one to five points under.
Too much rain fell in many sections
of the belt and in some portions tem
peratures were not high enough for the
good of the crop. The Mexican trouble
was considered bullish because it was
believed that it would tend to reduce the
acreage under cotton this spring, es
pecially In Texas.
During the week the main influence
will be the weather conditions over the
belt, the Mexican sitaution and also the
spot situation. Warm and dry weath
er is needed to complete planting and
bring up seed already planted.

BEAR STAMPEDE
IN Nil I. STREET
Change in Mexican Situation
Over Saturday Cause Send
Prices Up With a Rush.
New York.—A hear stampede was
caused on the stock exchange today by
the change in the Mexican situation
since the close of the market on Satur
day. Prospects of a long war with
Mexico led to heavy speculative selling
of stocks last week at steadily falling
prices. The proposal of mediation and
its reported acceptance by Huerta sent
up prices with a rush at the opening of
the market today. Traders who had
sold short bid excitedly for stocks to
cover and for the first half hour there
was a lively sceneon the floor.
Tn Mexican Petroleum, a stock which
was especially heavy last week there
was a jump of 15 1-4 points on the first
few transactions. No such movement
had been witnessed on the exchange for
several years. Bears in panic pushed
up the price ten points on the first and
thereafter a point at a time. After the
excitement had died down, ' the quota
tion slipped back until eleven points of
the buoyant advance bad been lost. Tn
all of last week’s slump Mexican Petro
leum’s loss was four points less than the
amount it gained during the first few
minutes today.
American Smelting, which also was
particularly heavy last week owing to
its etxenslve interests in Mexico, Jump
ed four points on the first sale. Else
where gains ranged from one to three
points.
The market closed heavy today. Union
Pacific and Amalgamated were actively
bought for a time In the late dealings,
•but the whole market weakened later,
when Mexican Petroleum. Canadian Pa
cific and Colorado Fuel began to break.
Mexican Petroleum reacted to more
than a point under Saturday’s close.
Bonds showed a better tone.

THE MORNING WITH
THE RECORDER
Pearl Hudson and Susy Struthers,
both colored, had infringed on tha
the spirit of the 690th section of the city
code.
They stood in the delicate position
of having swapped husbands. Story
entitled The Woman's Exchange.
The situation was one which requir
ed tact, to say the most.
Similar relations have been seen of
ten in the larger cities and are fre
puently referred to In Town Topis,
hut no parallel case had hitherto come
before the Recorder.
The proper amount of reserve and
self control had not been exercised in
this instance. All four parties were in
the habit of Reminiscing and Alluding
to the past, which was rude, under
the circumstances.
Pearl was the only one arrested yes
terday.
When asked if she was Guilty or
Not Guilty, she said she was "guilty of
fussin' alright, I'll tel you what I
said;”
They accused her of cursing. She
had said disparaging, even scurrulous
things to Susy. She admitted it and
repeated them all In court.
Susy explained that on her way
from church she had stopped at a
house across the streej. from Pearl and
stood there talking to a friend. Pearl,
standing on her piazza, had imagined
that they were talking about her and
called out the above-mentioned oaths.
For some time they had paid no atten
tion, thinking the abuse was meant
for somebody else, until Pearl called
Susy by name and departed on a new
and even worse line of invectives.
"Sh cussed me out so bad,” said
Susy, "that 1 sent fer de Police. She
never did quit cussln’, she cussed right
on after de Police taken her and she
lef, dere cussin’.”
“And she was still cussin’ when she
got here,” said Officer Blackwell
Pearl contended that she had good
and sufficient reason for cussin. She
explained that she personally had
nothing to do with Susy's husband. If
was Susy, on the contrary who had
; laken Her husband.
‘None of them’s husbands aint My
j company," she said coldly. "But .ledge,
i that she was L ikin’ about me over
■ dere yesterday afternoon is certainly
jde truth, fer I heerd em wid my own
I ears. And she aint got no right to
1 talk about me to nobody. So I called
out to her and tole her what she was,
—and she certainly IS."
She glared at Susy.
“Es she don't like me,” she contin
ued, “she ain't got no right to like my
l husband. She claims 1 keep her hus
; band —Humph! I believe 1 will now,
, Jest to make things even.”
The Judge derided that it was Pearl
| who had caused the disturbance in
the neighborhood, and fined her sls
|or thirty days.

Large Number of People Attended Memorial Exercises.
Crosses of Honor Presented by Mrs. Mary Meade Owens.
- Report of Walter A. Clark, Historian, Camp 435, U. C. V.,
Was Read by Rev. W. B. D iliard
The memorial exercises in honor of
the Confederate dead held at the Rich
mond county court house at 11 o'clock
this morning were made probably the
most impvessive in many years because
of the strong, patriotic address of Hon.
Win. H. Howard, who has served as a
member of tire United States congress
for twelve years and Is without a doubt
one of the ablest speakers in this sec
tion.
r Phe exercises were held in the laugh
ters of Confederacy hall and the room
was well crowded with both ladles and
gentlemen. The surviving veterans of
Camp 435 had seats reserved near the
speaker’s platform.
Opening Prayer.
Rev. W. B. Dillard delivered the open
ing prayer. A quartette composed of
Messrs. W. P. Maiming. Foster Sego.

Collins, A. O. Pavnney, Jno. J. Jacobs,
Jas. R. Philips, J. J. Williams and R. L.
Campbell, the latter receiving a dupli
cate of one he lost in Washington some

The presentations were made by Mrs.

Historian’s Report.
Next the report of the historian of the
camp, Walter A. Clark, was read by
Rev. Dr. Dillard, the writer being two
hoarse to deliver it himself. It was n
splendid article as are all that are pre

not a man in Augusta who stw actual
service in the Civil War whose memory
Is still as fresh as that of Mr. Clark's.

Mediation Efforts.
Washington, efforts at mediation
however, were the most in evidence
of all other dements In the crisis. It
was reported here that Oeneral Huer
ta had been communicated with through
private sources before the mediation
proposals were anounced by the Latln-
American diplomats and that they had
at that time practical assurances from
dose associates of the provisions!
Mexican president Hist he would ac
cept their good offices.
First Btop.
Huccena of the first step toward
mediation coupled with the apparent
effort of the big European powers to
prevent war and secure a settlement
of this problem removed from the
situation some of the elements of ten
slon which has gripped It for several
days.
Chairman' Htone, of the senate rom
mltte.. on foreign relations, who con
ferred with the president, said mem
bers of congress generally would ap
prove of the mediation efforts.

Sonewall Jackson. Skeehes were also
received in which two Augustans were
connected. The report was one of the
last tht' historian has ever submitted. It
was unanimous \ adopted by the camp
and brought forth long applause.
As is characteristic of the author, the
last lines of the report were verses In
rhyme to Mrs. W. I. Wilson, who is one
of the principal figures In the Daugh
ters of Confederacy. Mrs. Wilson at
the conclusion of MV. Clark’s report
arose in a very few words expressed her
appreciation of what had been said. She
spoke in her. usual unassuming manner.
The quartette sang "Old Black Joe,’
the voices ringing out the notes that
never seemed more beautiful before.
Mr. Howard Spoke.
Rev. Mr. Dillard introduced the speak
er of the occasion, Hon. \V. M. Howard,
for thirty or forty minutes in
a masterful manner. The jlst of what
the eloquent speaker discoursed lay in
one thought “that the history of our
nation could be read in the faces of Jef
ferson, Lee and Johnson.’’ He dealt at
some length on the connect on that the
survivors present at today's exercises
have with the country’s past history and
the history it is making today. He told
how they were the link between their
leaders of the sixties and the leaders
who are today on the verge of another

The Craddock-Terry Shoe Company
Take Over Big St. Louis House
The following Is from a Lynchburg
exchange:
II was learned today, from on authori
tative Houvee, that negotiations have
just been ensummnted whereby the
Craddock-Terry Co., of Lynchburg, Va.,
acquire the large manufacturing and
wholesale shoe business of Burrow, Jones
& Dyer Hhoe Co., of St. Louis, and with
it the Kant-Relth Shoe Co., of that city.
This. It Is stated, constitutes one of the
most Important, stops in the history of
Lynchburg's shoe business, and the of
ficers of the company are confident in
their opinion that the move not only
means a large extension (if volatile «$f
business fov the odmipany, but .that it
strengthens, in many Important features,
the already strong position of the com
pany.
Tile Rurow, Jones Sr Dyer Shoe Com
pany have an established business of
more than $2,500,000.00 and operate two
large and successfully organized shoe
factories one in the city of Ht. Louis
and the other at Louisiana, Mo. These
factories will be operated on lines of
shoes different from those made In the
Lynchburg factories, being such as the
Craddock-Terry Co. are now hiving
made for them In New England and
western factories. The deal will afford
a most desirable reciprocal arrangement
between the factories located in Lynch
burg and those In the West.
The Craddock-Terry <’•>. factories in
Lynchburg will supply the Bt. Louis
wholesale bouse with the lines of shoes
which enn be best made here; and. on
thee other hand, the western fiicioria
will make for the Lynchburg house tha 4
lines Which have been most successfully
developed and made In that section.
Th Kant-Relth Shoe Factory, which
is also taken over in the deal, make one
of the strongest and most popular lines
of misses’ and children’s shoes in the
country. These shoes are made by a
new process, end in a vary superior
manner, and In the development of these
lines particularly the company feels
that there Is a great future.
It was pointed out by one of the of
ficers of the company that, aside from
tfte manufacturing and distributing ad
vantages furnisher by this consolidation,
that even more important still In tha
judgment 11 of the president and the hoard
of directors, was the fact that some of
the strongest and most successful shoe
men of Ht. Louis would be Interested
with the company and furnish the or
ganization for the western department.
To he associated with the company In
Ht. Louis, among others, are Mr. W. F.
Me Elroy and Mr. W. M Hloan, who, for
a number of yen re. bid charge of. and
through their able management de
veloped the large manufacturing Inter
est of Hamilton-Brown Hhoe Co., of Ht.
Louis.
This consolidation opens up to the
Craddock-Terry Co. that large and most
prosperous and rapidly growing section
of the United States the Central Mis
sissippi Valley and the Southwest, In-
