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. AUCKJSTA QUOTATIONS GROCERIES. PROVISIONS V, B. Ref. riba, 50-lb 12% D. B. Ran. piatee, 8-yb av 11 D. 8.

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.

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. Confident Feeling.

Gen. 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 war. Tn the speaker's message i was contained some valuable history leading up to the bloody conflict in 1861 and in its concise form give bis hearers a knowledge of facts that are particularly significant at the present time, as it re ferred to acts of the people of this coun try ofwhom the people today are de scendants. He praised the method of President Wilson, and stated that he be lieved that in time H will convince everyone of its justification.

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- CHARLESTON & WESTERN CAROLINA RAILWAY CO.
