MILD DECLINE
IN N.O.COTTON
Ring Had Tired Appearance
and Bulk of Business Was
Scalping Transactions.
New Orleartj i —A further mild decline
of two to fiv§f points net comprised the
record for cotton contracts in the local
market today. There was not special
change in the situation affecting prices,
weather conditions in the Southwest
and the speculative interest in July re
maining? very much the same as during
the past few days; but the ring had a
tiled appearance and, apart from a very
moderate volume of executions for com
mission account, the bu/k of operations
represented merely scalping transactions
with interest about evenly divided be
tween the new and old crop months.

IMPROVEMENT IN STOCKS
New York.—Stock marke t conditions
improved definitely this week. The
steady decline of the previous fortnight
was checked and good progres was
made on an upward swing. The change
was due primarily to the prospects for
a. peaceable solution of the Mexican
problem. Acceptance of the mediation
proposal by both countries altered thft
whole aspect of the speculative situa
tion. Speculators who had sold heavily
on the expectation of a long war found
themselves in an untenable position and
much of the strength shown during the
week was due to short covering.
Another of strength was the
improvement in London, based on the
more hopeful view of the Ulster crisis.
At home sentiment was cheered by the
favorable indications for crops, the im
provement In .railroad earnings for
March as compared with preceding
months and the prospects for a speedy
decision in the freight rates case.
An offsetting influence was the con
tinued depression in business. The ex
tene of this recession in the steel indus
try was measured by United States
Steel’s quarterly report showing a deficit
of more thin $6,000,000.
Foreign exchange rose to the year’s
high mark and there was talk of the
chances of gold export. Money rates
relaxed when alarm over the Mexican
situation subsided.

STEADY CLOSE
IT JR LOSS
Decline of 2 to 8 Points Satur
day in New York Cotton Mar
ket.- May Buying Orders.
New York.—The cotton market was
eSsier again today owing to more favor
able weather advices and further liqui
dation of both old and new crop
months. Clbsing prices were steady
showed a net decline of from two to
eight points.
There weve some May buying orders
around the Hug at the opening and that
position started steady at un advance of
two points, but other months were one
to six points lower and May soon eased
off with the rest of the list. There
was enough May for sale, indeed, to in
spire rumors that people who had stop
ped May notices earlier in the week were
planning to re-tender part of their cot
ton and this idea may. have accounted
for spine of the rather aggressive sell
ing of July. The factor most empha
sized around the local ring, however,
was the more favorable weather tn the
South, and while new crop positions
were relatively steady at times they sold
about ten to eleven points net lower dur
ing the middle of the morning as com
pared with a maximum loss of from six
to ten points on old crop positions. Busi
ness was active at the start but be
came comparatively quiet at the decline,
w'lth a final spurt of covering for over
the week-end responsible for the closing
rally of some four or five points. Liv
erpool cables reported a quiet and steady
market. It. was reported that freight
arrangements had been made for the
shipment of 500 bales from the local
stock to one of the Southern mills, but
neither the action of the market nor the
talk around the ring reflected any nerv
ousness as to the effect of pending .ship
ments on July contracts. There was
some further selling of July against pur
chases of new crop months, notwith
standing the better average of the
weather news an the fact that the new
crop discount has already been consid
erably reduced during the past few days.
Reviews of the dry goods Indicated no
change of importance and there were
renewed reports that Southern yarn
spinners were considering curtailment.

WEEK IN COTTON
New York.—The cotton market has
been irregular during the past week.
Tlie circulation of the first May notices,
estimated at about 7i0,000 bales, was ac
companied by cons derable liquidation
and while reports that a considerable
part of the cotton was being taken up
by Southern mill Interests were followed
by rallies, the market was easier aguin
today owing to indications for more fav
orable weather and scattered realizing.
The opinion expressed in local trade as
well as the .Irregular movement of
prices, has suggested a more or less un
settled sentiment. It is rumored that
Southern mill interests are preparing to
ship some 35,<KK> or perhaps 50,000 bales
of cotton out of the local stock and bull-
Ishly disposed traders have emphasized
this as materially strengthening the
technical position of the summer months
while they have also continued to argue
that a late start with the new crop in
the Southwest will curtail the end-sea
son movement. On the other hand, some
traders believe that they have seen evi
dences of rather confident selling of July
by some of the leading spot interests
since the stopping of the Mav notices
and are inclined to believe that even if
a large part of the local stock Is ship
ned out during the current month it will
be replaced by fresh arrivals from the
South. Moreover those who are In
clined to a bearish v’ew of the situation,
owing to the reports of a slack demand
for goods, aceumulating yarn stocks, or
the falling off in exports point out that
It ’s still sometime before the regaining
Julv short interest, must final’y im'ke
good its contracts and that meanwhile
there mav be some chances in
the snot sifuat’on. P-ehminarv acreage
’•enorts so far issued have shown a prob
able increase of not over 2.3 per cent in
area, which compares w ! th the PTO r e or
'ess general talk sometime ago. that be
tween three and five per cent rm/re land
would be put under cotton this year than
last. Final Ideas os to *cre>ee will not
be formed iint’l earlv into Julv. however,
nnd the unfavorable new cron advices
from some sections of the Southwest
have been part'sllv offset by the ab
sence of complaints from of the
river. May is generally considered a
critical month In the matte* of. the new
crop start and the market Is expected
to be, very sensitive to weather condi
tions for the next few weeks or pend
ing some fresh development in the old
crop situation.

SMALL LOSS 111
STOCK MARKET
Slow Decline Saturday Took
Edge Off of the Week’s Ad
vance. Natural Reaction.
New York.—A slow decline In stocks
today took off the edge of the week's
advance. The movement was downward
from first to last, but there was no real
weakness and in a majority of cases
losses were small.
After such an upturn as occurred this
week, the rtaction camp in natural se
quence. The advance of tho last few
days put the popular shares two to five
points higher. Not for months had tho
bulls Been such profits in a week. Sell
ing today was pvdpalVy realizing on
speculative profits, and there was no
aggressive operations on the bear side.
Offerings were accepted readily at con
cessions, and it was evident that a
strong faction was taking on stocks in
the expectation of a further upturn,
provided no unforseen change should oc
cur in the Mexican situation.
Coalers and coppers were heaviest.
These stocks weve affected by labor
troubles in the bituminous fields and
less favorable, conditions in tho coper
trade. Steel held up fairly well until
the late trading, when it gave way on
reports of further cuts in prices of pig
iron and certain steel products. The
financial problems of Rock Island were
reflected in a further decline in these
securities. Both common and preferred
stock made new low marks.
The gold export movement, discussed
as a possibility for some time, began
today with the engagement of SI,OOO,(M>
for Paris.
The hank statement was a disappoint
ment, though it showed an actual cash
gain of more than $5,000,000 and a still
larger increase in surplus. A cash gain
of $20,000,000 had been predicted.
Bonds were irregular. Total sales
$1,300,000. United Suites 2t> declined
3-4 and Panama 2s 1-2 on call on tho
week.

The Professor Says We Cat Precisely at
the Very Worst Hours
Paris.—Professor Bergohie of Bor
deaux, the eminent authority on die
tetics, declares that the least suitable
hoitVs for meals are between noon and
1 p. m., and between 7 and 8 p. m -
precisely those, hours which modern
usage has set apart for meals.
According to the professor, the meal
hours that a rational hygiene would
prescribe would be as follows:
The principle meal of the day shoul 0
he taken at 7:30 a. m., or as soon
after as possible, so as to obtain all
necessarv energy for the day's work
and to restore the liver, em tied by
the night's abstinence. A second
meal, a light luncheon of milk sugar
and cakes should be taken about 4 r.
tn. Finally a third light repast at
8:30 or 9 p. m., would complete the
alimentary regime.

The professor adds that in a family

regime has been followed for six
years, furnishing excellent results as
regards the general health of all the
members. Professor Bergonie has al
so given much attention to the appli
cation of electricity in various disor
ders of digestion He lies invented
an electric bed in which the passage
of the current through the body of ;he
subject sets up organic conbustions
similar to those brought on by muscu

as much good as the rowing and rid
