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.

Receipts 3,662; stock 139,74.0 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.

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. High. Low Close.

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.

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.

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.
