New York.—A very good weather map and prospects for a continuation of fav orable conditions over Sunday caused considerable scattered selling gin the cotton today and the cose wis barely steady at a net decline of two to ten po'nts. Cables made a steady showing and the opening here was steady at an advance of one to a decline of two points with the near months relatively firm. There was some covering which gave the mar ket rather a steady undertone after the call but as soon as the official forecasts were posted call ng for generally fair weather over the belt, prices turned easier under se ling by Wll street, Southern and local interests. There • Iso appeared to be some Liverpool sell ing of new crop positions, while the an nouncement of suspension of a local com m ssion house may have had some senti mental influence. although it seemed the general impression that the concern had no open contracts of consequence In cotton. - A few stop orders were uncovered on the dec'ine and the market closed at the lowest point of the day. Some of the advices coming in from the south west, while noting recent unfavorable claimed that a few days of continued good weather would bring about a rapid improvement and the tlk around the ring suggested that the expeota ion of better crop accounts from that section was the chief factors on the decline. Private cables from Liverool reported continental cover ng of May-June there at the start followed by a barely steady close as a result of realizing.

New Orleans.—A further decline of two to five points was the result of to day’s trading in tlie local cotton market. A drop in prices shortly after the open ing followed Liverpool downward shd ing, as the result of a general improve ment in weather conditions in all parts of the cotton belt, and throughout the short day there was a general tendency toward lower levels. Pr ces were held up somewhat, however, by the covet* ng by traders for the short account, and more or less buying for a moderate re action over the week-end by floor trad ers. At the end of the day the mar ket was steady and showed a rather good undertone. High. Low. Close.

In dications favored another decline, but the market developed unexpected strength. Lust prices were fractionally over yesterday’s close, with nmnifesta -1 ons of real strength in a few issues, in cluding Reading and Chesapeake «& Ohio. Traders weie bearish beiore toe open- ■ ing. The overnight news couce ning | Mexcan affars was dsquieting. Prices j of American stocks n London were low- j er. The Missouri Pacific problem was complicated by the decision of Kuhn, Loeb & Company not to finance the company’s needs at this time. Yester day's sharp* decline had unsettled confi dence in the under.ying strength of the market. Under these circumstances traders expected little difficulty in bang ing about a further decline. Stocks were offered freely at the open ing, and there was a general scaling down of quotations. With a few excep tions, however, recessions were limi ed to fractions. Pressuie on the marke failed to bring out long stock in vol ume. It was apparent, moreover, that a better demand existed at the lower level established yesterday and the mar ket soon began to swing upward. The bears ceased selling and began to cover. The improvement was slow, but it con tinued uninterrupted to the close. United States Steel's monthly tonnage figures reflec ed the continued slowness of steel trade conditions, but the de crease of 376,000 tons was no larger than had been predicted. The amount of unfilled orders on the steel corporation’s books at the first of the month fell un der the low total of December 31st last, and was the smallest of any month since , November of 1911. Missouri Pacific broke nearly two points on sales of 3 000 shares at the opening today, but later recovered. The bonds reflected more definitely the fail ure of recent financial plans. At the day’s low prices, the convertib es were two points lower and the 4s were down 3 1-2. The expected ga'n in cash, amounting to nearly $7,500,000, was shown in the bank statement. In view of the con tinued accumulation of funds here and the unusually low rates for loans of al periods, the announcement that $1,000,- 000 more gold had been engaged for Paris had little effect. Bonds w’ere irregular. Rock Island bonds were active, rising 1-2 to 1 3-4. Total sales (par value). $l,O-02,000. United States bonds were unchanged on call on the week.

For example, one John Shakespeare, tired of c'odhopplng, quits his farm near Stratford moves Into town, and goes Into the glove and leather business; and three hundred and fifty years ago today the word came to John that there has Just, been born unto him a man child, and that all was well with the mother and babe.

W. Tidwell, Former Augustan, Shot R. Emette Walker, One of the Most Prominent Young Society Men of Car olina Town. Greenville, S. C. —A South Carolina jury will be called next week to pass upon tho "unwritten law’” when tleo. W. Tidwell, a well known traveling man, with headquarters at Clinton, S. C., is placed on trial in criminal court here for the murder of R. Emmett Walker, paymaster of the Carolina mill, and one of the leaders of the younger society set of this city. Tlie case promises to be one of the most sensational ever tried in the state. The story of a hnppy home wrecked by the unfaithfulness of ills pretty and attractive wife and nayardness of his beautiful young daughter, both of : whom, as he claims finally yielded to ' perisistent entreaties on the part of ; Walker and William G. Woods, anoth- j er prominent young man of the city, will be told by Tidwell. He will ask the Jury to clear him upon the ground that he was Justified in killing a man who had invaded the sancity of his home, whether that justification be Writ in the statue hooks or not. The tragic killing of young Walker, which occurred on March 12, in the corridor of the Carolina mill offices, followed the refusal of Walker to agree to the condition imposed by Tidwell a I lew days before for a satisfactory set tlement of the wrongs, which the lat i ter alleged had been done him. This condition was that Walker become the husband of the girl, the virtue of i Whom Tidwell claims he had robbed. Shot While Shaking Hands. Engaging un automobile on the morning of the tragedy, Tidwell drove from the hotel, at which he was stop ing to tho mill office a mile away When he alighted from the car he told his chaffeur who was ignorant as to his Intentions to wait for him as he would ho in tho office only a few min utes. Knocking at the office door Tid well was met by Walker. He asked Walker to come out Into the corridor a minute. When Walker stopped out, Tidwell, proffered Ills right hand and Walker offered his in return. As tho two clasped hands, Tidwell with ills left hand drew a gun from ills coat pocket nnd fired three shots, two of which took effect. Young Walker died al most instantly. Tidwell then walked hastily to the waiting automobile and told tlie chauf feur that he hoped he got ills mim. He bade the chauffeur drive him to ttie sheriff's office. There he surrendered | To newspaper men a few hours later Tidwell declared that he had before going to tlie mill gone into the store where Woods Is employed looking [or him hut that he wns out. His inten tion, he said, was to deal death to both of the young men who had Invaded his home. Telegram Led to Tragedy. The story of the causes leading up to the tragedy Is a revolting,one. Tid well claims that Ids first intimation that his wife was untrue to him and that ids daughter hud stepped from the paths of virtue came in a telegram which he received at Gheraw, H. C. This telegram told him, he claims, that his wife and daughter were in Green ville timt evening in company with : two young men | On this very evening, officers ap ; prehended tlie two women and took them into custody. The young men were not apprehended. Tidwell arriv ed in the city the following day nnd I took his wife and daughter to a hotel. I Sunday Tidwell had a conference In j ids room at the hotel with young Wal ker and told him that he should mar ry his daughter. Walker declined stat dng that tlie glrlo was not Ills equal I socially. This was the last meeting | between tho two until tho morning i Tidwell drove, to the mill office and without exchanging any words save those of the greeting took the life of Walker.
