NEW YORK COTTON
New York.—There was considerable
local selling and realizing at the open
ing of the cotton market today and alter
starting steady active months sold six to
eight net lower. Relatively easy ca
bles and predictions of clearing weather
southwest were factors on the estback
but offerings were readily taken and the
market later steadied on the official
weather forecast.
Trading was quiet later in the morn
ing with active months sagging off to
a net loss of six to nine points under
scattered liquidation and local selling.
The bullish weekly weather report
reached the offerings however and prices
rallied two or three points after midday.
Cotton futures closed very steady.
Demand failed to broaden on the early
after noon rally and after some of the
early sellers had covered prices again
sagged off, ruling about five to seven
points r ft lower toward 2 o’clock.

CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET
Chicago, Ills—Uneasiness over crop
damage from Hessian fly carried the
wheat market today sharply higher. Pit
offerings were light and buying orders
the rule. Quotations which started the
same as last night to 3-8 higher, con
tinued to rise without any material set
back.
Corn ascended with wheat. Fine
weather and easier cables were ignored.
Prices opened 1-8 off to 1-8 up and then
made an advance all around.
Firmness of other grain Influenced
eats.
Provisions ruled steady with hogs.
The wheat market later teceded tem
porarily, a consequence of the govern
ment weekly crop report proving bearish.
Rater, Hessian fly datrfage was reported
from Piqua, Ohio. The close was strong
1-2 to 1 l-Bal 1-4 net higher.
Increase of country offerings checked
the advance of corn. The close was
firm 5-8 to 5-Ba3-4 above last night.

SIDELIGHTS ON MEXICO
XX X X
The Boys in Blue Now at Vera Cruz Far Better Off
Than Those Who Lay Off Same Port in 1847 When
Gen’l Scott Was Fighting His Way to the City of Mexico.
(By a Veteran.)
Washington, D. C.—Our sailors and
marines on the sunbaked decks of
United States warships off Vera Cruz
should never grumble at the climate,
their food, and the general surround
ings. They arc in a thousand ways
better off than the poor fellows who
lay off the same port tn 1847 while
General Scott was fighting his way to
Mexico City.
I went through the cold storage
compartments of a battleship recently.
There were tons of fresh beef hanging
on the walls. A little further on wero
fresh vegetables in abundance.
None of this in 1847. It was salt
horse, or scouse or some other equally
horrible food —at least horrible in the
tropics.
Instead of the old-fashioned triple
plate tack, your 1914 Jackie revels
In hot loaves and toothsome biscuits.
There are yellow omelettes and In
place of that questionable lump of
dough which now and then a stray
currant, which was called “plumduff”
there are cakes and pies and puddings.
Sailors nowadays have all the purest
of chilled water to drink they want.
In 1847 they got a scant allowance
from the scuttle butt. There was
nothing frigid about that cup. It often
had lain for months In the chip’s tanks
and was frequently both foul and sour.
A marine stood guard over the preci
ous liquid. To relieve the awful taste
the old seadog got his tot of grog reg
ularly.
In stormy weather, despite the heat,
the hatches were battened down.
There were no electric fans and blow
ers.
Yet all in all, our boys of today are
a brave lot and had they to endure the
hardships of sixty years ago, I am
sure they would comport themselves
gallantly.
In his “History of the American
People," President Woodrow Wilson
by Inference criticises President Polk
for sendinf General Zachary Taylor to
the Rio Grande without first having
consulted congress and also asserts
our only claim to the territory ceded at
the end of the war was that of con
quest.
“The Texas boundaries,” he says,
“were another matter. Here the gov
ernment dealt with a rival and neigh
bor with whom no compromise was
necessary. Texas claimed not only
everything north and west of her that
had been Spain’s nr Mexico's all the
way to latitude 42 degrees, but also so
much of the territory of her one-time
partner state, Coahulla, ns lay be
tween the Nueces and the Rio Grande
del Norte and Mr. Polk espoused and
acted upon her claims at the south
even before hsr formal admission Into
the Union was complete.
“Ho ordered Gen. Zachary Taylor to
occupy the western bank of the Nueces
with a small force of United States
troops and during the summer of 1843
sent him reinforcements which raised
his strength to nearly 4,000 men. In
December, 1845 Texas became In full
form a state or the Union; and early
In the following year the President or
dered Gen. Taylor to advance to the
Rio Grande, His presence there threat

Just beyond the river arid the Mexi

"Gen. Taylor refused to withdraw.
The Mexicans crossed the river and on
April 23, ambushed a small body of
Amerlean dragoons Two weeks later
they attacked Gen. Taylor In force and
ho repulsed them. (Palo Alto, May
6, 1846.) The next day Taylor In his
turn attacked, and drove the Mexicans

back across the river in disastrous
rout. On the 18th, Gen. Taylor him
self passed the Rio Grando and occu
pied Matamoros.
"Mexico," the President told con
gress on the 11th of May, while yet
lie had no news except that of the am
bush of the 23rd of April, "Mexico, has
passed the boundaries of the United
Sstate . . . and shed American blood
upon American soil. War exists and
exists by the act. of Mexico herself,’
He had not consulted congress before
he ordered Gen. Taylor forward to the
Rio Grande and brought this moment
ous matter to a head, though ft had
been in session when the order was is
sued. lie had taken full responsibil
ity for that upon himself. War, in
deed, existed—hut by whose act con
gress was no longer at liberty to in
quire. There was nothing for It but
to vote supplies and an army; and a
formal declaration of war was re
solved upon May IS, 184 G, before news
of the real fighting on the Rio Grande
had reached the capital.
"Until autumn all things stood as
they were between the belligerents
while an army was made ready; but
late in August Gen. Taylor moved
again, and within a month, by severe
and dogged fighting, (Sept. 21-25) took
the strongly fortified town of Mon
terey, a full 170 miles to the west of
Matamoros, on tlio highway to the
Mexican capital. In November Gen.
Winfield Scott, the ranking officer of
the Federal Service was given chief
command, and In January, 1847, Gen.
Taylor's force was reduced to a scant
5,000 to recruit the Immediate com
mand of his superior .sent by sea to
attack Vera Cruz.
"On the 22nd and 23rd of February
Santa Anna attacked him, with four
times his numbers, where he lay at de
fense on the broken plain of Buena
Vista, thinking to crush him while he
was weak, and was repulsed. The
Americans were no longer raw militia
men and officers alike, as they had
been In the extemporized armies of
1813, Though they were for the most
part volunteers their officers w'ere
professionals and they were drilled
and handled with a skill and thor
oughness that made veterans of them
with a single battle.
“Their steadiness and prowess were
put to full test with Gen. Scott in the
South. They had not only to take
Vera Cruz by set siege (March 9-20,
1847) in order to make good their
landing, hut had also to scale the huge
escarpments of tho vast tableland
upon which the Mexican capital lay,
200 mill's away, more than 7,000 feet
above the sea, and to make their way
across the broken, hilly plains beyond,
flhting everywhere as they went
against an enemy who out numbered
them and was secure against surprise
within safe Inner lines of communica
tion. And yet from the carrying of
the pass at Cerro Gordo (April 18,
1847) to tho storming of the high
fortress of Ohapultepoc (Sept. 131
there was no pause or miscarriage In
the steady process of their victories.
"The City of Mexico lay amidst
guarding fortresses and was set about
by morasses crossed only by narrow
causeways. But the Americans moved
everywhere with the business-like
certainty and precision of men well
handled, and their volunteer ranks
seemed less in need of officers than
other armies did. Individual pluck
and dash and resourceful daring were
showed, Irresistible In all that they
| did. They fought men rh bravo as
! themselves, a suhtle, spirited race,
, tenacious to the last of all that It could
hold; they fought also agalnHt odds
and moved everywhere against forti
fied places; but they won, undaunted,
at every onset. By September 15th
they were in complete «nd formal
possession of the enemy’s capital and
Mexico was in their hands, within
but a little more than six months of
their landing. *
“Meanwhile the government at
Washington had broadened the scope
and meaning of the war beyond all ex
pectation. During the summer of 1846
and the winter of 1846-1847 it had
seized not merely the disputed terri
tory which Texas claimed, hut also
(he whole country of th* Pacific slope
beyond, from Oregon to the Gila river,
to which the United States could havo
no conceivable right except that of
conquest. The thing was easily ac
complished. A fleet under Commo
dores Sloat and Stockton and a few
troops acting hero and there until Col.
Kearney Capt. Fremont moved al
most as they pleased; and a territory
of 600,000 square miles was added to
the United States. •
"The war with all Its inexcusable
aggression and fine fighting, was
brought to its formal dose by a treaty
signed at Guadeloupe Hlldalgo on
February 23, 1846, by which Mexico
recognized the Rio Grande as tho
southwestern boundary lino of Texas
and ceded New Mexico and California,
of which the United States had taken
possession by force of arms. For this
territory, seized and ceded, the United
States agreed to pay Mexico $15,000,-
000.”
