ACTIVE UPTURN
IN N. HUTTON
Closed Very Steady at Net Ad
vance of 11 Points* After
Lower Opening.
New York.—Although the cotton mar
ket started out easy today with first
prices four to ten points net lower, it
soon developed a firmer tone and
throughout the late trading was active
with an upward tendency, the close be
ing very steady at a partial net advance
of 11 point 8.
It w«s practically a weather market
from start to The unloading
movement which began on Thursday and
continued throughout yesterday was in
evidence again at the opening today, in
fluenced by a decline of four to six
points at Liverpool and clear weather
oyer Sunday. Fears of unsettled con
ditions in Texas before Monday, to
gether with some good buying of old
crops by spot interests led to a gradual
lessening of pressure in the new crops.
Late in the session the buying became
aggressive, a number of important in
terests which had sold out at higher
levels coming into the market again on
the bull side, while short covering de
veloped on a heavy scale, influenced by
a rumored condition figure of 74.6 by a
Southern authority, coupled with a bull
ish crop statement by a well-known
commission house. The later said that
its reports showed the lowest condition
since 1907 when the crop was 11 1-2 mil
lions. including linters, and that the
plant now was nearly a month late. That
the June Ist government report will
prove a bullish factor also was one of
the arguments for higher prices today
as correspondents will send in their
statements next Monday and thus record
present unfavorable conditions. Many
complaints about dry cool weather ar
rived from the eastern belt and were ac
companied in not a few instances by
good buying orders while late telegrams
from Texas and Oklahoma said fields
were foul with weeds and grass and
that it will be some time before culti
vation can be resumed.

NEW ORLEANS COTTON
New Orleans—Rumors of bullish con
dition figures being compiled by private
crop reporting bureaus caused heavy
buying and a quick spurt in cotton to
day Just when the market was about 10
points under yesterday’s close and
threatening to work lower under selling
brought about by better weather in the
West, poor cable news and some little
liquidation over the week-end of the
long account. Shorts were thrown Into
confusion and longs received fresh cour
age by rumors putting the condition of
the crop as low as 76 per cent of the
normal. At the highest of the morning
the trading months were seven to nine
points over Friday’s flnall quotations;
the close was three to four up.
More bearish comment regarding the
weather was heard than for many days
past. Much was made of the fact that
only four stations in Texas got rain
overnight. The forecast of fair weath
er for the entire western half of the
belt was taken quite genrally to man
that the wet weather was at an end
for the present. First selling was free
for a week-end session but later on
shorts bought their contracts back at
higher prices. %

MONEY TENSION
FEET INJTOCKS
Two Hours’ Saturday Trading
Same As Balance of Week.
Strong Undertone at End.
New York.—ln its essential features
today’s two-hour session of the stock
exchange differed only slightly from the
preceding days of the week. Trading
was little more active in the first hour
and sentiment was somewhat more*
hopeful, based in part on the more en
couraging views of high authorities in
the steel and iron trade and on overnight
developments In the Mexican situation.
The factors again were neutralized
however, by further advices from abroad
which pointed more definitely to ex
treme financial tension in Paris afrul
London. The situation at Paris was
referred to as calling for drastic action.
Of the local stock market It may be
said that some stocks, chiefly special
ties, moved upward, while some others
of more importance scarcely
moved at all. United States Steel, Un
ion Pacific, Canadian Pacific and Amal
gamated Copper were notable exceptions,
recording material advances. In tho
final dealings a stronger undertone was
manifested. Outflow of gold to Europe
continued, with another engagement of
$2,000,000 to Paris.
The bank statement showed an unex
pectedly large actual contraction of
loans. A cash gain of $5,800,00 Oand a
reserve Increase of more than $11,000,-
000. Bonds were steady. Sales $730,-
000.

Facial Resemblances of
3 Prominent Public Men
Prcs’t Wilson, Late William
Pitt, England’s Greatest
Statesman and Joseph
Chamberlain.
London. —A very Inreestlng story Is
going the rounds today of tho striking
facial resemblance between three promi
nent public men, two of whom are still
living though one is hors do combat, ss
fur ns public life Is concerned. The three
men arc, tho lnte William Pitt. Fng
land’s greatest statesman. Joseph Cham
berlain and President Wilson. If. for
eaxmple, you should place a monocle in
the lest eye of the Pitt stsue, which
stands Inside the entrance to the House
of Commons von have Immortal “Joe"
to the life. The same result would fol
low if you substitute Wilson's plnce-nox
for a monocle.
Tty some accident or other each and all
of these three men of light and leading
started their political careers as liber
als. Ail managed tn tumble through
the same irony nf fate Into tho male
strom of war We know the long and
Moody conflict that followed Pill’s en
tranen Into tho game of war, and the
Transvaal war for which Mr. Chamber
lain was largely responsible was only
concluded after a tremendous loss of
life, and an enormous outlay of money.
The last of Hie trlumvllrate, President
Wilson, is stumbling relunctantly Into
the battle arena. Just how he will
stumble out It Is not so easy to say,
hut as his doubles discovered. Its not so
easy as stumbling In.
“What's twins. Kddfe?” asked little
Bess of her brother, sged five.
“Why," replied Eddie, glad of an op
portunlty to display his knowledge,
"Iwlns Is two kids Just the same age.
three's triplets, four's quadrupeds, and
flvo’s centipedes.”
BTRANGE GROWTH.
"Pn, what's a feebly?”
“There isn’t any such thing.”
“Yes there is. It seys In tnls hook
that the young man had a feebly
growing down on his cheek.” —Chris-

"Best Third Sacker in
Any National League"
Pittsburg.—“The best third saoker
in any National League” Is the way
many experts are now classifying
Henry Harlan, “Red Mike,” Mowrey,
the Pirates’ off-corner guardian.
Mowrey has always won a place in
the hearts of local fandom, and if he
can continue the pace he has set this
spring he will make the patrons of
Forbes Field forget that such a player
as Bobby Byrne ever played here, de
spite the splendid ability of Robert
M.
Mowrey Is a smart ball player. He
keeps his wits about him at all times
never losing sight of the ball or of
the play, and exercises excellent
judgment in doing his work. He has
strengthened the Pirates’ InTleld ap
preciably.
Yankees a Dark Horse
to the American League?
New York.— Big Chief Stallings,
tho lender of the Boston Braves, fig
ures Frank Chance's New York Yan
kees as the real dark horse of the
American League.
“Chance is <nn of the greatest
loaders in the game,” said Stallings.
“It has taken a lot of nerve and a
whole lot of executive ability to do
what he has done. He simply clean
ed house of all the dead wood. He
built up one of the best clubs in the
Johnson Circuit.
“There is no one in the American
League who has any better pltcheds
than Chance. To my mind he has
tho greatest pitchers in the game in
Caldwell. That fellow has the great
est curve ball I ever saw, and he has
almost as much speed as Johnson.”
You’ve tried the rest, now
buy the best—SENSATION is
