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.

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. % High. Low. Close.

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.

S. A. FORTSON. 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- tian Register.

"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 the brand.
