NEW YORK COTTON
New York.—The unfavorable crop ad
vices from the eastern belt received here
late yesterday evidently made a consid
erable impression on cotton trade senti
ment abroad as the cables this morning
were several points better than due on
covering of shorts and continental buying.
The local market opened firm at an ad
vance of six to ten points in sympathy
but prices eased off two or three points
from the best during the early trading
on realizing.
Private predictions of showers east of
the river were only partially confirmed
by the official forecast and after a re
action of four to seven points the mar
ket ruled steadier. Trading was quiet
around midday with active months some
three to four points net higher.
The mafket was firmer aurlng the
afternoon on covering or re-buying by
early sellers and fresh support en
couraged by the high temperatures in
the eastern belt. Active months sold
about seven to thirteen points net
higher.
Cotton futures closed steady.

NEW YORK STOCK MARKET
New York.—A marked decline in St.
Paul today from which there was but
slight recovery, was ascribed to disap
pointment in financial circles over the
new bonds to be more readily absorbed.
The movement all through the morning
session was extremely apathetic with
some buying on recessions. Tobacco
specialties were Inclined to droop.
With business on a steadily diminish
ing scale, prices rallied from the low
level n the early afternoon. Heaviness
in Rock Island bonds associated with
another meeting of the committees en
gaged in the re-organization of that
property. Gold engagements for Europe
continue with demand sterling at Its re
cent high rate. Students ol the situa
tion look for a diversion of the gold
movement to London, although there are
no indications that the Paris demand
has yet been satisfied.
Bonds were steady.

her affinity eats at his ease in his

has to feed his face at the Greek s,
Dr. J. M. Pierce has applied to the
court to be relieved from further need
of supplying the money to buy lunches

The action by Dr. Pierce recalls the
sensr.tlonal divorce suit filed by him
some months ago against Mrs. Tierce.
The divorce suit followed a scandal In
the Pondera Avenue Baptist church.
The alleged love or Infatuation of Mrs.
Pierce for a certain member of the
congregation—who now figures as the
affinity—caused the congregation to
hold a meeting as the result of which
Mrs. Pierce waa asked to withdraw
her membership from the church. It
was then that the unhappy husband
learned the things that caused him to
file the divorce ault.
A counter-charge waa filed and dur
ing the separation which resulted
Pierce, by order of the court, has been
paying his wife alimony. On the
strength of what he has learned ahout
those picnic lunches, Dr. Pierce wants
to be relieved of paying anything.

Have Inhabitants the Right to
Walk Along Roads of the
Ducal Forests?
Berlin. —The Duchess of Saxe-Co
burg and Gotha aro being torn today
by a serious coinstitutional strife over
the right of the. inhabitants to walk
along the roads of the ducal forests.
The young Duke of Saxe-Coburg and
Gotha, a first cousin of King George
of England, reigns over about a quar
ter of a million people.
The Thuringian Forest covers a
considerable portion of his duchies,
and most of the timber forms part of
the ducal demesnes. The question of
rights of way through the woods is an
important one In all the forest duchies
of Thuringia, and in Saxe-Coburg and
Gotha, the rights of the Duke’s sub
jects are safeguarded by an agreement
between the Diet of the combined
duchies, (Saxe-Coburg and Gotha) and
the Crown.
Roads Closed.
Lately the sylvan peace of Saxe-Co
burg and Gotha has been disturbed
by the sudden appearance of notice
boards on certain of the forest roads
and paths, informing all whom it may
concern that these roads are closed
to the public by order of the Chamber
of the Ducal Demesnes. The forest
Hampdens of the Thuringian woods
protested as one man against these
new rules. They claim that the public
have rights of way on the closed roads
by virtue of established usage, and the
Diet emphatically took the view that
the closing of the forest ways was a
breach of the agreement between the
Diet and Crown.
What is more surprising Is that the

Duke's principal Minister of State, Dr.
Von Richter, took the popular aide,
and gave orders that the offending no
tice-hoards should be removed in one
of the forest districts. The Ministry
of State consists of four members, of
whom two suport Dr. Von Richter.
The fourth, Herr Von Bassovvit*. Pres
ident of the Chamber of Ducal Demes
nes, who is responsible for the closing
of the roads* held that in any case tint
Duke would close them if he were pre
pared to provide other ways through
the forests for his lieges, and went
off privately to luy his views before
the Duke, who was staying at Sansu
mano, near Florence. The Duke took
his side, anl demonstrated his sym
pathies by sending him back to Gotha
with a new and brilliant, decoration.
Whereupon Dr. Von Rlchte, sent in his
resignation.
The Duke postponed acceptance un
til his return. When he arrives ho will
find awaiting him addresses from
both his Diets, energetically recom
mending him not to accept the resig
nation of Dr. Von Richter, and prais
ing that Mintster.
Meanwhile Herr Von BassowiLz has
also sent In his resignation, and It is
understood that Dr. Von Richter will
withdraw his if the Duke will part
with Herr Von Rassowttz, and of
cotirse, remove the notice-boards.
