New Orleans. —The week-end session tin the cotton market closed at a net gain of two to eleven points. July dis playing the most strength. Buying was based chiefly on tlie continued hot and dry weather over the belt and the indi cations for little change over Sunday. The Ju!y position showed much nerv ousness and at one time was 19 points up. At no time however was buying in tills option heavy. There appeared to he only a small interest left in it and it was generally considered around the ring that the greattV part of the In terest that was left was liquidated 'by the trading of the day. The new crops exhibited quiet steadi ness on that thn crop ie several sections of the belt could not stand many days longer of drouth and intense heat. At their highest the new crops were six to eight points up. Week-end profit-taking by longs pared this advance down to ward noon. High. Low. Close.

DOLDRUMS IN STOCKJRKET Listlessness in the Two Hours Movement of Saturday in Only 70,000 Shares. New York. The stock market fell into the doldrums again today. Busi ness during the two-hour session amounted to about 70.000 shares and the listless movement left little doubt of its highly professional origin. Prices of representative shares were lifted fractionally above the previous day’s closing quotations and sentiment was more cheerful, the Claflin failure no longer being regarded as cause for alarm. Technically the market denoted a strong underston. / The day practically was devoid of im portant news. Advices from leading mercantile trade centers were moderate ly optimistic. Actual cash loss of the clearing house banks was much in excess of all esti mates, aggregating oYer $12,000,000, which is a trifle more than the week’s gold - withdrawals. Bonds were irregular with a loss of two points in Rock Island debenture ss. Total sales (par value) $780,000. Panama 2s declined 1-4 per cent on call during the week.

KINEMATOGDAPH HALLS JNCREASE Compared With Other Places of Amusement in Paris This Form of Amusement is Most Favorable. Parlt.—The statistics of the receipts of all the places of amusement in Paris In 1913 show the formidable rivalry of the ktneniatosraph halls to he stead ily increasing. The total receipts ex ceeded those of the preceding year by $600,0110. almost all of which Is to tho credit of the “kinomas." The orthodox theatres, px-rliisive of the state subventloned stage, which I lost about $200,000 compared with 1012, | showed an increase of over $400,000, but I -learn this was almose entirely | covered by the two new theatre c of | the Champs Klysecs, one of which has | since gone bankrupt. Tho moving picture houscH took nearly $1,800,000- slightly more than the music-halls, which category of en tertainment lost about $200,000 In the last year compared with the previous one. The circuses, boxing palaces, rinks, anl dancing saloons increased their total by nearly half tlds sum, owing largely to the tango mania and to wrestling and boxing tournaments and matches. The most remarkable signs of the times are the figures for the subventloned theatres compared to the arenas where physical culture In some shape or other was in vogue. The Coinedie Krancnise showed a de crease of about $ 100,000, more or less, the Odeon of $25,000, the Opera $55,000, and the Opera Combine $32,000. The German Shipping at Antwerp Has Increased London.—Sir Cecil llertslct, British i consul general at Antwerp, reports:* "(.Herman shipping at Antwerp has increased, and is continuing to Increase more rapidly than British shipping. At the present rate of progress, only three or four years need elapse be fore German shipping exceeds British !at Antwerp, and It will do so unless active measures are adopted to retain and increase the trade of British ves sels vlHiling the port. "In 1913 British shipping actually de clined by 42 vessels and 96,207 tons, while during the same period German shipping increased by 78 vessels and 361,000 lons. "This state of affairs," says Sir Ce cil, "Is undoubtedly serious, though It is true that British vessels (io more ac tual trade 1. e. carry more ci#go and bring more wealth to the port than German vessels.” Of course British shipping Is still greatly in excess of that of Germany, j The total shipping of Antwerp last year amounted to 7,056 vessels with a volume of 14,146,819 tons, of which 3.- 352 vessels of ti. 172,231 tons were Brit ish, while the Germans accounted for 1,705 vessels of 4,510,522 tons. One of the causes of the decline of British - shipping was the transfer of some of the Bed Star liners from the British to the Belgian Hag. AN IDLE WISH.

John a/tcGraw Says No Team Need Have Pennant hopes Unless It Has a Second Team to Take Up the First One's Burdens New York. —John McGraw, of this, town, seems to have said something | when he remarked that a baseball team is only as strong as its secou d.try defense and that no team need have any pennant hopes unless it is equipped with a second team that can take up the finst team's burden immediately and efficiently. One of tile reasons for the success of tho Giants is the tact that McGraw always has aimed to have a set of substitutes who could jump into the shoes of the regulars'and perform in equal style. Many fans and mana gers often have thought ihat McGraw was wasting money when he spent huge sums simply to acquire substi tutes, hut the wisdom of Jiis actions have been shown. Giant Shortstop. Fletcher, thy Giant regular short stop, sustained injuries that put him out of the game for a lengthy period this season just at a time when tho Giants were lighting to hold their first place position. Fletcher was a bulwark of strength to the Giants’ infield. The Giants’ rival figured that with Fletcher on the shelf the infield would become wobbly and the Giants would hit the chutes. lint they didn’t —because Mcc.raw has Eddie Grant in reserve. Grant jumped Into the game mid played In a way that m.ido the loss of Fletcher almost unnoticed. He fielded In brilliant style and hatted up around the .300 mark. Merltle, the Giants’ first sucker, was forced out of the game on ac count of "Charley horse.” But his ab sence' wits hardly felt. McGraw haul ed Snodgrass in from the outfield and placed him on first, where he Is a.l most as good as in the gardening job. and then McGraw filled Snod a place in the field with one of the three extra outfielders that he has been carrying. Payroll Cluttered Up. It. clutters up the Giants’ payroll to carry several extra outllelders, in fielders, catchers and a second string of pitchers, but in the long run it re turns a profit for the GlantH. If the regular team goes to the hospital tho second team comes to the Tore and keeps the team up In the race. The business of sticking at the top or near the top always means good crowds when Ihe Giants are one part of the attraction, and the increased attendance more than makes up for the $15,000 or $25,000 that is added to the annual payr\ll through the car rying of extra players. Further than tills, the fact that the Giants’ second team can take up the fight when the first team is incapaci tated, has on five occasions resulted in the Giants winning Ihe pennant and grabbing off huge slices of the world series money. Mack Extra Room. Connie Mack Is another exponent of thq strong second team Idea. And Connie, as many may remember, has won so many pennants and world se ries Hags that he’s had to build an extra room In his home In which to slore them. Last season Connie was criticised by some persons who figur ed that he was carrying too many men, especially pitchers, on his pay roll, hut the wisdom of It soon be came apparent. When Blank and Bender, l#ls two dependable veterans, failed to lilt. Ii winning stride early In the year, Connie trotted out his youthful hurlers snd tho kljls came through with flying colors. When Ira Thomas and Jack Lapp, Connie’s two veteran catchers, sag god oTf because of overwork. Connie pushed the youthful Mr. Schang to the front. He was the same Mr. Hchang that a lot of people thought wouldn’t, amount, to a darn, and who wasn’t going to he any more helpful to the Athletics than lo relieve them of some of their funds every two weeks. Schang Debutted. Well, In a crisis, Schang debutted, and even before Ills wonderful work In the world series game, the sport ing experts voted him as the best young catcher of many seasons The Cleveland Naps are an In stance of how a team that Is of championship calibre will go to pieces without a strong second team. The Naps last year gave the Athletics a fight nearly all the way, and probably CHARLESTON & WESTERN CAROLINA RAILWAY CO. (Effective May 31. 191«.) Departures. 7:10 A. M..

Will* PHONES 2«7, Ml and 220* m would have won the pennant and horned into the world series if it had been equipped with a strong bundle of substitutes. It was during the latter part of the season wuen the terrific pace was beginning to tell on the Athletics and they began to wobble, Plank and Bender were going bad and the team was ofT in its hitting and its field ing on the bush league order. Cleve land's chances to slip into first place were of the brighter. And then in juries forced and Birmingham out of the game. Wrecked the Naps. The absence of I.ajoie and Birming ham wrecked the Naps' chances. They did not have t wo men to replace their pair of disabled stars. They had only an ordinary infielder and a weak hitter to put Into Lajoie’s place and only an ordinary fielder to re place Birmingham. The result was that, the team that, had been going along at a terrific clip bt o an to falter. The machine work of the infield, without Lajoie, was gone. And the Naps floundered aa badly as the Ath letics and couldn't gain a point d» spite the fact that the Athletic* slumped so badly for nearly two weeks that had the Naps got even just a little better than an even break In their games they would have jump ed into the lead. Pittsburg has a wonderful first team this year, but it any of the regu lars are forced out by injuries it means the breaking up of the combi nation. for the Pirates are not very well fortified with substitutes. It's Ihe snme way with the Tigers. Take a man out of their present infield or deprive them of any of their regular outfielders, and the Tigers instead of looking like a pennant contender, takes up the aspect of a second rate foam. The Cincinnati Reds this year hove been hurtling along like a 14-In<h shell. Their ipltchers are going well, flic Infield and outfield combinations are performing in spectacular style. But looking over the list of substi lutcs one finds that the Reds haen't a second man to compare in any way with ,*,nv of the Tlrst. team. This means that if Injury, illness or an Impire removes one of the Red regu lars from the game it probably will smash the winning comh,l»>atlon. And so from the all we can ob serve of the it resent and the past, we quite agre. with this McGraw per sonage that a team is only as strong ns its secondary defense and that any manager nursing pennant hope 3 had better bather into himself a second team that'B almost as good as the first.
