1 to 3 points on somewhat higher Liver
pool market than expected and bul ish
private dispatches by cable. Wet
weather over a large portion of the belt
and promise of more to come also stim
ulated buying. With the market show
ing a tendency to advance, shorts In

well received and at the end of the first
half hour of business the trading months
were 7 to 8 points over yesterday’s close
On xhe rise selling orders Increased
and finally a general selling wave de
veloped. But for the profit taking of
s-ellers of the early part of the week,
the market would have had next to no
support. Commission houses received
good buying orders from realizing
shorts, with the old crop months near
ing the 12c level and the market was
checked with the May option standing
at 1204. At the lowest the tripling
months were - to 6 points under yester
day’s close.

crop preparations was circulated during
the morning. At noon the market was

to 2 points down compared with the
last quotations of yesterday.

the noon hour and in the trading up to
2 o’clock the trading months went 3 to
10 points under yesterday’s final figures,
the new crops showing the least decline.

THE AUGUSTA HERALD, AUGUSTS, GA
MARKET GOSSIP
TO DOREMUS <& CO.
New York: As for the better progress
with new crop preparations farm work
may be up to the normal for this sea
son of the year; the intentions of the
farmer may possibly be that of break
ing the market wide open by planting
a tremendous area and fertilizing it to
the end of the limit. And still at this
time of the year it is impossible that
the new crop outlook could be definite
enough in itself to furnish a logical
basis for a bearish position on the mar
ket, as no one can foretell weather con
ditions at the time when they will be
the most important.
Shorts covering on this break in cot
ton.
Liverpool: Have unfavorable opinion of
market.
Another cable says better spot demand

DOREMUS & CO.
TO COBD BROS. A CO.
Chicago—Wheat: We look for gradual
ly lower market.
Corn: We look for lower market.
Oats: General apathy Is apparent.
Provisions: Some further recession
would not be unnatural.
Cotton: Port receipts today are esti
mated early at 20,000 bales agoinst 13,-
36 71ast week, 69,876 last year and 8,
in 1911.
Morris H. Rothschild & Co.: We con
tinue to favor the short side.
Hayden, Stone & Co.: Sentiment con
tinues against prices, and the market
acted heavy.
Logan and Bryan: We still feel that
futures will seek lower levels, although
rallies may come from time to time on
short covering.
A. Norden & Co.: We would not be
surprised to see somewhat lower prices.
Miller & Co We look for lower prices
on cotton.
New York: Ring generally selling caus
ing decline.
The recovery in prices will probably go
further as the short interest is large.
There seems to be a feeling that any
sustained upward movement at present
Is out of the question, and that a pro
fessional traders market for a while is
about all we can expect.
New Orleans: May show cloudy belt.
No rain west of Mississippi. General
rains Mississippi, Alabama and Atlanticg.
Indications for clearing, colder in north
western quarter, cloudy unsettled, show
ers in eastern belt.

NEW YORK STOCK MARKET
New York—Opening changes In the
stock market today were small and ir
regular with a majority of advances
among the active issues. Tennessee
Copper was exceptionally strong, rising
I 1-4 and Canadian Pacific gained a
point. U. S. Express iost 2 points.
Advantage was taken of the high open
ing to market stocks, and Steel, Read*'
Ing and Union Pacific sold from 1-2 to
3-4 below yesterday’s close. New weak
spots were uncovered among the inac
tice specialties. Linseed preferred fell
two points.
Bullish sentiment was chilled by the
early exhaustion today of yesterday’s
spirited buying movement and by the
avidity with which stocks were put out
on rallies. Failure to stem the tide of
liquidation in obscure stocks also cur
tailed operations for the long account.
Although losse? In the standard stocks
were slight, the tendency to disregard
favorable factors stimulated bear pres
sure. Trading was at a lower rate, the
morning's business totalling lesa than
half of that done In the sametime yester
day.
Bonds steady.
Prices of representative stocks event
ually crumbled under the weight of
liquidation of department store, mall or
der and other industrial stocks.
The market closed heavy.
There was some remmptlon of the
early pressure on the standard stocks in
the Inst five minutes of business and
speculation left off with prices on the
down grade.

MADE AUTOPSY
SWOPES BODY
Defense At Hyde Murder Trial
Fail To Shake Expert’s Tes
timony.
Kansas City.—Attempts by the de
fense to shake the testimony of the
state’s expert witness, Dr. Ludwig
Hektoen, of the University of Chicago,
failed at today’s session of the Hyde
murder trial, when the expert calmly
stated that things he had advised in
a book written several years ago were
quite inapplicable to present day con
ditions.
On cross examination by Attorney
Walsh, for the defense, Dr. Hektoen
admitted that in performing an autop
sy upon Swope’s body, he had not fol
lowed instructions set forth In his
own book on the technique of autop
sies, which said frozen bodies should
not be thawed with hot water.
“That book was written in 1893,”
Dr. Hektoen said. "Since that time
methods of embalming have changed
somewhat and methods of conducting
autopsies also have been altered."
Dr. Hektoen, on reidlrect examina
tion, denied there were Indications
about the body of Chrisnmn Swope
that he had died of typhoid.
NO LONGER FEAR

and diplomatic nominations and pos
sibly some others,” said Senator

nouncing the decision of ills party as

determined not to be forced into tiro
consideration of tjfe entire list, con
trary to our own wishes.”
It is believed promotions In the
revenue cutter service, the marine
corps and possibly a few miscellan
eous nominations also will be confirm
ed; but even then from a thousand
to one thousand and two hundred
nominations still will be pending.

HOKE SMITH ON
0100 SCHOOLS
Washington.—Public high schools
fared rather badly in a debate in the
senate Wednesday which arose over
a small Item In a local appropriation
bill.
Senator Hoke Smith, who held that
"a large high school was unwise from
both an educational and economic
point of view" and that the small
country schools produced the best re
sults, was supported by Senator
Works, who declared high schools
“have been warped out of all propor
tions as a means of giving to the
children of this- country the useful
education that should be Imparted
through tile public schools.
“It Is evident to every observing
man that a very large proportion of
the education for which we ure pay
ing millions and millions of dollars Is
absolutely worthless to a large propor
tion of the children, who aro taught
in the public schools. I do hope that
some time somo restraint, some re
strictions, will bo placed upon expan
sion of the public schools through the
Influence of the teachers, who are al
lowed to have their own way.”
Senator Smith proposed a commis
sion of two senators and two repre
sentatives to make a general study
of high school conditions In cities and
determine the relative merits of large
and small high school buildings. It
was not adopted, however.
WANTS TOOOPS
STAY IN TEXAS
Austin, Texas.—Gov. Colquitt today
day asserted that the action of the
federal authorities in making plans
for the removal of the federal sol
diers frorr\ the border had given rtsTi
to the impression among the peoplo In
that section that Intervention was In
evitable and on this ground tho feel
ing botween tho Mexicans and Am
ericana populating the border towns
had been growing more Intent dally.
It was this phase of federal action
that has been causing tho most trou
ble, he said. At present ho said,
there aro no troops at Brownsville,
Laredo and other border citlea and it
has been necessary to call tho Texas
rangers and the national guardsmen
to protect peoplo and property. The
movement of federal soldiers from tho
border country to Marfa, Texas, a dis
tance of 80 miles from tho river has
left that part of tho state open to tho
maraudings of bands of Mexicans who
aro reported robbing the farm a in that
vicinity.

tions to 160, had been made.
