NEW ORLEANS COTTON Market Was Quiet During the Week Price Changes Narrow - New Orleans, March. 1. The cotton market was quiet this week. Prices moved within a naprow range and did not favor either bulls or bears to any decided extent. The close was at a net gain of 2 to 11 points. The high prices were made on Fri day and the low prices on Tuesday. At the highest the trading months were 20 to 30 points over last week's close. At the lowest they were 3 to 6 ipoints under. The range was 23 to 36 points, s Except for a while around the open ing of the week, the long side was more aggressive than the short and prices were kept at a small advance above the level of last wek's .close. On the whole the volume of trade was small and operators on botn sides were plainly waiting for decided developments regarding the new crop situation Planting was reported be- gunMn the earliest sections of Texas, and from most parts of the belt satis factory iprogress with crops waa claim ed. lAt the same time a considerable amount of rain fell,' which the mar ket called unfavorable. In the spot department prices gained one-eighth of a cent, middling closing at 12 1-2, against 12 3-8 last week and 10 7-16 this week lasf year.

J., March 1. Thous ands of the home folk of-Prlncetoni University gave Woodrow Wilson : a. farewell demonstration tonight as they bade him God-speed to the ; White House. .; It was a unique tribute to the man who after 27 years of residence in the historic town had been elevated to the Presidency of the United States,: n that both students and town . folk oined in cheering him. It was the first celebration in which "town and gown" mingled in such great numoers and with, so much entnusiasm. - . A. brass band, a glare- of fireworks and' continuous cheering brought the resident-elect to the door of his bun galow, just as the" procession of .stu dents and residents turned the corner of Cleveland ' lane,, marching, by- the house where Grover. Cleveland lived and died. The streets were , muddy, but; the. marchers trudged merrily along. When they reached the Wilson home a great cheer went up. ' C. S. ' Robinson, a Republican, and A. S. Leigh, a Democrat, bore a silver oving cup. CoL David M. Flynn pre sented It in a brief speech.

I would be a very poor President if I did lose it. I have always believed that the real rootages of patriotism were local; that they resided in one's conscious ness of an intimate touch with persons who were watching him, with ackhowl- edgment of his character. You cannot love a country abstract edly; you have -got to love it concrete ly. You have got to know people In order to love' them. You have got to feel as they do in order to have sym pathy with them and any . man would be a very poor public servant who did not regard himself as a part of the public himself. - Noman can Imagine how other people are. thinking. He- can know only by what Is going on in his own head, and if that head is not conceited by other threads of sugges-. tion with the heads of people about him, he cannot think as they think. "I am turning away from this place in body, but not in spirit, and I am do-, ing it with genuine sadness. The real trials of life are the connections you break and when a man has lived in one place as long as I have lived in Prince ton and has had as many experiences as I have had here, first as an under graduate and then as a resident, he knows what It means to change his residence and to go into strange en vironments and surroundings. I have never, been inside of -the White House, and I shall feel very strange when I get inside of it.

This latest British . note, which was submit ted j; to Secretary; Knox yesterday, in stead of being a communication " from Siril Edward GrF, the foreign minis- ter; was a "set of observaUons" by explained his reasons fOr submitting at this stage an objection to the con tention in the last American note that Sir Edward was arguing a hypothetical case and that there was no reason for his protest in advance of the actual collection: of tolls from British ships while American ships were , allowed to pass free. ' . - ( . i The note follows In part: '. r . , ("His majesty's government are una ble before the administration 'leaves office to reply fully to the arguments contained in, your dispatch of the 17th uit to the United States charge; d'af faires at London; regarding the differ ence of -opinion that has arisen be tween our two governments as to .the interpretation of , the Hay-Pauncefote treaty, but they desire me in the mean time v to offer the following observa tions with regard to the argument that no case has yet arisen calling for any submission to' arbitration of the points in , difference ' between his 'majesty a government . iaUthat- of. the : Uulted4 states on ; n& urpreTAtio& r or the done so far is to pass an act of Coti- gress under which action held by his majesty's government to be prejudi cial to British Interests might be taken. From . this view his majesty's gov ernment feel bound to express their dissent. They conceive that interna tional law r or usage does not support tne doctrine that the passing of a stat ute in contravention of a treaty right affords no grounds of complaint for the nfractioh of that right and that the nation which holds that its treaty rights have been j3o Infringed or brought into question by a denial that they exist, must, before protesting and seeking a means- of determining the point at issue, wait until some fur ther action violating those 'acts' in a concrete instance has been taken. which In the present Instance would, according to your argument,, seem to mean, until tolls have actually been levied on British vessels from which vessels owned by citizens of the Unit ed States have been exempted. , The terms of the proclamation is sued by the President fixing the canal tons ana the; other method which your note sets forth as having been adopt ed, by him,- in his discretion, In, a giv en occasion for determining ; on ' what basis they should be fixed, do not ap pear to - his majesty's : government to affect the general issue as to the mean ing of the ay-Pauncefote treaty which they hate raised. In stating thus briefly their view of the compatibility of the act of Con gress with their treaty rights his maj esty's government held that the differ? ence which exists between the two governments is clearly one which falls within the meaning of Article 1 Of the arbitration treaty of 1908." - HOUSE IN SESSION TODAY- Must Meet for Regular Business Big f ' Supply Bill Washington; March 2. -After work ing Until nearly 1 o'clock this morning, passing the Workman's j : Compensa tion law. and handling a mass of rou tine appropriation bills, - the ' House took a recess until 2:30 o'clock this afternoon.
