J NEW YORK COTTON.
New York, May 1. Cotton opened
firm at an advance of 10 to 19 points
on heavy covering and an active de
mand from bulls or reactionists. Who
were encouraged by firm cables,
reports of a. smaller increase in
acreage than expected, and a bullish
view of the near months situation.
The advance ran the market into big
selling orders which appeared to come
largely from the south. With the
forecasts indicating good weather,
prices eased off several points from
best during the early trading. The
market was. very nervous and unset
tled toward the end of the first hour,
Trading became1 less active late in
the forenoon, but there was a con
tinned demand from recent sellers or
bullish sources, and the market ruled
very steady at noon, with prices

"In the Days of War,'! a two" reel ;)
Pathe war, photo-play, at the Pnn- !
cess theater today and tonight shows
that James Adams and his brother-in-law,
Paul Chase, united In friend-,
ship by their mutual love for Mrs.
Adams, part at the outbreak of the
civil war because their sympathies
call them to different sides in the
great struggle of 60 years ago. In
what proves to.be the decisive strug
gle of the great conflict, four years
later. Adams, now with the rank of
Major first meets his brother-in-law,
Major Chase, on the field of battle be
fore Richmond. Major Adams Is
leading a force of Union soldiers in
an eftort to capture ana control &
bridge ably defended by the Confed-.
erate troops under, Major Chase,
Chase, losing ground rapidly, decides
to ruin the vantage point which he
cannot hold, and' accordingly, when
the Union soldiers are half way across
It, the bridge Is blown to atoms:
The two men, who have, served
their respective causes so nobly, find
themselves side by side and serious
ly injured in a field ; hospital. , where
Mrs. Adams, acting as a Kea cross .
nurse, tells them the' glad news that
the war is ended. . Another thrilling
struggle of Major Adams, disguished
as a Confederate trooper, to visit his
baby daughter, and then outwit the
sentries, who have discovered his dis
guise and who force him to take a ,
wild leap from a cliff to get back
to the Union camp again.
Another good picture, ''Rule Thy
self," an Edison comedy, completes..
an excellent program.
