WIDEST MOVEMENT IN WEEKS.
No Solid Support Being Offered, Quo-

Offerings, With Only Partial Re-
covery Before Close for Day.
NEW YORK, April 13.—Persistent selling of
■tocka today brought the widest movement in
several weeks on the exchange. During the
most of the session prices ruled n point or more
under recent levels.
No solid support was offered, and quotations
gave way rather easily on moderate offering,
with only a partial recovery before the close.
Missouri Pacific, after the fall of a point, tal-
lied and closed with a net gain ou short cover-
ing.
The bond market was irregular. Total sales,
par value, $3,058,000. L'uiteu States bunds were
unchanged uu call.

CLOSE IS STEADY, BUT AT DE-
CIDED NET DECLINE.
After Making New High Record in
Early Movements, Trading Becomes
Unsettled—August Remains
Relatively Firm.
NEW YORK, April 11—After making new
high records for the movement early today, the
cotton market became very nervous and unset-
tled, with the close steady at a net decline of
4 to 0 points on all positions except August,
which was 4 points net higher.
The opening was steady at a decline of 4
points to an advance of 0 points, summer and
early fall months being relatively firmer on a
continuation of the covering movement, while
other positions responded to lower cables than
expected. There was heavy buying at the start
and during the first few minutes all active po-
sitions sold higher, with May touching 14.72c
and .July 14.65c, or about 5 points over the clos-
ing figures of last night, but at this level there
whs heavy realizing and the market soon weak-
ened.
One of the loading bull brokers was credited
with selling at. least 40.000 bales of May before
the end of the first hour, and with offerings
from this source continuing, May eased off to
14.57c, or 10 points under the closing figures
of lust night. July showed a similar loss and
the new crop months also sold some 10 to 12
jK)lnts net lower, but August remained relatively
firm and the general list rallied from the low-
est in the late trading on covering and buying
of July by one of the early sellers of May.
The character of the trading appeared to
confuse local sentiment, and after the close
tonight it was estimated that one of the old
bull leaders had liquidated at least 15,000 bales,
chiefly in the way of May contracts, in the
past three or four days. Shorts have been very
active buyers.

New Orleans.
NEW ORLEANS. April 11.—Cotton futures
opened very steady, unchanged to 1 point down
ou the old crops and 4 to 5 points up on the
new. Cables were not favorable, but the market
was sutained on the call by bniyng orders from
outsiders, based on complaints of too much rain
in various sections. Around the call the old
crops were put 2 to 3 points over yesterday's
close, while October was put 5 points over.
Profit taking set in on a large scale on this
advance, ami the offerings from this source were
too heavv for the ring to absorb. At the end
of the first half hour the list stood 2 to 3
points under yesterday's close.
Realizing of profits by satisfied longs was the
main feature of the morning session. At noon
old crops were 13 to 15 points under yesterday's
close, and the new crops 6 to 9 points under.
The market closed steady at a net decline of 6
to 10 points.

General Weather Report,
Reports received at San Antonio Tuesday,
April 11, of observations taken at all stations
at 8 p. ui. 75th meridian tluie:
—Temperature—
known here today wlieu persons < lose to
President Kenefick announced that be
would sail for Paris Saturday. Mr. Kene-
fick co far has received all his financial |
insistaiifft from French capitalists and ha.s i
been able to push the construction of bis ;
lines with their aid. Now lie goes to the
French financiers seeking additional loans
t< finance the construction of a direct line
from Muskogee to Oklahoma
This is part <>f the plans on which -Mr.
Kenefick and ex-Governor Charles M. Has-
kell i'f Oklahoma have been working 1«t
smiie time. Mr. Haskell has financed, pro-
moled aud constructed several lines in
Oklahoma, particularly the Cherokee
i'nion, later suld to the Frisco. This line
runs from Fayetteville, Ark., to Muskogee,
and is one of the best feeders of the rrlseo
sytem. .. .
Practically every railroad operating in
Oklahoma today is seeking an entrance
into Oklahoma City, so great has become
the place as a jobbing and distributing
point. Passenger travel to the capital of
the new Stute has also grown, particularly
from the east side of the State. At present
the connections aud sendee to Oklahoma
City from all points north of Denison • n
the Katv, are very poor, except at South
Me A lost er and Atoka, where the Rock
Island and Katy have lines entering Okla-
homa City. x ,
It consumes an entire day now to make
the trip fr< in Muskogee to uklahoma City,
necessitating several changes of cars, slow
time, antiquated equipment and bad con-
nections. The Missouri, Oklahoma & Gtnf
operates a sleeper from Muskogee to Okla-
homa Citv over their lines to Rustin, where
the Fort Smith &■ Western takes it to Fa 11 is
over its own rails and then over the Katy
to Oklahoma City. '
To reach Oklahoma City from Muskogee
over the lvaty one must travel over the
Tulsa branch to Osage and then down the
Kut.v's line from Parsons to Oklahoma |
City, or down the main line t<> Atoka, then i
over the Shawnee branch to Oklahoma
City.
The building of the Missouri, Oklahoma ]
A Gulf into Oklahoma City from Muskogee i
would give both places excellent service I
and the new line would open up a praeti- j
callv new country not as yet reached tt.v
a railroad and one that is rich in mineral
wealth, particularly oil. gas and conl and
some of the best agricultural country in
the new State.
The new line will probably touch ok-
mill gee aud then travel in a southwestern
and northeastern direction generally.

EVERYBODY BUSY IN MONTEREY
No Signs of a Revolution Are Seen
There.
Special Telegram to Tb« Express.
MONTEREY, Mexico, April 11.—A i e-
grti Pullman porter beat up his wife so
badly Sunday night that she had lo be
taken to the City Hospital for treatment.
The po'.ter boarded his car and locked
the doors, thus evading arrest. It Is
sa'.d that in order not to complicate mat-
ters with tho railroad company or the
Pullman company, the authorities ha"o
ordered his arrest at the end of ins rti.i.
An American gentleman who has re-
cently returned from Tampico said that
while there he made a run down to
Tnxpan, State of Vera Cruz, to look
at the oil wells and big plants of tho Ua.
Mexicana de Petrollo. Marvelous prog-
ress Is being made and millions of gal-
lons of oil which had been going to
waste from the Pearson well had been
checked in Its flow and will now be al-
most sufficient supply for this side of
the world It is said that a large em-
bankment has been built around the well
to r. height of over fifty feet and that
with tills well alone the Mexican com-
pany could compete with the Standard
■ ill Company. Everything is reported
very quiet In that section as far as the
revolution is concerned.
A. wet norther struck Monterey Sat-
urday night and has continued for the
past three days. Tho rain was badly
needed, as the regulation whirlwinds and
di.st stonns had begun again. Although
the streets are at present in an awfjlly
muddy condition, traffic remains heavy,
us business is rushing in every line II
would seem that the revolution was In-
deed at rti end to see how busy the Mon-
terey incichnnts are at present. They
thQiuselvcs cannot explain why.

GUADAEAJARA, Mexico, April 11.—W.
A. Aldrlch of Grand Rapids, Mich., who
Is completing a gas plant and distribut-
ing system here for San Francisco in-
terests, bas gone to Monterey to 100k
over the field, with a view to building a
gas plant for the Mackenzie-Mann Inter-
ests of Canada, which own the mr;e*
railway and lighting and power systems
of the Nuevo Eeon capital. Lewis

sie-Mann enterprises iu Monterey, visited
this city recently and Inspected the gas
plant here, letter, he arranged with Mr.
Aldrlch to visit Monterey.
The Guadalajara Gas Company has
lam mains through tho principal busi-
ness and residence sections of this c'ty,
and will be ready to deliver gas dutuig
t.ie coming month.
Efforts are being made to secure ln-
1,) ers here for the West Coast extinslcbii
of the Southern pacific in Teplc. The
ctr tractors have IKK) men at work, un 1
need double that number. There U a
scarcity of laborers in Teplc. due in part,
it ,a said, to tho fact that many men of
that section have gone to join the ln-
surecto hands.
Tho scarcity of labor may make It Im-
possible ic,r the contractors to compete
the Southern Pacific line to the city of
Teplc De? .re the opening of the rainy
season. In such event. Southern Pa-fic
trains probably will not enter the Teplc
capital before fall.

Fort Worth Gets New Police Chief.
FORT WtJRTH, Tex., Aurll 11.—A dark
horse, J. W. Ren fro, formerly superin-
tendent of the Northern Texas Traction
Company and superintendent of streets
in Fort Worth, was appointed chief of
police this morning. His name had never
been mentioned iu connection with the
of fire. Applicants for the place num-
bered fifteen and the contest had aroused
much interest. L.. J. Polk is the retiring
chief. No other changes were made bv
the new city commission, which took ol-
eic* today.
"When I want something very, very
much, and am rather doubtful about get-
ting it, I wear my most becoming dress
and have Bob's favorite dish for dinner."
This confidence, given by a Wise Wife
to a half dozen tea tabic friends, caused
the entire six to pay strict attention and
call eagerly for an encore.
"You have no idea of the soothing or
rather, the flattering effect of a becoming
gown on a tired husband. A man likes
to think the woman he has chosen to
honor with his name and affection is the
most attractive woman in the world, and
when she disillusions him with soiled neg-
ligees, wilted party frocks or last spring's
suit worn shiny, he feels that he has been
cheated of a large portion of the world's
envy and respect. It Is sort of a slap
at his good taste and personal Judgment,
either of which is unforgivable to a man
of character.
"About this time he notices the wife ol
Mr. !>., who wears the very last word in
fashion, and who always looks as tf some
clothes artist designed her gowns. Yet
Mr. B.'s income is less than his own. Re-
sult: It is by a mere stroke of good for-
tune and a hasty replenishing of a frayed
wardrobe that he is persuaded not to
keep on noticing another and more at-
tractive woman.
FRUMPINESS A LOVEJ CURE.
"The woman who commits the sin of
drifting into careless clothes habits de-
serves a sharp lesson. Frumpinesa is the
best sort of a love cure and does as much
to keep the divorce mills grinding as any
other neglect. It is a kind of marriage
suicide, whereby the husband is sub-
mitted to a succession of shocks admin-
istered to his pride in and admiration of
his wife. Gradually the Ideal woman h»
wedded descends front her»pedestal and
becomes a mere creature of earth a4>d
dishevelled halrdresslnsr. The dainty lit-
tle ribbons of her trousseau lingerie ar«
but memories, and she Invariably forgets
to send her shoes to have the heels
straightened. That Is a tragedy suie to
end In a decree with reasonable alimony.
"Now, 1 happen to know that Bob Is
very fund of white, and that he likes to
see me wear it. So when I think he Is
coming home tired, or when there Is
something I want and haven't quite th«
courage 10 ask, I put on his favorlt*
white dinner dress and pin some red roses
at the corsage, because Bob always sends
me red roses.
A BIT OF DIFLOMACT.
"I've practiced this bit of diplomacy
for five years now, and It has never y«t
failed to bring about the desired results.
Moreover, when I feel I am pleasing In
his eves, It gives mo new spirit and th«
coquetries of courting days are uncon-
sciously revived. -
"When a man can look at his wife an®
think how clever he must have been t®
have won her away from all the other
fellows, and how lucky he Is to hava
such a woman for his companion and
mate, she Is in no danger of being re-
placed bv the most beautiful woman la
tho world. And if she adds th« warm
glow that comes with a good dinner, sM
might ask for the moon and stand *
pretty fair chance of setting it"
