able R«.:^s In East
NEW YORK, April 16.—(A5)—Cot
ton opened steady at a decline of
i to 7 points. Rain3 in the eastern
belt were considei'ed unfavorable,
but their influence seemed to be off
set by relatively easy Liverpool ca
bles and better weather forecast.
Further liquidation of May was ab
sorbed by trade buying on the de
1 cline.
Net losses of 6 to 9 points were
showing by the end of the first half
hour, with July selling at $19.80 and
new October at $19.68.
i Except for further evening up of
near months and transferring of
near to later deliveries, no special
trading feature developed later.
General busines swas quiet, but the
absorption of near month offerings
by the trade gave the market a
fairly steady tone. Prices at mid
day were about 2 to 6 points net
lower.
NEW ORLEANS, April 16.—(ZD
Low er Liverpool cables than due
and dry weather in the central and
western belts accounted for losses
in first trades on the cotton mar
ket of from 5 to 8 points.
A rally set in after the market
opened with prices advancing ? to
3 points, but again eased off with
May going down to 19.66, July to
19.73 and October 19.58, or 8 to 10
points under yesterday's close.

ly unfavorable to the change desired
by local interests.
“The principal ground on which
these adverse conclusions were based
is:
“The advantages to be gained by
locating the turning basin at a point
about four miles northeast of
Brownsville are not sufficiently
greater than the advantages of a
sheltered location south of Point
Isabel to justify the additional ex
pense involved.
“You are further notified that all
interested parties have the privilege
of an appeal from this, conclusion
to the board of engineers for rivers
and harbors, a permanent body sit
ting at Washington, D. C., to which
all examination and survey reports
of this character are referred. Par
ties desiring to do so may be heard
on appeal by the board, either orally
or in writing. Written communi
cations should be addressed to the
board of engineers for rivers and
harbors, Munitions Bldg., Washing
ton, D. C., and should be mailed in
time to be in the possession of the
said board within four weeks from
the date of this communication. If,
however, you have important data
to communicate to the board, which
cannot be collected and put in shape
for proper presentation within four
weeks, the board should be informed
of this fact without delay and re
quest made for an extension of the
limiting date for submitting infor
mation. If oral Hearings are de
sired, dates for the same may be
arranged for by correspondence
with the board.
“Any further information needed
may be obtained by application to
this office, but attention is invited
to the following regulation as to the
manner in which such information
may be furnished.
“Where interested parties desire
data necessary for the preparation
of their appeal to the board of en
gineers for rivers and harbors, it
will be given them verbally by the
district officer, or in his absence, by
the senior assistant engineer con
nected with the improvement. They
will not be permitted to have access
to the report without authority from
the chief of engineers.
“You are requested to communi

ly applauded. He played encores
after each group.
“Before the Crucifix.” by Frank
La Forge, sung in English, was the
second number by Mme. Schumann
Heink, and “Wohin,” by Franz Schu
bert in German concluded the first
group. She sang an encore in Ger
man.
Her second group consisted of five
folk Songs in German. “Spinner
Liedchen,” from the seventeenth
century appeared to be the best
liked by the audience, although the
applause was liberal for all of them.
A British song of the World war,
“Danny Boy,” recalled the days of
strife to her hearers when she sang
it as an encore and the applause
was enthusiastic. Three beautiful
bouquets were carried to the stage
at, the close of this group. The
concluding group consisted of five
numbers, all but the last in English.
These were “Dawn in the Desert,”
by G. Roos; “Trees,” by Oscar Rac
bach; “Kerry Dance,” by J. L. Mal
loy; “His Lullaby,” by C. A. Bond,
and “Bolero,” by L. Arditi, sung in
Italian.
The German Christmas song, Si
lent Night, Holy Night,” sang in
German and “The Rosary,” in Eng

The party left here last night for
San Antonio and Mme. Schumann
Heink and her assistants are to be

Every day young men and women come
to the Valley to work—lured by the
great opportunities. They are going
to make their home here. Of course,
their first problem, common to all, is a
room—a pleasant room—a room that can
be called home.
Today, these newcomers will sit down
with a Herald, a pencil, and a phone.
They will read the Rent Room ads and
select the one, or several, that fit their
needs, viz: the right location at the price
they can afford to pay. No waste of
time; no physical exertion or worry.
No “For Rent” sign could reach these
people—no sign ever reached 30,000 peo
ple a night. You'll want to have your ad
where they look, and a phone call to
phone No. 8 will put it there. Rent today.
Consider the money lost in an idle room.
Figure it out for yourself in the chart be
low! '
