Threshold of Eternity;" Friday eve
ning, "Tho Good Shepherd."

ture of all missions conducted by the
Paulist Fathers is the "Question Box."
All questions concerning the teaching
or tne catholic church, piacea in a
box provided for this purpose, are an
swered each evening, Just before the
sermon. By this method, the mis
sionaries are enaoiea to loucn upon a
greater variety of subjects and still
more Important, upon tho very subjects
on which people are seeking lnforma
tlon.
In keeping with its time-honored
custom, the choir of St. Michael's
church has prepared special music for
the exercises of the mission.

Market Conditions
The Latest Wire Reports on Cotton,
Bonds, Stocks, Etc.
STATE OF FERMENT
IN STOCK MARKET
Restoration of Normal Conditions
Likely to Be Very Slow.
NEW YORK, March 12. Develop
ments of the week in the financial. dis
trict and the leading commodity mar
kets strengthened the belief held in
well-informed banking circles that res
toration of normal conditions in com
merce and industry is likely to be of
very slow growth. The stock market
was In a constant state of ferment,
oach succeeding segsion showing great
er activity. This was largely to the
detriment of quoted values, however,
many of the more conspicuous issues
repeating or exceeding last year's
minimum prices.
Estimates of the relative proportion
of long and short sales differed widely
but the tone of the market in the later
dealings clearly indicated that shorts
had succeeded in their efforts to dis
lodge weakened holdings and provoke
fresh liquidation.
The dominent factor In the decline
centered around the railroad situation
In relation to the forthcoming nation
wide reduction of wages. Returns of
tho railroads for tho first mont'i of
tho year were extremely disappointing
and figures for February diminution
was due to smaller grain and cotton
shipments and the decline of steel and
iron delivery. Failure of the London
conference and the consequent occupa
tion of Germany by the allied forces
was another adverse influence. The
immediate effect of this development
was lss obvious in the foreign ex
change market, however, than in the
set-back which threatens this coun
try's European trade.
Reduction of the rate on British ex
chequer bills was the one hopeful note
sounded abroad and gave rise to dis
cussion of a possible lower Bank of
England rate. The latter move, it was
thought, might i have a very direct
bearing upon the attitude of the fiscal
authorities who control interest and
discount rates in this market.
BEARS TO COVER
IN STOCK MARKET
Enforced Liquidation Effected
tional Price Impairment.
Addi-
NEW YORK, March 12 Bears were
driven to cover in the .stock market
today after an early period in which
their operations, coupled with further
enforced liquidation effected additional
price Impairment. Contrary to recent
days, rails were comparatively strong,
aside from Reading, whose reactionary
course was attended by more signs of
disapproval of the proposed coal seg
regation plan. Transcontinental rail
rallied moderately from their heavi
ness 'of yesterday's depression con
verging mainly about the oils, steels
and equipments.

down in the early reaction, but the
ease with which prices in general ral
lied towards the close confirmed the
impression that the shorts were in an
over extended position. Sales amount
ed, to 525,000 shares.
Striking features of the clearing
house statement embraced a large con
traction $62,345,000 in actual loans
and discounts; an increase of almost
$27,000,00 in members reserves at the
federal bank and a gain of about $30,
000,000 in actual cash swelling the ex
cess reserves to almost $34,700,000, the
largest total reported so far this year
PRICE OF COTTON
IS SENT LOWER
Reported Bank Failure in London Re
sponsible for Early Selling.
NEW ORLEANS, March 12. The
price of cotton was sent to lower
levels today by selling .that started
on the opening and was in evidence
until after mid-session when realizing
by shorts became heavy enough to
check the downward movement and
brought about small recoveries. At the
lowest the trading months were IS to
22 points under the final prices of yes
terday. At this level May stood at
11.06. The close showed net losses on
the day of 15 to 16 points with May
at 11.12.
The bank failure reported at London
was responsiblo for most of tho early
selling. Covering by shorts started
on the initial decline but it was not in
sufficient volume to affect prices until
Well into the session. After the effect
of the London news wore off, fresh
offerings were induced by telegrams
from New England telling of curtail
ment among the cotton mills of that
section by sales of only 60,000 pieces
of print cloths in Fall River this week
and by the news of the failure of a
shirt manufacturing concern in Phil
adelphia. Much rain over the cotton region
was regarded as unfavorable and
likely to delay plowing for the new
crop but it caused comparatively lit
tle buying although it helped to steady
the tone in the late trading.

FURTHER DECLINE
IN COTTON MARKET
No Improvement in Reports From Do
mestic Goods Trade.
NEW YORK, March 12. There
was a further decline in the cotton
market today. The reported failure
of a London banking and mercantile
firm emphasized unsettled conditions
abroad. These features caused con
tinued liquidation by early week buy
ers and the price of May broke to
11.38 ov the lowest touched since the
rally of last week. It later worked up
to 11.55 and closed at 11.50 with the
general list closing barely steady at a
decline of 8 to 12 points.
The market opened steady at an
advance of 5 .points on March but
generally to 12 points lower. There
was scattered southern selling com
bined with local and Wall street
liquidation which was probably pro
moted by reports of an unsettled test
ing of irregularity in the stock mar
ket. There was considerable covering
for over the week end but before the
decline was checked active months
showed net losses of 20 to 22 points
with July selling at 11.8'. The fact
that May sold through 11.50 which
had bee the point o fresistance pre
viously during the week, probably en
couraged some of the local selling, but
the demand from shorts was sufficient
to check the decline during the mid
dle of the morning and there were ral
lies of several points from the lowest
in the latter trading with July selling
up to 12.03. This improvement was
not fully maintained and there seemed
to be a little more southern selling
just before the close. Fall River sales
for the-week were estimated at 60.000
pieces and curtailment of production
at 120,000. Manchester cables report
ed no improvement in the demand for
goods and said strong protests were
being made against the increased duty
on imports of cotton goods by India.
