SPECULATIVE STAPLES HIGHER.
Wheat, Corn and Cotton Show an
Advance in Price

Advance in Price.
NEW YORK, May 14-Dun & Co.'S
weekly review of trade tomorrow will
say: Spectators have enjoyed an adj
vance in wheat. corn, cotton and some
other products, although obliged to sell
wool and sugar at lower figures in
order to realize. Imports Of merchan-
else, $18,382,O19 for the week at New
York alone, are "a per cent larger than
a year ago, making the increase Al
per cent for the past six weeks, and
have affected the exchange markets
and helped further shipments Of gold,
which amount for the week to $780,
600, but are practically balanced by re-
ceipts from the interior and cause no
serious apprehension Of financial dis
turbance. Men feel that present con-
ditions are only temporary although
they tend to prevent immediate invest
ment.
Western wheat receipts continue
larger than last year, 2,109,123 bushels
against 1,870.367 a year ago, and At
lantic exports also increased for the
two weeks Of May, amounting to 3,106,-
909 bushels, flour included, against g.
083,4 IA last year. Exports of corn are
still large, 5,5S6,S55 bushels for two
weeks, against 1904, 1871 last year, and,
in part. account for the smaller de-
mand for wheat.
The output Of pigiron for the week
ending May 1, was s170,528 tons,
against 1929 April 1, and the stocks
great steel making companies, in
creased only 8,8O8,000 tons. Nothing
new can be said Of the cotton manu-
facture, which still lacks demand
enough to lift the print cloths above
the lowest point ever known and prices
Of other grades of cotton do not i'm
prove. Wooden goods are doing better
than for weeks past, and yet there is
not enough demand to create enthus-
iasm or to raise prices, while there is
great uncertainty regarding the future
of the markets. Sales of wool have
sharply decreased, and, for the week,
barely exceed a weeks consumption,
while prices are weaker at Eastern
markets.

GREEN INSTEAD OF RED.
CHIEF JOHNSON ADVISES A
CHANGE IN THE COLOR OF THE
TWO-CENT STAMP.

OfiANbE IN THE COllOH Ot' THE
TWO-CENT STAMP.
Wilmingtonians, in common with the
people the country over, will soon be
licking and sticking green instead of
red two-cent postage stamps.
Chief Johnson, of the Bureau Of En-
craving and Printing, recently recon-
mended TO the secretary of the Treas
ury a change in the color of the two
cent postage stamp from red to green.
The principal reasons for recommend
ing the change was that red is consid-
cred two fiashya color for a government
document and that the use of green,
which is believed TO DE a more dignified
and permanent color, would save the
government a considerable sum of
money, fully $4,000 year. Chief
Johnson contended that the green
shows much clearer and more distinct
than the red. and altogether makes a
much better stamp. The recommends
ton has received the approval OF Sec
retary Gage and has also been approved
by the postmaster general. The mali
ter was talked over at the Cabinet
meeting yesterday, and a decision
reached to make the change. The coloi

the same shade of green as that used
in printing silver certificates and
United States notes. The saving in th6
cost OF the green ink will mainly aris'
from the fact that the government
purchases large quantities OF green ink
while the red is purchased in small
quantities. The number of two-cen'
stamps which The government now
prints annually is about 3,000,000,000
1t is probable that before the snow
lies the old red two-cent stamp viii
have been replaced by a green stamp.
