Why Work In the Dark?

A housekeeper, who ignores the fact
that cooking in all its branches is max
ing long strides, might as well shut out
the light of day from her kitchen and
try to prepare her meals in the dark.
How much there is to learn in the very
rudiments of cooking, especially pas
try cooking, will be shown Monday af-
ternoon and Tuesday at Putney &
Chamberlain store, where scientific
pastry cook is demonstrating the value
to every household of None Such food
specialties. 1t is scientific cooking, to
be sure, and of pastry cooking exclu-
sively, but at the same time it is SIM
plicity itself. Beginners and experts
can learn something at these demon
strations. They are free.

STEEL AND IRON
 AGAIN VERY WEAK Market Closed Heavy on Account
 of Break. lN0USTRlAlS ALL HEAVY Operations in the Stock Market Con- tinued to be Left Largely to Pro- fessionals-Movem Was
 Irregular and Confused
INDUSTRIES ALL HEAVY

New York, May 15.-operations in the stock market continued to be left largely to professional hands today. The move ment was exceedingly irregular and con fused all day. Generally speaking, it could be fairly said that railroad stocks were firm to strong. while the Industrials were weak.
 This distinction was obvious at the open ing of the market, and the days trading tended rather to emphasize it, except that the demoralizing tendency in the Steel In- dustrials ultimately affected the whole list and dragged back even the strongest of the railroads.
 There was a brief show of strength after the opening by Federal Steel and Steel and Wire, probably on covering of shorts sold in yesterdays break, but the late trading in these stocks, as we'll as others of the group, fell to the lowest in the present movement. The extreme declines ranged all the way from 1 to nearly points, the latter being Tennessee Coal
 There was no definite news to account for the weakness, but rumors were plenti- full that dividends would be reduced or passed, and that further deep cuts were pending in the price of the output of the largest competitor of the steel companies whose stocks are dealt in on the stock ex- change.
 The Industrial department was helped by some buying for London account, where prices rallied on easy money and encour- aging war news. The relief to the London money market afforded by the receipts of Russian gold aroused the hope that no inn mediate demand would be made on New York by London for gold. This was an in- fluence in the days strength in our stock market, although it is expected further Thursdays steamer. The statement of the April foreign trade of the United States, disclosing a maintenance of extraordinarily favorable conditions, has elevated some what the evidences of the continued reac- ton in interior trade. The market closed heavy and unsettled by the break in Steel and Industrials, the railroads holding only part of their gain.
 The bond market was not active, but prices were held and well sustained.

sequence suffered a loss of Il points from the top of the day.
 The weekly bureau report published tc6ay was partly favorable to the growing crop, outside of Texas, in which state it is said that much planting remains to be done in the central and southern portions and gen orally the crop in that state is late and ir regular. This does not speak we'll for an early movement inasmuch as south Texas is the earliest producer of new cotton of all the states. Spots here closed steady at a loss of 1-16c for middling. Showery weather is reported for the next two days and this is probably favorable to the grow Ing crop, but it won't do for Texas to get too much moisture.

: New York, May 15.-Commercial Adver- tiser's London financial cablegram: The markets here were irregular at the start today but they gradually improved. and the finish was quite cheerful on war news, and the tendency to discount the re- lief of Mafeking. Cheap money also helped funds.
 Americans began rather sanguine, but died out for half an hour, then steadily strengthened till the close New York &C., cepting the rise and supporting the higher prices. The finish at the top Business is decidedly brisker than lately, even the public buying slightly. E. Call money was very easy although treasury bills were paid for The county council loan is said to have been post poned to keep the field clear for fresh war loan This is probably mere guess. f5O0 900 gold came in from Russia and f4,- 600 went out to South America. l.fs

 IMPROVEMENT IN ' COTTON MARKET But Speculation Failed to In- crease on the Reaction. ENCOURAGING CROP NEWS This Was One of the Main Factors Which Tended to Create Bear ish Trading and Restrain
 the Bulls
ENCOURAGING CROP NEWS

New York, May 15.-The ruling of the market for cotton futures was better early today, but speculation failed to improve on the reaction. The uplift was largely due to unexpected firmness in Liverpool. Among the factors tending to create bear ish trading and to restrain bull specula- tion were very encouraging crop accounts and evidences of weakness in southern spot markets.
 A feature of the forenoon's operations was buying of the July and August posi- ton by Wall street and prominent export interests, causing relative firmness in those options. The later months were kept steady all day by purchases for profit the latter begin chiefly for the account of outsiden- vestors.
 The business received from the south went almost entirely to the short side, this being quite in line with recent trade from that quarter. Until the last half, aft ernoon developments were uneventfui At that time a burst of very heavy selling for both accounts from all quarters carried prices down with a rush. New Orleans led in the selling.
 At the close the market was easy with prices, net ? points higher to lower.
