PLENTY OF SUPPLIES
FOR RUSSIAN TROOPS

st. Petersburg, March 31.-The chief
of the commissariat department, Rost-
kovsky, says that not pound of meat
or bread is being sent to Manchuria,
as the cattle and grain available there
are more than sufficient for the de-
mand. Enormous herds and stores of
flour are being concentrated at Har-
bin. About 100000 boxes of timed
meats will be kept at Irkutsk for the
outgoing troops and railroad men.
All the timed meats are being put
UP in ST. Petersburg and at Riga ac-
cording to a German process by which
the contents can be served hot, with
out the use of fire, the tin being placed
in another filled with water and hav-
ing false bottom containing a car
bide mixture, which is forced into the
water when it is desired to do so, and
brings the contents of the inner can to
a boiling point.

CHARITY SHARKS
At THE TREASURY
Watchmen Drive Away
Girls Selling Tickets.
SYSTEM OF THE PROMOTERS
How Women Sometimes Live in Luxury
on Money Given for Support
of Poor.

Professional charity promoters who
come to the Treasury Department for
the purpose of getting subscriptions
from clerks and employees are having a
had time OF 1t. Two who were in the
builCing yesterday for this purpose were
driven out by the watchmen, with the
understanding that further visit would
mean a ride to the police station in the
patrol
The individuals who were ordered out
of the building were attractive and
fashionably gowned young women. They
said they were selling tickets for a local
charity and they were exceedingly in
dignant when told they would have to
go. They were dispcsing of tickets at a
flourishing rate. for they had an ex-
ceedingly taking way of holding heart
to heart talks with their victims. Even
the oldest and most grlzzled heads OF
bureaus speedily lost their heads and
were deluded into giving up their hard
earned coin for tickets.
Treasury officials say they heartily
sympathize with the efforts of the mana
gers of the Associated Charities to drive
out the professional organizers of charity
entertainments. In the last few years
AAO hANlC AtOHDlG LdS Dctn liet0 at the
Treasury with persons making this their
business. The charity promoters come
over from New York, hire rooms at a
fashionable hotel, and then send out a
few attractive young women 10 hypnO-
tie the public into a mood to divest 1t
self OF money.
In some way, the professional organ
izers obtain names of heads of dlvis-
Ions in the Treasury and Others that
they have reason to believe have means
TO give to charity. 1t Is the plan of the
organizers 20 turn over TO the local
charity small percentage of the sum
raised. The rest goes to the promoters.
Last year the Treasury watchmen had
trouble with fine appearing young wo-
man whose principal was a styishly-
dressed female having a suite Of rooms
at a fashionable hotel The young wo-
man was ordered out. but returned. and
was finally sent to the police station.
Detectives were set to work on the
case, and had no trouble I'm locating the
principal who was existing In luxury
and evidently making large profits out
OF the scheme. It was found she pur-
chased $500 purse at a local jeweler' s.

The sales Of spirits amounted to $50

WARE & LELAND
Say That Bears Are in Control of
the Market.

New York, May 21.-Another break
to-day and one that carried July to
about 1914 cents. New crop were weak
as well and the tendency of prices was
towards a lower level. Bears have
control of the market for the time be-
ing, just as bulls had all through the
season. 1t is not wise to run against
a buzz saw. There will be a chance
some day to get new crop months for
higher prices and big money. But it
is foolish to anticipate. AS long as
news is good and old crop months weak,
there is no use trying to oppose the
market.
July may run even lower than it
went to-day. We would ask for moth
ing better than to get new crop be-
low 101a or 1914 cents The lower they
go, the bigger chance to make money
later on. In the mean time, it is a
fine market to watch. We don't be-
grudge the bears this break. They need
it after all the losses this year. They
have been bears since 912 cents, and
July sold at 1912 cents this morning.
But as far as the bear side goes, it
is not good policy at the present
time.

Daily Resume of Cotton and Grain
Market.


New York, May 21.-The cotton mar
ket opened irregular with prices of ac-
tive options spreading over a wide
range. In the old crop months there
was some pressure by the bear CROWD,
while at the same time number of
tired bulls sold out. The conditions OF
influence generally were not materially
changed. The advices from the belt
with regard to the crop situation was
rather mixed. but for most part a fair
ly good condition was indicated.
The receipts were fair, but the statis-
tics in the main were bullish, the pros
poets favoring continued bullish statis-
tics during the balance of the season.
Tho millers' reports were without spe-
clal feature, in fact the New England
interests seemed TO be working for
plan to bring about further depression.
Later in the day there was a mixed
feeling and the sentiment in the pit
on the close regarding the probable
course of the market in the near future
was quite conflicting.
