Pittsburg Mrs. w. II. Parker. OF
Grand View avenue, Duquesne Heights,
rendered whooping cough lawn fete
the other evening at her home In
honor of her son George, who is
suffering from the disease. Over a
score Of his little friends attended,
all OF them similarly afflicted"
This bona fide society note was sent
to the newspapers here for publica-
tion
Pittsburg is suffering from an epi
demic of whooping cough, and every
child on Duquesne Heights has the dis
ease and many of the papas and
mamas Of the children have It, too.
The youngsters get tired remaining in
the house. and as physicians declare
that outdoor exercise is the best thing
in the world for whooping cough, Mrs.
Parker decided on the lawn fete.
The party was whooping success
Everyone present whooped, some OF
them until they were red in the face
To add zest TO the affair, Mrs. Parker
offered prizes to the boy or girl who
whooped the longest and loudest and
booby prize for the one who only
wheezed.
There were many complaints when
the prizes were awarded, and some
of the unsuccessful ones claimed that
the winners had an advantage over
them. as they had had the disease
longer.
Lunch was served to the music of
barking With the lunch Mrs. Parker
served a mild mixture of the medicine
which every kid on Duquesne Heights
has to take about every Ave minutes
to keep from whooping his head off
IL was only by the liberal use of the
mixture that some of the youngsters
could eat at all.
Many of the little ones were accom-.
panied by their mamas, who have con.
tracted whooping cough from them,
and the affair was such big success
that several Of the mothers who at
tended are arranging to give return
entertainments.

! SLOW RECOVERY IN
 STOCK MARKET Conspicuous Show of Strength of Half Dozen Securities LARGE SHORT INTEREST
Favorable Weather Condition In the Wheat Regions Has Good Effect. Small Volume and
 Light Demand.

New York, May 24-The stock market was comparatively free from pressure today, and this opened the way for the slow recovery in prices which took place. The small volume and the slight urgency of the demand were striking in view of the assertions current for some time of the dimensions of the short interest which was being built up.
 The conspicuous show of strength in to- days trading was restricted to half a dozen stocks which are always the favor ite medium of operations by the highly speculative element on the stock ex- change. Suppositions as to the dimen- sons of the short interest are based on quite active borrowing demand for number of stocks which Is reflected In the loaning rates of those stocks Borrow CTS of these stocks are offering to advance funds against the stock loan and to fore go any interest return whatever, which is expressed by the stock market term, that the stock is loaning flat.
 On other stocks, which are not loaning absolutely flat, there is still a sufficient borrowing demand to secure the stocks for delivery so that the interest rate on money advanced Is accepted at less than the ruling rate for money. The difference of the demand with the cessation of the Active pressure to liquidate today in face of this technical index of large out standing short interest arouses some sus- picion of borrowing of stocks against sales that are really sold in liquidation, in order to conceal the appearance of liqui- daton or it's sources.
 Recent sales of stocks here for foreign account also are believed to have been large, and it is customary in such cases to borrow stocks for delivery pending the arrival of certificates from abroad, thus increasing the appearance of a large ex- isting short interest, the cessation of liquidation in stocks for which there Is broad and active market left, and some of the less active issues to be disposed of. The wide declines recorded in some of the usually dormant stocks was feature of the day. In order to effect a sale even of a small block of such stocks, the price had to be offered down many points be- fore meeting a bid.
 The news of the day to which most im- portance was attached was that of more favorable weather conditions in the wheat regions. Additional moisture in the south west was regarded as giving promise of improvement In the winter wheat crop. The later recovery in the wheat market had the effect of checking the slow ad- vance in stocks. A factor in the early de- pression was the break in Consolidated Gas, based on the announced intention of city and state authorities to move for nullfication of it's franchises. Other stocks which have been under severest pressure recently showed the effects of an uncov- cred short interest and helped the rally ing tendency of prices. New York Central was such a stock.

The Market Goes Higher Shortly After the Opening on Shorts Cover ing, But It Loses of

New York. May 24.-The cotton market was less active today and fluctuations were irregular with the close steady. net unchanged to points higher Sales were estimated at SOOOOd bales.
 The opening was steady at unchanged prices to an advance of points, and shortly afterwards the market was about 6 to 10 points net higher on covering of shorts and fresh buying for long accounts, which was encouraged by the continued bullshness of private crop reports, less favorable weather map, showing rain in central sections of the belt and in parts of the western and eastern belt and a forecast calling for continued unsettled weather on Saturday.
 The absence of cables appeared to be checking general business, however. and the market weakened during the latter trading under realizing or liquidation and local bear pressure in absence of aggres- sive bull support.
 Prices were about 6 to 8 point net lower on the actvie months at 1 o'clock in the afternoon, but rallied to points toward the close on covering.
 The into sight figures for the week were under early estimate and 1t was predicted that the visible supply figures tomorrow would make a bullish showing. Southern spot markets reported early, were un- changed to 1sc later.
