We had been puzzled to know how
to dispose of waste paper and other
rubbish when there was no fire in the
range. A piece of chicken wire netting
hve feet long and three feet wide
Was rolled to form hollow cylinder
An old tin dish pan was fastened to
the bottom with some bits of wire
and our "crematory" was complete.
Into this wire basket we dump all the
rubbish and when we want to burn II
a lighted match is pushed through the
netting and another old pan is turned

For six days this week wheat
traders had bearlsh news from
all quarters of the globe. Most
important was the news from Ar
gentlna where all kinds of big
estimates were being made on the
surplus which can be spared for
Europe. Liverpool cables day after
day told of, cheaper offerings of
wheat from that quarter. Close of
navigation at Duluth was followed
by an increase of over two mil
lion bushels in stocks northwest.
Rain and snow fall came just in
time to furnish the moisture need
ed by the winter wheat states
Cne thing stood in the way of a
decline in the market under $1 90
for May and that was important
buying by strong bull leaders. Late
yesterday and today the feeling
abroad changed radically. Liverpool
showing about 2nd recovery from
the low point Friday morning.
London cabled that the Offering of
the Argentine wheat was over done.
Late cables also confirm rainy
weather for the harvests In that
country. Those who had been at
tempting to force lower prices
all week in this market gave up
the fight and switched quickly
to the buying side. The result was
an advance in the May price to
l$1.O1 5-S very quickly before the
close today. The action OF the mar
ket today goes to show the ad-
vantage of having discretionary
order In the hands of the COM
mission man to act quickly on
such a change OF feeling in the
ltrade. The trader who has fixed

lower prices may well place a
definite order to either buy or sell

better than to have their discre-

Is needless to say that all our
facilities and experience are used
to turn every trade into a
profit so far as possible. One
pleased customer brings others.
The past 4S hours have brought
rain and snow extensively over the
corn shipping sections. 1t is a
struggle at best to get NEW corn
to the market and this excessive
moisture makes 1t still more
difficult. Nebraska points are re-
ported as shipping corn to North
ern Iowa and Minnesota. Illinois
farmers have rather high ideas as
to prices on this short crop be-
cause old corn on the tail end of
the great crop of 1906 is bringing
fancy figures. Any continuation of
the present weather conditions and
light receipts may again give us
60c price for May corn in this
market.

The banking business in Clai-

fully within the past six years. In
fact, we doubt that there is a man
in the county who will not be sur
prised to see the figures.
According to the statement of
the Port Gibson Bank-the only
banking institution at the time.-
published in January of 1901, the
total business amounted, in round
numbers, to $I88, 1000. Since that
date three other banks have been
established. They are as follows :
Miss. National, Miss. Savings
Bank & Loan Co. and Bank of
Hermanville. The last statement
of the banks of the county showed
a total business of $685. 800,
$50, 800 more than the business of
six years ago. The business is di-
vided as follows Port Gibson
Bank, $272, 700; Miss. National
