Hotels and Summer Resorts
SCIENTIFIC VISITING IN
 NEW YORK
Every Detail of a Stay at the St. Regis Hotel may be planned
BEFORE YOU LEAVE YOUR OWN HOME

The twentieth century turist plans his itinerary before he starts, and arranges for hotel accommodations as he does for transportation-in advance. The wise and seasoned visitor to New York, who comes to the city for a week or month, can do much more than this. He can cor respond with the St. Regis Hotel, located on Fifth avenue and Flfty-fifth street, and take advantage of that hotels Sci enti6c Visiting" plan. So comprehensive is this plan that the patron may lay down a complete programme of what he wants to see. where he wants to go. ana when, during the entire period of his stay in New York, leaving the de- tails to be worked out by the hotel management. Everything will be arranged for minor her, for this service appeals with particular force to ladies travelling alone-and every burden is taken off the travellers hands from the time he Is met at the railway station by the St. Regis electric cab service until he goes up the gangplank of the steamship for Europe. or returns to the railway station for the journey home. Perfect service in a per fect-hotel is the watchword at the St Regis and for this reason It's cuisine was established on the highest possible plane. but at prices no higher than charged by other first class restaurateurs. Room rates as well are reasonable: S3 and s4 a day for a large, luxuriously furnished single room; S5 a day for the same with private bath tor $6 for two peope); SIP a day and up for a splendid suite con- consisting of parlor, bed room and private bath.

WHEAT IS SOARING
 TOWARD THE SKY Top Notch Reached Saturday
 Is Again EquaIed MARKET IS VERY CHOPPY Trade In Corn Is Quiet and Market Weakens on Selling By Local Hold
 ers-Oats and Provisions
 Close Easy.
MARKET IS VERY CH0PpY

Chicago. April 5.-Wheat for May de- livery equealed today the high record mark of $1.2214 established Saturday $1 .OSd1. .O9. After a nervous session the market closed fairly steady with prices 1saAo higher, compared with the previ- ous close. Corn, oats and provisions closed easy.
 For tho fourth consecutive day wheat for July touched a new high mark for the season, but the May failed to rise above the record breaking price reached on the preceding session. The market was extremely choppy nearly all day and the volume of trade was not large. Many local traders were indisposed to extend operations owing to the holiday tomor- row and to the issuance of the gov ernment report the following day. Lead ing holders of the May delivery were credited with loberal sales of that month whenever the price neared the s1.22 mark. The opening was rather weak owing to the poor response of the Liver pool market to the strength here Sat- urday and the poor showing of the Mis- SOuAi CiVp ASPoil iOCoidOu 1 terial deterioration in the condition of fall sown wheat in that state. Early in the day the market was inclined to drag, especially the deferred futures. Buying of the May delivery by the bull lead CTS, however, caused a f1rmer feeling. Crop reports from the southwest were more optimistic than heretofore but ad- vices from the Ohio river valley were again somewhat bullish. Weekly sta- tistics seemed to have little effect, the market throughout the day fiuctuating in accordance with the attitude of prin- cipal bulls. During the day May sold $1. .211zD1. 221z, while July ranged at $1 .217s Q1 .22 and July at $1 .0S1a@1. .0Sss.
 Trade in corn was quiet and prices moved within narrow range. Receipts were again small and receipts from the country were light. The market was weak ened later in the day on selling by To- cal holders and closed at a net loss of 1s1No compared with the previous ses- sion. Quotations on May were from 6S1sQ 6S1zc and July 66ssc.
 Oats were weak throughout the great CT part of the day because of persistent selling of September by commission houses on outside orders. At the close prices were 1s@14o to ss9Nc lower, with May at 50ssc and July at 4T7sc.
 Provisions were easy because of sell ing of September products py Q western concern. Increased receipts of live hogs was a weakening influence. At the close the market was slightly lower.
 Cash quotations ranged as follow:

Hubbard Bros. 6. Co.'s Letter.

New York, April 5.-(SpeciaI "A predic- ton from the Weather Bureau that fair weather would continue over the south ana southwest for another week alarmed Europe, which bought heacily before the opening here. On our opening advance of to 10 points a wave of realizing set in on large scale, leading the local traders to look for a substantial reaction, but in the afternoon further buying orders. espe- ciallY in the last hour, when the afbitrage brokers bought on closing orders, ad- vanced the market 10 points further The close was firm at the highest prices with indications that Liverpool would follow the advance tomorrow. So far the short interest has been eliminated and a further advance depends upon a continuance of the drouth in the southwest, which may bring in apinners' buying. A rainy week would find this market without buyers.

NEW HIGH RECORDS IN COTTON MARKET Bull Movement Takes Active
 Hold In the Trading WEATHER IS CHIEF FACTOR Heavy Realizing During the Day Has No Effect Upon Prices, Which
 Close at an Advance of
 17 to 21 Points.
WEATHER IS CHIEF FACTOR

New York, April 5.-Trading in the cot- ton market today was more active and general than at any time since the bull movement of last January and prices made new high records for the season on all deliveries. The close was firm at a net advance of 1T to 2l points. The market opened firm at an advance of 10 to 12 points in response to higher cables, continued dry weather in the southwest, the official long range forecast for gen. orally fair weather in the south during the week and continued talk of bet ter trade demand.
 There was heavy realizing at the ad- vance and during the middle of the day prices reacted or points from the top, but oeffrings were extremely well taken by shorts, foreign houses and fresh buyers, and as soon as the old interests had been moderately reduced the upward movement was renewed with the market reaching the highest point in the late trading. The close was at practically the best prices of the day. May contracts sold at s.ssc, July at s.sSc and October at g. 62c, an advance of from 57 to 71 points from the low level of two weeks ago and of IS to 23 points from the closing figures of Saturday. General business seemed to be increasing and 1t looked as though the advance in prices was inspiring re- newed confidence in a bullish relationship of demand to supply next season, such as has been an underlying factor on all the upward movements since last autumn. Drouth in Texas furnishes the most prominent bull argument while the re- ports of a better spot demand and higher interior markets naturally added to con- fidence of buyers. Southern spot mar kets officially reported today were un- changed to 3-16c higher.
 Receipts at the ports today 12,1H bales. against 15,5s5 last week and 1S,346 last year. For the week 5000 bales, against 97651 last week and s9,Ss9 last year. To- days receipts at New Orleans 21o0 against 2546 last year.

New orlaens Cotton Market.

New Orleans. April 5.-Spot cotton firm. 1so up, middlng 9 11-16c. Sales on the spot, 150O bales: to arrive, 1250.
 Futures opened steady at an advance of to 6 points on much higher Liver pool cables than expected. It was a. day of bullish sensations. July fulfilled what were regarded a few days ago as wild bullish predictions by cross Ing the 1O-cent mark after an advance of a dollar a bale. Trade accounts from England, the continent of Europe, New England and New York were very good and much was made of free buying of spots by spinners in the interior south ern markets. Crop news was still un- favorable. most pessimistic reports com ing from Texas. where many counties are still suffering from drouth. Shorts cov- cred freely all day long and many pro- fessionals went heavily long and the outside public was fin the market to greater extent than for many months past. The result of the buying was to drive prices up for an. advance of Is to 20 points. The closing was steady at very nearly the highest of the day. the active lambs showing advances of 15 to IS points.
