MARKET CONFIDENT
AFTER LATE CRISIS

New York, May 15.-All f%inancia,
markets accorded close attention &c
tho London market last week for a
clue to the consequences to be eX-
pectcd from the sudden death of the
King of England. The calmness of
that market Inspired a feeling of salts
faction and confidence. and this lay
at the foundation of the weeks i'm
provement. The assumption that poll
teal differences in England would be
adjourned to a future settlement was
a material factor In a~lleviating the
shock of the passing of the sover-
eighty. The recovery in stock markets
was seen in the close attention with
tionary measures of support by pow
erful financial interests and the per-
ception of this fact and the with
drawal of this support with the pass
ing of the crisis was responsible for
some later hesitation.
The publication of the government
crop directed more attention even
than usual to the agricultural out
look. The Improvement reported in
condition of the winter wheat crop
during April relieved much apprehen-
sion on the score of damage during
the month, although the acreage Of
winter-killed wheat proved unusually
large.
The net effect was growth in conf
dcnce over the crop prospects, but
with great Importance attached to the
future course of events in that field
for it's vital bearing or the problem
of the financial markets. This fact
but served to confirm the main out
which weather reports were followed
from day to day and the sensitiveness

OF the stock market TO news OF thu
| commodities markets.
Details of the sales of American bond
issues TO foreign buyers were mcagre,
but servidc to confirm the main out
lines of the previous weeks reports OF
the important dimensions of the move
ment. Its bearing on the difficulties
duo to the large domestic require
monts for new capital and on the I'M
favorable trade balance caused by the
abnormal merchandise movements was
appreciated. and was a help IN sus-
tanning the undcrtone OF strength for
securities.
The mental markets received most
consideration IN the effort to discern
the trend of business. The April cop
per industrials were more responsive
to reports OF some large sales OF the
metal affected during the week, ana
to the advance in the price. Iron fur
naccs in production continued to de-
crease. and the price of Iron reccded
further. but trade sentiment was af-
fected by the suppositlon that the rate
Of production and Of dcmand were ap-
preaching a balance.
The placing of security loans abroad
was followed by a decline in foreign
exchange rates to the lowest Level OF
the year. The money prospect is af-
fected by the fact that the Bank or
England RETAINED from reducing its
official rate of discount. in spite of
the extraordinary strength of its posi-
ton. a strong recovery in foreign
exchange was the result. Mony lend
ers in New York maintained an atti-
tude OF some reserve. owing to the
banking position in the Interior grow

New York, May 15.-l'rom the sbe-
ginning of the week the market was
q steadily advancing one, scoring the
sensational rise of 50 TO 10S points
for the old crop options. The rise in
those months, although due chiefly to
the heavy short interest covering and
simultaneously large buying of July
and August by the bull clique. forced
the new crop options UP 10 points on
September, - points on October, and
about 40 points on December. The
trading on Wednesday and Thursday
developed extreme among
the shorts outstanding in July and
August options. This resulted in such
n rush TO cover during the forenoon
Friday that buying became general,
with the result May and July were
forced up to 1880, while August went
bow 1926 and September sold at II
cents, October 1916, and next Dccem-

much covering of shorts on this rise
most OF this interest now appears to
ave been bought in. In the last
hour Friday prices broke 90 to -
points from the top. with May and

EPIDEMIC OF ITCH IN WELSH
VILLAGE

I'm Dowlais, South Wales, about fif-
teen years ago, families were strick-
en- wholesale by a disease known as
the itch. Believe me, it Is the most
terrible disease of its kind that I
know of, as it itches all through your
body and makes your life an inferno.
Sleep is out of the question and you
feel as if a million mosquitoes were
attacking you at the same time. I
knew a dozen families that were SO
affected.
1.-THE doctors did their best, but
their remedies were of no avail what
ever. Then the families tried a drug
gist who was noted far and wide for
his remarkable cures. People came
to him from all parts of the country
for treatment, but his medicine made
matters still worse, as a last resort
they were advised by a friend to use
the Cuticura Remedies. / am glad to
tell you that after a few days treat
ment with Cuticura Soap, Ointment
and Resolvent, the effect was wonder
full and the result was a perfect cure
in all cases.
Il may add that my three brothers,
three sisters, myself and all our fam
lilies have been users Of the Cuticura
Remedies for fifteen years. Thomas

Korean Mininu Industry

The mining industry In Korea gives.
employment, directly and indirectly,
to some 5000 Koreans. AS regards
copper deposits the Kapsan mine, inl
the northeast Of Korea, which is now
held by an American company, has
for centuries been worked by Koreans,
and preliminary surveys Of the prop
erty revealed the possibilities of rich
deposits of the metal. Coal and iron
are widely diffused, but difficulties Of
transport render the working Of these
deposits, even where rich, impossible
at present except in the case Of the
anthracite coal mines near Pyeng

the Korean government.

Future Liyjno Conditions.

M. Jules Bots, the distinguished

much concerning ancient civilization,
predicts that in a hundred years time
the great cities Of Europe will be
practically uninhabited except for
business purposes during the daytime.
All classes will live in the country
or in garden cities, to which access
will be cheap and extremely rapid,
owing to the development Of pneu-
matte railways or flying cars. The
motor car will have gone completely
out Of fashion, but the bicycle will
come again in favor, for a sort of fly
ing bicycle will be invented, which
will enable the rider to soar in mid
