What The New
Song Writer'S
Are Doing!

Snce the poet, who raved about
"Sprin., Gentle Spring" started
the ball rolling and created sea-
son songs, we have had quite q !
few. Summertime came in for q |
lot of popularity, but AL Gumble
and AL Bryan have had it out with |
Jack Frost and :" Winter" the
brief title of new song that has
been launched upon The sea of
popularity by no less a star than
the brautiful Adele Richie, who
in conjunction with James A.
Byrnes the ideal pianist and Rc-
companist. is touring the country.
1t was what is called in music
publishers parlance, an over
night hit +" which means that
the morninr after the nirht it was
first sung, there was 4 biz demand
at all the music stores for copies
of the SOM. In spite OF its name
it is warm number, warm in its
melody and poctical praise of
Winter. 1t will live and be the
Winter song for many years to
come, and we doubt whether a
hot summer will prevent he sing
ing Of
: Winter, winter, when the snow is soft
ly falling,
That the time to queeze, when it starts
to freeze,
J In October, and November and Decem-
her just remember
Winter, winter, when your sweetheart

BY the fireside so bright, you'll sit and
tease her,
That's the time to squeese her, when

NO GAINS MADE IN
COTTON MARKET
Early Trading Favors Bull
Side of Prices
LATE SELLING Is HEAVY
Reports on Weather Conditions In the
Cotton Region Have Most Effect
the Indications Point to
Better Crops
LATE SELLING Is HEAVY

New York, May 5.--Cotton was gener-
ally quiet today and fluctuations were
within very narrow limits, the near
months being slightly lower at the be-
ginning on a renewal of yesterdays liqul-
da ton, while distant positions showed
the influence of unfavorable crop reports
Leading bulls came to the support of near
months at the initial figures bidding for
large blocks; ables we're better than due
May and July soon firned up with the
rest of the list and, during the middle of
the morning the active months generally
showed net gain of about s 10 points
AS recently, however the bull leaders
withdrew their support on the bulge to
above 14.9oc for May, and as weather
conditions over the belt were considered
fairly good. there was no great support
from outside influences. Prices conse-
quently sagged off under renewal of
scattering liquidation with the old crop
selling down to last nights finals, while
later positions lost all but two or three
points of the early gain. But offerings
were not aggressive, and In the late
trading the market steadied on covering,
with May closing at 1850 and October
at 12.73c.
Southern spot markets officially report
ed early were generally quiet and un-
changed. 1t is stated .hat arrangements
have been made to ship fully 10000 bales
out Of the local stocks and arrivals here
are running smaller than they were before
the first May notice day. The weather in
the south Is considered more favorable.
but rain Is said to be needed in some sec
tons and private advices as to the early
promise continue discouraging. causing
an uneasiness over the outlook. which was
probably reflected In the relatively steady
tone of the new crops during todays
trading.
Receipts at the ports today, S449 bales,
against S104 last week and 1859 last year.
For the week, 10000 bales. against IS, 1866
last week and 1906 last year. Todays
receipts at New Orleans, 1888 bales,
against 5611 last year.

SHARP ADVANCE

Crop Damage Reports Come IN

Make an Advance

Chicago. May 5.-vociferous crop DAM
age cries we're heard today along the line
from Manitoba to Texas. Freezing. dry
ness and insects were few OF the aiieseo
reasons In consequence prices for wheat
made a net advance here Of ssc to s4gl%c.
corn finished 1s0Ac to- 1sQ9sc up, and
oats A9ssc to ss@1sc. Provisions closed
unchanged to 221zc higher.
Official denial from the Burlington rail-
way that the company had reported the
wheat prospect in Nebraska at 81 per cent
and that farmers were blowing up nun
dreds of fields spoiled the unanimlty OF
the damage chorus. So did the Ohio stale
report showing condition of 2 points
better than month ago and IL points
better than year ago. AS result July
was nc under the top prices OF the day.
The northwest was particularly bullish
much of the time and reports of injury
to the sprouting wheat during the recent
freeze had its effect. Many spectators
were disposed to fight the advance assert
ing thot the leading longs were trying
to make a market on which to unload. On
cable news fine rains west,
southwest and in part of the northwest
prices dipped at the outset, but offerings
were speedily absorbed and thereafter the
tendency inost of the time was upward.
May advanced twice as much as new crop
futures, scattered buying of that option

OF May we're very light. September start
ed 14Q9sc down, hao a range of 1ssc and
closed %a0Ac up at 81 .02ss@1 021a.
Trade was of small volume in corn, but
prices advanced with wheat shipping de-
mand practically vanishing. Cash was
quoted laG1c up with No. yellow at
$40 G31kc. September sold between 63$4q
637sc and 631sc, closing steady at $3.50.
Timely purchases of May and July by
wheat bulls influenced sentiment in the
oats pit and helped values. Crop reports
were almost uniformly unfavorable, and
September closed SSasQ3S7sc, and was
steady at net advance of A4ssc. Fol-
lowing a 20Q25c advance in live hogs the
bullishness in grain and the big short
age III packing was felt and led to con-
siderable buying of provisions on the
part OF shorts, but a good deal of profit
taking on the advances also developed.
Pork closed 171s0221ac higher. Lard closed
unchanged 20 i6c higher, and ribs closed
714d1Cc to 1oG12i1c higher.

MORE CONFIDENCE
IN STOCK MARKET
Prices Show More Strength in
the Days Trading H
BONDS IN BIG DEMAND
Reports of the Heavy Sales of Ameri-
can Bonds in London Are Con-
hrmed and Market Gains
Strength Thereby

New York, May 6.-Today,s stock mar
ket showed the effect of the listing of
American securities abroad, which electri-
ned the market yesterday. Various
things worked to the moderating of this
influence but iessened appreciation, of the
practical Importance of the development
was not one of them
The market closed buoyant with re-
stored confidence. There was an appre-
hension at first that yesterdays reports
might have been exaggerated in several
particulars. First, as to the amount of
the sales, some of the estimates which
alleged an amount well over hundred
million strained credulity. 1t was sug-
gested that there had been included in
some of these estimates the total of pro-
posed issues, including both the portions
to be sold abroad and those offered In
the home markets. Official confirmation
of the reports withheld STILL and this in
Itself left an element of doubt in the
matter.
Late confirmation of the ST. Paul bond
sale animated the whole market. One
reason for Withholding confirmation was
that announcements had been premature,
leaving the closing up of negotiations in
complete
Another feature was the absence OF
confirmation of the terms on which the
sales were being made. Broad inthua-
tions that very attractive prices were
made necessary in order to enlist the
buying of the foreigners left open the
ultimate effect on local prices An i'm
preston got around also that loans, with
the new securities as collateral rather
than outright sales. would be found to
be involved in some of the reported sales.
One still more potent modifying factor
was the extent to which the rapid rise
of prices yesterday and at the opening
was discounting the favorable effect of
the bond sales to foreigners. The action
of the market sufficiently showed, how
ever. that great significance was at
tached to the matter after all due con.
sjderation of the doubtful factors The
need of additional capital for CARRYING
forward of enterprises is too real and
obvious not to promise great relief
through an opening of fresh sources of
supply by subscription to new securities
abroad.

BANKRUPTCY LAW
BEING VIOLATED

Washington, April 5-Alleged frauds IN
Ala bama, coming it is believed. within
the scope of the bankruptcy law, have
been receiving attention at the hands Of
Attorney General Wickersham. Infor-
nation from reliable sources indicated
violations of the law somewhat similar
in practice to the jewelry cases for which
a number of persons in Alabama and
Texas were recently arrested, but differ
ing In the classes of merchandise traded
in. An investigation will be made with
a. view to the prosecution Of the guilty
parties.
The Attorney General has given United
States Attorney William H. Ambrecht
full authority to proceed in the matter,
promising him all the necessary assist
snce. Some years ago 1t was said at the
department of justice today there existed
a situation in Alabama regarding furni-
ture shipments similar in many respects
to that unearthed by the government In
the jewelry bankruptcy frauds. The de-
partment is trying to secure legislation
giving its agents the right of free access
to the books of trustees and referees In
bankruptcy proceedings, thus materially
strengthening the hands of the legal offi-
GERS of the administration In discovering
violations of law.

sive dullness, SO far as general business
goes, with some spectacular activity by
the bull leaders, marks the day. With
May and July holdings firmly held
and any slight recession brings large bid
ding, which naturally finds no sellers.
One considerable purchase of May, how
ever, was made at the highest figures
followed by heavy sales of July. The
battle is local, with a hull at the moment
and very little of general interest. Trade
abroad is reported good especially in
China and India. Here there Is only mod
crate activity. The crop is doing fairly
well. but Texas needs good rains and
there is q disposition to give. more atten-
ton to food crops Spot cotton is well
held and strong in the south.
