a too-rapid growth of un-dynamiteo
cotton, with a consequent falling off
of much fruit; while this was not ex-
perienced in the dynamited field. Also
il was observed that the dynamited
cotton continued to grow and make
fruit after other crops had ceased.
The experimental crop grew to an av-
erage height of five feet all over the
field, with heavy fruiting sometimes
counting up to 100 bolls to the stalk
when two were in one hill to 255 when
only one stalk was allowed to stand in
a hill.

NEW YORK. June 2.--The recen; advance in stock was extended today and the market was one Of the broad est and most active of the year.
 Trading was conducted in a way that seemed to indicate that senti- ment had become decidedly more cheerful and confident. Substantial advances in virtually every depart ment brought out large amount or stock. Realizing sales caused reces- sions late in tie day. but the deman I close al~-ost complete recover.es were effected.
 The confident tone of the market could not be attributed to any news of the day. but appeared to be based on the combined effects of recent de- velopments. The governments first report on the cotton crop for the sea- sen, which was issued today, gave further basis for expectation of good crops.
 The Hill stocks were again str0uS and active. Profit taking weakened the Chicago Burlington and Quincy joint i percent bonds which have been associated with Great Northern and Northern Pacific in the advance winch followed the announcement of the Hill financing project American Tobacco securities continued the,T decline.

]. <. THEATER HAS
 EXCELLENT FILMS

The popular o k theater is de- servedly drawing record breaking crowds oD account of the excellent pictures being shown at this the ater. Manager Schmid makes the announcement that he has made ar rangssnents with the Los Angeles Film company by which the O K the ater will receive its dlms direct from the home office, thus getting the films first and getting better films. This change will mean much addi. tional expense, but Manager Schmid is determined to give the people of Bisbee the best in the picture line, barring no expense.
 Among the fine pictures being shown at present are ''Willie's Visit to the Picture Show" The Masque- raders," Saved by BOsco," 'Jeai- ousy of Randoult," My Wife's Hat" and -Tbe GI)ved Hand"
 The first shows Willie getting mixed up in a film picture on the street and going to the theater at night, where he sees himself on the screen. It is very laughable. The Nasqueraders' pertains to two low CTS who have met under the masquerade of maid and valet after sending their real maids and valets to personify themselves to look into a matrimonial proposition, the prin, cipaIs becoming in love. This is a pretty romance. Jealousy of Ran doult" is a rip-roaring comedy in which the Jealous lover gives poison to his rival and apparently kills a Liz bunch of people, who are wise to his game, however, and simply pose to mortify him. My Wife's Hat is another roar of fun, show Ing the trials of a husband in the hat-buying line, while "The Gloved Hand" is an intensely interesting drama of western life. showing tae trials of a redeemed woman who turns thief to hide her Tast from her husband, while the detective gets the proof on her from her in ger prints through a glove. The husband fJrgves his wife ard the ending is a happy one.
