WHEAT GOES HIGHER ON PLAGUE REPORT Quarantine May Stop Rus
 sian Shipments PLAGUE IS SPREADING Corn Rules rrifls Higyt on Account of Wet Weather and Wheat Ad-
 yance-PrOvisiOn Trade
 Undisturbed
IS SPREADING

Chicago, February 1S.-Confronted by assertions that the quarantine against bubonic plague might put a stop to shipments from Russia, the wheat market today took on an up- ward turn. Closing prices were shade to half cent higher than 24 hours previous. The outcome in corn was a net advance of quarter cent and for oats 1s @ Ao either way from last nights figures.
 Rumors that the bubonic plague was spreading in Russia seacoast cities proved more than sufficient to offset, so far as the wheat market was con cerned, the effect of further rain and snowfall in the American southwest. Comparatively few traders. however, were disposed to be seriously worried about the plague hampering European business to any alarming extent. The bulls were excited by predictions of lighter world shipments and by belief that decrease would appear in the total stock at Liverpool. A decided drag of prices notwithstanding resulted from the balance of any improvement In the call for cash wheat. Under such circumstances the market closed un- der the top prices of the session and with the tone trifle easy. May ranged from 90ss Q90%c to Il 1ac with last sales half cent up at 91A @91ssc.
 Corn ruled little higher on account of the wet weather and the wheat ad- vance. May f1uctuated from 4S&c c to 49%c and in the end was steady with May quarter cent up at 49c. Cash corn was firm. No. yellow closed at 47n @48c.
 Covering by some of the larger shorts helped up the price of oats. May varied from 311sc to 32c and finished 1sc net higher at 31%c.
 Trade in provisions consisted in the main of selling by packers and of pur- chases by stock yards men who were counting that the wet weather would delay marketings next week. Through out the day the poise resulting was practically undisturbed.

Raising Early Broilers

"The up-to date broiler plant consists of an incubator cellar, a nursery, or
 brooder house. as 1t Is usually called.
 and & broiler house." says Kate V. Saint Maur in Woman's Home Compan- ion for February. Both the latter are
 divided into small pens, about two feet wide and five feet long. In the nur- sery house, the top ends of the pens are inclosed like boxes to the depth of about foot and a half. and have hot water pipes running through them to furnish heat for the chicks to brood under. A flannel curtain cut into strips falls from the top of the inclosed part to divide it from the rest of the pen. which runs down to the outer wall of the house, where large window lets
 in light and sun. The pens should have
 board floors slightly elevated above the main floor to avoid dampness, and the divisions are made with a footboard
 about nine inches high, and one-inch netting two feet high above that. The
 brooder house Is divided in the same
 way. but the hot water pipes only run around the walls of the house, as the
 birds don't need the immediate heat
 to brood under. after they leave the
 nursery. when they are five or six weeks old.
 But. until you can afford the prop- CT equipment, one or two incubators
 can be run in the cellar of the house or
 an unused room where there is no oth- CT heat. Individual breeders can be use6 in place of the nursery or brood
 CT house. if you have any light out
 building to stand them in. Tn fact I like the individual breeders better for
 the nursery period than the pipe house
 system because 1t is only necessary to
 heat as many as are needed and with
 the pipe system the entire house has
 to be heated. even If you are only Ro- ing to use one section"

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter

New York, February 1S-(Special)- and our market responding. showed good and, our market responding, showed good buying at the opening. Condition are not normal at the moment and the leg islation possible If improbable because all most incredible at Washington keeps prices fuctuating beyond any provision. On advances the tendency Is to sell, as on declines the shorts cover promptly. The market may be expected to be un- reasonable till after the uncertainty is removed, which all conservative business men hope will be soon.
 Heavy rains are reported in. Texas. Bradstreet reports good crop preparations and the Chronicle an oversupply of yarns in Manchester. Spots in the south hold steady, and foreign houses appear sat isfied with present prices. The market Is unsettled and must be necessarily till the disturbing element is removed.

COTTON IS FIRM AT ASMALL ADVANCE The Scott Bill Still Causes
 Nervousness OFFERING IS HEAVY And Prices Based Off Slightly, But Small Estimates for Mondays
 Receipts Cause a Con-
 plete Recovery
OFFERING IS HEAVY

New York, February S-Realizing caused a reaction following the initial advance In the cotton market today, but the loss was more than recovered and the market closed firm at net ad- vance of to 1T points. The old crop was relatively firm on rumors that leading interests were preparing to de- mand delivery on March contracts and predictions of smaller receipts next week.
 The market opened steady at an ad- vance of 10 to 14 points on the old cror and of on new crop positions, the for mer being influenced by better cables than expected, bulllsh construction oi the weekend figures and covering. while the new crop was relatively easy owing to reports of good rains in the south west. Sentiment was still very nervous and unsettled over the possibility that the Scott bill might be passed by tho Senate, although private reports claimed such an outcome unlikely and this prob ably increased the disposition to take profits at the initial advance or above IA cents for May. At any. rate, offerings became quite heavy shortly after, the call and prices eased off in consequence with the old crop selling down to with in or 8 points of last nights finals while the new crop broke to loss oi 8 to points. Small estimates for Mon- days receipts at leading points. reports that southern spot buyers were In New York looking over the local stock, sru- mors that at least 50,000 bales were tc be shipped out of here to various conti- mental points within the next 30 days and reports that leading interests were prepared to take up cotton on Marcl contracts, imparted a firmer tone to the later trading, however, and near posi- tions made new high ground for the rally in the late trading, with the close only point or two off from the best Business was only moderately active-.
 Receipts of cotton at the ports today 29,944 bales, against 29. 4o2 last week and 11,273 last year. Receipts at New Or leans 407s, against 1946 last year, and at Houston 179S bales. against 2195 last year.

Buying a Pair of Shoes

From the Lowell Sun.
 She walked Into a shoe store and said to the polite clerk:
 You may show mo pair of walking boots. No. 4. I used to wear 3's, but go in for solid comfort now"
 Strange" she murmured 1t must be rheumatism. Try 4s, B width. know l can swim in them. but my feet are so tender
 q While the clerk was getting them on she said:
 T used to have such beautiful foot not small but such a good shape, never had a small foot, but wore 2H size for years, until I walked so much and grew heavier
 Your foot is a peculiar shape; the in- step Is so high-that is why you require a large size." said the clerk who had no fear of AnanIas before his eyes. "I've heard" she said that the Venus dee Medeechy wears No. 5. and she is a mod ell of true proportion"
 Exactly" said the clerk, growing red in the face as he pulled and tugged to get them on. He had never heard of "dee Meechey,' but he was up to trick or two himself. After ali," he said, these are too large. You'll find the As just right"
 He was only gone moment. but in that time he had erased E from the in- side of pair of shoes and substituted 4B. I
 There, thought 1t was strange" she said, when they were on and paid for, why, those are just as easy as my old shoes. believe could just as we'll have 3's after all" 1T
 And the young man without a conscience went back to, his duties with the air of one we'll satisfied with himself.

New Orleans Cotton Market

New Orleans, February 1s.-Cotton fu- lures opened steady at an advance or 8 to 5 points on the old crop months and an advance of point on the new. Liv- erpool was much higher than due and put prices up sympathetically on this side in the face of good rains in Texas and Oklahoma over night These rains caused the new crops to hold back from making the full advance that was seen in the old crop months. After the call many tele- grams were received from Texas report ing better rains than have been experi- enced snco the long drouth was broken, and they stimulated selling. May and July both sold at an advance of 6 points immediately after the call, but fell 5 points from this level under the selling. At the end of the first half hour of trading compared with yesterdays close. Less dispatches from Washington were taken longer be as disturbing a market influence as 1t has been. hs
 Toward the middle of the morning ru- mors Qf better spot demand, and that a list of nearly 4000 bales of hedged cotton had been traded in after hours yester- day strengthened the market and caused an advance from level to points under yesterdays close to the highest level of the week. The market acted oversold and sold out, and a rather urgent demand from shorts, who wanted to cover over the week end, supported the market In the entire absence of any bullish aggres- siveness.

UNUSUAL TRADE
 AT THE WEEK END Steady Buying Results in
 Improvement ACTIVITY IN STEEL
The Reduction of the German Bank Rate Shows Ease of Money Conditions at German
 Capital

New York, February 1S.-Steady buying during today's brief session of the stock market resulted in marked improvement throughout the list and recovery of the greater part of the losses sustained dur ing the middle west recession. Trading was unusual for the week end, and the upward movement embraced not only the active issues, but most of the less impor- tAnt ons as well. The greatest activity was in Reading, the Harrimans and United States Steel.
 News of the day was of a character calculated to make for improvement in the market. Reduction of the German bank rate was accepted as a natural re- cult of the similar action taken early in the week by the Bank fIEngland and served to call renewed attention to the eass of money conditions at the German carital
 A more important factor, however, in making for greater confidence here, was the resumption of dividend on Southern railway preferred. This was accepted as inherent proof that the most powerful American banking interests felt reasonaA bly, assured of future conditions Inter- rational banking houses received intima- tons Of the practical completion or the Southern Pacific financing In Paris and announcement to that effect Is probable in the coming early week.
 The usual contradiction of conditions was shown in the weekly bank statement. wherein leverage" loans increased H,6o5,- Ooo, with Ian actuar' decrease of $500, o51. The "actual' cash gain of SS. GOO was below the most conservative estl- mates, but the statement as whole was of negative character. The trust com panies and state banks indirectly affiliated with the clearing house reported an in- crease of si2,23s,00o in loans with nornl- nal cash gain.
