When Boiling Water Freezes

From the Chicago Tribune.
Water may be boiled and frozen hot h
at the same time. The idea Is little
startling. but the explanation is sim MI a
enough. The temperature at which wa

is high the water must be made a rood

low pressure
On mountains where the air pressure
is lower than at sea level water botls
easily at low temperature. In COOKING
vegetables of all kinds a certain degree
of heat is required. and where water
boils before that vegetables won't cool.
Consequently. they have to be put in .
closed boiler so that the generated
steam will create pressure for the water
to boil beyond the required Temperature
For an experimental proof OF this fa ~
the water Is placed in a vessel ana tbo
air exhausted above the surface OF tho
water As the process of pumping roes
on the water will boil violentiv tha
steam congealing on the sides OF the ex-
haust vessel. If the pumping "A con

This principle does not apply to wata,

High Wages on the Farm

from Inc hampshire Gazette.
We went out to visit farmer on Sun
day. A fine. big pile of nicely split wood
curled around the wood-shed door, and
we complimented the owner on having

nothing to do but go and get 1t when you
want 1t. and no fear Of coal strikes. Yes

wood cost me. paid IS for chopping 1t,
So for saving and IS for splitting it, s21, or

sl.75 per cord standing, and II cost me
at least 80 cents a cord to haul 1t from

to hire 1t piled In the shed. That makes

WEATHER AFFECTS
MARKET BUT LITTLE
Morris Avenue Merchants
Report Good Business.
Produce Brisk

The threatening weather Of yesterday
morning seemingly had little effect on
business generally on Morris avenue. the
merchants reporting good business.
There was slowing up in the after
- business for the day was
very brisk Hens are very scarce and
few, If any shipments are being re-
ceived The price is stin firm at 16c

Business in the produce line yesterday
was unusually brisk for Monday. Black
berries are being received daily and this
fruit is selling at 50 a crate. Irish po-
tatoes were reduced from s.10 to 81 yes
terday and lemons advanced to - box.
Lemons have been on the rise for two
weeks past, and there is an active de-
mand for them.
There is no change In the fish market
and the demand is not brisk The mar
ket is oversupplied and prices are very
low
There has been no change In the price
of meats for nearly week, although
the demand is quite brisk.
Business in the grain market was re-
ported only fair yesterday. Mixed feed
advanced to sS2 and all other prices are
firm. The threatening aspect of the
weather did have bad effect on the
grain market but this was apparently
the only line affected.

ADVANCE SHOWN IN
PRICE OF COTTON
Old Crop Months Lead.
Favorable Weather and
Crop Accounts

New Orleans, June 9.-The price of
cotton was advanced today in the fac
of extremely favorable weather and Gro
accounts. Determined buying met a sae
ging tendency around the opening, ant
enough buying orders were poured into
the market to discourage fresh short
selling. The old crop months led in the
advance.
On the opening the tone was steady
and prices were 3 to points down on
poor cables and the good weather map
First prices were the lowest of the day
Offerings were slender in the early
trading and buying was sufficiently
strong to advance prices sharply, At the
middle OF the morning the market stood
to 10 points over Saturdays close. This
was the high of the day. Scalping longs
took their profits and checked the up
ward tendency. In the afternoon this
selling continued together with very
moderate selling for short account. The
close was steady, at net rise of to Z
points.
The weather map was cloudy and wet
and the forecast promised more showery
weather over the larger part of the belt
Bears claimed that the rains were very
beneficial, but bulls pointed out that If
they continued much longer they would
stop work in the fields and result in
foul crops.

Jackson, Miss, June 9.-(Special. y
The business men of Canton are deter

mer friends goodly portion of their
cotton crop A week ago mention was
made of the fact that the banks of Can
ton had put up 500 in prizes for the per-

number of weevils, dead or alive. The
sum total of the prizes has now been
increased to s225. with $50 to the person

Joined forces with the bankers and oil

and it is believed that millions of the
adult weevils will be bottled during the
next few days and that the crop of the
pests will be reduced to a minimum, so
that some cotton will be raised. in spite

WHEAT CLOSES FIRM
At A NET ADVANCE
Figures Regarding Crop Re-
port Prove Almost Ex-
actly as Figured

Chicago, June 9,-Government estimates
this afternoon regarding the 1913 crop of
wheat proved to be almost exactly as fig
ured out here in advance by experts More
interest was taken in a. big decrease of the
visible supply total. The result was firm
close at net advance of isc to Ss41Rc.
Corn finished 1-16c to 14c up, oats with a
gain of 1sqAc to 14@ssc. and provisions
varying from shade decline to 15c in
crease.
Although wheat at the outset was un-
der some selling pressure due to rains in
Kansas and suffered a temporary dip at
midday ON heavy primary receipts. the
course of the market on the whole was
upward. Developments concerning the
visible supply tended to keep bullsh sem
and in the end exceeded
the hopes of even the most sanguine
friends of higher quotations. Stocks here
were cut down to less than third of the
amount on hand a year ago.
Spectators evlnced a noticeable dispo-
sition to get away from the short side of
July wheat. In consequence, the spread
between that future and September wild
ened out to 1c against NC at the close

pications caused some buying. and so,

Corn rallied with wheat after an inter-
val of weakness, the result of large re-
ceipts and favorable weather. The volume
OF pit trading was small. Despite hedging
sales by cash houses, oats climbed on ac-
count of well grounded fears that the gov

Prices Yesterday Make New
High Ground for Move
ment-ClOse Steady

New York, June 9.-The cotton mar

with prices making new high ground
for the movement and closing steady
at a net advance of 5 to IS points.
The opening was steady at a decline
of to points In sympathy with low
er cables than due. the market almost
Immediately firmed up on covering,
which seemed to be chiefly inspired
by increasing uneasiness as to the sit
uation in the near months owing to
further shipments from the local stock.
The relative frmness here led to a
further narrowing of the differences
between New York and Liverpool and
straddling long interests seemed to be
selling considerable July. In some in
stances, however, these sales were re-
placed by purchases of August, while
there was active covering of July by
Wall street shorts, and some scattered
buying of old crop positions against
sales of new crop deliveries Houses
with Liverpool connections bought new
crops as well as August and the active
old crop months sold IS to 20 points
higher during the early afternoon
while early new crop deliveries sold
s to 10 points above the closing figures
of last week There were scattering
complaints of excessive rainfall from
some sections of the eastern belt, but
generally speaking the rains reported
over Sunday were characterized as BEN
eficial and private crop accounts were
favorable enough to suggest that there
had been no change In the crop situa-
tion to help the advance. TIE foreign
buying of new crop months, however,
was said by some to be for spinning
interests and local bulls attributed the
steady ruling of the late deliveries to
speculative short interest whose con-
tracts for delivery We're being held
against trade requireemnts

STOCK MOVEMENT
IS DOWNWARD
Principal Securities Markets
of World Again Under
Pressure

New York, June a.-The principal secuii-
ties markets of the world were again un-
der pressure today. and the movement of
stocks here was sharply downward.
Union Pacific. steel. st. Paul and nearly
20 other stocks of all descriptions reached
new low levels for the decline, and while
some of the important shares remained
above their previous bottor1 figures, there
We're substantial losses In all quarters.
Foreign markets were disturbed by the
prospect of renewed hostiities in the
Balkans, and some uneasness was felt in
London regarding the approaching fort
night settlement. Under these circum-
stances, further European selling here
was regarded as natural. London disuosed
of perhaps 10000 shares here, on balance,
and there was some selling here on direct
orders from the continent.
Pressure from abroad was an important
factor in the markets movement. Traders
showed no desire 10 attempt to mark mp
pricese here in the face of heaviness
abroad, especially in view of the fact that
should they succeed, they would merely
be holding out added Inducements for
fun ther liquidation of European holdings
of American stocks. Professional opera
tors took advantage of the situation to
sell stocks. They were helped by further
liquidation of both the standard invest
ment issues and low priced shares. All
though the list was depgessed throughout
the day, pressure was not as severe as on
some recent days of heavy liquidation,
and the market showed less evidence of
nervousness.
Although the decrease of more than
S,000,0000 pounds in surplus copper stocks
shown in the May statement was regarded
as favorable. it failed to come up to eN
peetations of the trade, which had looked
for somewhat larger contraction. EX-
ports were lighter than had been fore
cast, and production was unexpectedly
large. This was offset to some degree,
however. by heavy deliveries to domestic
consumers. The metals stocks were espe-
cially weak today, the copper shares de-
clining with the steel group, but the
monthly statement had little effect on
quotations.
Bonds were weak. Total sales, rar
value, $2,04o,00O. United States bonds were
unchanged on call.
