Appearing very modest and religious,
the two young women had no difficulty
in obtaining two $50 checks from Mrs

Assistant Cashier J. Few Brown, OF the
Shenandoah Valley National Bank,
vouching for the lace girls. Upon hav-

met by Mrs. Lacy. AS soon as the
word lace was mentioned by the young

FIND WARRANT FOR
EVEN TRIVIAL RISE
Strong Undercurrent in Domestic Wheat, Which
Causes Disappointment and Perpexity Among
Speculators-Corn Is Stronger.

New York, April 1S.-There was n
strong undercurrent In domestic wheat
markets early in the week which
caused disappointment and perpleXity
among spectators. especially small
scalpers, who could not discover war
rant for even a trivial case. At least
they gave little attention to the en-
couraginE tenor of cable advices, near
ly all European markets being some-
what higher. which was unexpected, in
view of tho large worlds shipm ents
and the resultant increase in the guam
tity on passage. 1t was the consensus
of opinion that the strength in Europe
was largely caused by further unfavor-
able reports from Russia. and also from
France. where the rainrap has been ex-
cessive. while damage BY insect life
was apprehended.
Other Countries.
AS result, 1T was stated that French
importers had been buying Australian
wheat freely. to arrive ut advancing
figures. Advices were strong from Ar
gentina- where there was good OK
port demand AT higher values In view
OF these facts, it was little wonder that
exporters were in receipt of good or
ders for our hard wheat and -four at
far more satisfactory limits. They
bought moderate quantities to arrive
from Chicago, and took No. spring

This was not surprising. as II was
agreed that prices were lower there
than practically anywhere else in the

in Europe. for, despite the heavy
worlds shipments, tho visible supply

only 100000 bushels. against 100000

cultural Bureau. against nearly 37.O0O,-

The Flood situation.
The threatening overflow of the Mis-
sissippi River will continue to at
tract close attention throughout the
cotton trade during the next fortnight
as the crest OF the flood wave will not
reach Ficksburg until near the end
of next week. and pass beyond Shrcve-
port until near the end of the month
In the meantime. the question of floods
VIII depend largely on whether the
levees on both sides of the river will
hold or not. This weeks heavy rains
have increased the flood pressure. but

According to the reports Of tho Wealth
CT Bureaus officials along the river,

the river at Natchez is expected TO go
to 90 feet within the next week or ten
days, against the high flood mark there
last year of under 81 1-2 feet and SIS
feet at Vicksburg, against the pres
cnt stage there of 46 "a, and the high
record of So feet in last years food
In the counties Immediately adjoin-
ing both sides of the river. from Mem
phis down to near New Orleans the
production of cotton in a normal sea-
son figures out between 500, 900 and
100000 bales. The floods of last year
occurred at this time. but the waters
receded so rapidly. and the weather
conditions were so favorable, that
planting throughout the flooded area
was finished by early in June. After
the crop was all in the ground, the
weather was SO uniformly favorable
throughout the whole of June and
July and early in August that fair
crops were eventually secured. Whether
such conditions would occur again this
year. if the threatening floods now
menacinG that section should prove
as severe AS was the cast last year, is
the big speculative problem Of the flu
ture.
