Sacred Concert

The sacred concert given in the Pres
byterian church Wednesday evening
was fairly well attended, and if it had
been advertised more largely the house
would have been crowded.
The program was planned and exc
cuted by the choir of twelve voices
and the anthems, solos and choruses
were most excellent. The service had
been carefully prepared and its rendi'
tion was a delight to all. Mrs. Louis
EtcheIls is the leader of the choir and
Elizabeth McColl pianist. A volun.
tary silver collection was received
which will be used for the purchase OF

stuff they get and their friends who
give them an order just to be obliging
are helping to pay for their premium
to their own loss. Study the Larkin
catalog and price list and compare
same with local retail prices and you
will find they ask little bit more for
almost everything. Fer instance:
the Larkin company sells 800 yards
spool cotton for csc; the local stores
sell 200 yards for sc so ro- Csc we
get 1000 yards. Tapioca is sold for
12c per lb., by the Larkin company.
The local stores ask 10c or three
pounds for Csc On extracts, cocoa,
chocolate, etc, the Larkin company
asks about sc more per ounce and
pound than the retail stores.
1t is every housewives privilege to
purchase goods where she can do the
best in quality and price, so we would
certainly be working for our own in
terests il we cut out the Larkin clubs
and trade where we get a fair deal
and with the money we save purchase

the Larkin premiums as house furnish

FIRST CAR OF NEW
WHEAT IN CHICAGO
Closing Prices Vary From
3-8c Decline to 1-Sc
Gain

Chicago, June 20-Belief that rains had
fallen at the right time for the greater
part of the spring crop brought about an
easy feeling today in the wheat pit,
Closing prices varied from ssc decline
to 1sc gain Corn showed fall of ss95sQ
1c and oats a setback of ssd1aa7sc.
There was an irregular finish in pro-
Visions ranging from 7lac off to an ad-
vance of shade. Wheat traders with
few exceptions inclined to the view thai
barring some portions of South Dakota
the spring sown fields are in good shape.
Timely moisture for a final handling of
winter wheat in Nebraska also rendered
to favor the bears. The fact that the
first car of new wheat arrived here al
ready had some sentimental effect but
good support at moderate decline pre-
vented any break.
Purchasing by seaboard export con-
Germs amounted to $4,000 bushels here
and to a generous total at Duluth. These
transactions afforded in rally for prices
and made operations steady. Primary
arrivals of wheat today were again heavy
600 bushels against $4,000 bushels a
year ago.
Export clearances of wheat and flour
equaled 900 bushels.
Prospects of general rains made corn
weak. Some of the recent large longs
went over to the short side.
Oats succumbed to heavy selling due to
an expected drenching east of the Mis-
sissippi.
In provisions the main feature was the
course Of leading western packer chang
ing over considerable holdings of July
lard to September. Carriers took the
nearby deliveries.

BRISK BUSINESS
EXPECTED TODAY
Despite Dullness This Week
Merchants Are Very
-.
Optimistic

Although the past week has been one
of comparative dullness, merchants are
optimistic and it is predicted that today's S
business will be unusually brisk. 1t Is
believed that there will be a cleanup of
vegetables, poultry and possibly eggs.
The poultry market has experienced
quite a drop in quotations and the mar
ket is fairly we'll supplied at the present
time. The demand, however, is brisk and
is well abreast Of the supply.
The fish market is beginning to harden
a little after nearly a months dulness.
The demand is much better than two
weeks ago and the supply is hardly so
far in advance of the market.
Hay is the only item in the feedstuffs
list that is quoted at anything like a
low price. Farmers are now cutting their
second crop of hay and are Kidding the
barns of the first crop in order to make
room for the new. 1t is said that the
grain market is unusually strong and a
rise may be expected almost any day.

VARIOUS CAUSES \
SEND COTTON Up
Among Them Determined
Bull Support, Boil Weevil
Talk, Etc.

New Orleans. June e0,-The price of cot
ton went higher today on determined bull
support following much boil weevil talk
and gossip concerning the July position.
One story was that interior cotton mer-
chants were in the local markets for the
purpose of taking up cotton on July and
shipping IL out. This made shorts nerv-
Gus as the local stock, less the amount
on shipboard. is under 5000 bales. Both
Louisiana and Mississippi sent in reports
that farmers were finding boil weevils
numerous. Bears pointed out that it was
altogether too early In the season for
much damage to be done by this insect.
The opening was steady with prices un-
changed compared with yesterdays close.
Cables were not up TO expectations and
they. together with a favorable weather
map and forecasts, caused little selling
which put the trailing months 1 to points
down soon after the first call. Rather
large buying started and the market
worked higher quickly. Toward noon.
prices were 10 to 10 points over yester-
days final figures and In the afternoon
the advance was widened to 1s to ~
points.
The close was steady at a net gain of
8 to Il points. Profit taking by longs
late in the session caused partial re-
action.
