COTTON L POINTS
ABOVE SATURDAY
Steady Tone in the Market.
Very Good Inquiry for
Contracts Z

New Orleans, May ls-Cotton had a
very steady tone on the opening session
of the week. Bulls were not aggressive.
but moderately good inquiry for con-
tracts was In evidence all day long, which
the ring found difficult to supply. The
gossip of the marke. gave various rea-
sons for the rise that took place, some
people calling the buying mysterious and
puzzling. In some quarters 1t was claimed
that spinning interests were the largest
participators and the market was ia st
getting into a condition where the short
end of contracts would be held by speou-
lators and the long end by consumers.
This sort of talk. together with claims
that large part OF the crop was getting
a very late start because of replanting
and that the eastern belt still needed
moisture caused not little buying both
of covers by shorts and of contracts for
long account.
On the opening the tone was steady.
with prices showing a decline of to q
points. Cables were not high enough and
the weather news from the cotton belt
over Sunday was called favorable on the
whole. First prices were the lowest of
the day. The detailed weather reports
showed less rain than expected in the
eastern belt and the forecast promised
fair weather In the Carolinas. The n,ar-
ket very gradually worked higher, stand
ing late In the day at q net rise of 10 to
II points. The close was Arm, to II
points over Saturdays final figures.

DECIDED LIFT IN
! THE WHEAT MARKET
Close Firm 1-Sc to 1-4c Ad-
vance Due to Decrease in
Visible Supply

Chicago, May 19.-More of a decrease
than expected in the visible supply gave
the wheat market a decided lift The
close was firm at an advance of 1sd1.c
Corn finished 4e up. Oats with a gain
of 5saa4c. and provisions increased 10d25e
Tightness of the May option speedily
became pointed, and caused optimism to
lead the advance.
Belief prevailed that some hard winter
wheat had been sold here for export. For
this reason the ideal weather in the spring
crop belt did not make much impress
sion as might otherwise have been the
case. Seahoard clearanees of wheat and
flour today equalled $4,000 bushels. Pri-
mary receipts of wheat were $4,000 BUSH
els. against $4,000 a year ago.
Corn was strong from the start Iowa
points reported much corn land under
water and the weather too cold. Ne
braska, too, sent word of delayed plant
ing.
Oats shorts brought on. scantiness of
moisture In Illinois.
Demand for provisions exceeded offer
ings. Packers sold sparingly and closing
figures were at the top.
Future quotations were as follows:

New York. May 19.-Reports of good

The market opened steady at a de-

BRISK BUS|NESSAT
OPENING OF WEEK
Poultry Still Very Scarce,
But Price Is Normal.
Grain Advancing

Norris avenue merchants report very
good. business 10 start off the new
week. The supply of green stuff is
adequate and the demand Is good The
fish market remains unchanged as to
price and the demand Is quite brisk
with plentiful supply.
Poultry is still very scarce but the
price is normal. Eggs are in good de-
mand and the supply is barely keeping
abreast.
All grain Is reported to be adyanc-
ing. oats are up &c and there is a
strong likelihood of a further ADVANCE.
The rising market Is ascribed to the
fact that farmers are busy in the field
and, therefore, are not marketing.

How He Knew the Size

From the Philadelphia Public Ledger.
A man who had recently become en-
gagged to a charming young girl chanced
to be in a fashionable shop when his eye
caught a glimpse of bejeweled belt
that seemed to him an acceptable gift
for his fancee He asked a clerk to
place an assortment of the belts on the
counter.
Ladies belts?" querled the polite
salesman. Certainly, sir; what size?''
The young man blushed. Really" he
stammered, II don't know" And he
eazed about him helplessly for a moment
or so. Finally happy thought appeared
to strike him. Cant you let me have
a. yardstick for moment?' he asked.
The yardstick being forthcoming, lie
placed II along the inside of his arm
from shoulder to wrist. Then,s looking
up at the clerk. he exclaimed triumphait-
ly. ''Twenty inches,'

New York, May 19.-The particular point

out conspicuously with declines of 5
