Is there a mortgage on your sal
airy before you earnit? III so, there
is way out.
Maintaining bank account tends
to prevent your getting into debt.
There are several reasons for this.
In the first place, it provides You
with surplus cash TO use for emer-
gencies, unexpected necessities, or
even such Inquiries as you feel you
ought to have.
There is also the compound inter
est working for you all the time.
Moreover. such an account helps

OF course, the conclusion must not
be drawn that all kinds of debt are
to be avoided at all times. For e1-

If you have mortgage to pay,
adopt the plan of making regular
deposits in a savings account to take
care of the payments.
In this manner the interest on
your mortgage will be partially paid
for by the interest on your savings
and you will find 1T much easier to
meet your payments when due.

Export sales of 25,000 bushels OF hard

political situation in Europe and the far
east.
Early strength was shown by wheat on
the higher cables and the strong foreign
position of spot wheat and cargoes. A
decrease of 3,504,000 bushels in the amount
OF wheat on passage was noted and sta

HEAVY SELLING IN
! THE EARLY TRADING
More Than Score of New
Low Records Are
Established

New York, April 2s.-An outburst of
eelling in the early trading today once
more depressed the stock market sharp
". More than a score of new low rec
ords were established and the substan-
tial advantage gained ON the recent
upward swing was lost, the level of
prices falling under the low average
reached the middle of March. After an
hour of active trading the market grew
steadier, and gradually improved. Tho
amount of business fell of sharply on
the rally, the second hours total be-
ire less than one thdrd of that for the
first. Trading during the remainder Of
the session was SLOW with gradual
advance which lifted some stocks about
Saturdays close.
The marked weakness of the first
hour, which depressed prices of many
leading stocks l to 8 points was sig
nificant not only on account OF the
broad character of the selling, but be-
cause it was the most prominent is
sues which were noticeably heavy
rather than the specialties which were
SO prominent recently Considera bl g

cline, however, arbitrage brokers APP
peared as heavy buyers, and London

Short covering played an important
part In the upturn. Bear traders moved
cautiously after the first break in
prices and showed a disposition to buy
back stocks at the lower level. The
borrowing demand on the last two days
of trading has been unusually heavy
and some of the bears appeared to be

WHOLESALE TRADE
ONLY FAIRLY GOOD
The Produce Market Is Not
as Well Supplied as
Usual

The Morris avenue market opened yes
terday morning with fairly good trade.
Owing to the heavy clearance sales OF
Saturday the produce market was not sc
well supplied as usual. Snap beans are
rather scarce. This is a between season
for snap beans, as the Florida crop Is
exhausted and the south Alabama crop
will not be in for sohie days Yet.
Poultry had only fair business yester-
day and prices remained stationary.
The fish market is well supplied and
the demand quite brisk. Prices, however
are unchanged.
Creamery products enjoyed a very good
day yesterday. with no change in quo
tations. The market is we'll supplied and
new consignments are received daily.
Grain merchants report a fairly good
business, though the demand is not Sc
brisk as it was last week.

MODERATE RALLY IN
THE COTTON MARKET
Close Steady at Advance
of Z Points on
April

New York. April 2S.-Reports that May
notices were being shipped In the local
cotton market by foreign and local spot
interests caused only moderate rally
early today and prices later made new
low ground for the movement under e.
newed general selling. The close was
steady at an advance OF points on
A pril. but generally to 1S points under
closing figures of last week.
The market opened steady at a de-
cline Of points to an advance of 2
points and during the early trading sold
about to 70 points net higher on old
crop posh ans and four or five points
above Satui lays figures on the new crop
month. May notices were estimated at
$1,000 bales and at the start May con-
tracts sold about % points under July.
but the difference almost Immediately
began to narrow and there was good
demand for May across the ring This
made It quite apparent that the May
notices will be taken up and there was
enough covering by old crop shorts to
account for the early rally, but there
was no aggressive buying. and as soon
as the scattering demand from shorts
had been supplied the market showed
renewed weakness. Reports that indi-
cations pointed to increas sed acreage in
Louisiana, Arkansas and Tennessee,
probably added to the confidence of sell
lers, while favorable weather advices
also created bearish new crop senti-
ment and helped to drive new crop posi-
tlons below the II cent level for the
first time this season. Realizing by he
cent sellers checked the decline around
II .9Sc for October and caused slight rail-
lies in the late trading. 1t was rumored
that houses with Liverpool connections
stopped notices amounting to 10000 or
1000 bales. but that the bulk OF the no.
tees issued went back into the hands
of local spot interests.

Many notices were stopped for European
account and the cotton will be shipped

made to various commission houses.
Estimates range from soO00 to $1,000

We're heavy sellers all day ON the Idea
that spinners would not buy until after
the tariff was settled They also felt
the shipping from the stock would not
have any effect upon prices which we're
dominated here as in Europe by political
factors and not by the supply remaining
on hand. They argue il tariff Is re-
vised as stated that the south will have

they expect will follow.
In fact, 1t is evident the pesslmsm OF
the trade reflects the prevailing tone in
