EVERY CHILD To

Only twenty-five more days to
Christmas
What are you doing to provide
some good cheer for the children of
the poor? Perhaps you think 1t is
enough to furnish food and shelter
during these trying times. That Is a
generous thing to do, to be sure. But
the little ones cannot understand.
Christmas Is Christmas to them no
matter where their bread and butter
is coming from. They look at the
shop windows filled with toys and
pretty things. They see the people
hurrying to and fro with arms filled
with bundles. Suppose the father is
out of work and the relief committee
is being called upon, does that pre-
vent the childish longing for candy
and toys on Christmas?
Whatever we may blame In our
complex social system, for the pow
erty that we see all about US, we
cannot blame the children. They are
the innocent sufferers. But We can
contribute our mite toward bringing
happiness into these young lives for
the Christmas season, anyway. Re-
a llLlt uolt vi II Ivy oOiuiCl
received by one of these children on
Christmas eve will be priced far
more highly than the most expensive
toys those more fortunate may re-
ceive.
A free moving picture entertain
ment Is to be given the poor chill
dren in the Ditmas theatre Thurs

before Christmas. With your help
there will be Christmas tree, q
Santa Claus and bag of candy and
a toy for every child present. 1t is

this. Admission will be by ticket
only, to be given out by the Citizens

London. Nov. 30-A large portion
of England's second army of 1,000,-
600 men is now in France. This was
made clear today following the re-
ceipt of General French report giv-
ing details of fighting between Octo-
Der II and November 20, in which
he mentioned the presence of the
fourth army corps commanded by
Sir Henry Rawlinson.
The report of General French is
the first mention of this army corps
at the front. General Rawlinson's
command was in Belgium as early as
the middle of October when the re-
treat of Belgians from Antwerp was
covered. The British commander
paid high tribute to General Rawlin-
son in carrying out this operation
which he declared was most difficult.
In concluding his report, General
French declared there was now
signs that the fighting from Armen-
there's to Ypres is entering its final
stages. 1t is accepted here that the
position of the allied army is entire
ly favorable.
1t is confidently believed, however,
that with the slackening of the tight
ing on land in the western theatre
greater activity may be shown at sea
by the Germans. Work at Zee
brugge is being pushed with the ut3l
most speed. The German subma1
rines are reported entirely ready for
sea duty and parts of additional yes-
sells are said to have arrived by rail-
for construction in the dock yards.

southwest, which led to renewed strensth in the foreign markets this morning and to an advance here particularly in the fall months. as July remained under pres sure from spot interests through the day We have now reached time when the question of weather conditions becomes of increasing moment, for it is evident that if we are to experience wet May in the southwest. this in itself will stimu- late the imagination of the trade as to the probability of higher prices later in the season on accoun, of the possibility of anothe moderate crop. Such an event might also reawal<en speculation at pres ent dormant under the influence of slack ening business and the growing disincli- nation to make fresh purchases or enter into fresh enterprises because of present uncertainties.
 On the other hand. we have already scattered long interest in the fall months. based on the anticipation of a poor Nal, wherein the situation is exactly the reverse of last spring. We have now a period of clear, warm weather. with a consequent. nonrevival of either imagi- nation or speculation the holders of these contracts might have difficulty in liqui- dating To our mind, therefore, the im- mediate future of the market depends primarily upon the weather

UPWARD MOVEMENT IN STOCKS RESUMED Street We'll Pleased With Appointments on Federal
 fgRevenue Board

New York, May 1.-The forward move- ment in the stock market. which was in progress all of last week except during today. The upturn was leisurely. with no attempt at aggressive operat tions on the buying side. but the strength of the mar kets position was unmistakable. Quota tions advanced steadily until the leading stocks were to points higher, although these gains were cut down by a reac- tion in the last hour. Extensive covering on the recent rise apparently relieved the pressure against the shorts, and today's buying seemed to be principally for the long account The movement of the last week resulted in drawing in some outside business. and commission house orders, while not large. figured more extensively in today's trading than heretofore.
 The best showing of the day was made in. the afternoon, following the announce ment of President Wilson's appointments for the federal reserve board. The street was well pleased with today's announce ment.
 Railroad stocks were most prominent In the days rise. Shares of the grain carry ing roads, in particular, were in request, benefitting from the report of crop condi- tions The improvement in sentiment to- ward railroad stocks caused by the com paratively good March return was strengthened also by advices from the west to the effect that the roads were moving a good volume of business
 Owing to the signs of broadening spec ulation on the long side, considerable im- portance was attached to the continued ease5in money

THE COTTON MARKET
 HAS A PRIMER TONE
Trading Is Not Particularly Active, With Offerings
 Comparatively Light

New York. May 1.-The cotton market was firmer today on reports that re- newal of heavy rain in the southwest over Sunday had necessitated further re- planting and caused another delay in the new crop start. Trading was not
 particularly active, but offerings were comparatively light and the close was steady with prices net unchanged on June but generally 6 to 10 points higher. The market opened steady at an ad- vance of l to points in response to the higher cables. There were quite good many over Sunday selling orders around the ring, which had evidently been in spired by the declining tendency of the market here on Saturday. Many of Satur- days sellers, however were disappointed by the showing of the weather which had been expected to indicate generally favorable conditions for over the week. end. and the ealy offerings were readily absorbd A few May notices were cir culated and caused some scattering liqui- dation of that position which ruled rel atively easy during the early trading, While there was enough realizing on the advance in the latter months to cause some irregularity Generally speaking, however the undertone was very steady and May generally flrmed up with the active months selling about [ to 13 point net higher during the afternoon. Slight reactions followed in the late trading and the market closed some or points off from the best. The May premium over July was reduced somewhat early. but was recovered late in the day. ruling around 2S points at the close.
 Private cables reported very steady market in Liverpool on the rain news from teh southwest and houses with Liverpool connection were considerable buyers of both old and we crop months during the early trading. Commission houses were not active enough to indicate that the unfavorable crop news from the south west was inspiring any fresh outside in- terest of consequence, however, and trad Ing was less active after the close of Liverpool. It was rumored that one of the firm which had stopped some of the first May notices had issued notices against 1000 bales this morning, but it was also rumored that another house which had taken up first May notices to the extent of 10000 bales was planning to receive considerable more cotton before the end of the month.

FOREIGN BUYING HAS
 BULL|SH INFLUENCE
Wheat Market in the End Is Easy 5-8 to 3-4c Net
 Higher

Chicago. May 4.-Foreign buying here had an important bullish influence today on wheat. In the end, the mar net higher. Corn closed ss to ls O ss C up. Oats off shade to A c. and provis- ions with gain of 2if @7kc.
 In the wheat trade it virtually was conceded on both sides that the situa- tion was a case of phenomenal harvest promise in this country for 1914 against fairly bullish conditions throughout the rest of the world. Con siderable significance, therefore was at tached to the fact that purchasing on foreign account today. especially in September option, attained large pro- portions. Besides world shipments were light. the supply afloat was the small est since 1902. Hungary and France re- ported serious crop damage. and there was a decided falling off in the do- nestle visible stock.
 May wheat bulged so suddenly at one time as to put shorts into good furry. The upturn. however, attracted much hard winter wheat here from the west purchases to arrive being 450, ,000 bushels Tightness In regard to the May delivery was also partially re- lieved by Chicago sales of $50, ,000 bushels of contract wheat to go to store.
 Delay in Argentine corn shipments, a condition due to heavy rains starting afresh, made the corn market here strong. Argentine damage estimates were raised 10 per cent. It was also half. and were now down to normal. big stocks had been more than cut in half. and wera now down to normal. Some of the consequent upturn in prices though disappeared as result of profit taking In the last hour.
 Oats at the outset were firm with other grain. but the good outlook for the growing crop led to realizing sales by house brought about a reaction.
 Provisions lost much of an early ad- vance. The dullness of the cash trade offset to some extent the effect of grain strength and of the lighter run of hogs west
