Odorless and Effective

T have been keeping house for 2i years and have been kept free from bugs by the constant use of kerosene oil. turpen- tine. CT something similar. On account of the above mentioned articles leaving a strong odor, will you advise me of some thing to prevent bugs from coming which is odorless? MRS. ]. D.,
 Once a month have the room swept and dusted faithfully, burning sweepings and dust. Then take one room at a time and saturate bedding and upholstered fur niture with gasoline, using syringe. Inject the fluid into cracks and crannies, especially about the cornices and base board. co this In the daytime and have no fire or artificial light near. shut the room up tightly for 24 hours, then open and air. The odor will evaporate quickly before a strong draft of fresh air. You may make saturate solution of wood alcohol and corrosive subimate and apply in tht same way. The gasoline is cleaner. more easily applied than the solution, and the odor is gone as soon. leaving no particles of poisonous pow der secreted in crevices.

IN
 OLD CROP MONTHS
New Positions Ease Off Un- der Scattered Selling; 1 to
 13 Points Net Decline

New York. April se.-The cotton market was unsettled by liquidation in the old crop months and after ruling steady dur mfg the greater part of the day, new crop positions also eased off under scattered selling, with the close steady at a net de- cline of to l3 points. Beyond continued reports of an unsatisfactory situation in cotton yarns the talk around the ring advanced no special req son for the selling of old crop positions. Some of the people woh were selling July appeared to be buy ing new crop deliveries. There were con flicting rumors as to the disposition of the cotton which is expected to go into new hands tomorrow as a result of ths first May notices, but there was no change in the character of southern spot news, and nothing was heard of any in creased shipments toward New York. Summer month longs, however. appeared to be disposed to reduce their holdings, and in addition to Wall street selling, there were offerings from houses with Liverpool and New Orleans connections.
 The market opened steady at a decline of 1 point to an advance of points. with active months selling 1 to points net higher right after the call on reports of unfavorable weather in the southwest. the comparatively steady showing of Liv- erpool and the increased English spot sales. It very soon became apparent, however, that there was a good deal of July for sale and the increased offerings of that position in the face of the recent May notice developments, and the talk Of shipments out of tn elocal stock, ap- peared to undermine the confidence of scattering longs
 The market soon weakened and some stop orders were uncovered as prices eased off New crop positions failed to follow the decline at first, owing to re- ports that much replanting was necessary in the southwest, but offerings became rather heavier in the late trading and the new crop sold about to points net lower. while the old crop showed losses of from to 12 points. The close was a point or two up from the lowest on near months as a result of covering.

GENERAL ADVANCE
 INSTOCK MARKET - - Steel Yields Under Pressure. Spurts Taken in Mis-
 sOuri Pacific

New York, April so.--Quotations moved upward decisively in the late trading to- day, after several hours eg uncertain movements. Until the final upturn, which was accompanied by an outburst of ac- tivity. trading was dull. Most of the time the level of prices was above yes terdays close. but the market was dis turbed by pressure against some of the weaker stocks. and spectators were ob- viously groping about for definite lead in one direction or the other. The needed impulse came in the last half hour, in the shape of circumstantial reports that con trol of Missouri Pacific would pass into the new and powerful hands. This stock, which previously had reached new low point at 15i., was bid up nearly points from the days low mark, and the whole market advanced with it.
 Conditions favored the market at the opening London had established high CT range of prices and bought stocks here. General Carranzas S acceptance of media tion gave more hopeful turn to Mexican affairs. Additional railroad reports for March in most cases made a better ex- hibit than in recent months Under these
 
 influences there was general advance in prices during the forenoon.
 The higher level was utilized for re- newed distribution of stocks which caused several recessons before the market hn- ally swung upward. Another unsetling influence was the weakness sof low-priced railroad stocks and bonds, especially those of the Gould roads. Rock Island col laterals and debenture 5s sold at new low figures the former dropping to 3o1s and the latter to 66ls. Steel also yielded under professional pressure. Recent re- ports of poor trade conditions were em- phasized by announcement of further price reductions
 Prospects of strong bank statement and the improving outlook for peaceful solution of the Mexican problem inf1u- enced the money market. Offerings were larger and rates for short periods were scattering. Bonds were irregular. Total sales, par value $1,4l5,0oo.
 United States bonds were unchanged on can.

NET GAINS BY ALL
 LEADING STAPLES Good Export Demand for New Crop Has Rallying
 Influence

Chicago April 30.-Development of "a good export demand for new crop winter grades had a rallying influence today on the wheat market as whole. In the end. prices were firm at the same as last night to l4c higher. Other speculative articles showed a net gain all around corn, i4Qsc; oats. A@lac; provisions, 5q 20e.
 Export sales of new crop winter wheat here aggregated 500. GOO bushels. In addi- ton, 5o.00o bushels of old No. ? hard was reported as having been sold to Balti- more for ocean shipment with 5oo0o more virtually accepted Besides word came from both Philadelphia and Duluth that export bids in those cities were within Ac of working basis. Such news, coupled with the wide discount of American mar kets under Liverpool and with the fact that the greater part of the No. red winter in public elevators here has been registered for transfer to shippers. made leading shorts inclined to take profits, and caused some fresh buying as well.
 Improved feeling on the bull side of the wheat market was preceded by tempo rariy successful demonstration on the part of the bears. Lively selling that prevailed for a while was due largely to further rains in western Kansas and Ne braska. and to excellent field conditions in the spring crop belt, regardless of some delay to seeding in northern Minne- sota and North Dakota.
 Important covering by conspicuous shorts turned corn prices up grade after an early period of weakness. Efforts to dislodge holders of May options were for the most part a failure, although deliveries tomorrow promise to be large. Demand that appeared to be springing up in the southwest had a stimulating ef- feet on the market here.
 Oats had rally with corn and wheat. It was said most of the deliveries of oats tomorrow would be taken by shippers.
 Provisions felt the effect of the revived strength ili grain. During a considerable part of the day. however, prices suf- fered from the weakness of the hog mar ket. and from a disposition by packers to sell on the hard spots.
 Future ullotatious were as follows.

 to 8 Points Down

New Orleans. April So.-At the opening of the cotton market today, prices bore up well, but later the market followed the bear onslaught in New York and closed to points down.
 At the opening, conditions presaged a distinct improvement in prices. With New Yorks stock depleted by the ab- sorpton of May notices by southern mills and continued adverse weather reports fro mthe western belt, the long element displayed a marked spirit of sanguinity, and prices were bid up to moderately higher level But later on a bearish on- slaught upon July at New York had the effect of discouraging operations for the long account and nj consequence. the fig ures moved off slowly but steadily to the end of the day.

Hubbard Rros. & Co.'S Letter

New York; April 30.-tSpeciaI)--F the opening there was absence of the de- mand which has advanced prices during the past six weeks so that the market slowly eased from the start to the close under what appeared to bes selling from the south on the rather better weather reports.
 Transactions are on a moderate scale, as few are inclined to anticipate the future course of prices. Everything looks SO tsncertain, the necessity of a large crop Is so evident, and yet the large movement from India and the con- sequent large visible supply with de- pressed trade in this country checks inc vestment demands.

No Fault of the Mixer

when conditions were right. and when bread Is not good it Is no fault of the mixer. It Is certainly a great help to any woman who bakes her own bread and I could not do without mine. Bread not to dry out, should be kept In a closely covered tin box. A 59-pound lard can with a good lid is an excellent bread receptacle. C."
