 Wheat had firm tone the greater part of the day. The Europeans were buying futures here and word came from New York, Duluth and St. Louis that export demand was In evidence. In addition, misgivings were general that the spring wheat acreage both Of the American and Canadian north west would be seriously reduced by the prevailing cold. wet weather. Forty per cent of the seeding in Manitoba still remains to be done.
 Predictions that world shipments of wheat would be light acted as a help to the bulls. So also did the fact that cargo of 250.000 bushels ed
 here from Duluth had failed to reach contract grade. It was not so well advertised that the same cargo sold

 plished At School

Montgomery. May 7.--(Special.)--D spite the bad weather. considerable work was done today at the officers school of the Alabama National Guard, which is being held in this city. During the morning the work of the officers was greatly interfered with by heavy rain and hail storm, but the practice was resumed this afternoon. and many good results were obtained.

COTTON MARKET
 GENERALLY STEADY Closes At Net Advance of From 1 to z POints-Liv-
 erpOol Disappointing

New York, May 1.-The cotton market was very quiet today. but ruled generally steady and closed at a net advance of from 1 to points. Private reports that it was raining at two or three Texas points may have helped the market dur
 ing the afternoon, but there seemed to
 be a feeling around the local ring that they could have been of no great ex-
 tent, as the early forecasts were for
 generally fair weather tonight and tomor-
 TOW. Advices continued to come in, how
 ever, complaining of recent excessive rain
 fall in the southwest and indicating that
 considerable period of dry weather
 would be necessary in some sections be-
 fore farm work could be resumed. The situation in this respect may have tended
 to restrict offerings and render the mar
 ket sensitive to moderate buying orders. Liverpool was somewhat disappointing SC far as old crop months were con- cerned. and the local market opened steady at a decline of to points There
 were a few foreign buying orders for July. but the support from that source was much less active than it was yes terday and May contracts here soon sold bout points net lower under liquida- tion. Later deliveries however, sold only a point or two down and the market soon steadied on covering by July shorts, and some demand for new crop positions which became little n.ore active on the private rain news from the southwest
 May sold 8 points net higher during the early afternoon, while other months I showed net gains of from to points 1 and closing prices were only a shade off from the best under realizing in the | old crop positions. Reports that southern hard yarn spinners had decided to cur | tail their production by one-third during 1 the next 90 days amounting. it was esti-
 mated, to about 3,00o.0o0 pounds of yarn ! seemed to attract comparatively little
 attention while British Board of Trade returns for April showing increased ex- ports of yarns, but falling off in cloths, appeared to be about a stand l off.

CONTRACT MARKET RECORDS ADVANCE Brisk Buying Sends Figures Up Sharply, the Market
 Closing Strong

New Orleans, May s.-The contract market recorded an advance today of IS points on May and to points on other old crop months, and Il points on Sep tember and to 6 points on other new crop positions.
 Prices were shade lower than yes- terday on the opening, under the infiu- ence of an easier Liverpool and a better showing of weather conditions in the western belt, but overnight advices of renewed rains and the development of a freer demand for the better grades of spots imparted a stronger tone to the market during the forenoon, and the sev- era months weer bid up gradually. The improvement halted for brief period during the afternoon but when prices for spots had been advanced 1sc officially, with relatively large sales reported, there was a brisk rush of buying that sent the figures up sharply. the market closed strong.

Result of Boys Find

From the New YOrk Times.
 London-A boy several years ago hap pened to find a piece of experiencing ore in Scotland, and this is leading to results. if not as momentous as the find ing of the historic "piece of glass by children at Kimberly, at least very im- pcrtant and interesting.
 very promising copper mine has been opened at Otter, Argyllshire, and ex- tensive operations are now in progress for the commercial working of it. Struck by the appearance of the ore, the boy kept it until about two years ago. when he showed it to J. s. Taylor, mining ex- pert in Glasgow.
 that metallic ores were less abundant on the east side of Loch. Fine than on the vest, and as matter of fact no copper was shown on the geographical map of Scotland in that district
 As a result of the communication made to him by the boy MT. Taylor prospected in the district, and three rich lodes have been opened up at Inyeryne, Tighanraed. and Kilfinan. The last named. which has been called the ''::.urder Lode." has proved to be far the richest.
 The field was selected for exploration because 1t was known that no matted how heavily 1t was manured no grass or crop could De got to grow there. and the picturesque name arose through a local tradition. that curse lay on the field be- cause 1t had been the scene of fight to death between two women. The real reason for It's barreness was found to be the presence of poisonous copper salts

PACIFIC COAST CHALMERS
Indians, Too Rich Now to Eat Clans
 Prefer Imported Sardines

The clam Is said to have been the principal sustenance of the early coast settlers during hard times. Three pio- neers used to boast that if all else failed they could still live on the faithful clam. which always furnished a supply of food, says a Vancouver special to the New York Sun
 When the tide is out the table is spread" said these cheerful people, who allowed nothing to cast them down. The Pacific coast Indians depended in former epochs on clans. mussels and oysters and other shelfish for an extra victual supply, their principal diet being fish,
 This was in the days of old. Nowadays shellfish are neglected nutriment and so are fish on this coast. The white coast dwellers are meat eaters chiefly, and the Indians have plenty of money to buy pork and canned sardines packed in Norway and San Pedro, of which they are very fond.
 A curious thing was discovered lately by searcher after truth who undertook to find out what some Indians pu>-,hased with the money they received for reservation sold by them for cash. He found that one Indian family whose an- cestors had lived on halibut and salmon and clans for generations. had been liv ing for months almost altogether on canned sardines, the most expensive brand, which these wealthy Indians bought by the case.
 During the year 1912-l3, 11.577 barrels of clans were dug in a green state on the British Columbia coast. They were worth $23,150 Some of these were canned, but most of them were used fresh. In the year 1911-12 there were S965 barrels of clans and quahaugs, valued at $17,o3o, taken on the British Columbia beaches. Most of the clam diggers are Japanese and Indians. The Japanese are the most industrious clam diggers. and it is understood that they do not take the clam fishing restrictions very seriously. On the lonely northern beaches where they dig clans by the ton the law rests lightly on the shoulders of the beachcomber, whether white or Japanese
 The beachcomber is first cousin to the buccaneer of picturesque memory. and the clans at this coast are at their best when the diggers are forbidden by law to take them, from October to May 10. It is then that the eggs ooze from the clam and ripen in shoal waterwarmed by the spring sun heat. Again. between July and August 21, there Is another spawning time and the law protects the hard shell clam and the quahaug. It Is in the spring that the clams are most delicious. as any clam eater will tell yOu

QUOTATIONS END {. WITH SMALL LOSSES
  Marrow Movement Has Lit tie Effect on General
 Level of Prices

New York May 7.--The narrow and variable movements of stocks today had little effect on the general level of prices. The market was as dull and flat as during yesterdays session and traders made no attempts to force 1t out of heNkroove in which it has tray elled for several days. Quotations moved alternately up and down. ending with small losses.
 London cables quoted lower prices for the internationale shares and re- ported selling in that market for Paris and New York Taking their cue from this quarter traders made experimental offerings and succeeded in uncovering a few weak spots Shares which recently have been heavy, such as Northern Pa l ciic, Missouri Pacific and Chesapeake and Ohio were most susceptible Else where little effect was produced and professional selling failed to bring out any volume of long stock
 With the exception of the government crop report there was no news of i'm portance in relation to the financial markets. The apathetic reception given to the crop figures indicated the de- gree of inertia which prevailed. Al though the highly favorable forecasts . were fulfilled, winter wheat showing Ran improvement over the splendid in- dication of a month ago, the stock market was unmoved. In fact the list receded to the lowest quotations of the day in the last half hour after the cror figures had appeared.
 Missouri Pacific was the conspicu- ously heavy stock on the late recession yielding over points. Selling of this stock was influenced by the continued delay in announcement of the roads financial plans. Reading also was heavy as were a few of the less active issues California petroleum common and pre- ferred were weak, the prefrred falling 5 points.
