MAY CORN CLOSSES.
 AT 31-4C ADVANCE
Buying Millions of Bushels of May Corn Sends the
 Prices Upward

Chicago, May 29.-Instead of short sell CTS of wheat being subjected to squeeze which had been predicted today in the final settlements at the end of the crop year. the big firm that was in a position to twist prices upward went to unusual lengths to ease difficulties for wheat dealers and itself was caught short In corn. The real furry was in corn, which closed for May at an advance of SAC, compared with last night. but otherwise virtually was unchanged. Wheat fin- ished isaj4c to ssc net lower, oats 11ac down to lac up. and provisions 10c off to a shade advance.
 The chief owners of wheat supplied May option freely to all bidders and also accepted as valid delivery wheat on track here. against trade rules. The price was about cents higher than a year ago.
 Buying of a million bushels of May corn by the principal short. the firm that was in control of wheat sent prices for may upward. The great bulk of the buy ing. however, was not at the extreme ad- vance, and the net loss. if any, was not such as otherwise would have attracted attention.
 Oats settled without any abnormal inci- dent, and provisions. too. ended the month peacefully.

MARKET C[0SSES9 ID APPOINTS DOWN Liquidation of the Long h. terest Keeps Prices Below
 Thursdays Close

New Orleans, May 29.-Liquidation of the long interest was resumed today in the cotton market as soon as trade conn menced and prices were kept below the level of yesterdays close throughout the session. At the lowest they were 10 to 15 points down. The close was g to 12 points down.
 Fresh buying for long account, based on continued unfavorable weather, rains in the west and drouth in the east and prospects of no immediate change kept the market steady and checked the down. ward movement.
 A private bureau report on condition of eS.2 per cent of the normal undoubtedly stimulated liquidation. although conserv- ative traders pointed out that such a condition report from the government would be considered low. Small mill talk ings increased offerings late in the ses- sion.

 Generally Firm

The Birmingham poultry and egg markets have shown a tendency for the past few days toward decided ac- tivity. The local demand is becoming heavy. but supplies thus far have proven adequate and receipts for the coming week are expected to be large and plentiful. The demand at the presS ent time is especially good for fryer but as the season for frying chicken advances supplies are becoming nor. abundant. Poultry and egg prices. how ever. remain practically unchanged. demand and supply being we'll ball anced.
 Meat is also in good demand and prices for the most part remain un- changed though salt meat quotations for the last few days have shown a tendency to fluctuate.
 Shipments of home raised vegetables and berries have now begun to slack en somewhat. this being attributed to tho hot dry weather now prevailing.

Weekly Cotton Review

New York, May 29-There has been an advance in the cotton market during the past week, with all positions making new high ground and most of them new high records for the season, on covering of shorts and a broadening speculative de- mand.
 May contracts sold as high as 45c be- fore final maturity, or Slf.75 per bale above the recent low record. while De- cember advanced to 12.sSc. The upward movement has undoubtedly reflected a scare over the new crop outlook, owing to continued wet weather in the south west. while there have also been many complaints of drouthy conditions. or low night temperatures east of the river. and apprehension of a short yield would seem to have developed coincidentally with in- creasing confidence in continued large worlds requirements.
 Realizing was very heavy above the 121kc level, and became active enough to cause reactions of some 20 to p points from the best towar. riie end of the week, when part of the heavy selling was probably in the way of realizing for over the holiday tomorrow and the gov- ernment report which is expected at noon on Monday.
 Private condition reports have shown a considerable divergence of opinion, but all of them have been under last years esti- mate, while advices from the southwest have indicated unfavorable conditions since the data for the government re- port were sent to Washington last Mon day, and complaints from the eastern belt have recently been more numerous.
 The talk in some quarters. however, has indicated expectations of Sepid imr

Where Were the Nine?

Luxe Ii.ll-iS-Mdy Sl
 Were there none found that returned to give glory to God. save this alien?"- Verse IS.
 The essence of todays lesson is grati- tude. It is impossible to imagine a per- feet human being as acceptable to God without this quality. We might almost say that the degree Of our acceptance with God is measured by our gratitude It leads to obedience to divine laws and regulations, whether understood or not. It leads to self-sacrificing labors in the service of God, and according to a divine automatic arrangement has it's blessing.
 The Savior was approaching Jerusalem by way of Samaria. It Is surmised that this was His last journey to Jerusalem, which eventuated in His death Ten Iep- CTS sitting by the roadside heard that Je- sus of Nazareth was passing by, and i'm mediately called to Him as loudly as the hoarse whisper of their disease would permit: Master, have mercy on us!,
 According to Gods arrangement with the Jews under their covenant. they were to have no sicknesses except as these would represent sins; and the priests were to pass judgment upon cases of leprosy determining whether or not the disease were leprosy etc. Our Lords direction that the lepers go and show themselves to the prisests implied healing, and suR- fested that by the time they would reach the priest they would be ready to have him pronounce them clean.
 The lepers must have had considerable knowledge of Jesus power, and must have exercised great faith: for instead of crying out for inetantaneous healing, tre~ started for the priest to have an inspec- ton. Doubtless they hoped that when they would reach him they would be well and would receive bill of health. They had gone but short distance when they found themselves cured We can well im- agine with what joy they hastened to have the priest approve them in order to return to their families. etc. 4,ut one of them slowed up, turned back, and fell at the feet of Jesus. giving Him thanks. His was a grateful heart; and we cannot doubt that he will receive great bless >~~~~~~~~~~~-~ Sales, 17o1: receipts. 1544; shipments, 67: stocks. 107.52o. Quote: A, B, $S.50; c, D, K, s4.so; M.

CARDINAL MANNING'S FORECAST

The master fallacy of the arch-im.
poster, says Cardinal Manning, is the
assertion that Christianity-that is,
the Catholic faith and the Catholic
Church-are obstacles to civilization
and progress. Christianity (as the
chaos and corruption of the Greek and
Roman world demonstrate, and as
modern Europe shows is the produc.
tive and the sustaining principle OF
all civilization, and of all progress in
the higher culture of men and of ma.
tions.
All things are preserved by the per-
manent action of the principle from
which they spring. Christendom, OF
modern Europe, with all its civilization
of national and international law, and
with all the purities and sanctities
of it's domestic and private life, is
the offspring of the Christian faith and
of the Christian Church. European
civilization will survive while it is
Christian. If it ever cease to be Chris
tian it will die out-not all at once
but stealthily, steadily. surely, under
fair countenance of seeming health
Its material progress will for gener.

moral progress has been turned back.
