REDUCED ACREAGE
 IN SPRING CROP BELT
Outlook Has Much to Do With Bringing About
 Strength In Wheat

Chicago, May 6.-Chances of decreased acreage in the Red river valley. both on the Minnesota and the Dakota sides. had much to do today with bringing about a strength in. wheat. The outcome was a steady close at a shade to l4assc net ad- vance. Corn finished 1-16c off to AaSc up; oats with gain of isc to lsdl4e, and provisions dearer by 7lz@2oc.
 Wheat speculators gave most attention today to developments in spring crop belt. Advices ranging from Fargo, N. D.. to Grafton, N. D., one of the best produc- ing sections in the world, indicated that owing to the prolonged cold. wet weather, seeding had only been completed about 3S per cent as rule. and that after May 10 other grain instead of wheat would be planted. Even if these are no further rains for sometime, the outlook Is pre- carious because several days of warm. dry weather are needed to put the land in condition.
 Flattering prospects for winter wheat made prices undergo dip at one time. but during most of the day the market averaged higher Firm cables and de- creasing supplies in Europe, as well as the Onlted states was helptuI 10 the buying side. So far this week northwestern stocks have been cut nearly 1.50o. .co0 bush- els.
 Leaders in the corn crowd were inclined to be bullish on account of continued de- lay to Argentine shipments. At first. how ever. reports of better weather In Ar gentina made quotations sag. Corn plant ing in the Unted States is extending northward rapidly. and barring unusual rains. the work will be finished on time with some increase of acreage.
 Offerings of oats were not large. either futures or cash. The market is still fair ly we'll protected against competition by Canada, as higher prices are prevailing there
 Provisions ascended with hogs and grain. There was also reported im- provement in the southern demand for cash meats.
 Future quotations were as follows.

Trading On Diminishing Scale-Pig Iron Figures
 Make Better Showing

New York, May 6.--The stock market -as almost at a standstill during most of rooay's trading In the foreign markets as well as at home. initiative was lack ing. and indications were for an indefin- ite period of inaction pending the clear ing up of some of the more important problems which obscure the outlook The English market it is expected will go slowly until the Ulster question is dis posed of. On the continent, financial conditions are. still unsatisfactory. In this market the Mexican situation con tinues obe the chief restraining influ- ence. While this factor has been of smaller influence since the suspension of hostilities, the uncertainty still felt on this score hangs over the market.
 The movement of stocks today corre- sponded with this state of affairs. Few shares either rose or fell as much as a point Trading was on a diminishing scale. There was nothing in the day. news to give direction to the market, which developed no definite trend. In the morning prices eased off on scattered realizing and the sale here of a few thou sand shares by London. A recovery fol- lowed on which Reading made tempor- ary showing of strength, but in the last hour the list sagged again. Northern Pacific, Missouri Pacific and Chesapeake and Ohio were distinctly heavy, but the average change was trifiing.
 Pig iron statistics for April made a bet ter showing than had been expected. The months total was 2,269000 tons, which was virtually the same as in March. AL though the expected curtailment did not come a number of blast furnaces were blown out toward the end of the month. and the capacity active on May was es- timated at 5000 tons a day less than on April l. Steel market conditions, accord ing to the weekly reviews by trade au- thorites, showed no improvement. In the copper market current business was said to be unusually dull. Forecasts of the producers monthly statement, to be made later in the week, call for an in crease of supplies. estimated variously at 5000,000 to 15,000,0O0 pounds.
 Demand sterling rose to the highest fig ure of the year today, and it was ex- pected that further engagements of gold for Europe would be arranged.
 Bonds were steady. aside from 2-point rise in. Rock Island collaterals. Total sales (par value), s2, 10000 United States 2s registered advanced l4 on call.

RENEWED DEMAND :. FOR CROP POSITIONS
Favorable Weather News Checks Early Advance
 Liverpool Houses Buyers

New York. May 6.--An early advance
 in the cotton market was checked by
 the very favorable average of today $
 weather news. but after rather sharp
 reaction. prices steadied again on a re-
 newed demand for old, crop positions
 and the close was steady. net points
 higher to points lower
 Houses with Liverpool connections
 were active buyers of July during the
 early trading and, after opening steady
 at unchanged prices to an advance of
 3 points, the market sold about to 9
 points net higher. July contracts here
 were selling about 1S0 points under
 July-August In Liverpool at the open ing, comparing with difference of only 94 points, done two or three weeks ago, and the foreign buying was sup posed to be both for the purpose of realizing on old straddles and for fresh straddle account
 There was also some buying of July against sales of new crops by local traders who were supposed to be re- versing trades put out some time ago when the July premium over October was considerably larger. After the close of the English market, however, the demand became less active and ,he market turned easier under scattered selling. which appeared to be inspired by the favorable detaield weather re- ports and official forecasts for general ly fair weather in the belt tonight and tomorrow
 Offerings of new crop positions may also have been encouraged by the re- port of a prominent southern authori- ty claiming that the crop was TWO weeks early east of the river, normal to a week carly In Oklahoma and Ar kansas. and not more than two weeks late in Texas. This report said con- tinued dry weather fin the eastern belt would not be harmful at thls stage, but that dry weather was now imperative in the southwest as continued rains would be injurious.
 , New crop positions sold or points
 net lower during the middle of the afternoon. while the old crop reacted to about yesterdays closing figures. but the market was steadied around this level by scattered covering and
 rallied several points In the late trad ing when there was a good demand for
 July fro ma house credited with having July from a house credited with having for southern mill interests.
 Closing prices were to points higher on old crop months.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter

New York. May 6.-(Special. .)-Cables this morning were about as due. but pri- vate dispatches were received stating that there was an impression in the for eign market that the market was low enough for the time being.
 Liverpool was a buyer early here and was buyer of July again at the close so that month was some 10 points higher than last night On the other hand. per feet weather conditions caused an easier feeling in the fall months in which for the size of the market quite a scattered speculative long interest had been ac- cumulated in anticipation of continua- ton of bad weather

 The fact that malaria was so prevalent in 1912. and there were many more cases and more deaths than in 1913. is traced to the fact that the precipitation for 1912 was S9 SC inches and for 1913, 6l t2 inches. The average monthly precipitation for 1912 was 2.s2 inches more than the normal. and there was a great excess of rainfall during the spring months It was also a year when the rivers and streams were high, ovefflowing many lands during the early spring, so that upon the receding of the waters many mosquito breeding places were created.
 Mosquitoes are found in every county in the state as well as places for them to breed. Mosquitoes are responsible for the , great prevalence Of malaria.
 Jefferson county reported deaths from malaria to the extent of 251 out of every 100000 of it's population. Mobile county reported deaths from the same cause Of Si.6 for every 10000, while Montgomery reported 255 for every 100000 Blob county reported the greatest number of deaths per lOOooo population-its record being 52 8.

PARK AND PHILLIPS
 ADDRESS ROTARIANS
Dr. Phillips Makes Plea for Continua-
 ton of One-Mill School Tax At Mondays Election

William s. Parks of the Columbia Graphophone company occupied the boards at the Rotary club luncheon at l o'cock at the Southern cub yesterday. and his talk was about graphophones. MT. Parks told of the invention of the talking machine and of the progress in it's making up to the present time. He told of how it began with about four worlxmen turning out three machines a day until now thousands of workmen produced hundreds of machines a minute.
 Dr. J. H. Phillips delivered fve-minute talk on the proposition for the renewal of the 1-mill school tax, which comes up in next Mondays election. This tax was voted to exist for 10 years The 10 years will expire with this year. and 1t is now up to the voters whether or not 1t con tinues to be in force. Dr. Phillips pointed out that the money derived from the tax amounted to about $l6o,0O year. This money, he said. was used exclusively to pay salaries to teachers and for no other purpose. The city of Birmingham gets about 50 per cent of the entire amount. If this revenue were to be taken away it would necessitate shorter school term. Dr. Phillips closed with an earnest appeal for the continuance of the tax.
 President J. F. Shelby of the club called attention 10 the fact that President w. P. G. Harding of the First National bank had been appointed as member of tho Federal reserve board, and the club de- cided that he should be congratulated A committee of three was appointed to draft suitable letter of congra tulation, as fol- lows: J. w. Donnelly, Dr. Henry M. Ed monds and Dr. J. H. Phillips
 On May IA, President Shelby, with cer- tain members of the club. Is going to make a southern invasion. traveling as far south as Mobile. which place they will make their temporary headquarters, esta blish- ing new Rotary club there. MT. Shelby has within the past year or, 50 organized 10 Rotary clubs in the south. and if ia said he has stablished reputation which if not a worlds, is certainly the record for the United States.

MODERATE DECLINE SHOWN IN LIVERPOOL Here Old Crop Closes 3 to , and New 2 to 3 Points
 Advance
Rate. Bid. Asked.

New Orleans, May 6.-Conditions at Liverpool offset the influence of good weather in the cotton belt in the local cotton market today and the close was at an advance of 3 to points on the old crop months and to 3 points on the new options.
 The Liverpool market showed a mod crate decline but if also reported heavy sales of American spots and rapidly di- minishing supplies and that condition proved sufficient to offset the effect of clearing weather in the western belt and keep prices in this market at a fairly steady range. Also an in- creased local demand for the better grades of spot cotton was noted and as supplies of that character are scarce, holders demanded higher prices.
