INCREASED ACTIVITY
 IN COTTON MARKET
Firm Cables and Renewed Apprehension As to Crop
 Outlook in the South

New York, May 12.-The cotton market teddy as a result of firm Liverpool cables and renewed apprehension as to the crop outlook in the south, with the close firm at net advance of Il to p points.
 The opening was steady at an advance of to C points on foreign buying, local and southern covering. which was evident ly inspired by the relatively high cables and reports of unsettled weather west of the river. There was considerable real izing and some selling, which was prob ably inspired by an expectation that the weekly weather report at midday would make favorable showing. After making net gain of from Il to r points the market reacted or 3 points from the best under these offerings but soon firmed up again, reaching the best point of the day in the late trading, when active months showed net gains of from 15 to 23 points. The close was a point or two orr from the best under renewed realiz- ing, but there was a good demand in the hnal hour. and Liverpool was fair buyer here during the afternoon.
 The summary of the weekly weather report was considered fairly favorable but the state details showed some unfav- orable spots. while the daily detailed weather reports indicated rather general rains In Oklahoma. which it was feared would be followed by unseasonably low temperatures. Moreover the late after noon advice was promoted by unfavora ble private crop advices from the southwest particularly from the neighborhood of Iexarkana, which reported that replant- ing was just beginning, and that renewed ram promised n urfb siderable delay. In addition to this her Vousness over the new crop outlook the showing of the Liverpool cables served to emphasize bullish features of the old crop situation.

BIC KANSAS HARVEST
 STAGGERS THE BULLS
Wheat, Which Had Firm Tone at Start, Closes
 Is to 1-2c Under

Chicago May 12.-Suggestions of an ap- proach to a million-acre harvest in Kansas staggered the bulls today in wheat. The market. which had started out firm. closed at isa12c under last night. Corn finished ssc down to hc up; oats %c off to shade advance, and provisions unchanged to a rise of 12lac.
 It was from a widely known crop ex- pert that the news came regarding the heretofore unappreciated immensity of the wheat acreage this season in Kansas. He sent word that the total was far in ex- cess of what had been estimated. Judg- ing by assessors returns. he figured the aggregate at 9o0o,OOo acres, as against s,sooooo. the generally accepted previous computation. According to the authority responsible for enlarged estimates. every count promises to yield the full capacity of the land. giving a repetition of the surprising North Dakota yield of two years ago.
 Notwithstanding that Hessian fly dam age reports were fnsistent and more wide spread, both from Missouri and Illinois, the trade except at the outset was not inclined to buy wheat Failure of hoped for development of European demand was added to the Kansas prospect as a reason for changing to the selling side.
 Predictions of clearing weather instead of rains that have been delaying planters brought about increased rural offerings of corn and acted as an offset to bullish advices from Argentina Cash demand was only fair.
 In oats, the cutting down of stocks here rendered the May option firm. Auspicious crop conditions eased off the deferred fu- lures.
 Higher prices for hogs tended to lift provisions. Most of the selling was of scattered sort.
 Future quotations were as follows:

WHEELING LOSES
 GAS MONOPOLY

Charleston. W. Va, May 12.-The city of Wheeling can no longer maintain a gas monopoly. according to decision today by the supreme court of appeals, Wheeling long has sold artificial gas to private consumers from its municipal plant and later acquired a supply of nat ural gas and sold that also. Recently franchises were granted to the Natural Gas company of West Virginia on the ground that the municipal supply was insufficient. The city sought to en1oin the company from exercising its rights and lost the case in the court of last resort

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter

New York, May 2.--(Special) )-Calling by English spinners of cotton based on spring and summer months caused a sharp advance in Liverpool this morn- ing. Prospects of more unfavorable weather in the western belt were also strengthening features,l so that our mar ket ruled steady some 10 points over last nights close, advancing sharply in the last half hour on private dispatches of rains in central and northern Texas.
 This section of the belt Is unuuestion- ably late and more rain will cause a seri- ous delay. On the other hand, the Atlan- tic states and Mississippi valley are re- ported in excellent condition.
 The trade tonight was inclined to look for higher prices. baslng their ideas on the rains in the west ana the strength in Liverpool which, they believe. means that many of the contracts sold here against the predictions of various countries will be bought back as the spots are gradually resold to the mills, thus creating a de- mand as against a prev:ous pressure.

LEVEL OF PRICES IS
 BARELY DISTURBED Stocks Revert to State of Abnormal Dullness Which
 Prevailed Past Week

New York May 12.-Interest in spec ulation died away today and the stock market reverted to the state of abnor- mai dullness which prevailed last week The level of prices barely was disturbed In one hour only $500 shares were dealt in, and with few exceptions movements were limited to small fractions. The market ruled slightly lower most of the day on account of the absence of de- mand but there WIS pressure to sell.
 Good crop prospects and the expecta- tion of an early decision in the freight rate cases are strong factors on the con- structive side, which prevent aggressive speculative operations for the decline. Sentiment was more cheerful in Lon don, and the settlement proceeded more easily than had been expected. For the first time in several days London was buyer of stocks here. Dealings for foreign account were about 5000 shares
 A few stocks broke away from the narrow way. Harvester. which has been in demand for the last week, made further gain, being bought in the belief that the company would benefit from the large crops now expected. Missouri Pacific was under pressure at times, fall ing to within fraction of its recent low level.
 Foreign exchange rates, which yester- day touched the highest figure in four years held up firmly. today
 Cables mounted to a new high mark at $4.SS.50. The supply of gold bars here being exhausted the question of fur ther export of the metal in the imme- diate future depends on whether foreign bidders are willing to pay premiums to make 1t profitable to ship coin.
 Bonds were irregular Losses of 1s to 1 point occurred in Kansas And Texas As. Chesapeake and Ohio convertibles, Mis- sourf Pacific As and 5s, Seaboard adjust ment 5s and Mercantile Marine 41ss Total sales of bonds $2,335, ,000 United States bonds were unchanged call.

dContinued from Page six,

~~~~~~~~-~~S<~->~~~-~ years" Peggy continued. T don't know, but one thing Is certain and sure, lots of them have got to go. I didn't know there were as many preserve jars in the world as we have in our cellar, and as for broken pitchers and cracked bowls, and nicked soap stands and old rubbish, I never saw the like. Mother won't let a single one of them be thrown away or given away. To anybody who loves all this sort of old trash as my mother does. there ought not to be such a thing as moving
 Its terrible to tear down traditions and upset old ideas. isn't it?" Nancy in- terpolated.
 'Of course it is.' Peggy agreed" but if you live in an apartment you can't keep the rubbish that you do when you've got big house. Wen never get used to folding beds and couches with fancy pil- lows by day, being utilized for sleeping at night, but we've surely got to come to them for our guests. The six hair mattresses we possess and which are the pride of my mothers heart we will Judiciously distribute among the blood relatives-so that if life in an apartment proves too much for our nerves we can have them back at a moments notice and move into house.
 The mahogany sideboard which has been in the family for generations will have to go to our sister -fn-law, who has a tremendous house. although every one or us declared she shouldn't ever have 1t except over our dead bodies. If we ever got 1t into the dining room of the apartment we'd have to eat in the kitchen. so after much vexation of spirit we have decided to let Toms wife use It. Use it. understand, but not pos- sess it.
 Well you have had a time of if. haven't you:" Nancy said sympatheticai- ly. T had no idea moving was such dreadful calamity
 Its the most desperate thing imaeina- ble," Peggy answered. we've been torn up for two months getting ready for the awful ordeal and the getting rid of goods and chattels that have had their place in the former habitation for 50 years or more. and which cannot with safety and dignity think of moving into an apartment, have had to be cared for like so many little helpless children. Yes, truly. I wish real estate hadn't scared so high in this burg. linen perhaps we wouldn't have had to move. but as money. money. money is the cry. we've sold the old place we've lived in SO long, and now we are joining the cliff dwellers."

 Demand Good

Business on Morris avenue yesterday was quite up to the standard of the week S opening Monday, and there is good indi- cations for large demand throughout the week. Prices are unchanged and the supplies normal.
 In the egg market there was very good demand yesterday and the supplies were hardly equal. The shortage was so small, however, that it passed almost unnoticed Hens are in excellent demand, and there is good supply. Fryers are inclined to scarceness and the price is tending up- ward.
 Produce dealers continue to receive the cream of the business, but fish merchants report good business. There is an excel lent demand for greenstuffs and the supplies are consistent
