MUCH UNDERLYING F|RMNESS IN STOCKS Ease With Which Market Recovered Encourages
 Traders

New York, May 1.-The ease with which prices today recovered from their abrupt declines of the previous day was accept ed as further proof of the stock market s underlying firmness. The chief factor in today's advance was the note of quiet re- assurance contained in President Wilson Philadelphia address Encoura cement also was felt in the cessation of heavy foreign selling.
 Apart from it's general improvements the chief feature of the market was its com parative apathy. Final pTces were at or near the best, investment issues being most conspicuous in the rise
 The situation growing out of the Lusi- tania disaster was less of a depressing in- f1uence, but foreign conditions as whole, especially Italys possible course, was plainly deterrent to more bullish actisi- ties.
 Domestic news of a routine character included an increa sing demand for cop per, hardening tendency for time money the successful result of the Pennsylvania railroad bond offering and declaration of an initial dividend on Maxwell motors first preferred stock.
 Investment bonds moved in sympathy with shares, all the leading issues re- maining losses of the previous day. Total sales, par value, aggregated s2S50, 0000.

COTTON MARKET IS
 TENDING UPWARD
More Optimistic Feeling as to International
 Relations

New York, May 11.-A more optimistic feeling as to international conditions was reflected in the cotton market today with October contracts selling up to 1o.o5c. or approximately s2.so per bale from the low level reached on yesterdays break and with the list closing strong with net gain of to ss points on the day.
 The opening was steady at an advance of to 10 points in response to relatively steady cables. Following the break of yesterday. there appeared 10 be compara- lively little cotton for sale. and traders were evidently disposed to take much camer view of general conditions. Fa- yorable weather advftes and predictions that the weekly report of the weather bureau tomorrow would read rather bear
 shly may have promoted some scattering selling on the advance, but there were only slight reactions, and the market showed greater strength toward the close when there appeared to be some fresh Wall street buying well as more active covering by recent sellers. Final prices were practically the best of the day Houses with Liverpool connections were good buyers at times. which was. sup posed 10 reHect covering pS sei au'te'' who had sold last week, and the steadier ruling of the cables, combined With re- ports that spot holders were not meeting the recent decline in futures. were no doubt factors on the advance. Buying was more generally attributed however, to the improvement in general sentiment and feeling that the technical position of the market had been materially strengthened by recent drastic liquda- ton.

PRICES RISE ON
 STOCKS AGAIN

New York. May 1.-The unusual excite ment and weakness which have charac- terized dealings were absent today. Prices rose buoyantly at the opening. pre- sumably in response to the feeling of con- fidence inspired by President Wilson's public utterances. fell back slightly dur ing an interim of dullness and closed with a renewal of the strength which made the initial trading noteworthy.
 The short interest refrained from active operations after 1t was again driven to cover and the caution shown by that ele- nent for the balance of the session was largely responsible for the moderate over turn of about 600,00O shares.
 Selling for foreign account was not market influence. Indeed, London and the continent probably were buyers here on moderate scale.
 Such restraint as was shown by the bull side arose largely from continued appre- hension respecting the outcome of develp- ments among the foreign nations now at war. 1taly's attitude in this connection also figured to an increasing extent.

Hidden Dangers of Icebergs

From the Wloe world Magazine.
 One of the main dangers in the prox- imity of an iceberg is its unknown ex- tent beneath the water. It is told that the passengers of a steamboat on the Newfoundland coast successfully impor- tuned the captain to approach an ice berg for close inspection. While still apparently sufficiently distant for safety some movement in the water or natural decay acted upon the berg, and it split apart. Instantly it began to read5ust It's balance. The tremendous masses beneath the water steadily rose as the pieces swung over, and one wide extending ledge came up beneath the boat. What shall we do now?" in- quired a tourist. ''Get down on your knees" was the terse reply of the cap. tain. But the great wave from the tumbling ice swept down on the boat and washed it to safety. The collaps !, of an iceberg spreads danger to great distances. It may be too far distant to threaten q craft itself, but the wave 1t raises will swamp the largest boat In the tnamedtate neiehbofhood.

GREAT STRENGTHS SHOWN BY COTTON Traders Become Confident and Buying Gets
 Heavy

New Orleans, May 11.-Cotton showed surprising strength today, especially late in the session, after the cabinet meeting at Washington. Traders who operate on a large scale gained confidence from the fact that no announcement of the deliber- ations of the cabinet was made. Buying became heavy and the market closed at the best of the day, a net advance of 3S to 36 points
 The opening was at an advance, in sym pathy with the higher tendency in Liver pool. Feeling was more hopeful than for several days and yesterdays short sellers turned buyers. The speech of the Presi- dent last night made a most favorable inn pression and led to considerable buying in the hope of a prolonged reaction from the decline. Even when it was announced that the Presidents speech did not neces- sarily indicate his policy in the Lusitania affair there was only momentary set back of about half dozen points, after which came a quick recovery. Late in the session with the market already nearly 14c pound up, there was a sharp bulge of 10 points when it became known that the proceedings at the cabinet meeting would be kept secret On this rise prices stood 34 to 36 points over yesterdays close.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter

New York. May 11.-(Special )-Liverpool felt the absence of any offers from Amer lea or from the government, anvancing on a small business because of these small offers Here market steadily ad- vanced from the opening to the close, which was some 20 poipts higher than yes terday on a covering demand finding. as in Liverpool, few sellers, excepting those who had the courage to buy yesterday In the demoralized market. A portion of the demand was due an estimate of acreage. fertilizers and weather conditions. given out by bureau, which in the past has been accurate in their conclusions The close was so strong as to lead many to look for lower prices tomorrow on the theory that the pace was too rapid. We do not think the advance has changed the bearish sentiment.

SOUTHERN bAPT|STS !. ID CONVENE TODAY Visitors From All Over the South Arriving in Hous-
 ton for Meetings

Houston, Tex, May 11.-Delegates from
 all parts of the south arrived here to-
 day and tonight to attend the annual
 Southern Baptist convention, which will
 open tomorrow. The Woman's Mission
 ary union also will convene tomorrow,
 and with the convention proper will con-
 tinue in session throughout May 17. V. l. Masters of Atlanta. Ga. editorial
 secretary of the home mission board, to- night made public a report showing a total membership in the church of approx infately 2.5Oo,OOO an increase of 6s,97O mem- bers since the last convention. The finan- shows expenditures of approximately $1 ,000000 in home mission work during the past year and an indebtedness of $22, 900.
 Under the head of development work, the report shows that the southern Bap- lists last year maintained 34 mountain schools. with 52s1 pupils. and that there are 25,000 Baptist churches in the conven- tion's territory. Of these churches. the report states. 2o.00e are rural churches and 1s.oO0 of them hold only monthly serv- ices There are $500 ''houseless churches among these and 16,2 POO of them are led bv pastors who do not live in the church com munity.
 The report urges more attention to ed. ucating mountain children, more effort to
 provide permanent places Of worship for congregations without such houses. and
 provisions for each pastor to live in the
 community in which he breaches. Development more than expansion
 should be the keynote of the home mission
 board this coming year.. said NY. Mas ters.
